「tuesday, 20 sept.
4 hours to go」

I didn't go to school. Today was the day I'd be getting her back.

Anna.

My little Anna.

She's probably all grown up now. She was turning 11 today.

I thought.

Just hang in there lil sis. I'm coming for you. Just wait a little longer.

I washed the dry tears off my face and dried myself with a towel.

I ate for the first time after what had happened and went upstairs to gear up.

I tied my hair in a ponytail and took a deep breath, staring at the view through the window.

I thought about the different ways that day could go while doing a list of everyhing I needed.

□ 1 Gun belt
□ 1 9MM pistol
□ 1 Revolver
□ 2 knives
□ 1 Shorty
□ Ammo.

Dom, Luke and Michelle were in charge of bigger guns such as the shotguns and the sniper rifles.

We had agreed on a somewhat complicated plan before the sun rised.

"They want me to go alone" I said

"And what? Do you think we'll really let you go by yourself?" Dom raised an eyebrow and asked as if the answer was that obvious.

"You guys have done too much for me already." I shook my head and crossed my arms.

"We're family, Raine. And this is what we do" Michelle smiled as she placed her hand on mine.

I flashed a small smile and nodded.

Luke cleared his throat and set the rifle on the table, explaining his plan.

Every single word Luke said was crystal clear to me and was stuck in my brain like glue as I thanked them endlessly, in my heart.

We practised our shooting in the basement, where we had everything we needed to protect ourselves.

Shootings echoed throughout the entire room.

Michelle and I worked on our aiming while Dom and Luke practised their punches.

As we practised, we unexpectedly heard a knock.

We exchanged looks and began walking towards the door, only to be stopped by Dom, the alpha.

"Who is it." He asked sternly. His deep voice the only thing that was heard in the entire room.

Michelle and I aimed at the door with our guns as Luke walked over to him.

"1,2,3" He mouthed and opened the door in a swing.

We were about to pull the trigger and Dom was about to throw a punch, when we realized it was just Ethan standing there.

Dom sighed and shook his head in disbelief.

"The next time I ask, you answer, kid. Understood?" He aimed the knife at him, warning him sternly.

Ethan only nodded and he was dismissed. He walked over me, and gave me a side hug.

"You didn't think I would be missing the fun, did you?" He flashed a small smirk, raising his gun.
