She was young, or she was just short. She looked down and saw a gold butterfly necklace wrapped around her neck. She was smiling, and she knew it was because of her new necklace. She turned around and saw a boy she knew, her brother. She giggled, "Thanks..."
But before she said his name, the scene dissolved and she was suddenly somewhere else.
She was in bed when she heard a voice she knew was her mother's. "Kids! Kids! Wake up Come see!"
When she sat up, her mother was looking out the little window excitedly. Her brother asked what was going on, and the two made their way over to their mother at the window.
Outside, she saw something she never thought she'd see.
Snow.
She and her family marveled at the white power they never though they'd see when they broke in. Her mother was holding her and her brother, who was calming her down. Her father was defending the family as four people came in - three men and one woman. They said something about her parents ignoring messages, but she didn't know what they were talking about.
"I'm sorry, but we need the girl. Elizabeth. I'm very sorry, but we've got no choice."
She knew that they were talking about her, meaning her name was Elizabeth. Her brother's grip on her tightened. Then he charged at the strangers, only to be knocked down.
Her father appeared in the doorway with a gun. He kept shooting, but missed every time. More shots were fired, and the girl couldn't see who shot them or where they were coming from through the chaos.
When the loud noises stopped, she watched in horror as both her parents fell to the ground, unmoving. The people grabbed her and her brother and dragged them out of their small house carelessly.
Then, her vision went blank.
