On a stormy night on their way home from the hospital after the birth of their first child,Erika aka Ellie, in high spirits the couple were about to raise her, but the happy atomsphere would not last. At that moment the car was crashed into(the driver of the other car was intoxicated)by a foolish teen. Only two casualties were from that night: one from the mother of Ellie and the other was drunken driver.
"Docter isnt there anything you could do to save my wife?" "Im sorry sir but with head on collision like that the chance of survival was slim. Im amazed that you and your daughter had survived."
"And my little girl what of her, any injuries?" "Unfortunately, yes sir. The impact caused a fractured skull and some brain damage. She will live and grow but slower than others." Still in shock, the man uttered "Thank you docter"
Few weeks later at the funeral of his wife, the man promised on her grave that he shall protect their daughter from everything that will hurt her.
Few years later,he did just that, (but in order to protect her, he had to give up his habits such as drinking and smoking just to make sure Erika was safe) he also but some firearms to protect her just in case. But becuase of Erika's handicap she was isolated from the others her age. Erika grew up were she was called a freak, a monster, ugly, and was told she had no reason to exist.
So to counter this, they both went to church so they ask god to protect her from the cruel children tormenting her.
