Assasin

A twig snapped and I looked around. It was almost midnight, and I was running around in the woods behind my house. My parents hate it when i go back there so I only ever go at night. Geez, my parents are so paranoid. We are secluded completely from civilization. In my 12 years of life I have never once really gotten to know a human being beyond my mother and sister. I don't know why we're so secluded. I've been playing around in the woods for an hour now and suddenly i smelled smoke and heard screaming. I ran for the house. The moment I got there I wished I had run the opposite direction. It was aflame. My mom was standing with her back to the window screaming. "mom" I yelled. " Mom! please! Can you here me? Jump! Run! Mom! Karen Johnson!" she wouldn't respond. The flames engulfed her and she was gone. No! What about Joanie, my sister? She couldn't be gone too. I started running but something landed in front of me. It was someone or something about my height. It's face was cast in shadow. The smoke got in my lungs, i felt something pierce my heart and everything went black.
