There we stood face to face. Me with a knife and my mother with a gun. Was this really my last chance to get away. Was I really about to kill my only mother. The only family I have left. "Mom please just let me go why are you doing this" I asked. She smiled and looked down. "You really don't know do you" She said softly. "NO I don't" I said lowering the knife a little but still keeping a grip on it. "Me and your father had split way before I got pregnant with you. Zach had just been born. We never talked after that. Years later, he came to the house drunk off his ass and rapped me. I wanted to get a abortion, because my writing job had just started to take off. But after you were born I had to stop. You crushed my dreams, the night I took you home I tried to kill you in the bath tub but Zach stopped me. He said from there on out I wasn't allowed to be alone with you. So I lost all my money and I lost my job. My dream job. I hated you. I still do. You ruined everything" She said tears rolling down her cheeks. She pointed the gun at me and I gripped the knife tightly. I stood there in shock. "Now that Zach is gone I can finally finish what I should have done 17 years ago. I am the reason your father died. I have killed everyone in this family. Your aunt Samantha drowned the other night doing the dishes. I wonder how that happened" She laughed evilly. "YOU KILLED MY AUNT" I yelled tears rolling down my cheeks. "And now your next" she smiled. A plastic bag went around my head and I held my breath. I swung the knife hitting savannah a good couple times. Finally I stabbed her in her leg causing her to scream letting me go. I pulled the plastic bag off my head and noticed a window behind my mom. I didn't know how High we were but I knew we weren't that high. I grabbed the knife and took a deep breath charging towards my mom. She shot the gun and I stumbled back hitting the wall. I grabbed my side where the bullet hit and pushed through the pain. I raised the knife up and aimed it at the arm with the gun. I have no aim so I was praying the whole time I was staring at her. I threw the knife as hard as I could and winced as I was all cut up. It missed her by a couple inches and my heart dropped. She shot the gun again but I pushed my self off the wall before the bullet could hit me. She started to reload the little pistol she had so I took the little chance I had and ran towards her. I tackled her forgetting about the pain as adreniline was pumping through me. She fell on her back and the gun went flying out of her hand. It went sliding across the floor next to my knife. I hit her in the face with my elbow causing her to claw at my face. I punched her in the throat and crawled off of her running for the knife and gun. When I reached the knife I seen my mothers hand next to the gun. I grabbed the knife swinging it, the knife hit her in her shoulder causing a huge gash. She laid there screaming, She was to busy caring to her arm to realize what I was doing. I searched her pockets and found Taylor's phone. I ran down the hallway to the door, leaving my mom and savannah there to bleed out.

I opened the door and stood there for a second. I let the sun soak into my skin as I took a deep breath. I took a step forward and almost fell. I looked down and seen my right pant leg was soaked in blood. I winced pushing through the pain holding my side. I called my phone off of Taylor's praying someone would answer.

I was sitting on the bed watching American horror story when I head frantic knocks at the door. Alyssa and Hayes looked at me scared. "Hide in the corner out of sight" I whispered. They both rushed to the corner and I couldn't see then anymore. I slowly walked towards the door and looked through the peep hole. Nash and Taylor stood there out of breath. I opened the door quickly and hugged them both. Nash ran into the room and looked around frantically. "Hayes" He said weakly. Hayes stood up along with Alyssa and Nash engulfed him in a tight hug. Alyssa hugged Taylor tightly crying. But I was standing there with no one to hug. My thoughts started running wild and I started to panic. "Where's Shannon" I asked. Nash looked at Taylor and they both sighed. "She is the one who helped up escape. She was attacked by savannah before she could get out" Taylor said. "Why didn't you try and help her" I asked getting kinda pissed off. Nash was about to say something when Shannon's phone started to ring. I picked it up and seen Taylor's name pop up on the screen. I answered it and just listened for a minute.
