A little girl with long black hair is running around in a white shirt and jeans. She looks to be about seven years old. She has a bright blue sash around her body that says," birthday princess". She's screaming," I'm gonna get you!, I'm gonna get you!" her arms are outstretched. She's running around screaming, laughing, having the time of her life. Having fun playing tag with her three friends. She stops running, suddenly tired and thirsty. She runs over to the mini fridge and gets a juice box. The straw is inches away from her mouth, when her eyes droop and her body goes slack, like the life is sucked out of her. The juice box falls from her hand. She staggers," mommy?" she calls. Her voice no higher than a whisper. No reply. Scared now, she tries again, this time louder," Mommy!"this time the scream is one of fear. She falls down on the grass, she hears screams from a lot of people, the sound is hurting her ears. She feels her body being turned over, she's looking into a face with blue eyes and black hair identical to her's. "Mommy" she whispers. Something inside her tells her to rest, so she closes her eyes and does so. The last sound she hears is her mother's scream," Nikki!!"
