Why now?

Chapter 1: The murder

As this was happening, I am underneath my bed, hiding, scared for my life. This has never happened before, and why would it? What is happening right now shouldn't ever happen to anyone. If you're wondering what is going on, let me explain. My name is Lyddia, I'm 14 years old, I live in a small town in Oklahoma. And, well my family is being murdered. We we're all eating dinner and then a knock came at the door and my father, went and opened the door, Admendently he fell onto the ground with a gunshot wound to the head. Everyone else was too scrared to leave the table. But, scared for my life, I took off into my room and rid underneath my bed. Hearing the screams of the rest of my family coming from the kitchen table. I was breathing very heavily, and then I hear someone open the door to my room. "I saw you run, so why are you still hiding? I'll find you either way." That, sent a shiver down my spine. I was never scared more than then. I stayed down until the police came. I heard another gunshot and the man that just murdered my family was on the ground. Dead. I hear the police in the background, but can't make out what they're saying. When I couldn't hear anything I came from out of underneath my bed. It was a slaughter. there was no bodies to be found, but blood everywhere. As I walked to the front of the house, I see Caution tape at the front door. I stand right in front of it. A Police man see's me and asks what am I doing in there. I look at him and said, "Where's my family?" With tears down my face. The face expression of the officer slowly dies into worry. "Is there any others in there left?" I slowly shake my head no. He sighs and speaks into his Mic, "We have one member left of the Humble house..." I couldn't hear or see anything after that. I blacked out. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. I could hardly believe what just happened the day, or night before. After a while a doctor, and the same officer came in. The doctor said I have a few head injuries but other then that I'll be fine. He walked out and the officer introduced himself. "I'm officer Mitchell. You must be Lyddia?" I nodded in agreement. "Well, Lyddia we are going to keep you here in the hospital for a few days then take you to a foster home. You'll have the choice to live there or not. If you don't want to live there then we'll find you a place to stay at." He said handing me a file. "This is your foster family for right now. We tried looking for other family of yours but we can't seem to find any, where is the rest of your family?" I look up at him and say quietly, "My mother's side disowned us because of my father. My Father ran away to be with my mother and had his family removed from his name." Officer Mitchell looked concerned. "Was your parents forbid to be with one another?" "Kinda." I replied. He started walking to the door. "Well, I know this is a lot to take in all at once. If you need anything call the number in the file. Its my number. Also, We'll have to ask you a few questions about your family. I'm very sorry this had happened to you. Have a good night Lyddia."
