Broken.

The Knock

I was upstairs for a while. I heard the front door close. I look out my window and see my parents leaving. Tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn't see clearly. I walked back over to my bed and laid down. I started to cry again.

I hear a knock on my door. "Scar please open up." It was Pietro. I get up and open the door. I sit back on my bed and he sits across from me. "Are you okay?" He asks. I look at him. His eyes are full of concern. "No Pietro. I'm not. There is something wrong with me." His eyes widen. "What is is?" He asks. Should i tell him? I think i should because he is my brother and i can trust him. I hope. I stood up and closed my eyes. I felt the power come through my body. I open my eyes to see Pietro smiling. "Whoa Scar that's awesome! I have a power too. I have super speed. It's been hard to control but i managed." We both hug each other. Then we pull away. "We can't tell mom and dad. The will call some people and we will probably end up as an experiment." I say. He nods. "I wish there were other people like us." He says. I nod. That would be amazing. Then we could have people who are the same as us and they would be able us. "Lets go downstairs and watch something." Pietro says. I nod and we walk out of my room.

We both sit on the couch. Pietro turns on the TV and tries to find something. Then he stops clicking the controller. I look and see he stopped on the news. I thought my eyes were about to pop out.

"Hello folks, we are here live at the Elementary School. As you can see here there are 30 dead bodies. We have no idea who did this but the police and investigators will find out who did this murder. 10 kids were killed and 10 student teachers, and 10 teachers. We aren't sure who these people are that got killed but we will find out as soon as we can." The news lady says.

I look ay Pietro. His mouth was open. "Who would do that? I mean really?! It's an Elementary school with kindergarteners-6th graders! Whoever did that probably doesn't have a heart." Pietro says. We both were mad.

"Just in folks that the killer is on the loose. I just talked to Sharif John and he said that they caught him but he shot 3 police men and ran. Lock your doors and make sure your loved ones are safe. Do not go outside. I repeat do not go outside! Sharif John says it will be safer for everyone to be in their homes in a basement or an attic. So no one go outside. We will have police men going around each neighborhood and they will be on the look out." The news lady got a call on her phone. Her eyes widen and her mouth hangs open. "Just in the killers name is The Hood. Please be careful and we will keep you all updated."

I look at Pietro. "We need to go in the safe house." He says. I look at him with fear in my eyes. "What about mom and dad? They are still out there!" I say. I didn't wait for him to speck. I pulled out my phone and called them.

The Call. (Scarlette S. Mom M)

S: Mom where are you guys?

M: We are still at work. Why? Is everything okay?

S: No there is a killer on the loose and he killed 30 people and kids at the Elementary school. You guys have to get everyone out of there and tell them to go home because i think that's were he'll hit next because millions of people work there and it's a big building.

M: Oh my. Okay. Your father will be there in 10 minets. While you guys are there start putting food and wait it's fine. Just go inside there and close the door. I will call you so you guys know to open it.

S: Okay just please hurry.

M: We will honey. Love you.

S: Love you too.

M: Oh and if you see any little kids outside and they look lost take them in the house.

S: K

End of call.

I look at Pietro. "Mom says that we should go in the safe house but to look out the windows to see if there are any little kids that are lost and take them with us." He nods. We both go outside and look outside. "I'm not seeing anyone. Let's go inside." Pietro says. I nod and we both rush onto the house. I lock the door behind me and follow Pietro downstairs. We have never been in the safe house so this would be the first time. Pietro opens the door and i gasp. I looks just like our house upstairs! It has a living room, flat screen TV, a huge kitchen with lots of food. 4 bathrooms, and all our rooms. I sit on the couch next to Pietro. We turn on the TV and watch 22 jump street.

It's been an hour and my parents still aren't here. All the sudden someone pounds on the door. Pietro and i both jump. "OPEN THIS DOOR NOW OR YOU WILL DIE!!!!" Someone screams. We both move to the end of the room. "It's... It's him." I say to Pietro. He nods. We hear him trying to break down the door.

Then he stops. We hear a scream. It was our moms!! I rush to the door and open it. We both see our mom on the floor bleeding! HE shot her in her in her heart! "NOOO!!!" I scream. I started to cry. Pietro sat down next to me. "Kids!" We look up to see our father! "Daddy!" I jump up and hug him. "We will talk later. We need to.." Before he could finish The Hood stabled him in the back. Our father fell to the ground bleeding out. Anger was flowing through me. My hands were glowing red. I looked down at my parents. They are both dead.

They are gone.
