I was traveling with Liam and we were in a store, looking for supplies. We were also low on food, so we were looking out for that as well. I made sure to give everyone else an update before we went out on our search so that they knew where we were exactly in case if anything goes wrong. We are walking in a store right now and we are putting medicine and bandages into our bags. "Be sure to get the pads as well baby," Liam says and I nodded my head. I grabbed the only package of pads that was left, but before I could turn and walk out of the aisle, I heard whispering.

I spun and kept up my guard, but when I saw a little girl peering from behind a counter, I relaxed. I slowly walked towards the girl and she doesn't look away from me. "Hello there little girl. Are you lost? Are you okay?" I asked, but the girl doesn't say anything. She just stared at me. I came closer and then I saw another pair of blue eyes. "Oh...is this your sister?" I asked and the girl finally responds by nodding her head.

"I have sisters myself. They are in the U.S. right now, but I'm trying to get to them. Are you girls okay though?" I asked as I was kneeling in front of them. They both shyly nodded their heads and I smiled at them. "Well that's important, yeah? Well, can you tell me where your parents are?" I asked and they looked at each other, but the eldest stepped forward and took something from her back pocket. It was a piece of paper and she was handing it to me. I took it and thanked her. I unfolded it and started to read it.

"Oh..." I said as I was reading. Their parents are gone. That's what the parent was telling me. They his these girls the best way possible before they left. They literally went on a suicide mission, so it's hard to tell if they're alive at this point or not.

"Well we are going to definitely take care of this. Do you want to come with my boyfriend and I? We have a whole group with us and you can definitely count on them." "New daddy?" The youngest asked her sister and I sadly smiled at her. "I'm sorry sweetie, but I can't take care of you like that. I'm sure that someone can though! We are all lovely people, so I'm sure that someone will own up to that responsibility." They both stared at me, but all that I could do was smile. "C'mon now. We can bring you to our base," I then tell them and offered them my hand. The eldest hesitantly took it and I smiled bigger at her. "Liam! We need to get back to base! We have kids here!" I called and a moment later, my boyfriend was rushing to get back to me.

"Oh, they're alive..." "Yeah, I was shocked too. Their parents are out there though. It's hard to tell if they're still alive, but they left this," I handed him the letter and he starts reading it.

"Oh..." "Exactly what I said. We have to get going though. It's not safe here. It's only a matter of time before danger comes in and attacks." "Yeah. I'll notify the others to get back to base," Liam says and we walked out of the store while Liam was talking to the others. "We are going to take great care of you girls. We'll make sure that you're safe 24/7. Now when we say cover, then you need to get behind us. These are monsters and we need to make sure that you're away from it," I tell the two and they understood.

We headed back and there were only a few times where they had to hide, but they were unharmed during our journey back to the base. We are like the second pair to arrive. Nick and Silva were the first to get there. "What's with the sudden ret- oh...look at you too!" Silva chirped and the girls immediately hid behind me. "They're a bit shy, but I'll talk about this when everyone gets here. In the meantime, we need to unpack. I'm sure that they're hungry," I said and she nodded.

....

The others get back one by one, and when everyone was here, I was quick to grab their attention.

"Hey guys. During my run with Liam, we spotted something at the store that is highly important," I tell everyone and they hummed. Louis and Harry were standing close to each other at the back, but I didn't care to bring it up. I just stepped to the side and the two little girls stood there shyly. "Their parents are likely... you-know-what, but we need to protect them so that they don't have the same outcome. I want to have someone to step up and take responsibility of their safety. I would, but I don't have that kind of focus yet. I do-" "I'll do it." I looked and saw Harry making his way to me.
