Enslaved to the Shadow King

I was sitting in my room like I always was until my mother called me down for dinner. I came down the stairs and as I approached the table I noticed that my father wasn't there. I didn't mind, he was always so mean and cruel. Me and my mother waited for him, not having much conversation. Soon my father showed up, for once not smelling like whiskey. We all ate silently which wasn't unusual. About half way through dinner my father picked up his steak knife and it seemed like time froze. With six bloody stabs my mother laid dead on the cold kitchen floor. I was in to much of shock to let out a scream. I ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs then into my room as fast as I could. Grabbing my metal bat I hid in my closet behind some cloths, shutting the door behind me. Every step my father took up the stairs seemed to echo through my mind. I heard him say

"Katie, it's alright.....I won't hurt you".

I knew I should have ran out the front door but I was so confused, and now it's to late. I was to scared to cry as my father opened my bedroom door. I readied my bat as he opens the closet. I tried to swing it at him but he just grabbed it and yanked me forward. Everything else seemed to happen so fast, he tied me up with bungee cords and then threw me in the backseat of his car. We drove for awhile until we stopped at a old performance theater. He pulled me out of the back seat and threw me onto a dyeing lawn. After he talked to a man I managed to force words out of my mouth,

"What's going to happen to me?"

"Your going to be sold as a slave" He sneered with no regret in his eyes

Then he drove off and left me there to be sold.
