Chapter 2! I updated this pretty quickly I think, but I'm on a roll and I guess that's a good thing lol This chapter is sad, I just hope it makes some sense and you will learn what happened to A's family. This chapter is very long, I kind of got carried away and I enjoyed writing it lol Thanks for the Reviews, Alerts and to the unknown people who read my story.

I hope you enjoy this chapter :)

I lay on my stomach on my Sister's bed as I ate my favourite treat... toffee. How I loved toffee, so creamy and chewy. I love the sugar rush they gave me, even more odd that I hadn't even developed diabetes from the amounts of toffee I ate and my Mum always joked to me about it.

" What does she know..." I muttered as I unwrap my last toffee and stuffed it into my mouth.

" Did you say something Aidy?" Asked my Sister.

I smiled as looked over towards my Sister sitting in front of her medium-sized television, she was playing Super Nintendo again and I have to admit it... she was a pretty good gamer for a girl. I sat up and shook my head.

" No Sammy." I said well I chewed my toffee." What are you playing?"

Sammy pulled her legs to her chest as she looked over her shoulder at me and smiled." Super Mario World, do you fancy a 2 player game with me?"

" Yeah please..." I smiled.

" Bring it on then little brother..." Chuckled Sammy.

I jumped off my Sister's bed and sat down next to her. She handed me her game-pad and I watched her grab her second game-pad from in front of her Super Nintendo. I love playing video games with my Sister, she maybe 4 years older than me but she always found time to hangout with me and moments like these always meant the world to me.

" So Aidy, are you sleeping in your secret base tonight?" Asked Sammy as she chewed her bottom lip and repeatedly pressed the A button on her game-pad as she glared at her television." Or should I just say the backyard's crappy shed..."

I looked up at my Sister sitting next to me, I watched her run her fingers through long blonde hair and let it fall over her right shoulder. My Sister Samantha looked a lot like my Mum, yet she had the same coloured eyes as me and not brown eyes like my Mum.

" Yeah, me and Maxwell are going to sleep in there tonight." I replied, I chuckled as my Sister swore at Bowser in his clown ship." Why don't you come and sleep in my secret base too."

" I don't think so Aidy, I have homework to do tonight... maybe next Saturday." Answered Sammy. " Also I have issues with spiders, that shed is like a spider magnet..."

" Yeah, I'd like that..." I laughed as I pointed towards the television and shouted." Oh Sammy watch out! Bowser is going to start bouncing in his clown ship!"

Sammy squealed as Mario got crushed under Bowser's clown ship and I watched her throw her game-pad to the bedroom floor in frustration.

" I can't fucking believe it!" Laughed Sammy, she got up from the floor and stretched her arms above her head." That's the fifth time Bowser as killed me today, come on Aidy...let's get some ice cream and watch TV or something for the rest of the afternoon before Mum gets home from work."

" I want mint chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate sauce and squirty cream." I smiled as I jumped up from the floor and wrapped my arms around my Sister's waist." Also peanuts and smarties..."

Sammy smiled down at me and ran her fingers through my hair." Anything for you little brother, that sounds like a chocolate overdose waiting to happen and I'm in for that overdose... let's make a Tayler Surprise."

" Cool! I love Tayler Surprises" I smiled." I think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is on now, can we watch it?"

" Of course, it's my favorite show... but you can't tell anyone that I told you that." Answered Sammy.

I unwrapped my arms from around my Sister's waist and nodded my head." I'll take that secret to my grave, I'm going to let Maxwell in now for a while before Mum gets home..."

" Okay." Smiled Sammy, she took hold of my hand and led my out of her bedroom." I'll get us the ice cream well you do that and I may even see if there is any strawberry jelly left over from your birthday 2 days ago."

" I think Mum ate the last of it yesterday." I sighed as I walked down the stairs with Sister by my side." I'll go and get Maxwell now..."

Sammy let go of my hand as we stopped at the bottom of the stairs, I watched her walk through the kitchen doorway and followed after her. She turned on our Mum's little portable radio on the kitchen counter side and opened the fridge door wide as she tapped her foot to a song playing on the radio.

I chuckled to myself as I walked over towards the back door, I turned the key in the door and smiled as I opened it.

" Hey Maxwell!" I laughed as my German Shepherd dog rushed through the back door and headed towards his silver food bowl in the kitchen." I guess you want some dinner."

I watched Maxwell sit down by his bowl as he wagged his tail and tilted his head, I closed the kitchen door and walked over towards the kitchen cupboard. I took the dry dog food from the cupboard and walked over to Maxwell.

" Here we go boy." I smiled as I emptied some of the dry dog food into his bowl and placed the dry dog food bag down by his bowl." Bon appetite monsieur doggy."

" Bon travail." Laughed Sammy as she squirted the cream over the ice cream and grabbed a hand full of chopped nuts from a blue bowl on the kitchen counter side. " So you're learning French is school now, how that's going?"

" Pretty good, I'm top in my Maths class now." I smiled as I watched my Sister put away the ice cream and squirty cream back into the fridge." and I'm top in English class too."

" That's excellent." Smiled Sammy, she picked up the 2 yellow bowls from the side and turned to face me." I'm proud of you little brother, I do believe you have a really bright future. Also if you become rich, I want you to buy me and Mum a house by the beach in Los Angeles... all the works, including a swimming pool."

I smirked and looked down at the kitchen floor. My Sister wants to live in Los Angeles one day when she grows up, to be honest I do too with Mum and get away from boring old Stafford. But I'm happy here as long as I have my family with me.

" Sure, anything you want..." I chuckled.

" I'll hold you to that." Smirked Sammy." Turn the radio off and get your butt into the living room... these Tayler Surprises ain't going to eat themselves."

I watched my Sister walk through the kitchen doorway, I turned the radio off and made my way to the living room with Maxwell following close behind me. I climbed onto the old flowered sofa and leant back on it.

" Come here Maxwell." I smiled as I patted the space on the sofa next to me and grabbed a brown cushion from the sofa." Here boy..."

Maxwell jumped onto the sofa next to me and sat down, he sniffed the side of my head and licked my cheek. I rubbed his ear as I chuckled, I love my dog... he his my best friend.

" Here." Smiled Sammy, she sat down next to me on the sofa and handed me one of the yellow bowl's of ice cream." Eat it before it's melts."

I nodded and spooned some of the delicious cold ice cream into my mouth. My Sister grabbed the TV remote from the arm of the sofa and turned the Television on.

" It's starting!" I cheered as I looked towards my Sister and listened to her sing the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles theme song.

" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heroes in the half shell..." Sang Sammy as she held her spoon out towards me and smiled." Ready Aidy?"

I nodded my head and held my spoon toward's her spoon as I smiled.

" Turtle Power!" Shouted me and my Sister as we clinked our spoons together.

I smiled up at my Mum as bent down she kissed my forehead. I adore my Mum, she is my everything rolled into one. I giggle as I felt her dark brown hair brush against my cheek, I shooed her away from me and licked my tongue out at her.

" Carefully Aidan, if the wind changes your cute little face will stick like that forever." Smiled my Mum.

" I think it would be an improvement if his face sticks like that..." Chuckled Sammy from the kitchen table as she did her homework and leant on her hand." We could use him as a scarecrow for your flower bed then..."

" Shut up Sammy..." I frowned.

" Samantha, just do your homework." Smiled my Mum, she ruffled up my hair and walked over towards the kitchen sink." It's nearly 9pm, so bath and bed after that."

" But Mum..." Whined Sammy." I planned to watch some horror films on TV tonight..."

I watched my Mum and Sister argue for a while, I hate when they fight over stupid little things... it's just a film after all. I shake my head as I walked towards the kitchen's back door, I opened it and Maxwell rushed past me. I closed the door behind me and walked off along a path that led to my secret base at the bottom of the garden.

" Come on Maxwell!" I yelled as I open the door to the shed and look back at my dog sniffing around some bushes near the backyard gate." Bedtime! Maxwell!"

I frowned as I watched Maxwell barking, he sat down in front of the wooden backyard gate and growled. It was not like Maxwell to behave oddly like this, maybe it was Ruby again... the fat ginger cat that always teased Maxwell rotten.

" Maxwell!" I yelled." Come on boy!"

Maxwell looked back at me and barked again.

" Stupid dog!" I yelled.

I patted my knee as I whistled to him, it was not long before he came running over to me and jumped up at me as he licked my face.

" Silly Maxwell." I laughed, I looked towards the kitchen window and waved to my Mum.

My Mum waved back at me and blew me a kiss. I pulled a face at her and watched her tie her shoulder length hair up into a bun. I love my Mum, but really... that was gross. I close my secrets base's door behind me and got ready for sleep time.

I let out a moan as I felt something wet on my cheek, I open one eye and see Maxwell whining. I push him away from me, I sat up in my blue sleeping bag and rubbed my eyes.

" What is it Maxwell?" I asked." Do you need to go for a pee?"

Maxwell walked over towards the shed's door, he scratched at it with his paws as he whined and I unzipped my sleeping bag. I got out of my sleeping bag, I walked over towards the door and opened it slowly.

" Go on then..." I yawned as I watched my dog rush out of the shed and run towards the back door of my house." No, you're not going in the house... just pee and get your butt back in the shed... Maxwell..."

I chased after him and stop when I noticed the back door to the kitchen wide open. This was really odd, my Mum always closed the door at night... she never left it open, the only time the back door was unlocked was when I was camping out.

" Mum..." I whispered.

I walked slowly through the doorway of the back door, it was dark and silent. I looked around the kitchen as I walked through it, I stopped in the doorway that led into the hallway and noticed a flicking light coming from under the Living room door. I walked slowly towards the Living room door, I held my breath as I reached for the door handle and opened the door slowly.

" Mummy..." I whispered.

I peeped my head around the door, there was a lamp on the floor and that's when I saw my Mum. She was lying on her back, he brown eyes were wide open and staring up at the ceiling. Pieces of her dark brown hair stuck to her pale skin of her face, she was still... she was dead.

I tried to hold back my tears, I covered up my mouth as I noticed blood seeping through her once white blouse... this can't be happening, it must just be a horrible dream. Any moment now she will get up of the floor and laugh at me saying it was a joke.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a blood curdling scream coming from up stairs, I looked up the dark stairs and rushed towards them.

" Samantha!." I yelled as I ran up the stairs towards my Sister's room.

I got to the top of the stairs, I stopped as I saw Samantha holding onto her door frame of her bedroom and she was screaming. I stepped forward, I stopped when I saw a man dress in a long black leather coat appear behind her and he pulled my Sister back into her bedroom.

" Samantha!" I cried, I ran along the landing and ran into her room." Let my Sister go!"

I gasped as I covered up my mouth, blood... so much blood. My Sister's was struggling as the man dragged her along the floor of her room by her blonde hair, he yellow kitty nightie was covered in blood and her dark blue eyes were wide with fear as she screamed at me.

" Aidy run!" Screamed Sammy.

I did as she said, I ran back along the landing and down the stairs. I rushed into the kitchen and out of the back door. I opened the wooden backyard gate and ran along the dark path that led towards the front garden of my house.

I looked back over my shoulder as I ran, that's when I saw him... the man dressed in the long black leather coat with a black hat on his head. I ran as fast as I could towards the iron garden gate of my front garden.

" Help me!" I Cried.

I felt myself being lifted up from the ground, the man had caught me... he threw me down onto the grass and placed his hand on my stomach. I struggled with all my might, but he was too strong... I watched him pull a knife from inside of his long black leather coat.

" No! Please!" I cried." Don't hurt me!"

" It only hurts if you struggle..." Said the man quietly as he raise the knife above his head." You were born with sin, you shall be cleansed..."

I closed my eyes tightly, I waited for the feeling of the blade cutting into my skin and that's when I heard a low growl. I opened my eyes, I saw Maxwell running towards me and the man. He jumped at the man and bit his wrist.

" Maxwell!" I cried.

I watched as my dog ragged at the man's wrist and then I saw the knife. I let out a cry as I saw the knife being stabbed into Maxwell's chest, my poor dog... he yelped and fell to the grass.

" Maxwell..." I whispered.

The man pulled his knife from my dog's chest, he looked back at me and that's when I saw his eyes... dark dead eyes. I couldn't see his face probably, his mouth was covered by a red scarf... all I could see were his dark eyes.

I let out a sob as I shuffled away from him, he got up from the grass and towered over me. He was tall, I watched him looked towards my neighbor's house and he sighed deeply.

" Today is your lucky day..." Said the man quietly, he walked slowly past me and I watched him jump over the iron gate." May god have mercy on your soul..."

The man disappear into the darkness of the night, I heard siren in the distance and all the houses in my street where I lived were all lit up with light. I was safe, the police where coming... but what about my Mum and Sister?

I looked towards Maxwell lying on the grass, he was breathing heavily and he whimpered. I crawled over towards him and placed my hand on his chest. His fur felt wet as I stroked him gently, he whimpered again and I comforted him.

" It's okay Maxwell, you are a good boy and I love you." I softly said as I rubbed my eye and let out a quiet sob." Good boy, you're my best friend and thank you for saving me... you are a brave boy..."

Maxwell's breathing got shallow, I watched as my brave dog took his last breath and I let out a loud sob. I leant my forehead on Maxwell's side and sob uncontrollable into his fur.

" Son, are you okay?" I heard a man's voice gently saying to me." Are you hurt?"

I looked up from Maxwell's side, I saw a Policeman crouched down on the other side of my dog and shook my head as I sobbed. I watched as 7 Policeman rushed down the path towards my house's open front door, I looked back towards the Policeman and held back a sob.

" M-m-my Mum and S-s-sister have been a-a-attack..." I sobbed.

I watched the Policeman get up from the grass, he held his hand out towards me and spoke gently to me.

" I know son, your neighbours called us...my name is PC Martin Jones." Said the Policeman gently." I need you to come with me, I'll take you somewhere safe and I'm afraid I need to ask you some questions. Do you understand?"

I nodded my head slightly as I took the Policeman's hand and got up from the grass. I was led away from Maxwell by my hand, I walked next to the Policeman as he led me towards his Police car and he opened the back door for me.

" Do you need any help getting into the back of the car?" Asked Martin.

I shook my head, I climbed into the back of the Police car and covered up my eyes with my hand as I let out a sob.

Martin gently pulled the seat-belt over me and clipped it into the seat-belt's buckle.

" It's okay son, you are safe now..." Said Martin gently.

I felt something being covered over me, I removed my hands from my eyes and looked down to see Martin's Police jacket covering me up. I looked up at him and spoke quietly to him as I wiped some tears from my right cheek.

" My name is Aiden Tayler..." I Said quietly to him.

" Nice to meet you Aiden..." Smiled Martin, he brushed my blonde fringe away from my eyes." Now sit tight, you'll be at the Police Station before you know it and you'll be safe."

I nodded my head as I watched him close the back door of the Police car, he walked around the car and opened the door to the driver's side.

Martin got into the Police car, I watched him close the door and put his seat-belt on.

I looked through the window of the Police car at my house, I guess this place is not my home any more... just a house of full of bloody nightmares. My happy home is no more, my Mum, Sammy and Maxwell are gone. I don't have anyone else left in this world any more, even my Dad didn't want me and left because he couldn't cope with family life.

" Goodbye..." I whisper as the Police car pulled away from my once happy home.
