Does anyone know the name of little girl in the picture ? If you do please let me know because I would like for her to play the part of Lacy.

Charlie Gale's POV

A blood curdling scream fulls the empty halls around me. Shock and fear consume me as I snap my head in the direction of the scream. What I saw next prepared me for death itself.

A young girl let's out a scream of terror as a burly young man drags her away from her little brother straddling in a pool of blood. She kicks and screams in attempt to run back into her brother's arms but such attempts render the girl useless. She reacts in the only way she can....

She bites the young man's hand and dashes towards her late brother. Tears flow freely down the girls rosy cheeks. The pain is evident in her eyes. She gently places her brothers head on her lap and caresses his bruised face removing stray strands of blood covered hair. The girl breaks down further,now letting out strangled screams of pain. Still stained with dry tears the girl lies next to her late brother and wraps his frail arms around her.

A masculine figure picks up the little girl, his identity hidden behind a hoodie.

I jerk up gasping for air as a thick layer of sweat hovers over my body almost as if a second skin. Shuddering at the thought of my dream I slip out of the tangled sheets and walk numbly to my balcony that was situated high above the vast colours of flowers.

I scanned my surroundings and took in the scent of the fresh morning dew .The morning dew settled perfectly onto the petals of the tulips that surrounded the house. Everything at this moment seems perfect.

The sight of nature has always seemed to have calmed me. Memories of my dream still linger in my train of thought. I've been having the same dream, every night since my 14th birthday and if anything it's seems to have gotten worse. I've never really seen their faces clearly, their identities hidden, reminding me of my occupation as 'The Raven '. Over time I have learnt to adapt to the nightmare but it always seems to leave me cowering in fear every morning.

I took in a deep breathe to relax me.

Ummm, Zack's baking again.

The aroma of freshly baked cake leaves my senses tingling.

Tracing the spaces between the bricks,I made my way to the kitchen.

"Charlie!!!!!"squealed Lacy as she ran towards me.

"Geuss what" she said as she jumped on me.

"What" I smiled as I twirled her around.

"Zach taught me how to bake a chocolate cake " she said excitedly

"Oh did he now ?" I asked raising an eyebrow at Zach.

"I just pulled it out of the oven a few minutes ago. Would you like a slice?" Inquired Zach as he reached for a knife.

"Of coarse I want a slice, you dimwit" I said as I smacked the back of Zach's head.

Yelping, he glared at me and pulled the freshly baked goodness towards him.

"Now you will never get a slice" he stated smugly.

"Come on, your my big brother, do your little sis a good food solid" I replied pouting.

"What's in it for me ?" He asked curiously

"How bout I take you and Lacy out for ice cream later?" I replied
