Fear.

That is what I have been living in my entire life ever since the day my father was murdered right in front of my very own eyes. I have had been on the run, scared that he, my father's killer, may find me and kill me too.

It is hard to realize that 10 years ago, I was sitting in the back of a cop car watching my dad take his last breath.

I remember my father pulling over and telling me, "Whatever happens princess, stay in the car. And always remember that I love you, Ronnie,"

As he closes the door and walks away from the car, I peek through the little window in the backseat to see my dad approaching two scary looking men. They were a little over 6'6 with huge muscles that you would think they lived in a gym, and wore really dark clothes that they almost blended into the night.

As my dad reached them, there was a sound of arguing. Their hands were flailing around in every direction as if trying to prove a point. Then at one point one of the men, who looked like the leader of the two, pulled out a gun and pointed it at my dad's head.

Suddenly as quick as lightning, the man pulled the trigger

Suddenly as quick as lightning, the man pulled the trigger. My dad dropped to the ground as I let out a blood curling scream. Both men snapped their heads in the direction of the cop car where I was. They were about to come for me but  they heard sirens in the background and thought against it.

Suddenly it was like they disappeared in thin air but before they did, the man who killed my father looked back at the car and mouthed, "I'm coming for you next."

Now at age 17, I'm still on the run with a new name, a new identity and a new town where I know absolutely no one except my best friends Madeline and Ethan who stuck with me through everything and protect me from all the dangers around me.

As I see the sign, Welcome to the town of Corolla, North Carolina, I know that I'll never be that scared little girl again.
