~"Were going now," She smiled.

"No!" I cried. " I wanna come too."

I ran up to her side and grabbed her leg tightly. I wrapped my hands in a grip. I squished my face against her leg.

"I wanna join," I pouted.

She laughed and rolled her eyes. "Fine you can come too."

I released her from my hug. I jumped up and down, giggling. Flawing my arms around, I finally convinced her I could go too.

She kneeled down in front of me. Her finger pointed toward my nose.

"But you have to behave," She specifically told me.

"mhhm," I grinned big and nodded.

Her face lit up as she laughed," Now go get you coat on, Cutie."

My little feet scampered away from her. I ran toward the coat hanger that stood near the big red door. It hung all sort of things like hats, jackets, umbrellas and scarfs. My purple little coat hung at the bottom so I could reach it. I pushed Tracey's black and green coat aside. I pulled with all my might to expose my coat. It finally unlatched from the hook. I pulled it down and snuggled one arm into it, then another. I stumbled with my arms out, running back to her.

"Zip," I said.

She bent down again, holding onto the bottom of my jacket. I felt the zipper's vibrations as she zipped it up all the way to my chin.

"Nice and warm," she questioned.

"Yeah!" I jumped with glee.

She lifted my feet off the ground. My legs curled around her hip as my face snuggled against her shoulder. Her arms wrapped around me and mine wrapped around hers too.

"Hey, what you two doing," a scruffy voice said. Around the corner, his body formed. A jacket and a scarf was already on him. He was smiling at me.

"Mommy said I can come too," I said using a smile to show all my teeth.

"Really?" He laughed. He walked over and kissed my mom on the cheek.

"Yup, she's too cute I couldn't say no," My mom explained.

His face was close to my cheek. His mouth was circled and it was on my skin. He blown air out of his mouth and onto my cheek. My cheek made a ticklish feeling that made me laugh.

"Daddy!" I exclaimed.

"Whose my little girl?" My dad kissed my forehead.

"Not me," I pouted. "You tickle me so I'm not anymore."

"But I love you," Dad cried. My mom laughed.

I looked away with my arms crossed," Nope..."

"Why?" He laughed.

"Because I love you more, Daddy," I giggled and hugged his head.

"Your going to be a smart little girl aren't you?"

"Yes she is," My mom answered. They kissed one last time.

...

We walked out of our house. I witnessed the red door faded behind us as we walked toward the car. A white one-story house was across our yard. A white fence kept it in. I was put into my car seat and strapped in. A kiss on my forehead was left by my mom. Tracey was sleeping over at a friends, otherwise he would be buckled in next to me. I watched as my mom shut my door and went into hers. My dad shut the driver's side of the door and his hands grasped the keys. They were turned in the ignition. The car started up and the it shook as it did. The engine growled as my dad moved the car forward on the street. We were on our way...

I was jumping up and down in my car seat to some song that was on the radio. Mom and dad were laughing and giggling at me. I smiled big so they could see I was having fun. My mom was waving and gesturing at me as my dad was talking about the song. One flash, one moment, one family could be gone forever.

I saw in front of the windshield a pair of eyes. Through all the rain and darkness the eyes stood out. Red painful eyes struck at me. I screamed. An out of control car, a screaming child and a crying mother was all you could here. Then there was nothing.

Snap

My strapped in body flopped down. I landed with a grunt. I was still conscious. The car was tilted on its side. I remember I crawled out. I was small enough to squeeze through the broken window. I was out alive. Stepping on glass in my tiny boots made a crunch sound. I made my way to the front of the car. The car's headlights were flashing as you heard beeping coming from the inside. The windshield was cracked in the middle. It was too dark to see through it. Rain was washing away something on the passenger's side... My eyes widen in sheer shock... it was blood.

I ran over to my mom's side of the car. She was upside down. Her hand reached out of the window. Blood was dripping down it.

I kneeled on the ground looking to see her face," Mommy? Mommy?"

No response...

"Mommy!" My screeches echoed throughout the empty road. My tears were stained on my cheeks as a remembrance. My purple coat was dripped in blood. I stood up and turned around not wanting to bare the sight. Shoes crunched in front of me. My face was cover by my fists as I cried into them.

"They didn't belong," Snickered a familiar voice.

I looked up from my trembling hands. Red eyes beamed onto my soul. Sneered growls embraced my ears. Fangs popped out and vastly apporched my defenceless body. I screamed...

~ "Ahhhhh!" My terror from my nightmare snapped into reality. My hands clasped onto my ears and my eyes teared shut. I was screaming. I was holding on to dear life.

"Caro," Someones voice called.

"Carol," There it is again.

"Carolyn!" The voice broke through my screams. I stopped yelling to notice who it was. Beck was calling for me. Hands grabbed my arms and I was shaken.

I opened my eyes in fear to see Beck breathing heavily.

"Thank god," He said in the most worried tone. He pulled my body into a grip.

"I was worried you wouldn't come back this time..."

"They are getting worst," I flatly said. I grabbed his shirt keeping my tears steady, but they just poured out.

"I can't bare to lose you, Angel."

His shirt was soaked with a part of me. I backed away breaking the embrace.

"My parents died..."

His silver paled in shock.

"and I know who did it..." I wiped my tears with my sleeve. My eyebrows curved into a fierce anger. My voice stiffened as my words completed what I had to do in my life.

"There's no room for crying. I'm going to fight him and I'm going to kill him..." My teary eyes dried up. I was right. The only person who needs to stop him is me.

And that's exactly what I'm going to achieve.
