Surprise? (ash)

Hannah was in her room. She was looking at two pamphlet; one about early motherhood, and one about abortion. She couldn't make up her mind, and it was a pretty important decision. No matter what she choice to do, her life would be changed forever.

As she sat on her bed thinking, she heard the doorbell ring. She paused to see if anyone was gonna get it, not realizing that she was home alone. When she heard the doorbell ring again, she decided to get up and go answer it.

Going downstairs, she opened the door, only to see a puppet on the porch. "Okay..." She picked it up and looked around. She even stepped off the porch and looked down the street. As she did, Antonio, Dominic, and Lorenzo snuck in the house behind her. Confused, Hannah took the maryonette inside.

"Surprise!" the man called out as soon as she stepped back into the house.

Eyes widen, Hannah screamed, scared to death.

"Hey, hey!" Antonio put his hand on her shoulders.

Hannah was not about to go through what happened again. "No!" she screamed, kicking his groin.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked, confused.

Hannah backed up and pulled out her knife. Shaking, she screamed, "Get away from me!"

"Wow!" Antonio put his hands up. "Easy there."

Dominic stepped behind her to try to disarm the girl. He grabbed her wrist and took the knife by force. As soon as he did, Hannah bit his arm to make him let go of her, and ran upstairs. Her head and heart were ponding. Who were these men? Were they chasing her? If she knew that they were her father's cousins, she would have not been so scared. But as far as she knew, they were going to chop her up in a million pieces. And while the old Hannah would be pissed, not scared, this was not the old Hannah. This Hannah was going through PTSD. This Hannah was pertrified.

She turned around once she was against the wall where they couldn't see her. The men were disgusing the teenager they had just encountered.

"One of us has to go talk to her." Dominic decided.

"You have the most experience with girls." Antonio told Lorenzo.

Lorenzo sighed. "Yeah, I'll go get her."

Over my dead body! she thought. She ran to the end of the hallway and pulled down the door to the attic. Climbing up, she pulled out her cell and dialed 9-1-1. Once she heard the dispatchers voice, She whispered "There's three men in my house."

"Hello? I need to talk to you." Lorenzo called up to her.

"Okay, we're sending a police officer to your house. I'm gonna keep you on the phone until they get there."

Hannah nodded, then heard, "Are you up there?" Looking down, she saw Lorenzo. Grabbing the handle of the attic door, she pulled as hard as she could. The door hit Lorenzo's chin and knocked him out before closing. Hannah scooted over to the attic window and kept the cell phone to her ear.

Frank Drummond was the one to respond to the call. He pulled out his gun and then entered the house. "Put your hands up!" he ordered.

Antonio and Dominic obeyed. "We're suppose to be here." Dominic told him.

"We're Marco Del Rossi's cousins." Antonio added.

The dispatcher heard through Franks radio and asked Hannah, "Who is Marco Del Rossi?"

Hannah swallowed. "He's my dad."

"These men say that they're his cousins."

Hannah shook her head. "No! I've never seen them before!"

Once the dispatcher told Frank what she had said, Frank nodded. "Okay. You two are coming with me." he said, placing them in handcuffs.
