Chapter One

Sophia

The first thing that would come to my mind right now is how life changes, just six years ago I felt like my life was perfect, that nothing can go wrong. Boy was i wrong, now I only feel betrayed, betrayed that my Dad would do that to me. Pain, pain that I never get to see my Mom again and mostly regret, regret that I couldn't help my Mom when I could've saved her.

Shivering, I pulled my leather jacket close around my small frame, breathing out, a pool of white mist formed in front of my face. My footsteps were the only sound in the dark alleyway, i was currently walking through. I wasn't scared that I might die by freezing to death, this is my new life.

Looking around my surrounding, I tried to find a place to sleep, it was empty ally but i finally found a small spot behind a dumpster. Crouching down, I crawled into the small space, huddling close to the wall as I tried to warm my body. I closed my eyes, and tried to imaginin the comfort of a bed I never have, the smell of hot chocolate, and the warmth of a fire.

I was suddenly forced back to reality by a sound of foot step, crouching a little lower I peek around the dumpster to see who the footstep belong to.

A girl around my age was looking around wildly, her eyes as wide as saucer. I couldn't help but feeling happy, I never had a friend before I ran away, I always been alone, and seeing a girl my age only bring me hope that I might have a friend. 'you can't become close to anyone, they only bring you pain and leave you' I couldn't help the thoughts of having people die around me, I had one live one die, I couldn't have another.

Looking at the girl, i took her in, she had long blond hair that went to mid back itwas curly giving her an innocent look, she was currently wearing a hoody and some sweats that looked way to big on her, her bright blue eyes were glistening with unshed tears and her lower lip was quivering.

The girl brang me back from my thought by backed up to the wall just a foot away from me.

"It be okay, you be okay, Ethan or Noah will come save me" she wispered so faint that I barly heard her. ' Who are the people she talking about, of corse they won't save her from what ever she running from, its just me and her' I began to feel pity not only for her, but me to,if she dies she have someone who miss her I won't. 'if she dies, you can save her from what ever she running from'

The sound of voice yelling in the distance pulled me from my thought. 'she in trouble help her' was the only thing I was thinking in the moment, but what if she one of them? How can i help her? The voices were coming closer, And I started to panic, risk my life or hers?

Looking at the girl, I knew what I had to do, sighing I looked at the girl, trying not to make any noises.

Crawling out of my hiding place, I notice the girl still didn't notice me, 'maby I can pull her into the crawle space I was just in, to be big enough for the both of us' with that thought in my head I quickly grabbed the girl, covering her mouth with my hand while my ather arm snaked around her waist,when i did that she started squirming and screaming, thrashing in my arms.

"Shh you attack attaintion" I whispered into her ear, smiling when she started to relax, guess she notice i wasn't the bad guys, quickly pulling her into the small space I was in, I let go of her mouth only for her to quickly turn and face me.

"who are-" I cut her off my putting a hand to her mouth, the voices were now closer so I could vaguely hear them, I couldn't have her cover blown or mine.

"Where did she go?" a deep male voice yelled, it was followed my footsteps, I notice the girl start to get scared so I give her a small smile telling her its okay, hoping it help.
