I was eight. Only eight when my life was torn apart. When I was 3 my dad gave me a toy gun. Mom took it away. My two sister(we were triplets) were learning to sing while dad taught me to aim a gun and use a knife. On one fateful day, my father and I were coming home from skeet shooting(I shot them all with perfect aim) when we noticed a gloomy aura over our house.

"ChiyoChi, get the hand guns out from the back," dad said sternly. He didn't need to tell me twice. I cocked the gun as we rolled into the driveway. Before we went inside my father grabbed me by the shoulders and looked me in the eye. "Remember. Remember what I've taught you. Feel no remorse for who you kill. Feel no sorrow. Feel nothing." We got in the house and split up. I went to the kitchen. The first thing I noticed was the back corner of the room where Seilee and Cash were sitting curled up together in fear. I looked to my right to mom pressed up against the sink. A vampire was sucking her blood. Before I knew what I was doing I pulled the trigger, cocked the gun, and shot again. My aim was perfect as usual. The vampire crumpled. As did mom. She was limp. Not breathing. Lying in a motionless heap of skin, muscle, and bone. She was a hollow shell. Dead. I dropped the gun and ran to the stove. Next to the stove were our kitchen knives were. I grabbed one and twirled around to the vampire. With tears running down my face I beheaded the vampire. I pick up its head. Of course it's still alive. I don't have a demon weapon.

"I know this didn't kill you," I tell the detached head as it smiles up at me, my mother's blood dripping from its teeth, "but I hope you spend the rest of your life searching for yourself. Literally." With that, I threw the head out the window. I smiled at the sound of a faint splash as I remember the pond next to our house so fondly. Dad came into the kitchen almost immediately after that. My face had returned to monotone. I was still with tears though. My father looked at me. I was covered in blood. Then he saw Seilee and Cash. One more turn of his head and he saw mom and the vampire's headless body.

"We need to leave," dad said, his eyes lingering on mom's body. We all mad a break for the car. Cash was the last out. There was an army of vampires waiting for us and our neighbors. Well more like 10 but still. Cash was grabbed by the vampires. I turned around. I'd already lost mom. I was not loosing Cash too. I heard dad and Seilee calling out from behind me but I ignored them. I ran. I was too late, they loaded her on a truck. More tears in my eyes I turned around. Angry and crushed I ran back towards the car. Almost there. Not close enough. I was grabbed by another vampire. Another one of them just itching to ruin my life. I was dragged away from my family once again. I didn't even get to say goodbye.
