Weeks of nothing but screams of our neighbors. Trenton and i Made sure no one broke in. we took turns with staying up and watching out.

I woke up to Trenton shaking me. " get up!" he whispered. " we have to hide!" Right then i knew someone was breaking in. I jolted up from my bed and bolted down the hallway quietly with Trenton and my brother. They stopped before we hit the stairs. A tall, Skinny man stood at the end of the stairs. He held a shot gun. He took a step up the stairs. " hey guys i think i heard something up stairs!" he yelled to his buddies. his southern voice echoed. Trenton turned and grabbed me and Austin by the arms. He drug us to the Bathroom. Somehow the floor was wet and i slipped, making a loud crash. Footsteps stromed up the stairs. We had no place to hide now. Trenton pushed me and Austin into the shower and closed the curtin. We heard russling around, then the door creaked open slowely.

Bang! One lonely gun shot fired. Austin and i jumped. More people flooded up the stairs. Gun shots were fired back and forth, then silence. The shower curtain flew open and Austin and i screamed. It was Trenton. Three men laid on the floor, dead. Trenton sat down. He shook terribly. He just saved us.

" are you hurt?" i asked finally. Trenton shook his head no. Austin stood up. " is everyone dead?" he took a step from the bathtub. He walked over and leaned down looking at one man's face. His eyes shot open and he grabbed hold of Austin. He pinned him down and began bashing his head into the floor. I screamed at Trenton who was trying to get a clear shot. He fired and, with luck, shot the man in the head. He fell on top of My brother, who was now unconscious. I flew across the bathroom to Austin. I shoved the man off of him and gathered him into my arms. "Austin! Austin can you hear me!"  My brother mumbled words i couldn't understand. A gash on his head bled badly. His blood trickled down my arm....just like mother's did. I was not going to lose my brother too. " Trenton grab me a towel i need to stop his bleeding!" Trenton hurried and grab me a towel that i covered the gash with. within a hour his bleeding stopped, but he wouldn't come to.  I shook him "Austin Wake up." Nothing. "Austin." i spoke Little louder. Nothing again. I was tired of not getting responses from my brother! I shook him again and yelled. "Austin! Wake up Now!" His eyes opened.  " what happened?!" He looked rounded the room. I took a deep, thankful breath.  " never check to see if someone is dead again...OK?" i smiled and hugged him. Trenton stepped into the bathroom again. " we have a problem."

Trenton led me and my brother to the garage. It was completely empty and the electrical box was torn to peices. we were without electcity. " Damn it!" I screamed. I turned and kicked a single bucket that was left behind. Trenton grabbed me before i punched the wall. 'hey! Calm down!" Anger filled my body, but left after he pulled me into his arms. 

We were left to survive on our own, but it wasn't long before i knew my father would return and our worlds would crumble.
