Genevieve

I was back at the bedroom and all I could do was just sit down and think.

While thinking, I suddenly felt my stomach make dying whale noises, I placed my hand over my stomach and groaned, "How am I supposed to even get food if the door is locked?" I sighed and laid on the bed. I stared at the plain lime green ceiling then I heard a knock on the door.

I can't take it anymore, I need food!

I shot back up and stood up from the bed and walked to the door, I slowly knocked and patiently waited for someone to open it up. It was taking too long then I knocked again, nothing. I sighed then sprawled myself on the bed, I felt myself drifting into slumber.

I was walking home from school, everything was normal,peaceful and quiet, nothing seems wrong. I happily skipped the sidewalks and then I saw my house and ran. I was happy to be home, to spend time with family. Just as I was about to turn the knob, I heard a bloodcurling scream. Confusion and fright went all along my veins, I bursted the door open to see that the living room was messed up, just like a hurricane formed in the middle of the room. I sprinted upstairs to find my father and brother. I checked every room except one, The master bedroom. I ran to the master bedroom and just in time as I arrived, A gunshot echoed in the whole house. Cold liquid went across my face, I moved my fingers up to it - blood. My mouth fell agape and I fell to my knees as I look at the lifeless forms of my father and brother.

"NO!" I screamed and shot back up, I was breathing heavily, The sounds of my sobs echoed the room, tears trickling one by one each sob. 

I hugged my knees and continued to cry. That was horrible! Will that happen if I ever disobey them? I don't want this, Even from the start.

A few minutes later my sobs were becoming quieter and I finally composed myself.

I was still breathing heavily but not as bad awhile ago.

What did I even do to place my family in this kind of danger?

I'm like a pineapple,

I'm not pine at all.
