Cold in the snow

Chapter 1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we go, the start of a new year and a new year means new life and new expectations, and this year, I plan to make my life perfect, no doubt it's going to be amazing. It's not that this year wasn't perfect, it's just that every single year, I plan to make my life even more perfect, (and yes I know I'm weird like that!) but it's true. But it would be even more perfect if my dad were here, not that he is dead or anything but he's always off somewhere, I don't know what he is doing or what he is planning, boy just thinking about him makes me wanna pop. "Attention everyone!" Said mom as she held up her cup to make a toast as because it's a start of a new year and it's a tradition to do these stuff here in my family. "I would like to make a toast as it's the start of a new year!" Everyone began to raise their glass and started making a toast. "I toast to being successful!" My Aunt shouted. She was always the prefect one or at least she tried to make everyone think that she was perfect. "I toast to having great parties!" My brother was always the fun one, he was a slacker when it's come to work or college or anything, but parties, He definitely know how to throw one. "I toast to family and friends!" Said Uncle Henry. Finally after lots of people boomed out their toast, (I giggled at the very thought of my sentence) it was my turn and as usual, I knew exactly what to say. "I toast to making this new year perfect!" Then we all drank. I was definitely full after we all ate a huge meal, so I was ready to fall in bed when someone touched my shoulder. It was my Dad, I just want to strangle him right now! "DAD?! Where the Heck were you?" I screamed, not caring if people were staring at us or not. I was really mad at him because he knew that this family New Years tradition was important to me and it would be sad to see him not there on a day that matters most to me, come to think of it, he wasn't even here last year or the year before that! Heck, he wasn't even here for my birthday for that matter! "I...i'm s..sorry that I wasn't here honey, I..I was busy." He stammered. "OH, don't honey me, you never be here on days that matter most! You are always off somewhere and I know that, that somewhere is not work!" "Look Hon, I.." I ran to my room before he could even say a word. I jumped on my bed and tried to fall asleep but I couldn't especially since my heart almost exploded. I decided to go for a walk even though it was dark. I grabbed my jacket and headed out the door until I heard someone scream. "HELP!!" Oh my god! That sounded like my mum! I ran like the wind through the cold snow until I saw it, my mum laid there in the cold night, Out cold.

I could not belive! What happened? "MOM?!" I screamed. I sat in the snow crying. I just lost my mom. The start of a new year and I already lost my mom. "Oh Darling, she was literally a threat" I turned around to see who was speaking. A man would dark tousled hair, l couldn't see who it was because whoever it was, was wearing a mask behind his face. "Why would you do this... you..!" Before I could finish he held up a knife, raising it to my neck. That's it., this would be the end... But I had an idea. I yanked the sword off my neck and ran as fast as I could. I went inside and grabbed the knife off of my kitchen drawer. If you can't beat em, join em. "You over there, I wanna join your team"
