I ran to the shared room and hid under the bed. I put my hands over my mouth, quieting my breathing. I didnt want whoever it was to find me.

I heard the door to the bedroom swing open and the creak of the floor. I stayed absolutely still and tried not to breathe. Their feet passed by my hiding spot and walked around the room. They disappeared on the other side of me, but I hoped they wouldn't find me.
I lost track of where they went. I searched on my right and left but didnt see the feet.

'Maybe my chance to run.'

I crawled out from under the bed and was about to Sprint to base, but I felt someone tug on my sweat shirt. I turned around and saw Danny sitting on the bed. "I knew you where under there! Now you gotta count." He said. I groaned and dusted off my pants as I walked into the hallway. I went into the living room/dining room and saw everyone sitting on the couch. I watched as Philip crawled out from under the dining room table. "Is the game over?" He asked.

I nodded."I'm counting." I said nonchantly. He nodded and ran pass me to go hide. I turned around, closed my eyes, and started counting.

'1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...'

I continued counting til I got to 20. This is how everyday is for me. Ever since I got dropped off here I am forced to play with the twins because the older kids don't want to and since the twins are messy, I usually clean the room since no one else wants to. If I refused the twins would be brats and tell Anne then she would scold me for no reason.

Annie is also totally opposite of what she acted like when I first met her. Shes rude, lazy, and plain annoying. She makes us clean the house while shes on the couch watching old shows. When shes not doing that shes outside flirting with the clerk across the street. She usually take up to 35 minutes and during that time I sneak up to the roof and relax-

"Rayne! Are you playing or not?" In came Danny along with Philip. They both looked annoyed. "Sorry." I said lowly. Danny rolled his eyes and went back to hiding with Philip. I turned around, recounted to 20, and went and looked for them.

I went to the boys sleeping area first, cause they always hide in there. I looked around and listened for any giggling or heavy breathing. I ran around the room checking under beds, in the closet, and anywhere they could hide. Once I was done I turned on my heels and went towards the bathroom.
It was closed so I kindly knocked. "Occupied!" Mandy yelled from behind the door. I sighed and moved back into the main room. There I saw Dan and Philip sitting on the couch watching cartoons. I walked up to them and sat down. "I thought we were playing?" I said lowly. Philip shrugged and Danny waved me off as he stared at the tv screen.

"Hay guys I'm leaving for a few so don't leave the house and don't open the door for strangers cause I ain't lookin for ya." Anne said as she walked to the door and grabbing her purse off the dining table. "Cookies and snacks in the cabinet. Eat til your teeth rot, I dont care..." she said trailing off as she closed the door. As soon as the door closed and locked Danny and Philip shared a glance and went wild.

They jumped over the couch and started raiding the cabinets. Pulling out Debbie cakes, snowballs, jelly beans, Oreos, and etc.

Mary and James both got up and left. Mary got abook from the small book shelf and went into the girls room and James pulled out his smart phone and went outside, probably to talk to one of his friends.

In came my cue to leave, also. Whenever the twins get hyper they get destructive and crazy. I went into the boys room and to the window. I flicked the latch and climbed onto the fire escape. I scrunched my noise as the gross polluted air filled my nostrils. I climbed up the stairs and onto the roof. Being careful I sat on a safe spot on the roof.
I relaxed into my spot and looked over the small neighborhood. There wasn't much to this area. There were a few old and vandalized homes around with graffiti and broken windows. There was also small town houses next to the homes with as much graffiti. The twins told me that gang memebers and drug dealers lived in the houses which terrified me. At first I thought they did that to scare me but my first night here I heard gun shots and screeching of a car.
But looking at the messed up neighborhoods and smelling the polluted air isn't why I come up here. I come up here to look at the sky and to think.

It clears my mind, looking at the red and orange painted sky and feeling the breeze. I shuttered as the wind flew by.

It was late December so of course it would be really cold here in Detroit.

From where I was sitting I could see Anne standing in front of the corner store, flirting with the clerk, and smoking a cigarette. She rocked side to side audibly laughing at whatever he said. I rolled my eyes and stood from my spot. The sky was already turning dark purple and the wind picking up, if I stayed any longer I'd get sick.
I climbed the fire escape and back into the window, closing it.

I check into the bathroom in the hall and saw no one in it. I gathered some clothes and took a quick shower.

Once I was out I crawled into my bed and stared at the wall. The clock on the night stand flashed 8:43. I rolled on my side falling asleep, listening to the twins scream and play in the other room.

~~~~~~~~~
I felt somebody shake my shoulders. I groaned and tried to sheew them away but they continuously shook me. I opened my eyes and they widened. I opened my mouth to scream, but the person put their hand over it. They're grip on my shoulders where tight so I couldn't run. I looked around and saw Danny and Philip in their bunks sound asleep and James was in his bed also asleep. I looked at the time and it was 11:23.

I looked at the person in the eyes and they stared right back. It was hard to see because it was completely dark other than the moon shining through the window. The person had a hood over their
head, but it was hard to mistake the long dark hair hanging over the persons face. Female.

The person slowly,  but cautiously removed their hands from me and backed up a bit for me to sit up. The intruder put their finger up to their lips and made the sshhh sound. They walked over to a corner of the room where somehow my navy blue rucksack sat fully loaded.
They picked it up and tossed it over their shoulder.
They walked back toward me and as they crossed the window i got a glimpse of their face.

"Rose." I whispered.

I turned my head towards James and squinted my eyes. Now that I thought about it james would've been snoring his head off by now...

I looked closer and saw on the Side of the bed from under the dovet a dark liquid poured out onto the floor.
In the twins bunk beds at the top, another liquid poured out and dripped on the floor, mixing with Philips.
I nearly gagged. I looked back at Rose and saw her watching me.

'Was she coming to kill me next?' I thought as she descended closer. My heart started to speed up. I backed up in my bed til my back hit the headboard. Now that she was closer I could smell and clearly see the blood on her black hoodie and jeans.
She stood directly in front of me and moved her face closer studying my facial features. I squeezed my eyes shut ready to feel pain.

I flinched as she gently touched my shoulder. "Lets go." She whispered in my ear and walked off, setting the rucksack in my lap.
