Family, a word that describes love, affection, and care for each other. However, this isn't the same in my family. Or should I say, wasn't.... 

December 5, 2019, was my 16th birthday and I expected a 'good morning' from my family. But as usual, no one was to be seen that morning. Typical 'Asian' household. I went to brush my teeth when I saw a note flapping by the edge of the mirror. It said,
"Son, you're grandpa is really sick and he called out for me last night, I am leaving early this morning, make sure to drop your lil sister at her school. And yeah, make sure both of you are polite to your grandmother. ~Mom" ended the note.

 "Augh! just the way I wanted this day to be, Emi, GET READY FOR SCHOOL!". 

Emily walked to the bathroom door and smirked, saying, "Mom's not home today", 

"And?" I asked, 

"I am taking a day off... And maybe chill with Grandma".

 "Fine, just.... Eat breakfast on time ok? I am getting late for school", 

"Bye~" Em replied.

 The sky looked as if it was going to pour like never before (IT WAS LIKE THE NIGHT SKY AT 9 AM!).

'I'd be fine if I can safely get to the bus stop,' I thought to myself and went to execute my plan. It was going well so far, untill, I was willing to text my friend to ask if he could join me. As I reached into my pocket, I couldn't feel my phone there. 

"Ahh shit, maybe I left it at home" . Speaking out loud, I took a swift U-turn. Honestly, It was fun wandering around from place to place (wish i got lost and never be found by my parents). On the way, I was still taunting my parents in my thoughts for forgetting my birthday. Upon reaching my house, I saw the whole neighborhood gathered around a pole, talking about some sort of... theft (?). I ignored and rang my doorbell. No one responded so I decided to take out our 'secret key' under the porch's carpet. Something felt off. Usually, there would be screams and taunts of argument between My grandma and lil sister. However, it seemed like, they were the most peaceful creatures in this entire neighborhood (ofcourse they were not...). I saw them in two corners of the room facing towards the wall, and some white stuff was all over the floor around them. The sight seemed like a wizard was performing a ritual but maybe I interrupted their procedure (sorry mr.wizard ;-;) I tip-toed to Emily and 

"BOO"  (i tried to scare Emily) but she didn't even flinch. 

"E-Emily?" I shook her gently. 

"EMILYY NOO!!!! Grandma, what happened to Em?" I cried, 

"Grandma?". To my horror, both of them were poisoned to death by someone. 

"Augh cummon bro, wish I also took the day off" hesitantly, I called Mom, 

"Hello?" I greeted the person other side, 

"Is this Mrs. Smith's Son?", the person asked from the otherside, 

"Yes (?) where is my mom?" I asked, 

"Unfortunately, Your mom died in a car crash". Great! a cherry on top of the cake. I cut the phone and wandered around the house to find some clues about who had done all this, and what I found, shivered my spine. The same note I read today morning was lying in the kitchen floor, I peeked through the shattered window pane, and say a ladder hanging against the wall (that's new to me). Then I glanced at the note and saw some weird writing that was unfamiliar (yet familiar), 

"You're next," it said. 

A memory rushed to my head... I used to call my friends to my house to chill sometimes. Surprisingly, they already planned a trip to the "Blue Mountains" sounds fun but is known for several murder attempts in that forest. I didn't think much and just tagged along with them. 'I needed to find the murderer that grieved my family.'

The next day, we gathered on the train platform, where I noticed an unfamiliar person named Luke. My friend introduced Luke to me and said he just joined our school. 

'A lotta shit happened in a day,' I thought to myself. 

"Well... welcome Luke!" I directed Luke. 

"Thanks" Luke replied with his cold blue eyes. There's something fishy about this guy. And me being me, a 'wannabe' detective, I decided to look at what he is up to. 

On the train, he sat next to me and created a sort of border between using his backpack. Felt rude but thankful at the same time (I'd do the same thing if I were to him). I peeped through his backpack and saw some weird kinds of stuff like a cleaver?? a sack?? duct tape? {nvm it makes sense}  and plastic bags. 

"What are you going to do with all these in a hike?" I asked, 

"You'll see," he said sternly. That sort of scared me. I asked my friend if he knew something about this 'Luke' guy who came out of the blue. He said he didn't have any idea. On second thought, he seemed quite cool. ADHD struck and I forgot all those stuff and was thrilled about the hike (typical me moment).

 When we reached the forest, the sky suddenly turned grey. My friend yelled, "HURRY UP BUILD THE TENT, WE NEED SHELTER", 

"Done." Luke said delicately. We all turned around to see a Ginormous tent waiting to be filled with people. 

"JHAGHJ HOW?!?!?" we all cried. 

"Don't worry about it. It seems like it's gonna pour very soon, get in". All of us went in and started to suspect Luke although he secured us from getting wet. My friends and I were pretty tired and decided to consult Luke first thing in the morning.

 I woke up to loud calls of my friend John,

 "David wake up! Bob is missing". I stomped onto the floor as my head did a dirty spin. I felt like throwing up. The next thing we knew, all of us were scattered all over the Blue mountains. I saw a person across the trees in a small field-like area, looking up at the sky, 

"Luke?". 

"Hey David, I was looking for Bob, Mind helping me?", 

"Sure" By saying that Luke and I went to search Bob when suddenly, Luke pulled out a handkerchief and sprayed something in it. 

"Luke, what are you doing?!" I said. 

"You forgot the note didn't you?" He smirked. 

"WHAT NOTE?!?!?" I said shockingly, 

"The one in your kitchen which I left the other day," he said as he draw near me steadily. 

"DID YOU KILL MY FAMILY?!?!?" I yelled, 

"Maybe" Luke shrugged. 

"Now, COME HERE" as he pinned me to the ground and hold the handkerchief on my face. My vision was fading slowly but surely. A thought clicked my mind, 

"If only I made the right choice"
