"Mom, Dad I'm home!" I yelled to see if they were here yet.

No answer now I have to check the whole house.

No one.

Wow my birthday 18th birthday comes and the whole town dissapears, literally.

No one was at school, no cars driving past me, no stores open.

My parents went all out for this birthday party.

Haha I love my parents shut down the whole town just for my party.

"Not for your party." Mysterious voice. Weird.

"Hello did I just here someone?"

"Yes you heard me." the voice came from the kitchen so I walked in.

A man in his thirties was looking down at the floor.

It was like he was there but wasn't at the same time.

"You are in the town alone." Said the man.

"Who are you?" I didn't seem scared because obviously my parents hired this man.

"I am you." he replied.

Ok, my parents out done it.

"Your parents didn't out do anything." this freaked me out because I didn't say that out loud.

"No you didn't I just heard it." Ok this guy is starting to creep me out.

"Listen,"He said loudly as in another voice.

"I talk you listen." I nodded because that was the only thing to do because the mans eyes were now a shining light.

"I am you. I am your guardian angel. I know things you don't, I am higher power," He put a firnger up to close my mouth that was about to speak.

"Someone very evil wishes for your death, and commands it among his people, I can no longer protect you as of your age, but my people agreed to help giude you. In the end you will die to be remade and the process repeats through out generations.Parents as your people call them are the people who killed you before.Talk."

He demanded so I did.

"How do you know this?" Was the first question to come to my mind.

"Listen girl, I am you, I know things you don't, I am higher power." He repeated.

"It happened to you." I stated not as a question but he took it as one.

"Yes."

"Who killed you."

"Your father." That hit a mark because my heart started to burn.

"And he will be the one you kill first."

"No!" I said quietly.

"My mistake was that I didn't have the ability to kill my mother."

"What were the consequences?" I asked regretfully.

He gave me a grave look and replied with, "I changed the process."

And he walked out the room motioning me to follow.

"How so?" I asked.

"Your the first girl."he replied and stopped to hand me the most expensive looking knife.

Once I looked around the room I noticed we were in my parents room and my dad was sound asleep. Impossible I just checked his room when I got home.

"You have to stab him right in the heart."

"No I can't, thats my dad."

"Do it or he will wake and kill you."

"I can't" The body moved, my dad woke up.

I didn't know what to do so I stabbed him.

In the head blood gushed out everywhere.

The man smiled,"Good your first kill."
