Austin pov

I cried as he beat my 4 year old sister, Tabitha, to death.

I couldn't move my leg because it was broken and twisted in an odd angle.

Ross was unconscious with a knife in his head.

Ethan grabbed me as Jake got Ross. Angelina helped Rydel.

We snuck out of the house as quickly as we could.

Mum came following us with Ryland and Natalie.

Suddenly gunshots rand out in the air.

And I went tumbling through the air.

I screamed in pain as I landed out my broken leg.

The man stood above Ethan, and with a wicked grin, shot him to death.

He ripped Natalie's head off of her body.

Mum gave Ryland to Rydel.

The man stomped on Jake's ribs, killing him.

And stabbed Angelina to death.

Then he started to beat Mum.

In the distance I heard police sirens.


I shot up from bed with tears in my eyes.

My whole family was in my room.

Rydel pulled me in for a hug as I cried against her shoulder.

"What was it about?" Rocky asked.

I explained it all to them.

Ross groaned, "Of all the happy memories he could have gotten, he ends up getting the tragedy?!"

"That happened?" I asked.

They nodded.

"Jonathan," Mum said, "he's your biological father. He's the monster that made our lives a living hell."

I looked down as Mum continued.

"He killed your brothers and sisters. He wanted to kill us all, but luckily he's in jail now."

Is that why everyone looks mature in the eyes?

A tragedy?
