Nico Di Angelo 8 years old

8 years ago...

"Hurry up Nico! They're gonna find us!" Bianca shouts at me as I jump in a random bush.

After we ran away from the orphanage, nobody has come looking for us. We're just worthless brats anyway so why would we matter, why would somebody take up their precious time to look for rats that have ran away? Though there has been a few people who have been interested in us, luckily, I have my big sister.

"Nico please try to be more quiet, they're bad people, they could do anything to us. You never know who you're dealing with here!" She scolds me.

"Bianca, what would they do to you if they got you?" I ask, afraid of the answer yet too curious not to ask.

"I wouldn't like to imagine that, and neither would you." She smiles down at me, as she's grown older, she's began to look more and more like my mother.

Bianca's kind hearted and would rather kill herself rather than a complete stranger be killed. I wish I was like Bianca, being able to help someone else without thinking about the benefits.

"I can hear her in that bush!" A man shouts, his rough voice making me shake in fear.

"Hey Nico, if I get taken away, don't come looking for me no matter what, promise me that?" She asks me, her smile faltering slightly. "Why? Where are you going?" I ask, worried for Bianca.

"No where, not yet, just promise me." She said, her voice cracking.

"Okay, I promise. Just promise me you'll always be by my side?" I ask her, hoping she would agree to the promise.

"I'll always be with you, even if I die." We shook our hands together, only Bianca knew that this was the last time that we would ever do this. Knowing that, yet again, she was going to sacrifice herself for somebody else.

She stands up, her whole body shaking with fear, or was it anger? As the man grabbed her, she screams loudly, yet nobody will hear. Her body shakes violently as she tries to fight, her last words I ever heard her say where. 'Go'

My body shakes violently as I rush to get up, running across the park at full speed, hoping to lose the men I will hate for the rest of my life.

In my hand, was a beaded necklace. Bianca's beaded necklace.
