  Emily had a terrible feeling about today, October 31, 2003. It's Halloween, some people around her neighborhood tend to get a bit crazy on Halloween.

Emily was with her brother and cousins in the living room. For the first time since she was born, the whole family was together.

"EVERYONE, WE HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!" yelled Emily's mother. Everyone silenced eager to find out what the announcement was about.

"We....ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!" her parents announced. Everyone cheered and congratulated them. Suddenly, a crash was heard. The door had been broken down. Someone with a gun entered the house, a sinister smirk plastered onto their face,

"You're not happy anymore, right? Good," the mysterious person said. Everyone was frozen in place, too scared to move a muscle, fearing their life. Emily watched in horror as she saw the man take every single member of her family to the basement. She looked around for a phone to call the police, just because she's 6 doesn't mean she doesn't know when to call the police.

***

Everyone, including Emily, were in the basement tied up to chairs. Emily looked at her brother desperate for comfort, he wouldn't look at her back, nobody would. Emily was really confused on why no one would look at her.

The man came back and looked around to see if anyone had escaped. One had, they knew what would happen if they did.

"Emily, Emily, Emily, hopeless little Emily," the man smirked.

"What do you want, and how do you know my name?" Emily asked, even more confused than before.

"Well you see, you are very special to this family of yours, don't ask me why because I do not know. I happen to despise your family for reasons unknown, so imma' kill em',"the man spoke with no emotion in his voice whatsoever.

Emily was forced to watch as every single person she loved die. Tears streamed down her face, begging for the man to stop.

"Emily, remember this, never forget what I am about to say," said Emily's father. Emily was sobbing, she didn't want for her father to die, he was the only one alive at the time.

"No, no, no! Don't leave me, please don't leave me!" Emily cried out.

"Ugh, this is so stupid, you'll see him in hell, calm down child," the man spoke, clearly annoyed. Emily's dad ignored the comment and continued,

"I'm not going to leave you, I'll be by your side forever okay?" He said, Emily could only nod, loss of words.

"Now remember that-" he was cut off by the man once again.

"Ugh, blah blah blah, this is boring, you're gonna die now," he smiled. The man grabbed a knife out of his pocket and slowly started to kill Emily's father.

All that was heard that day were cries of pain, physically and mentally.

Nobody ever found out what her father was going to say, except for himself of course. Oh, and the baby? It died along with her mother, it wasn't even born yet.

Now Emily was left alone, not knowing what her dad was going to say, how her sibling would've looked like, why nobody would look at her, or why the man hated her family.
