I will never forget that day. How can I forget it? Every time I close my eyes, I feel like I'm reliving that day over and over again. It was a weekend, and dad promised me that he would take me to the amusement park, but he got a phone call from work, so he and mom had to go because it was an emergency. I had to go with them because it was a weekend and my nanny wasn't coming. You know, I wish I never went with them.

We went to a military camp and entered a large room filled with screens. It was a control room.

My dad went to the screens and started shouting my brother's name, "Ethan, Ethan."

my brother answered, "Captain, there's something wrong. I can't control the rocket. Someone is controlling it, and I don't know where it's heading. I can't stop it."

Dad said, "That can't be happening. Jump now from the plane, Ethan!"

"I can't; I'm tied to a chair. Someone killed all the crew and took my parachute. I don't know what to do!"

Dad started to panic.

"Calm down, calm down, son. I will send you back up now!"

Ethan said, "It's heading towards a mountain; there's no time. Tell Mom and Kara that I love them."

Mum started crying, and dad replied, "No, no, they're coming, Ethan, they're coming. Wait a bit longer, please, son!

"There's no time, dad. I love you." And then we heard a crash. I didn't understand what happened. My mom was crying, my dad was angry, and he started screaming with anger, "Ethan, Ethan! Answer me, Ethannnnn!"

Suddenly the door of the control room crashed open, and with a blink of an eye, There were gunshots and people screaming. Mom took me and hid me in a trapdoor under a table. Before she closed it, she gave me her necklace, which is the symbol of her family, and told me

"Always remember that I love you," she said, then closed the door.

After a few seconds, the shooting stopped, and then I heard two voices that I will never forget: my aunt Freya Florence and my uncle George Walker.

When I heard their voices, I thought they came to save us, but when I opened the trapdoor to take a peek, I saw my uncle holding a gun against my dad's head and telling him

"What do you think of my plan, my dear brother?" He was laughing hysterically.

Dad looked at him with confusion. Uncle continued, "It was easy, actually. I wanted to take away everything you love. I chose Ethan first; poor kid, he never saw me coming."

My dad was shocked; he didn't say a word.

"And now I'm going to kill you, then your wife, and take your daughter's powers for myself."

My dad's expression turned, and he said, "You'll never find Kara! Did you hear me never?!""

Then, with no hesitation, my uncle shot dad on the head without blinking. Mom started crying and screaming while holding my father's dead body, and then my aunt said, "Now, Flora, where's your lovely daughter?"

Mum replied angrily, "Over my dead body, Freya! I will never tell you where she is!"

My mother's eyes turned red; she blasted Aunt Freya to the wall and shot my uncle in the leg. I've never seen Mom like this, her eyes full of anger and hatred. Aunt Freya stood up, and her eyes were black. Before mom could do anything, she grabbed her throat and began absorbing all of my mom's powers from her chest until she fell to the ground without a breath left.

Freya and George stood there watching the dead bodies with a smirk on their faces. I couldn't believe what I just witnessed. They began searching the place for me, but eventually they didn't find me, so they gave up and left.

After their voices were gone, I got out of my hiding place and walked slowly to them, then sat next to their dead bodies and began crying until I blacked out from the shock I was in.
