October /28th/ 2018.

30 minutes before the murder of FBI agents esther and military Sargent Ben king.

"Ma, where did you put the remote?" I yelled in a questioning tone as I hunted down the remote.

"It's on the couch , not the one you're searchin" she said her voice detached , as though something happened .

My head snapped up in the door way to find her standing there, her eyes set upon the floor not moving , her face paler than it usually is , her brown locks tamed into a neat slick back pony tail .

Her lips painted a nude colored lipstick .

Black eyeliner shadowed her eyelids as her dark night long lashes sweep her across her cheek each time she blinked, she was dressed in her uniform, the one they make them wear each time they go into a life threatening situation, a bullet proof vest ? That's when I know that something life threatening is about to happen for sure but , her posture , her posture tells me all it spills her truth .

" ma what's wrong?" I asked my words soaked with worry , her light stormy greys met mine, they held her emotions, the ones her face can not show for all she wants is to keep me safe from the truth , her facial expression gave away no clues of anything being wrong .

But her stormy greys , they hold her emotions, they spill her truth with no hesitation.

" I want you to promise me something, my blessing, I want you to promise mama something " she said as her voice cracked .

As the words spewed out of her lips the warmth of the atmosphere disappeared, it became cold , a bone chilling shiver ran down my spine the shot back up hitting the bone of my neck freezing my skull along the way , my entire being felt cold.

Goosebumps climbed their way upon my skin , they stuck to me like bees to honey.

Then she did something I'd never dream of her doing .

"Oh my god I am so sorry , sorry for what's about to happen , they told us not to interfere, they told me do not try for those who try taking him down dies , whilst their children or loved ones get a front row seat to witness the murder, please I beg , I beg , Nina forgive me" she begged , the fear within her blues were strong. She then stopped all cries obruptly for a audible vibration was heard.

"Your father is no more" she stated emotionless, without checking the soyce of vibration.

"I am sorry for I am to be blamed for my prying on this case for I knew most had tried and failed, I should have payed heed to it for those who failed payed with their lives in front their loved ones and off springs please for give me my one." I couldn't move for my body was frozen, my mind went numb as my crippling emotions evaporated, my body and mind was in shock.

"Momma , momma there is a nice man at the door , he said you forgot your bag at work" Iyanna yelled as she ran into the living area , a darkskin man , with shirt dreadlocks hanging across his for head trailed behind her small frame as she flung her tiny body into my arms.

Within seconds my mother sprung to her feet as she drew out her firearm and aimed it, in retaliation the male drew his firearm instead he aimed his firearm to my forehead as a red dot painted my forehead.

Iyanna giggled "hehe, stop that, you only use that on cats " her little innocent eyes sparkles as she smiled a tooth missing in the middle of her mouth her tiny pink plump lips stained with cool aide as they parted .

"OH princess, this isn't for cats it's to kill humans." He replied, " humans die if I pull this little lever" he said , those harsh cruel yet calm words spilled from his dark lips , as those same lips pulled into a sadistic smile white pearly teeth with one golden one shinning up front his mouth .

"Rosewood" was the only thing my mother said as she pulled the trigger on the gun , as she did so guns opened fire upon our home , 2 rounds of gun shots went off, the trainings my parents taught me kicked in as if it was second instincts, I held Iyanna to my chest as her tiny palms clutched onto my white V-neck T-shirt for dear life as I dropped to the floor.

"Iyanna , sweet heart , I need you to hold onto me okay? Remember the koala hug? That's what I'll be needing you to do right now my sweet, as I try to crawl us to safety" I said to her as another round of guns opened fire , nodding her head I looked down to her as she looked up to me , the tears welling up into here stormy greys as they forced themselves to spill down her melanin soaked cheek, I took a hand and tucked her head back into my chest as a way to protect her head from any stray bullets, I began to recall my brutal early morning military training routine from my father , I crawled my way out of the living area carefully , as I arrived upon the stairs the gunshots were stopped , so did my movements , I froze .

Foot steps echoed through out the halls. A male in an army man's uniform appeared "come this way, I shall guide you to safety" he said, without question I followed , father always had a plan in motion before hand , I trust his plans .

Handing iyanna over to the male as he took her I followed behind quietly and carefully , before remembering my mother .

"Wait , my mother, we have to go back" I called out as worry starts to set in , my mothers life is in danger I must do something, what is the point of being trained my a military Sargent and an FBI agent if I can't help my own mother , what was the point in learning how to handle all different types of firearms if I can't pick one up and help my parents out.

"Your parents can handle theirs selves " the soldier replied as he continued his path on down the hallway in a slow run.

"Please, my mother could be injured " I called out once again , what will I do if they are both gone?

"We are almost at the safe sight " he replied paying no heed to my previous statement.

"Okay , then I'll just go myself " I snarled as I was about to turn around I was yanked back by the arm.

"Listen here little girl and listen well, your father organized the army tensile your safety for sure all you are doing is endangering yourself and putting your mother more at risk for she will not focus on saving hersýelf she will be focusing on saving you, you will only cause her harm so shut the fuck up turn around and begin to March your ass to the safe unit." He growled out his muscular body tense and rigid as iyanna clung to him as a baby sluth does to its mother.

I listened as I followed behind quietly.
