I jumped in fear when the door bust open 

“ Stop barging inside my room Carl”i yelled at my brother angrily 

“Uncle Dante is here” he yelled back and I rushed into the bathroom to freshen up

Uncle Dante was my favorite because he was always around whenever my father would go long trips,He call me his favorite too and have secretly been teaching her how to shoot,I know my father won’t be happy when he hears that ,its me and Dante’s secret and I don’t intend on telling anyone else he said his going to stop if i tell. 

After i freshened up,I quickly rushed downstairs 

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY “ Everyone yelled and my jaw dropped 

I turned to my Father and saw him holding a huge gift box and my mom was holding a huge pink princess cake ,i hated pink but I’m

A cold night

blood was on the floor and it covered you carl was now stepping on it, tears ran down his cheek as he watched his sister shake his parents to wake up.

Her voice resounded in his head as he woke up to the screams of his alarm.

He was covered in sweat and he looked to the side it was just 3 am, great he said yo himself "I have to lie here and wait for sunrise,

He dropped from his bed and went to use the bathroom,

As he did he thought of his sister how she had struggled with it, he was also struggling but he had an edge over her he could hide it.

He did not like making his uncle feel he was doing a bad job.

He walked back to his bed and lay down he looked at Hendrix who was fast asleep and on the other side Ethan was sleeping too with little regard for where he was as he lay sprawled on his bed.

He turned and faced the wall now, he traveled but still, the nightmares had journeyed with him, he thought he would feel better being in a new space and interacting with new people.

As he was thinking of the night six years ago

He remembered he saw someone look at them through the window and then ran away.

He tried to picture the face properly now but it was blurry all he could remember was the watch on his wrist.

It was a gold-plated wristwatch or it looked like one.

He knew it would be hard to catch the killer and even if he did how much peace would their conviction give him.

He wanted to forget it all but he could not,

It is ingrained in his memory and it haunts him every night of his life,

He remembers the day well ambers birthday and how the whole family had danced their feet off before their joy was ripped away into the cold hands of destiny later that night.

First, he was going to survive this school and go back to New York, where he would find the killer, he needed to at least get answers before he put a bullet through his chest.

He turned and look at the alarm now it was almost 4 am, his eyes were feeling a bit heavy

He needs his sleep but his troubled mind says otherwise he knows he is going to regret this but he has no option but to wait for nature to take action,

He turns slowly and looks at the figure calling his name oh shit he says as he jumps from the bed,

He rushed to the bathroom which was locked Hendrix was inside and he locked the door,

Carl remembered there was a general bathroom in the dorm so he rushed to the bathroom and found an empty shower immediately hung his towel by the door and put the shower on.

Today was going to be a long day as he was still sleepy.

He washed and went back to the room, Hendrix was out and as he looked at him he saw that he had a grin on his face

He stayed there intentionally he reckoned, he went in now and brushed his teeth,

After which he got dressed and left for class.

His first-class for the day was chemistry, he just has to find his way to the class.
