There's No Happy Ever After
Prologue:
The night was cold and dark, not a single star was visible in the sky. Not even the moon shown, I was as if they were hiding, hiding from something very horrible.
Eleven year old November, know as Nova, sat on her parents bed shaking her father awake. Her bright green eyes shined with anticipation and her long blonde hair was sparkling in the sun light that danced through wholes in the closed curtains.
"Daddy, get up come on" Nova shook her father away. Today her father, whose name was Bryan, was going to take her on a picnic in the local park. Nova had longed for this moment all week long, just her and her dad.
"What is it Nova?" He father said groggily.
"The picnic, remember come on" She squealed with excitement.
"Sweetheart its way to early, we'll go in a few hours" Her dad said brushing her off trying to get a few more hours of sleep.
"Please?" Nova said giving her dad the dreaded puppy dog eyes.
"Fine go and get the basket and the blanket I'll be out in a few minutes" Her father said while he rolled out of bed.
Nova sprinted out of her parent's room and into the kitchen. She grabbed the blanket the lay draped across the back of their couch.
"Nova what are you doing?" Her brother, Tucker, called out from his room with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Tucker was a year older than his sister, they both had the same bright green eyes but his hair was a darker shade of blonde.
"None of your business" She yelled back.
"Whatever, just be quiet"
"You can't make me"; She yelled back challenging him. Nova was never one to back down from a fight. Her mother had once told her that this would be her down fall, but she was young at the time and had no clue what that meant.
There was no reply from her brother's room, which signaled that he had fallen back asleep but more specifically that Nova had won this battle.
About fifteen minute's later Nova's father emerged from his room.
"You ready sweetie?" He asked with a smile on his face.
"Yea" She shouted happily.
"Alright, see ya'll later" he called out to his wife and son.
Nova's father carried the blanket and the basket full of food. He looked over at his daughter and smiled, she was his little angle. Nova played with the ruffles and the bows that decorated her dress. She was wearing her favorite dress, it was emerald green, and it matched her eyes perfectly.
The father and daughter walked down the quiet streets of their hometown, Buffalo New York.
"Is this good?" Bryan asked his daughter.
"Its perfect" Nova said spinning around in a circle with her arms wide open.
The two had a fun filled day. They played games and ate the food they had brought with them.
At the end of the day while the sun was beginning its daily descend from the sky Nova and her father were running around playing Nova's favorite game, hide and go seek.
"I'll hide" Nova yelled out. She ran over to the nearest tree and pressed her small body up against it in an effort to hide herself.
"Ready or not here I come" She heard her father yell. Her adrenaline was rushing, she loved playing games.
Nova heard someone approached her dad.
"How could you do that?" The man yelled, his words were slurred and he was wobbling around, he was clearly drunk.
"I was doing my job" Bryan yelled at the man. Bryan worked as a lawyer and had recently gotten someone sent to jail for life and now their brother was coming after Bryan.
"Don't give me that shit, I don't want to hear it" That was the last words Nova heard. The man pulled a gun out from behind his back and shot her father in the head.
Nova watched in horror as the man approached her. She let out a squeal and took off running towards her home.
By the time she got their he face was covered in tears and she was out of breath. She noticed that the front door was wide open.
Nova sprinted into the house.
"MOMMY" She screamed hoping that her mother would come running to see what was wrong.
There was no answer, just silence. Nova ran into the kitchen only to see her mother's dead body lying on the ground.
"NO" Nova screamed hoping that this was all a dream. She ran around the house in search of her brother.
When she did not find him she flopped down of her bed and began to cry. Just then she heard the downstairs floor creak under the weight of someone. She grabbed a handful of money off of her dresser. Then ran to her window and threw it opened. She jumped onto the tree that was just with in reach and climbed down it.
And for the second time in that day she took of running down her street, just this time in the opposite direction.

A/N: I decided to start a new story and this idea just kind popped into my head. Tell me what you think. Good? Bad?
