Memory from 2 years ago
....................................................
I was outside with my dad talking about some school stuff when I saw a car slowly pull up to our house. I look at my dad and I see his eyes widen as he looks back at me. "Quick Grace hide!" He says and I quickly hid behind a bush. I see a man dressed in a fancy suit. My dad stood up as the man in the suit pulled out a gun. My eyes widen and my dad puts up his hands. "Please Mike. Don't do this." My dad said. It was too late he pulled the trigger and my dad falls to the ground.
I cover my mouth to hold in my scream and I feel tears pouring out. "Search the rest of the house and find the rest of the family." This mike guy said. It was just me and my dad. The rest of my family were out if town for my brothers baseball tournament. They weren't suppose to be here till tomorrow. I stayed in the bush until I see their car pull away before I pull out my phone. I'm sobbing through the whole thing and I hear my mom crying too. "Don't worry sweetheart we are leaving now. Stay there till we get there." She says and we talk more before I hang up. I see my father lying on the ground.
When my mother gets there we pack up bags and leave. I have no idea what we are going to do now.
Present
.......................
That was two years ago. Now we have moved 4 times. Always going through the same process; new town, new looks, and new names. Mike is still looking for us. Mom told me that our dad was part of a secret organization and Mike's organization wanted to kill him and capture the rest of us. Now we are in a new town. We got a new house and we had to get new names and looks. I have to cut my hair to shoulder length and make it curly. Then I have to dye it hazel brown and put in brown contacts. New looks now for a new name. Dads organization help us with moving and trying to keep us safe but nobody can find Mike. The organization gives me the new name, Kaycee Wood. Hopefully I can call this new place home for a long time.
