Disclaimer: I do not own anything that does not belong to me. Does that
make sense? Didn't think so, it wasn't supposed to. Well, it finally
dawned on me that I could post here as well on my vacation. So here is my
chapter! Thanks for being patient and bearing with me!
Chapter 4
POV-EPHRAM
I slowly ate my dinner with my mom and sister. My dad was at work. My mom had cooked spaghetti and meatballs, Italian style. It had a side dish of macaroni and cheese.
"Ephram, would you mind cooking dinner tomorrow night? Your dad and I are going out. He'll be coming back from work tomorrow afternoon." My mom asked me.
"But tomorrow night's Friday." I said, looking up from my half full plate.
"Yeah. I'm glad you know the days of the week finally, Ephram." My mom said sarcastically.
"But I have plans!" I put in.
"With.?" She asked.
"A friend that you can trust." I said slowly.
"Which friend?" She asked me skeptically.
"Is this turning into an interrogation?" I asked finally after a long pause.
"Only if you want it to be one." I heard a new voice enter the conversation.
"Dad!" Delia screamed and ran to my dad's arms.
"You weren't supposed to get home until tomorrow." My mom said.
"Well, they let me out early. The surgery on Mr. Chaplin was canceled and moved to next week." Dad said.
"Oh." Delia said and hugged dad again.
"Well let's still watch the movie." My mom said.
"What movie?" Dad asked.
"Lilo and Stitch." I said and pulled the DVD from the cabinet.
"Oh, alright." My dad said.
"But first let's finish eating. Dish up some spaghetti, Andy." Mom said.
"Okay." Dad replied and kissed my mom on the cheek.
When we finished eating, I picked the DVD up again and put the disc into the CD rack to play. I sat down and quickly hit the menu button to pass up the evil commercials. Delia and mom came back in with popcorn and drinks.
"Ephram, you have Pepsi, is that all right?" My mom asked me.
"Yeah, sure." I said and took my soda from Delia.
I hit the play button and watched the opening credits. Time passed by quickly through the movie. We laughed, Delia cried near the end and felt better when Stitch would stay in Hawaii. That made us laugh harder.
"Dad, can we move to Hawaii?" Delia asked when I was putting the DVD away and cleaning up.
"Maybe." Dad said.
"All right, time for bed. It's almost 10'o clock." My dad said, looking at his watch.
I grinned and started walking down the hall towards my room.
"Yeah, but I still have plans tomorrow night I'm sticking to." I said and turned around to face my dad.
"Fine. I'll call Mrs. Cleary to see if Delia can stay at Mary's tomorrow night." Mom suggested.
"Yeah!" Delia piped in.
I laughed as she ran to her room to change. I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth.
"G'night mom! G'night dad!" Delia yelled as she entered the bathroom to brush her teeth.
POV CHANGE-KARIN
I looked around and saw flames surrounding me. I tried to get out of the car but the door was locked and I couldn't get it undone. I picked a blunt object off of the floor of the vehicle and slammed it against the window. I saw a large crack form there and I beat against it again until it finally broke open. I slipped out of the window carefully, but not carefully enough.
I grabbed at my wrist and looked down to see blood seeping through a large gash obtained by the broken glass. I ignored it, knowing of the much important job to deal with here and ran down the street as fast as my short legs would take me. I looked around as I reached the market for them. After a moment of searching, I finally found my parents, and the darkness around them. I scowled at the man behind them reaching into his trench coat and pulling out a .38 millimeter pistol.
I watched his movements that I had long since memorized to see if anything was different. I ran towards him, seeing everything was the same, and jumped in the air to tackle him, but flew through him again, as I usually did. He pointed the small gun at my mother slowly.
"No!" I yelled and woke up in a cold sweat.
I was breathing erratically as I heard heavy footsteps coming towards my room and my light flicker on.
"Karin, what's wrong?" I heard John ask.
"She had her dream again, idiot!" Todd yelled.
"I know! Shut up, munchkin!" John yelled back.
"Cess pool!" Todd screamed.
"Moron!" John screamed again.
"Shut up both of you, stupid heads!" I cried.
"Sorry, Karin." They said simultaneously.
"I'm fine and Todd's right. I had the dream again." I said, looking down in my lap.
"Well? Did you get any further?" Todd asked.
I nodded my heard and clutched my stomach.
"He shot mom first." I finally said.
"I knew it! Pay up!" Todd yelled, his hand outstretched to John.
I rolled my eyes as John passed Todd a 10 dollar bill for guessing who was shot first.
"You two are materialistic weasels." I said. "Go back to sleep. Oh! I won't be coming home 'til late tomorrow night. I'm going out to the movies with someone." I added.
Replies came from both of my brothers as they walked back to their rooms.

Done for a while! I'm working on chapter five which will blow your minds away. Heheh. I will finish it and post it when I'm done if there is enough time between postings. Oh, and I give credit to my mom for helping me out with a few things in chapter 5 and it will no longer be sad! I changed my mind and decided not to be evil. I may or may not tell those that want to know bad enough what I had planned. Depends on my mood when I am writing the ending. But I'll keep you posted, literally.
