*****************************

I stumble away from John, who is calling my name. All I can see is my foster mom's body. The died red hair, the blue contacts, that resemble my mom's eyes, the position of her body. I have to face facts, this is no longer a coincidence. These murders are exactly like my mom's in every way. The worst part of all of this is today is the anniversary of my mothers death, my birthday. Ever since that night I never celebrated my birthday. Now it's just a reminder of what happened and how I didn't do anything besides side in the shadows, not making a noise.

I walk to some trees, knowing Johns right behind me. I slide down the tree and put my head in my hands. 'God everything is so messed up.'

I hear rapid footsteps but don't look up, already knowing who I'll see.

"What the hell, Amber? What's going on?" He asks looking down at me.

"Remember when I said I had a foster mom?" I ask still taking deep breathes so I don't have a panic attack.

"Yeah, you said she was a real bitch. What about it?"

I take another deep breath to calm my nerves and lift my head up. "That's her. That's my foster mom laying out there dead with died hair and contacts." I raise my voice without meaning to.

The look of realization over comes his confused expression.

"What?" he breathes out. "We have to tell the Cap'n. These guys are targeting you. These guys might come after you."

"I know." I lean my head on my forearms that are resting on my knees.

Suddenly, all the horrid things Selena did to all the foster kids in her house, comes crashing down. I abruptly stand up.

"We have to go to her house." I start walking to his car but he grabs my arm.

"Are you kidding? We have to talk to the captain." He yells grabbing my arm. I shake my head.

"No, Selena Porter has many kids at her house that we have to go get. They could be in danger." I say quietly.

He studies me for a minute and he must have seen the desperation in my face. "Alright, let's go put we still have to talk to the cap'n, you could be in danger.”

I nod my head and we walk to the SUV.

After I give him the address, for the house I'm sure she never moved out of, we are on our way. I start to think of all the things that happened while in the House of Hell.

Flashback

"You stupid, worthless garbage. No wonder your parents didn't want you." This is what it's was like everyday. I watched from the top of the stairs while Macy gets slapped again I want to intervene but I was to scared. Selena was ruthless and vile, she always got angry at us for the most innocent things. Today, eight year old Macy was caught helping Dustin out of the basement.

There were 5 other children live here with me: Macy, Dustin, Claire, Ariel, and the youngest Katie. I was the oldest they pretty much all looked up to me but I don't know what to do. I wish I was stronger but I'm only 14, what can I do?
