(Dwyer's Head Mansion)

There are two little girls in the age of five (5), happily raving from a garden full of different kinds of flowers in the backyard of Dwyer's Mansion. Not far from the two girls there was a woman wearing white summer dress standing inside of the Dwyer's balcony with her husband standing beside her. 

"Azriel, Freyja stop playing and go inside, it's hot out there..." The woman said sweetly. 

When two little girls heard their mother's voice. They immediately run straight at them and welcome them a warm hug. The woman and her husband smile at them while guiding the two little girls inside their mansion.

They live a lively and peaceful life but in one unfortunate night destroyed the harmony...  The peaceful mansion once filled with laughter, now filled with terror screams and gunshots. The Couple run to their two children's room while holding guns. They have scratches all over their body.

"Andrea, hide the children now..." The husband said to his wife, while peaking that the door, checking if there was enemies outside the room. Andrea nodded, she guide her children to a secret room while comforting the two girls, who are confused what is happening.

"Mom, What's happening?" Freyja asked her mother. 

"It's nothing dear don't worry everything will be fine..." Andrea Console her daughter. while patting Freyja's head. 

"B-but there was many men outside Mom, they are holding guns..." Azriel confusely said, while pointing at the monitor in the secret room. 

"O-Oh that is a movie, that is not true..." Andrea Explain.

"But Daddy..." Andrea turn stiff and look at the monitor. She saw her husband fighting with the men in black and he was covered with blood. Andrea trembled and panic. 

"Ssh... Azriel, Freyja promise me one thing..." Andrea said, while holding the two. "No matter what happened please, stay alive. You must survive..." 

"Yes Mom, we understand..." the two girls answered without hesitation. Andrea nodded with satisfaction to her daughters. "Now, Mom will go outside and help yung Daddy to fight the bad guys... stay here alright?" Azriel and Freyja nodded with unison. Andrea kiss her Daughter's foreheads before exiting the room.

She run to her husband side and helped him to kill the men wearing a black mask.    

"Are they safe?" Her husband asked. 

"Yes, you don't have to worry Hubby" She sweetly answered. they are hiding in a pillar while their enemy continued to shoot at them. Andrea's husband sigh and check his bullet in his magazine and saw there was few bullets left. 

"Honey, how many bullets you have left?" 

"I have 4 bullets left. hahaha, looks like we're out of luck today" she bitterly said to her husband. 

"I wish, we can watch our Daughters grow...  but..." he sigh "It won't happening huh..."

"Hubby... I love you, and even in next life I will love you..."

"Me too, Andrea... I will always love you and the girls. We don't have to worry about them because they are not ordinary girls, they mature quickly and think like adults. I know that even they don't have us, they will live a peaceful life..." Andrea nodded with agreement to her husband. "Are you ready?"

"Yes..." Andrea answered, then the couple engage with their battles until their death. while Freyja and Azriel watch them in the monitor crying...          

They saw how their parents fight and got shot by the men wearing a mask. They clearly saw a tattoo of a star with a skull inside, imprinted on one part of their body. Azriel and Freyja bodies trembled not because of fear but rage. Their bloodshot eyes turn into blood thirsty animal, looking for their prey.

"How dare they kill our parents!" Freyja outrage, she push the chair with all her might and make a loud 'thud' noise in the room.

"Freyja, Calm down..." Azriel calmly said to her sister.

"HOW COULD I CALM DOWN! T-THEY KILL OUR PARENTS! OUR PARENTS!!!" Freyja yelled, while her tears continued to roll down to her chubby cheeks. Azriel hug her sister to comfort her. 

"Don't worry sister...They will pay what they have done..." Azriel said, while patting her sister back. "But for now... we must think how to survive and find who killed our parents. alright?" Freyja nodded in response. "I promise you that..." there was furious glint in Azriel's eyes while staring to the men with mask walking away in the monitor. 

After that incident, their relatives fight each other, who will become their guardian. not because they cared about them, but they after their wealth.

*****

(After 2 years...) 

"Hi Azriel and Freyja. I'am Isabel Celino, your Father's biological sister. from now on I will take care of you two" A beautiful woman said with her sweet voice, She was in 30's but she looks like 20's. She was wearing flashy clothes. While Azriel and Freyja now is 8 years old. They are silently sitting on a couch.  

"Hmph! take care? are you serious Isabel? you can't even take care of your own husband. oh I know, you covet their wealth like the others." One of their Uncle snorted, while looking at Isabel with disdain. 

He hit on Isabel's sore spot. She neglect her husband and her duties as a wife for Casino. because of that, her husband found a mistress. Now her husband, his mistress and their new born child living together. while her was in the edge of divorce.    

"Brother Denos you are just jealous because you also want Brother Frans money right?" Isabel smugly said. with her hands cross below her chest. 

"Psh! No, I don't. I have my own company why would I want Brother Frans money and are you not afraid to die?" Denos argued. In the past 2 years, three Dwyer branch family all die in accident while take caring Azriel and Freya. Hearing this, other family branch scared to look after the twins, because they believe that this twins are cursed.    

"Hah! you are just coward. You really believe that rumors?! ha! ha! ha!" Isabel answered. "Psh! Let's go now, Azriel and Freyja I'll take you home..." she said. They didn't said anything, Azriel and Freyja silently get in the car with their new guardian.

'What a hypocrite woman' Azriel rolled her eyes at Isabel secretly.

'What a Gold digger' Freyja sneer, while looking at her Aunt.  

At the age of Eight, the two girls already knew how greedy their relatives. So they distance themselves and learned not to trust anyone except themselves...
