"Ok, we're here." Sondra says as we drive into my driveway.

I look up and see my house in the moonlight. I'll be spending a lot of time here during the day now. You know, the whole sun=death thing.

"Do you want me to come inside with you?" She asks.

I nod.

We walk inside to find my mother laying dead on the table. "Mom!" I scream. I walk over to her and take her hand. I shake her. "Mom! Mom!" I yell again. "Please don't be dead. Please don't be dead!"

"Kevin," Sondra says.

"No! No! She can't be dead." I scream. I start to cry.

"Kevin," she says again, "she's gone. But I promise you that we will find who did this and kill them."

I walk over to the kitchen and find a note.

It reads:

Dear Kevin,
You shouldn't have killed Janean, George, and Johnatin! You pay. One down, two to go. See ya in hell, Kevin.

-The Council

"No, no. This can't be happening." I say.

"What?" Sondra asks.

"The rest of the council is going to kill people I care about because they think I killed 'Janean, George, and Johnatin'!" I explain.

"We wouldn't let that happen." She says. She walks over to me and kisses me, then hugs me.

"Thanks." I say.

Then we kiss again.
