I stirred in my bed as the sunlight danced over my face, trying to get me out of bed. Since when was nature an alarm. I stuffed my face in my pillow when I whipped up in shock. This isn’t my bed! Whose bed am I in? I felt dizzy when I started to remember what happened last night. I tried to get up but a tight hold on my waist prevented me from even budging my leg. My eyes widened in panic when I saw who was holding me and I began to thrash around and scream. I'm sure as hell that my loud screams burst his eardrums as he jolted awake, his face void of emotions and unreadable. He was- he was the one who murdered the man in the hallway: and he's sleeping next to me!? I’m in a bed with a murderer! What the hell? How can he sleep so peacefully after killing someone? Dang it, why am I here in the first place?
"Get the fuck off of me you sick bastard, how dare you touch me!" I screamed even louder, frantically flapping my hands around to loosen his grip on my waist but he caught my hand.
"Calm down I didn't touch you; you were-" I cut him off by slapping him across his face and that's when his pupils dilated and filled up with fury. Stupid, stupid Abrielle. Great, you just made a psycho-murder angry. Goodbye sky, goodbye sun, goodbye hand… I shook my head to snap out of my thoughts when he slammed me to the headboard violently. My head throbbed in pain from the whiplash, so I squeezed my eyes shut tight to let the pain subside.
"Listen here Princess, nobody ever dares to speak to me like that. You better watch your tone or I will shoot you like the man in the hallway. Do you understand mi amore," he whisper-shouted in a husky tone.

Gunshots
Ringing
Blood
Lifeless bodies
DeathI inhaled sharply and the memories of my parent’s stiff and cold bodies flooded my head. Tears began to roll down my face like rain streaming down a window. A stray tear bounced onto my lip and the salty taste of my agonising pain ripped me away from my thoughts. A painful lump formed in my throat and I tried to fight back my tears but they kept strolling down my cheeks. I was drowning slowly in my sorrows, when I felt a large hand wiping my tears away gently. I looked up with glassy eyes and snapped out of my shock.
"Then shoot me; free from this agonising pain. Actually, you won't be hurting me, you’ll be doing me a huge favour," I snarkily spat at him. He was caught off guard by my words, so he dropped my wrist and left the room leaving me bewildered. A few minutes later, two young girls entered, looking around the same age as me. One of the girls was remarkably tall with shoulder-length black hair and turquoise eyes. The other other girl was her polar opposite with dark, conker brown hair and glossy brown eyes.
