I was setting up the table for the supper my mother was preparing when I heard three loud knocks at the door. It sounded like two metal pots clashing against each other. The sound alarmed us all and our father quickly signaled us to go hide while he figures out what's going on. My mother grabbed my hand and led me to the safe room (which was the linen closet) and we hid until our father have us the okay signal that its safe to come out. I was scared and I didn't know what was going to happen.

After about 10 minutes it was silent. Completely silent. I glanced at my mother silently asking her if she knew what was going on. She shook her head and I sighed. Just then I heard the most terrifying sound no daughter would want to hear when their father is protecting them. A gunshot. My eyes widened and I began feeling tears streaming down my cheek as I began to silently weep.
Father's POV
The minute I heard the loud knocks I gestured my wife and daughter to go to the safe room. As soon as they were in and safe I approached the door slowly wondering who this person might be. I opened the door slightly and I saw a horrific figure. A man who was holding a gun in his hands. I tried to lock the door but it wouldn't budge. The man look straight into my eyes and his eyes were filled with darkness. I stepped back and began sprinting to the kitchen just when I heard the gunshot. Everything around me had faded and soon black spots were everywhere. My knees became weak and I fell to the floor. I started to lose my breath then my very own heartbeat. I was dead.
Evelyn's POV
After I heard the gunshot I began hearing footsteps getting closer to where we were. I put my hand over my mouth to protect my scream from coming out. I looked up at the door knob to see it turning slowly. I began praying that it was my dad who shot the gun and not whoever was at the door and my dad was the one turning the door knob. I scooted closer to my mother and I wrapped my arms around her worried about what's to come. I whispered to her "I love you". After saying that the door flew open and a man holding a gun approached us. He grabbed me by the arm and started dragging me out of the room. My mom tried to grab me towards her but it was too late.... He shot the gun at her and she was dead. I couldn't believe what was happening. I was in a huge state of shock. Both of my parents died. I began to sob quietly as the man shoved me in his van, got in, and drove away. I didn't know where I was going. But I didn't care anymore. I didn't have anything left to live for. My life was pointless.
