Isabella's POV

Bella stared out the window of her AP World History class and wondered why in the world she was there. She already knew all this information anyways! Of course, nobody knew that because it was a secret that she had been taking those online classes, but still! This was such a waste of time. She could be studying for her French exam right now, instead of listening to boring Mr. Voshner drone on and on about Chinese culture. Bella looked up at the clock and saw that it was still only 1:30 PM. She didn't get out of the class for another half an hour! She idly remembered that her mom would be picking up her sister, Sarah, for an orthodontist appointment right about now. How come nothing interesting ever happened at this school?

Suddenly a loud noise shot through the air and the lockdown alarm started blazing. Before the class could react, a man carrying a shotgun came bursting into the room, firing shots above the students heads. She screamed in terror as a bullet caught Mr. Voshner in the chest and he collapsed on the floor. The terrorist started yelling and pushing students outside the classroom. Everybody stood grouped together on the outside lawn, screaming and crying as about fifteen terrorist surrounded them. Bella's eyes widened as she saw her mom and Sarah in a second group just 15 feet away.

"Mommy! Sarah!" she called out, hoping they would hear her and give some sign that they were alright. A blinding pain exploded in the back of her head as one of the terrorists hit her with the butt of his gun.

"That your family over there?" he asked in an accent that she couldn't place. "Well guess what. We're not here to hold you people for ransom. We're here to kill you and teach your president a lesson. Since we have to kill all of you anyway, why don't we start with them?"

Bella's head shot up and she stared at him in shock as he said something to one of the other men. Then the two of them walked over to the other group and simultaneously shot her mother and twin sister in the heads. Her body jerked as the shots rang out and her vision went all blurry. As it cleared, she saw the one who had hit her and shot her sister walk over and point the gun between her eyes.

"Say goodbye little girl." he laughed evilly as he grinned at her. She stared at him and whispered,

"You just killed my family." All of a sudden she felt something building inside of her. She felt a rage like nothing she'd ever felt before burning inside her, hotter than any fire in the world. But there was also something else. Something strong and... powerful. "You just killed my family. YOU JUST KILLED MY FAMILY!!"
