It is 7 pm, in Queens. Fifteen year old Amethyst was getting ready for bed. Her mom, Lilly, was in the next room getting prepared too. All of a sudden, Lilly heard a loud noise downstairs. Lilly looked at Amethyst beautiful amethyst eyes for a couple seconds then she told Amethyst to stay upstairs and call the police. As Lilly went down the stairs, she can remember when Amethyst was born. Lilly did not have a name for her baby girl, so when the baby opened her eyes, Lilly knew what she was going to call the baby. Amethyst after her unique amethyst eyes.Amethyst called the cops but crept down the stairs to see what was going on. She saw her mother kneeling down at gunpoint. A few seconds later, the gun went off, and Lilly was dead. Amethyst saw the blood slowly run across the floor and it stopped inches away from her. Amethyst was quietly crying in the corner. The police came and called the ambulance. A police officer escorted Amethyst out of the house and into the police cruiser. Since there is no other relatives that would take her in, she was sent to an orphanage.
