"Haha! We made it!" I screamed, only one yell in the croud of thousands.

Unlike many, our university always has the Commencement ceremonies inside. I was allowed to watch my brother's and sister's ceremonies, and was told of my mother's (we all went to the same college), so I'm quite sure of my claim.

We were all a year apart from each other, Ayden (my brother) being oldest, Zara (My sister, if it wasn't obvious) in the middle, and me, Ebony (A name I don't use, I'm called Red) being youngest. My mother is known by Stream (Real name being Enya. The irony, eh?), Ayden we call Dannie, and Zeze is a name we call Zara.

We all have our downsides (like our mother has anxiety, Ze's fear of the dark makes most campfires/marshmellow roasting impossible, I'm too logical for my own good, and Ayden is slow, has a bad aim, and can't is hard to hide), and we all have our perks (Like this one, Mom gave my siblings and herself some.. gray thing on their arms they call "PIP Boys", they say I'll get mine after graduation).

We all make a good team, and I had a life. I did. I was going on to be a vet! I was always good with all types of animals. Dan was going on to be a world-known surgen. Zeze was a good dentist. Our mother taught us more about our jobs than school could. We were a close family, all living in the same neighborhood, only a few houses from each other.

Going back to reality, I screamed happily again. I ran towards my family. Mom tackled me with a hug, and my siblings laughed at my torture. Mom let go and I gave them an annoyed smile.

"You did it, Red!" Dannie said.

"Good job! We can rule the medical industries someday!" Zeze said sarcasticly.

"The Crowns are already known world-wide!" I said, poitning towards Dan and my mother. They both nodded. ...Then I was shoved down by on-coming gradutates.

Before we were allowed to leave, the principal would calm us all down and say a few happy words, then we were free.

The principal took the stand and tapped the microphone. Just about all of the people around stopped talking, a few oblivious of what was going on.

I felt an odd ripple of chills go down my spine. Mom must of felt something was wrong, too, as she looked at me with a worried face. She put a hand on Zeze's and Dannie's shoulders and those shivers seemed to pass through our whole family three times over.

"Now, we all know that this has been an incredible year for all of you here," The principal, Mr. Ignacio (he's some immigrant I hardly know from Rome. He has a deep accent, asks people to call him by his first name, and many of the girls at this college have tried to ask him on a date, all failing), started. "I have met just about every one of you, and you are all-"

A guy I regonized as Clark suddenly screamed out, "It's a bomb alert! LISTEN!"

The entire room fell silent. We slowly noticed a weak noise in the distance.

Clark was right.

Waves of panic hit the crowds. People fled the building, some crying or screaming in terror. My mom pulled us close, screaming above the noise.

"JUST GET HOME!"
