Prologue🔫

The day is just like any other day; Amelia White only eight years old sits at a picnic with her mother and father in their front yard. She is an only child but has always wanted a sibling to play with.

To her parents Amelia is the most important person in their lives; she's their world.

From the moment, she was born her parents showered her with gifts and love. They would go to the end of the world for her.

Amelia smiled lovingly at her parents. You could see the child-like innocence's and love in her eyes.

Everything was so perfect.

But that was before they came.

Just as a few cars sped down the abandon dirt road. Amelia is quickly snatched up into her mother's arms and taken inside.

Her father is left outside alone, he isn't much of a fighter but he would do anything to protect his family.

"Momma?" Amelia asks shakily.

The little girl is frightened of the commotion that is happening outside, she could hear shouting and the sound of flesh hitting flesh.

But for the life of her she couldn't figure out what was happening. Unconsciously, Amelia closes her eyes tight and holds onto her mother never wanting to be let go.

"Amelia, sweetheart. Listen to me, do not come out until I tell you it's safe. Okay, honey? I need you to keep quiet for me. No matter what you hear, do not make a sound."

Amelia tightens her arms around her mother's neck not wanting to be left alone.

"Please don't leave me mommy!" Amelia cries.

"Shh...it's going to be alright sweetie. I'm not going anywhere. I just need you to do that for me. Can you do that for me sweet pea?" She asks gently wiping away her tears.

Amelia nods silently and climbs into the small crawl space behind the couch.

Her mother gently places a kiss on her forehead and quickly closes the trap door behind the couch when the noise of splintering wood meets her ears.

She must protect her daughter no matter what. She will never let anyone harm her, her sweet and loving child did not deserve the life those merciless men outside her home wanted for her.

She stands to her feet as five men come barging into her living room throwing the limp body of her husband at their feet.

"Michael!" Ruby cries, falling to her knees next her husband.

He is bloody and bruised badly from the beating but is still breathing. The slight movement of his chest rising and falling is the only indication that he is still alive.

"Where's the girl?" The man in the middle demands.

His eyes hold no remorse for the man he has just beaten to a bloody pulp only a few feet from him. He was determined to leave with what he came for; the girl.

"She isn't here." Ruby, lies.

"Men! Search the place!" He commands in a stern tone glaring deadly at Ruby.

The men quickly spread out in search for the girl not knowing that she was only a couple of a feet away from her parents hearing and seeing everything that is going on.

She sobs silently for her father. She didn't understand who these men are and why they wanted her but she knew they weren't from here. Their accents are so alien to her she couldn't pinpoint where they were from.
