I took a nap on the couch and I awoke to the sound of the door nob to the entrance turning. I figured it was my mom but she has keys, why does she keep turning the nob? I get up and put my ear on the door.

"Did you open it yet?" I hear someone whisper on the other side.

"No, shut the hell up. There can be people on the other side!" Another whispers.

"Well hurry the hell up, I just wanna take the stuff and go."

"I've almost got it"

I pull back from the door. Oh no. I'm getting robbed, holy shit is this really happening? Holy crap, where's Peter? Oh yeah he's in his room!

I run straight to his door and knock quietly. Its better the crooks don't know we're here, I don't want them to hurt me.

"Peter!" I whisper, "They're trying to rob the house!"

"Shut the hell up, Luke! I'm trying to sleep!" He yells as loud as he can.

"What was that?" One of the crooks says behind the door. " I think there's people in there."

"Don't matter, " the other one says "We'll take care of them. We need the money."

All of a sudden I hear a click and the sound of  a lock opening. Oh no, they're in. I run into the kitchen and hide behind our old broken down brown counter.  I peek up and I see two guys with guns wearing masks. One guy is pretty short,  almost my height and the other is just a bit taller. They both have black masks covering their faces.

"You take the t.v." says the tall one "Ill look in the kitchen"

My hands are shaking and I'm sweating.  They're going to kill me if they find me. I have to try and avoid them.

As the tall guys gets nearer I try to creep around the counter so I can run to my room, which is next to the kitchen.

"These guys don't have shit, man" Says the short one.

"They must have something. Look for a safe" responds the taller one.

As poor as we are, my mom does have a safe. But its hidden in her room, she won't tell anyone where its at becuase she doesn't trust us.

The thief is getting closer and closer as I try to sneek around. I'm getting closer and closer to the room. If I can get there maybe I can get my phone and call the cops. Just then I slam into the teash and it falls making a big BOOM!

"What was that!?" one says.

"There's someone here! Get him!" says the other.

They both run towards me and I ran to my room but the tall guy tackles me to the ground just before I get there. I grab his mask and push him off. I manage to take the mask off as well. I see the robbers face as he tries to retrieve his mask. He has an ugly face with a long scar across his cheek. The smaller one walks towards me.

" You shouldn't have done that, kid." He reaches towards his gun " I really didn't want to hurt anyone. But now you've seen my partners face, so you've gotta go."

He pulls out his gun and aims it towards me.

"It's too bad" He says "You could've done something with your life."  He puts his finger on the trigger.

"Wait, wait!" I say, "Don't! I didn't see anything! I didn't-"

BAM BAM BAM

He fires. I see red. I'm dizzy.....Everything goes black..
