The accident was on her mind. That day when she lost everything she had. Her mother, her father, and her younger brother, Michael. One second they were in her life and the other they werent.. there was just no way to forget that fateful night. That night, Kaylen Thomas became an orphan.

"Kaylen? Are you awake?" Called an unfamiliar voice. Stirring awake, Kaylen Thomas grabbed for her glasses and peered to the open door way of the white hospital. She mumbled something, incoherantly, that signaled that she was barely awake. A nurse in a white uniform marched in like she owened the place.
"Um.. who are you?" Kayled asked, wincing at the pain searing through her jaw.
"Oh, now. Dont do that honey... your jaw was popped out of place in the accident and we had to set it again. It would be best if you would just nod or write something down. Kaylen's eyes showed a vague expression of confusion. The nurse noticed and handed her a pad and pencil to write with.
'Accident?' Kaylen wrote. The nurse grew a look of utmost sympathy after reading the question.
"Yes, dear. You were in an accident. I'm not sure if I should be the one telling you this but-"
"MY PARENTS?!" Kaylen screamed, forgetting the pain. There were more important things to deal with. The nurse didn't speak. She knew of nothing to say to comfort the girl. "They- They're dead arent they?"
The nurse only nodded.
This broke Kaylen's small heart. She was only 13.. she had never experienced a death in the family.
"My brother? Not Michael.. he can't be... gone.."
The nurse nodded yet again. The realization was set in Kaylen's mind now.
"Where- where am I to stay? I have no other family." She whispered.
"We aren't sure yet. This is up to the state now. You will probably be placed in... in a childrens home for the time being. Dont worry.. its not far away. You will still be going to the school you go to now." The nurse explained.
"I.. I wanna know. How- how did they die?" She asked. The thought of death had always made her queazy or sick, but now for Kaylen it was unbearable.
"Um. Do you see that bandage on your right leg?" The nurse asked. Kaylen, now noticing the white bandage, nodded.
"Last night, around midnight, s-shots rang out in your house. Your father being cheif on the police force, was easliy targeted. He put alot of people in prison.. and, for that, the familys of the criminals were mad. Two men picked the lock at night and-"
Kaylen's mind was racing.
*FLASHBACK*
"KAYLEN!!!! GET MICHAEL AND RUN!" Mrs. Thomas screamed, busting into Kaylen's room and holding her chest. Kaylen looked up at her mother.
"Mom.. whats going on?" She asked, scared.
"I-Im sorry, honey. Theres no time to explain. Get your brother and get out of the house. Go down to the Mark's and call the police!! Its an emergancy!" Mrs. Thomas screamed.
Kaylen, now realizing the danger of the situation, jumped up, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and grabbed her brothers hand.
"Michael.. wake up Michael!" Kaylen screamed.
"I'm awake!" Seven year old Michael Thomas said, rubbing his eyes. "Whats going on?"
BANG!
Kaylen's eys filled with tears as she heard her mother shreik in pain
"GO KAYLEN GO!" Her mother bellowed before silence was heard. Kaylen and Michal both were frozen in terror. They both stared at the shadow growing bigger just around the corner of the hall.
"He's coming, Michael! LETS GO!" She whispered in a demanding tone. Michael grabbed for a picture framed on his desk and jumped out of his room with his terrified sister. As they went down the steps they both tripped over something laying in the floor.
"DADDY!" Kaylen screamed. She looked down at the bloody body of her father. Suddenly, the man stirred and with one last ounce of strength, he grabbed his daughters arm.
"Get out of the house, Kaylen. Markasin... shot-" But that was all the man could say.
"Daddy!" Michael screamed, as his fathers limp arm released its grip on his sister and fell over his fathers face. They both heard a click behind them and took off running.
Not ten feet behind them they heard a deffining blast from the gun. Not the last nor the only one Kaylen would hear by the end of the night. Her father was dead for sure now.. along with her mother. Her only thoughts were on saving her brother now. She turned around for a split second to see the man aiming his gun at her brother.
"NO" Kaylen screamed and tryed to dodge in front of Michael. A unbearable pain ripped through her right leg. As if the bullet went right through. Kaylen fell to the ground and within seconds of her fall she heard a small thump beside her. Michael had fallen.
ROWWWW ROWWWW
The police sirens were clearly coming from Smith street, Kaylen could hear. She heard paniked mummbling and peered up to the man standing over her. His face was deciding her fate. Unsure of what to do, the man jumped up and ran out the door, leaving Kaylen alive.
"Bye, Sissy" Was the last thing Kaylen Thomas heard of her family.. it was from her brother who had grown the strentgh to sit up at look at her. He was shot in the chest.. right at the heart.
"BYE!" He whined, and fell over, dead........
