It's been thirteen years since my parents were murdered. Even though I was three it's the most vivid memory I have. I don't even remember what my mom and dad look like, but I have one picture of them. It was a few months after I was born. From the picture I could see they were very happy and in love. I live with my grandmother now and she tells me a lot of stories about my mom and dad when they were "young and in love" as she likes to say.
Ever since that night, after Joe rescued me, I've lived with my grandma. The guys from that night were trying to kidnap me for reasons that are still unknown to me. So I live with my grandma and we never stay in one city for more than a year. She says if we stay any longer they'll be able to find us. It sucks because I can't really make friends because I know I won't be around for long. It's kind of lonely with just Joe, my grandma and I.
Usually I'm the loner in the background but recently a boy named Keno decided to befriend me. I told him we shouldn't be friends because it would put him in a lot of danger but he won't listen. I really can't complain though, it's nice to kind of have a friend. If my life is like this now I wonder what it'll be like ten years from now. If I'm still living.
