Keira's POV

Me and my brother, Ethan, hadn't seen each other in awhile. I was always so busy with my work that I never got to visit my younger sibling. Now I find out that he's not only married but I'm also an aunt.

I finally found some free time in my schedule to visit my brother so here I am. Ethan has invited me over for dinner to meet his wife and daughter, which I happily accepted.

I sat in my car, adjusting my brown contacts. So not to freak out my new sister-in-law with my peculiar eyes.

People found my different coloured eyes a bit strange and always made fun of me for them. But eventually I learned how to hide them so that I wouldn't have to deal with the judgement of other people. .

I brushed my dark raven hair before walking up to the door.

I knocked at the door. The door opened revealing my confused looking brother.

"Hey, Ethan." I said bring him into a hug. He returned the hug then pulled back. "Keira! You're finally here." He said in an excited tone.

We walked in where I was greeted by another confused face of a woman. "You must be my brother's wife." I said, reaching out my arms to embrace her. She stiffed a bit. "Brother?" She asked, staring at Ethan.

"Oh yeah, Mia, I forgot to mention. This is my sister, Keira." He said scratching the back of his neck.

"Don't worry about it. At least now we can get to know each other better." I said, giving her a friendly smile. She returned it with the same expression. And I let go of her.

"Come on, we don't want the food to get cold." Ethan said as he led me to the dining room. We sat on the table where Mia asked my questions about my work and my life.

"Wait a minute, there is a little person missing from the table." I said, referencing my new niece.

"Oh Rose, we put her to sleep just before you got here." Ethan said, earning a disappointed look from me.

"Aw, I was hoping that I could hold my niece." I said playfully pouting. He rolled his eyes then smiled again. "You can if you want to?" He said. I nodded happily as he gave me the directions to the baby's room.

As I walked in the directions Ethan was giving me I could hear the muffled conversation happening between Ethan and Mia. I finally reached the room to see the sleeping baby girl.

I picked the little girl rocking her in my arms. 'She's so precious.' I thought cooing over her little body. She had Ethan's blonde hair. 'Why does everyone have blonde hair except me.'

Another thought that seemed to plague my mind for years, my whole life even.

Each member of the Winters family always had blonde hair. So I found it strange that my hair was completely black. No sign of blonde anywhere.

I was broken out of my thoughts as I could hear Mia and Ethan bickering downstairs. "Well this is a bit awkward" I said to the small infant caressing her cheek.

'Bang'

Then the house went silent from the sound of a... gunshot? Followed by the lights shutting off. I looked back at the door only to see a mysterious man standing there.

I couldn't really see his silhouette properly because of the lack of light but it was certain that the man was armed.

Then the sound of multiple bullets and smashing glass sound throughout the house followed by Ethan's cries.

The sound had distracted me long enough that I didn't see the man run up to me knocking me out with his weapon.

My body completely blacked out. The warmth rose gave off leaving the safety of my arms.

Ethan's POV

"What the hell Chris?" I said, staring at the man who had shot my wife. My rage built up as he only responded with only a 'Sorry'. I stared at him in silence until a small voice sounded.

"The package is secure, Captain... but there's a woman." Chris looked in confusion. But I immediately knew what the voice was talking about. "No, leave my sister out of this."

He seemed to listen to my words but he only responded with "Bring her." Speaking to the person on the other end of the radio.

Two men then appeared. One cradling Rose the other carrying the unconscious figure of Keira. "Rose? What the hell are you doing with my daughter!" I yelled as one of the masked figures handed my daughter to Chris. "Take them away." Chris gestured to me and Keira. "I said get your hands off her!"

"Ethan. No!" We glared at each other.

I turned only to be met with a gun to the head. "Rose... " I struggled to speak as I was losing consciousness. "Get them out of here." Were the only words I heard before slipping into unconsciousness.
