It all started on December 19, 2005. She was in the den sitting by the fire reading a book when she heard a cry from the kitchen upstairs where her mother was. As Brooklyn raced upstairs, the worst case scenario ran through her mind but what she witnessed was even more gruesome then what she thought. Her mothers almost lifeless body lied on the kitchen floor. A knife still in her stomach. She lie in a pool of her own blood. Her mother saw her standing there in utter shock and told her "Brooklyn, I love you but I wont be able to pull through. I' m sorry he did this." And then her mother went limp.
She lie there in a daze for about an hour before calling the police. They asked her if she needed a place to stay but she told them no. She went to stay with her best friend, Nicole. Nicole's parents took her in till the end of the school year. Then Brooklyn moved from her small town of Red Bank, New Jersey to the big city, NYC. After her move, Brooklyn had some things to figure out. Who was the he her mother referred to when she was dying and why had he killed her mother? Two things were for sure. Brooklyn was going to avenge her mothers death and she was heading on a downward spiral of drugs and cutting herself.
