I was picking up my binders

when my phone rang,

"We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it"

I ran to the counter

where my phone sat

and practically threw it

into my ear

as I answered it

on the last possible ring.

"hello,

is this Eliza?"

I was confused

"Yes,

this is Eliza.

Who

are you?"

the caller let out

a heavy breath

"This is Meredith,

the eldest of the alsteen children,

you babysit us,

and watch us at the library."

I could hear it clearly now,

yelling

and screaming

in the background,

I heard a gunshot,

"Eliza,

I need help,

I have my brothers

and sister

locked in a closet

in the basement

but,

hurry!"

She screamed

as the line went dead.

"Meredith!

Meredith!"

But,

she was gone.

Why are these things

happening to us,

wasn't losing Mara enough?
