"Have a good first day of school Katherine. I'll be here around 4 to pick you up from school and take you home, because tonight I might have to work over time at work. So I'll be be here at around that time.' My sister Sarah said smiling at me. She had long beautiful hair just like mothers and her eyes were so green and her skin was just like mothers all smooth and tan.She was about 22 and she was about five foot seven, but her smile reminds so much like mothers smile all warm and friendly. Then there is me. I have long red hair, I'm nineteen years of age and about five foot five, wear glasses and my skin is whiter then my sisters. I looked up at my sister and smiled back,'Katherine everything will be alright. Stop worrying too much, because you know what mom......' She cut off looking down. I could see she was hiding the tears from me. So I leaned closer to her and kissed the tear drop on her cheek. She looks at me and crys into my chest as I held her close to me, trying to calm her down. She always gets this way when she talks about our mother.'Everything is going to be alright Sarah, I miss her too, but we got to be strong for mom's sack. She taught us better than that, but I have to go to school. You can sleep in my room with me tonight if tha twill make you feel better. I love you Sarah. Just stay strong.'I said holing her tighter as she got relaxed. She loked up at me and I could tell she was getting better.'Thank you Kathrine. You're right she did teach us better then this. So I'll see you around 4 alright.'I looked up at her and smiled.'Yes I'll see you around that time."

I got out of the car and got my backpack and suff out of the back seat. I had my shoulder bag on my shoulder, a notebook and a pincil so I can write the notes down because I'm in the middle of the first sumester so I have a lot to catch up to do. I never like being left behind in school because I'm just goingto say it I'm a geek alright. My best subjects are Math, History and English. Then I shut the back door and walked off and smiled at Sarah through the close window and she smiled back and left. My name is Katherine Marie Homes and my family is a wealthy family. Yeah, yeah I'm lucky right, but I'm not. I saw my own father Murder my mother when I was seven and my sister Sarah was 10. Sarah was at a friends house while I was at home with my mother. That night changed everything for me and Sarah.

Falshback
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me and my mother were in the living room because I just got done with a bath and mother was brushing my hair humming my lullaby she always sings to me when she does my hair and when I go to bed. Everything was fine until my father came home drunk off his ass that night and started to talk real bad about mother at how she wasn't a good mother because she wasn't home to take care of us like she used to do before she was hired as a teacher for the Frist grade. When I saw my father that night I knew I would never forget that night. He hit my mother across the face as she fell to the ground holding her face crying because he has never been this way before and he kept hitting her and hurting her. Try to imaging a younf little girl watching this scared for her and her mother's life.
Well I was that girl and I couldn't stand hit hurting her likethat and i got in front of mother before father could hit her again saying, "Stop hurting mommy daddy! She hasn't done anything wrong! Please daddy stop hurting mommy!." But that was a mistake. My father took out a kife and I was so close to him that he cut open my chest with all his force and I fell down crying and then I felt something warm on my hands and when I looked down I saw red on my hand and I knew at that moment I was going to die. I was bleeding so much that I started to get light headed headed and that I couldn't breathe because of the pain. Then at that moment mother got in front of me and father before he sould finsih me off. She said," You will not hurt our daughter while I'm here or anytime. I will protect her with all my life if it depended on it. You will not hurt my Katherine!!"

Mother turned to face me amd put me in her embrace to protect me, her daughter. That's when all hell broke lose. I looked around my mother and I saw father pull out a gun and pointed right at mother and pulled the trigger and shot my mother tree times. One bullet hit her in the shoulder while another hit her in the back and the last one into her chest. I saw the pain and fear in her eyes, the tears running down her face, blood at the corner of her mouth and falling to the ground halfway dead and half alive. I looked up and saw my father pointing the gun to his head and I saw him pull the trigger and killed himself while his blood hit mr in the face as he fell to the ground dead. I could still see her breathing slowly. I got beside her and turned her over to her back so I could see her face as I held her hand crying as I had my other hand over my bleeding chest.

"Mama, Mama, please dont be dead. Mama please come back to me.*crys harder* Mommy! Please wake up please! PLEASE! MOMMY! WAKE UP!" I said. I ws just a little girl when this happened. I was scared, afraid and sad. That's when I saw mother barely open her eyes.

She put her hand on my cheek wripping my tears aways and she smiled and then she coughed and blood came out while she was coughing. I found my towel that I used just a couple minutes ago and put it over her mouth while she coughed again. I wripped the blood off her mouth and face. Then I put it over her chest to stop the bleeding and put pressure over her chest to keep her alive just for a while longer. Mother looked at me with tears running down her face and in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you from your father Katherine*coughs* I should of been stronger instead of standing around while you got hurt*coughs* You have to live to forfill your destiny KAthrine. I promised you that I'll be there to protect you all the way till death.*coughs as she looked into my eyes* KAthrine you're differant from any other girls hunny. You're still too young to figure it out yet. Kathrine, promise me this. You will protect this picture of me and you and protect this necklace I'm giving you*she took the necklace off and put it around my neck* Never let anyone take it away from you. My dearest Kathierne it's your destiny to keep this safe without a doute. You have to protect your sister and yourself lives from now on. Someday you will find your one true love with the same necklace as this one. You and that someone will have a long jurney ahead of you. Katherine I love you with all my heart and soul and I hope one day you will forgive me of not always being there for you and your sister.... I'm sorry I failed you. Tell Sarah that I loved you both very much and hope to die andwith all my heart and soul. I love you girls so much*coughs* that it pains me to have to leave you guys like this. Remember what I said. Protect the necklace like your life depending on it and never forget how much I lvoe you both. Kathrine I Love......You....."

That was her last wish for me to protect this necklace and my sister. When I stopped crying I called 911 and told them that my father just killed my mother and then killed himself while I was trying to stop the bleeding from my chest and when I couldnt stay awake much longer I passed out with 911 on the line. The next thing I knew I was in a hospital bed and found that my necklace was still around my neck and I uncovered myself and I was all wrapped up. Ever since that night the pain in my chest would never stop and I was stucked with this scar for the rest of my life and I cried in that bed.
