"Mum, Dad stop it! What is it? I hate surprises!" I exclaim from behind the blindfold. They continue leading me through our house with me totally oblivious to what they we're surprise Me with.
"Wait darling, have patience" mum says her voice like an angels.
They stop suddenly and then start rushing me, making me run and stumble on every footstep.
"Why are we running?" I ask laughter in my voice, I hear their breathing speed up. They don't answer. "Mum, Dad!" I say getting scared.
"Sweetie be quiet" Dad says still making me run. We stop again and then they usher me into a tight corner taking off my blindfold.
"No matter what happens" mum says out of breath "stay put and don't say a word."
"We love you honey" Dad says and I can see tears pool up in their eyes.
"What's going on?" I whisper starting to let the tears go down my face, mum wipes them off.
"You will learn in time" mum says and they both stand up and walk to the centre of the room.
I sit in a corner in the tight walk in robe and watch as they ready themselves for something.
Four men in black then walk into the room holding guns and knives and other weapons. I watch as my mother and father get down on their hands and knees, their heads hung low and their hands in front of them. The four men circle around them and I hear my breathing rapidly speed up. I know what's coming.
"Any last words" one of the men say as he raises his gun to the back of my dads head.
"No" he replies through gritted teeth.
And then the gun shots. A little scream tears from my lips and I cover my mouth straight away. They look around to see where the scream came from but then soon thought that it was my mothers screams.
"If only you had given her to us and this wouldn't be happening" another guy says, the one with the gun pressed to my mothers temple.
"You will never find her" she says tears falling down her face. She hides all emotions besides from those tears.
"Oh yes we will" he says and I watch as mum looks up at him with the purest of hatred.
And then I hear the gun shot that ends her life.
I feel like everything around me crumples and I'm left with loneliness. Tears fall more violently down my face and I give into the urge to full out cry.
My mother and father just died in front of me.
Those men just killed them with no intention to let them live.
The men clear out muttering few words.
Luckily they didn't find me in the closet. Once I'm sure their gone I sprint to my room down the hall to my phone, which I call triple zero on.
They pick up on the third ring.
"Hello how can I help you?" Somebody says into the speaker. I had never had to call them before. My heart is now racing the tears have stopped. A burst of adrenaline surges through me.
"There has been an incident".
***
In minutes the police, ambulance and fire department were here. They put the yellow tape around the house signifying that it was a crime scene. They made me pack my bags and move out while they continued further investigation. I was questioned before I was to leave and stay with my auntie who lives 4 blocks away.
"What time did the people come to your house?" the police officer asks.
"I-I'm not sure, I think it was about 9:30pm" I reply.
"How many people were there?"
"There were 4 people"
"And did they all have weapons?"
"I'm pretty sure they did"
"Okay, its late so we will resume questioning tomorrow, but first I just need some personal details." Another officer says grabbing his clipboard. "What is your name?"
"Katerina Ashner"
"How old are you Katerina?"
"16 years old"
"Do you have any siblings?"
"No" I answer hanging my head low. They must have realised that I wanted to stop talking about it.
"Okay that's enough, thank you for your time and goodnight" the first police officer says, shaking my hand and walking off.

Teen Fiction"Why me? Why is it always me?" I keep mumbling to myself as I keep curled in a tight ball in the corner. "Because your special" a voice from the shadows says keeping their identity hidden in the darkness. Everyone always thought Katerina had it easy...
