BEACON HILLS , CALIFORNIA.

THE constant beeping sounding through the house let the nine year old know that their house was on fire.

Not that she couldn't already tell from the burning flames that started to make their way up the house. She quickly crawled out of her bedroom and tried to make her way out but all of the exits were blocked by walls of fire which were impossible to get through, even for a werewolf.

"MARIAH!" She heard somebody yell.

"PETER?" She yelled back thinking of the only other male in the house at the time. "I'm stuck!" She cried out as a beam fell from the high ceiling blocking her exit.

"I'm coming, just stay there okay? You're going to be fine just try not to breathe in too much" She heard her Uncle reply.

She heard his voice before she saw him emerge from the flames "I'm going to get you out, but you have to trust me okay?" He tell her as he picks her up walking through the hallway trying his best to avoid anything falling on them.

They reach a bedroom which doesn't seem to of had much damage done to it. Peter sets her down on the bed before making quick work of trying to find a safe escape.

"Peter?" She whispered as she looked over at him as he started to gathered all the sheets before pushing them up against the door.

"Yes, sweetheart"

"Where's Mommy and Cora?" She asked scared not really sure if she wanted the answer.

"I'm not sure...but as soon as we get you out I'm going to find them." He walked over to her and crouched down running his hands through her hair before holding his hand out for her to take.

"Okay" She mumbled as she wiped away a stray tear before taking his hand.

He led her over to the broken window and looked down. "Right, I'm going to need you to jump. It's going to be okay there's some bushes that will break your fall, I'm going to try and find the others. I'll be right behind you" He reassured her as she slowly stepped up to the window, she hesitated and turned back for a second.

"You promise?" She asks the man.

"I promise" He swears knowing that he wasn't sure he would manage to make it out alive but one thing was for certain that he would try to save this little girl and the rest of his family first.

Mia took a shaky breath as she looked down. For a nine year old it was a pretty long jump but she knew this was the only way she could survive, so she squeezed her eyes shut and jumped. A few seconds later she fell hard in some bushes before dusting herself off she looked up at the window to see that Peter had already gone and decided to make her way to the front of the house hoping that maybe her Mom and sister were there.

She waited for a long time before she saw someone struggling she ran over to help to see that it was Peter.

"Peter?! Did you find them, Did you find Mommy and Cora?" She asked him sounding hopeful but as soon as she looked into the older mans eyes she knew the answer.

Peter tried to lead her out already feeling himself become weak, he could barely stand. But something caught her eye and she ripped herself from his grip before running back into the house.

"Mr. Bear!" She shouted as she reached the stuffed bear, Peter looked back in shock he could see the beam above her begin to become loose.

"Mariah, No!" He warned her but it was too late. The beam broke off and came down on top of her igniting her in flames as she screamed.

With the last of his strength Peter raced over to her, he threw the beam off of her fragile body making sure that there were no flames left before running out of the building carrying her over his back.

The house began to fall down just as they escaped and Peters body fell to the floor along with Mia who now laid unconscious.
