Lillian

Chapter 2

20 minutes. 21 minutes. We have been locked in my mother's bedroom for 21 minutes, because someone is throwing knives to kill us or to kill someone else. As I glide my ear across the door I hear more slamming of knives.

"Lilly, who's out there?" Audrey asks.

"I don't know", I reply to her "but we will find out soon!" As I yell at the top of my lungs. I open up the nightstand with dads old gun from the army still kept inside and run after the knife noise. No one is going to rob my house, no one is going to kill anyone in my house, and no one will take Audrey away from me in my house. As I enter the door where the noise is coming from all I do is shoot and see a boy fall to the ground dropping his knives. I see his face. It's Gabriel, my brother who was throwing the knives into a big dartboard with our leader, Ms. Amy Thatcher's face on it.

"Lilly! Why did you just shoot me?" Gabe asks and screams at the same time.

"I thought you were an intruder! At least Audrey and I did! Can I help you?" I ask as tears are staring to fall out onto the floor.

"Call mom!" Gabe screams as I grab the phone and call the Hospital for mom and an ambulance.
