  Adeline P.O.V

I turn around to see a man. Maybe mid forties. He has blonde with gray hair, with  dark brown eyes. Nothing like Kalebs. He he smiles creepily at me. He gave me a feeling of fear, almost as if I should run.

I started to back up. But the step of the stair that was behind me, seemed to be dramatically lower that the other ones.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you Adeline?", the strange man says getting close to my by taking another step. I take another 4 steps down, almost at the bottom.

He takes 3 more steps. I starts to go down the stairs fast, looking back to the man still standing on the same step. I bump into Kaleb.

I scurry behind him, and hide.

"What's wrong?", he says as he puts me in front of him. He looks up the stairs, and frightening scowl covers his face.

"What are you doing here?", Kaleb says to the man, holding me behind him. The man has a thick leather jacket, with a fancy pair of dress pants and shoes. His shirt was black, his whole outfit was. His face was covered in craters. he has severe burn mark one the lest side of his face. The eye on that side of the face was a glass like,glossy. The stubble on his face made him look creepy. 

"I came to see if you followed my orders, but i guess you got a little distracted", he said smiling creepily at me. 

"I tried. But they had found us at the old house. They killed Derek. And they shot me", Kaleb says, putting his hands into fist.

"Well then. Where are you going to do now you useless bastard?!", the man yells getting into Kalebs face. I backed away from Kaleb who was getting red and angry. 

"huh!?! Answer me!! We are screwed now!! You son of a bitch!!", the man yelled as he took a hard punch at Kalebs face. i screamed. Kaleb stands back straight. 

"I dont know", Kalebs says through grinding teeth. The man takes another hard punch at kaleb. This time Kaleb falls. I scurry to pick him up. The man grabs me by my hair. He looks at my neck. His eyes fill with anger. He starts to punch me in my stomach, not allowing me to breathe. He throws me on the floor. Kaleb yells and pushes the man  way from me. Kaleb seemed taller and more angry. Kaleb reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a pocket knife.

"What are you gonna do Kaleb? Stab me?", the man says witch cocky smirk. He gets close to Kaleb. 

"You dont have the balls to stab me", he whispered in Kalbes ear. 

"No get your ass in the car out front", the man demands. He comes towards me. He is looking me straight in the eye. The he starts to twitch as he is walking and colapses foward.

The knife. It was inbeded in the back of his neck. Kaleb stands there not knowing what to do. 

"Kaleb!", i saw and run to him. He grabs me and hold me. 

"What are we gonna do?", i ask freaking out.

"Lets go. We need to get out of here", he says and leads me to the living area of the house.

"Sit here. And hold this", he says handing me a gun. i sit on the couch. I hold the weapon in between my trembling fingers. He runs up stairs. Passing the body of the man. Blood puddled . The mans face had a faint smirk. His eyes as cold as they were when he was alive.

Kaleb comes down the stairs. He has three duffel bags, and one suitcase. 

"Lets go. I have a car in the garage", he says as he hands me the suitcase and leads me out the house. We follow a elegant pebbled path that leads to he garage.

He opens a glass door. There were at least a dozen of the fanciest cars i had ever seen. They were shiny, and brand new looking.

He walks up to a black Range Rover. It was a beauty, patented leather seats, elegant interior. He opens the door for me while he opens the trunk of the car to put the stuff in. The seats were so soft, but cold. Its the nicest car i have ever been in.

He opens his door and hops in. He puts the key in the engine and begins to back out of the garage. 

He starts to drive. He grips tightly onto the stearing wheel. He has blood on his finger from where he held onto the knife.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He hasn't said a word to me since we left the house and we have been driving for about 1 hour.

"Kaleb?", i ask while rubbing my fingers together.

"Yeah", he says. Take a deep breath. His eyes haven't left the road. His eyes were teary, and his face kept scowl.

"Who was the man?", i asked my voice a bit shaky. 

"My father", he says as a tear rolls down his cheek.
