Charlotte's P.O.V.

I lay back on the couch, grateful it was finally Saturday. My limbs ached as I reached for the remote controller, grabbing it and turning on the TV. The sudden sound of the current channel, the news, immediately popped up. "The president had been assassinated, and the world is quickly being taken over by a new government where you have to sing. Please, everyone, hide or you will be killed. Hurry-" the woman who was announcing this was cut off by someone punching her, then stabbing her. I gasped, my hand covering my mouth as my eyes widened at the sight. My stomach felt queasy at the sight of the dark red blood seeping through the woman's clothing.

A man, who was probably in his late thirties, popped up on the screen. "Be ready for us to come for you."

Is this some kind of April fools joke? I couldn't believe my eyes, but I will not take the chance of my family being killed because of my doubts. "Mom! Dad!" I yelled, running into the kitchen. "We have to leave now. Get Yuuki and we'll drive to Aunt Alina's place where we can hide."

"Why? What's going on, Charlotte?" My mom asked, taking my hands in hers. I shivered as her warm hands came into contact with my chilly ones.

I pulled my mother into the living room as I spoke. "There's no time to explain now, but we have to leave quickly or-" I was cut off by a gunshot shooting close to my head.

"Put your hands where we can see them. Nobody talks unless we say to." I slowly turned around to where the voice came from and I put my hands up. "Sing," the man commanded, pointing his gun to me.

"So you wanna play with magic, boy you should know what you're fallin' for. Baby do you dare to do this, 'cause I'm comin' at you like a dark horse," I sang until the man said to stop.

"You stay still. Don't do anything or you will be killed," he said before pointing to my mother, and she was ordered to sing.

As my mother sang, my hands shook at the stressful situation. I can only hope that they won't kill my parents, or maybe some government army members might barge in here and save us.

"I'm waiting here in line, hoping that I'll find what I've been chase-" my mom was cut off by the gunshot and the bullet went straight through her heart. I gasped, tears threatening to pour out of my eyes.

Oh my god, I think I'm going to throw up.

"Next, you sing." The man pointed his gun at my father. My father started singing, knowing he was going to die right there. I was the only one in the family who knew how to sing well. Soon after, my father was shot.

"Is there anyone else in the house?" The man who just killed my parents asked.

"No," I lied, hoping that they wouldn't find my sister.

"Search the house. If there is anyone in here, have her killed," the man ordered the other people behind him. When the two people came back from searching the house, we were notified that there was nobody left.

Thank God.

"Follow me," the man ordered me, and I obediently followed, considering I most likely would get killed if I defied him. "I'm Leon, by the way," the man - Leon - added, and I shuddered in disgust when he winked at me. Leon pushed me into a huge black van and closed the door, locking it.

"Wouldn't like you to jump out of the car. We've had a few people who died because of that," Leon sighed while getting into the driver's seat. As we drove off, I stared back at the house.

I hope Yuuki will be okay.
