A scream echoed through the house. Two screams. One more masculine than the other.

"Mom? Dad?" Alicin asked as she slowly and quietly crept down the stairs.

Everything went silent. Alicin  started to panic as she heard someone's voice.

"That's what you get..." She heard the voice say. She couldn't describe the voice. Male or female. Young or old. Nothing. Everything was a blur.

Quickly Alicin ran back up the stairs to make sure her brothers and sister were alright. Alix, a 10 year old girl whom shared a room with Alicin. Kaden, Alix's twin who shared a room with Mason, the youngest being 6. Alicin was 16 at this time. Just starting to figure out how to be a mature young adult. Just understanding how her new body works. Just figuring out what she wanted to do with her life within the next couple of years.

She woke up all three of her siblings to get them somewhere safe. 'The bathroom!' She thought. It was the best hiding place she could think of at the minute.

This was at 12:30am.

6 hours later they were found by the housekeeper that had went home to her children the night before.

Cowering and the youngest crying, Alicin showed the housekeeper the parents room. Showing a bloody mess on the bed, the walls, the floor, almost everything in the room had gone from white, which it originally was, to dried blood red.

Horrified, the housekeeper called the police.

"Calm down ma'am we'll be there soon." They told her. She wouldn't help but hyperventilate due to the fact that her employers were found dead in their own house when supposedly no one else was present.

Once the cops arrived they questioned each child individually. 

Mason claimed to have been sleeping the entire time and didn't wake up until Alicin shook him.

Alix was reading in the bedroom shared by the two girls, She had insomnia and couldn't fall asleep easily. So she had decided to read until her eyelids were heavy.

Kaden was watching a horror movie when he fell asleep on the couch in the living room, he had woken up to the sound of his parents screaming and did the same as Alicin, checking on the parents, then their siblings.

Alicin was laying in bed with her earbuds in her ears. The volume was low so she could hear the random questions her sister had a tendency to ask whilst reading or watching a movie or television. The screams had startled her and she had jumped out of bed, being the eldest, she had to protect her young siblings.

The cops all got different stories of what happened but couldn't tell who the perpetrator or perpetrators were.

They  told the children C.P.S. would come later to get them and the officers asked if their parents had any enimes, if they talked about them or had what they do.

"Sales and marketing" Alicin answered.
