"They found another body down by the river again, last night." My mother speaks, clearing the awkward silence. It felt like a punch to the gut as those words left her mouth. "How old?" I whisper softly, without looking at her. My eyes looking straight ahead of me at the television, the story of the second murder two nights ago was on. "Seven. A little boy again." I took a sharp breath in. The tears formed in my eyes again, for the third night in a row. Another innocent boy was now dead. I watched as the little boy's parents mourned over their child on national tv. I saw this one last night, tonight will be the other boy, that my mother had just informed me about. I couldn't take it anymore, so I pressed my thumb on the power button, shutting of the TV. Though, the cries of the parents still haunted my thoughts. "I'm going upstairs," I say to my mother, without looking back. My head spun at the information I was given. That was the third boy this week, and there was someone still out there, ready to attack again, at any second. I tip-toed up the stairs silently, and jogged down the vast hallway, to my little brother's room. My feet lead me inside the doorway and I watched his innocent face as he slept. He was snoring little, mouth partly opened. I pressed my lips to his forhead softly whispering, "I love you," before turning away. A single tear leaked out of my eye, and I thought about what would happen if I had ever lost him. A heavy feeling inside my stomach stirred and I felt sick. I feared for my little brother's life, and I'll sacrifice anything, to keep him safe.

I don't know how long I stayed there, kneeling to the ground and staring at my parents' corpses. Their blood stained most of my body as I rubbed my face trying to get it off. I furrow my eyebrows as I notice the drops of blood on the ground, not knowing if those were from my tears or injuries. The others have managed to distract them enough from hurting me, but I can't seem to get up and leave my parents alone. I hiccup as I look over to where the monsters that killed my parents are standing. My heart drops and my eyes widen as I see a familiar little girl with strawberry blonde hair being restrained. "W-What are you doing?!". I feel the panic settle in again. "LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE!". I whisper a 'no' as someone holds me back and I cry out as I feel the pain shoot up my arm from the strong hold. I try to see through my tears but can't tell who the guy is. I look over to my sister and notice they were holding another boy with us. The guard behind me sighs, and goosebumps run over my arms as he takes me over to what seems their leader before they start whispering. They both nod to each other before they start approaching us. The last thing I remember was the boy yelling "NO!" before darkness took me out.
