I was walking down our cold, wooden stairs going to the bathroom I was almost at the bottom when I heard them. My mom, step-dad, and my father. My father was yelling at them that they are going to die, then I heard a gunshot and I ran down the stairs to see my father holding a gun and my step-dad by my mother who was bleeding out quickly they all looked at me and I ran to my mother to see her. "Mommy are you okay", I said, my mother looked at me and said, "I love you so much sweetie but its time for me to leave you don't worry Dante will take good care of you" and with that she died and I cryed. Dante stood up and ran at my father but my father was so fast he ran out the house before Dante could catch him. Dante then called the police who were at our house in less than 2 minutes. Before I knew it I was surrounded by police and they took my mother away in a black bag. I kicked the people who took her and told them to bring her back but they wouldn't listen to me. I was questioned by the police but I couldn't answer their questions about what had happened it was still confusing to me and I had lots of questions to. Dante told the police I was in no state to answer questions I had just seen my mother die and my father kill her. Dante then took me upstairs and put me to bed but we both knew that I would not be getting any more sleep I tossed and turned all night. The next morning I got up and went downstairs to get breakfast but I couldn't eat it in the kitchen without thinking about my mother so Dante let me eat it in my room but I still couldn't eat there was a lump in my throat preventing me from swallowing my food. I brought my bowl back down untouched and then went right in my room and cried for hours until I couldn't anymore. I suddenly felt very tired and I driffed off to sleep. I was woken up by Dante telling me that it was supper time. I procrastinated for like ten minutes before getting up. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen then I stopped in the middle of the floor because I had seen something I did not like. I had seen my father at first I was scared but then I was full of anger. I looked him in the eyes and said,"get the fuck out of my house and never come back I only have hate for you and your lucky that I haven't called the cops yet so leave before I change my mind"." If that's what you want but first I have something for you" he pulled out a ring and a note and gave it to me then walked out without a word. I unfolded the note and it said, 
 My dear daughter I have asked your father to give you this ring the day after I die. This ring was passed down through the generations of family and now I am giving it to you it was suppost to be given to you on your 18th birthday but sadly that did not happen I just want you to know that I love you so much and I hope you do wonderful things
                              Love Mother.

 Then next day I woke up on my own and looked at the clock on my dresser it said 8:03am. I decided to get up and go for a run I left Dante a note telling him where I was going grabbed my phone put some sweats on and headed out of the house I was running for about 20 minutes when I felt like I was being watched. I stopped and looked around nothing so I just shrugged it off and continued running after 5 minutes I was sure someone was watching me so I ran even faster but it wasn't enough I was grabbed and dragged into an alley and there were 3 men two of them I didn't know but the middle one I knew all to well."Hello Emily",he said "hello father",I spat back. I was getting sick of being in his presence already "what do you want",I said, he looked at me and said,"I want you and that Dante man dead" I then started to go crazy screaming for help but the two guys shoved a handkerchief in my mouth to shut me up then they picked me up and brought me to a truck with tinted windows they opened the door and put me in then they got in. We drove for about 10 minutes before I fell asleep. When I woke up we were stopped in front of a house that I recognized immediately it was the house I grew up in. Tears began to well up in my eyes and before I knew it they were falling my father seen me crying and he picked me up and carried me inside the house. I looked at him and asked,"why are you being so nice if you are going to kill me" and his response warmed my heart,"because I am not going to hurt you as long as you behave" I looked at him and said," why did you kill mommy" he explained to me that my mother told him that she was going to kill all of us and when I didn't believe him he showed me the messages and I looked at him and said," I am so sorry" then I fell asleep in his arms. I woke up and I was still in my fathers arms. I got up and went to the bathroom did my business and washed my hands. I walked out of the bathroom only to run into a chest. I looked up and seen my father and he looked very mad "why didn't you tell me you were getting up", he said. I looked at him and said," because you were asleep and I didn't want to bother you". His eyes softened then he pulled me into a hug and said," next time wake me so I know where you are".
