"Ace are you ready to go to sleep?", asked my mom.

"I'm ready mom", I reply to her.

As I go under the covers mom walks into my room and heads towards my bed. She tucks me in and kisses the top of my forehead. She whispers where father and her would be located if I need something into my ear. The last I see before falling asleep is my mom turning off the lights and closing the bedroom door.

Thud! Thud!

The sudden noise of thumping woke me from my slumber. Rubbing my eyes to get rid of the tiredness I check the digital clock on the nightstand. 11:30 PM it read. It's not like my parents to be up at this time. They go to sleep early so they can wake up early. It's one of the reasons why I barely see them.

I leave my bed and head towards my parents' bedroom. The source of the noise seem to came from their side. As I get closer to their bedroom the more loud the noise becomes. The moment I put my hand on the doorknob the noise stops all together. A feeling of dread forms in my stomach as I slowly open the door.

My eyes widen at the scene in front of me. Blood was splattered everywhere as if someone had painted the room with the crimson color. It was a view that no 10 year child should ever witness. It made me so sick to my stomach that I though I was going to throw up. But when it came down to it all I did was scream.
