It all happened 4 years ago. I lost everything that night. I was 12 when it happened. I let it happen, it was my fault. I moved on to quick. Afterwards, nothing was the same for me. I remember it like it was yesterday.

[flashback]

We were eating dinner, just another Friday family night when the door of our house was torn down. Men in black clothes and guns came stomping in wearing masks. I didn't flinch at my spot at the table as I continue to cut my steak. My parents on the other had, froze throwing their hands in the air. Just as i start to raise a peice to my mouth when a guy, who I assumed was the leader yelled,"Hands in the air, now!" Sighing, annoyed they interupted my meal I set my silverware down on my plate. Holding my hands and leaning back in my chair, I looked at them to see people pointing guns at my parents heads. I was in a mental panic trying to figure out how to live. Though on the outside, I just raised a questioning eyebrow,"Who are you and what do you want?" I ask in a bored tone. They didn't seem to catch it as the leader spoke,"Well, Mommy and Daddy here made a deal with us, then made a deal with a big-and-bad. They owe us $3,000."

I looked at them for a moment, processing. Then i started laughing, I laughed until tears came to my eyes. My parents stared at me like I was insane, I could practicly feel everyone looking at me. "What is so funny?" the guy with a gun to my Dad's head asked me incrudeously. I wiped a single tear from my eye that fell,"You guys." I inform them all pointing at them,"Let me get this straight, you are threatening to kill them for money they clearly don't have saying as we live in a box? (trailer) I mean you might as well kill them and get it over with." I chuckled darkly at their stupidity, eyes glazed over not giving away anything. In the corner of my eye I see a shadow in the window, but ignore it. "So you won't care if they both die?" the leader asks. I shrug indifferently not showing any trace of fear,"Go for it. They have been nothing but a burden for me my whole life, and that's all that I am to them. So, if your gonna do it, be quick about it. I have a meal to finish." I tell them simply and started cassually eating once again. After 2 minutes, I heard 2 gun shots ring through the room. I grimaced slightly but other than that showed no affect. The last I heard of them was their footsteps on the porch. As i chewed a tear escaped my eye. Then another, I quickly wipped them away, now is not the time to greif.

With that thought, I went up to my room and packed a couple outfits. Next, I ran to my parents room and grabbed $215.00, all that i could find. Finally, I took my Dad's baseball cap and put it on.

I made my way outside only to find more dead bodies with a blonde guy standing over them licking his bloody fingers. I shrugged it off, Karma bitches! I start walking down the porch steps and towards the gate when I was stopped by a voice,"I think I deserve a thank you, sweethart." great, he's british. I turned around with raised eyebrows,"Thank you, sweethart." I mocked his accent. He chuckled," You know for someone your age, your taking death quite well." I should have known he'd say that. I mean a bunch of guys are not 5 feet away with their hearts missing and I watched my parents get shot. Shouldn't I be greiving? Probably. Couldn't I? Not yet. Pushing it back is all I can do till all this blows over. "Death is inevitable, it happens to us all eventually." With that I get off the last step and walk to the gate.

Just as i go to grab the latch, the man is infront of me. I blink, but other than that show no sign of surprise. For the first time I get a good look at blondy. He had blonde, almost brown curly hair with blue green ocean-like eyes. He also had dimples next to velvety lips that seemed to smirk a lot. He was wearing sneakers, jeans, and a henley shirt. I noticed I was checking him out so I quickly looked at his face, only to see him smirking down at me."What?" I snapped."Enjoying the view, Love?" That smirk was really getting on my nerves. "I've seen much better, trust me." I tell him giving him a disgusted look. "Now move, I need to leave and unless your going to kill me...?" I trail off giving him a 'well?' look. He regaurded me with curiosity,"Where will you go?" I scoffed at him,"Why do you care?" He put his hands up in mock surrender."I just figured you would want some help, love." Yes, because I am just totally going to trust someone I just met who tore out some hearts. No thank you! "Well, I don't." I snapped at him.

I checked my phone to see that my neibors were going to be back home soon, I seriously need to leave. I tried to side step him to get the latch but he grabbed my wrist pulling me back. I immidiatly pulled my wrist back," Don't touch me." I growled lowly at him. Amusement seemed to flash in his eyes, but there was also concern," Just how do you plan on dealing with this, Sweethart?" This guy is dancing on my last freaking nerve. Sighing, I answered," I'm gonna change my name, fake my age, and get as far away from here as possible." Before I could try to side step him again, he spoke,"My name is Niklaus, but please call Klaus." he told me taking my hand and kissing it. I mentally roll my eyes. "Jade." I say simply as I finally get to the latch and leave. As I walk I here Klaus call out,"Till we meet again, Jade."
