In the middle of the night, there was suddenly a creak. Skylar slept peacefully in her crib, not knowing that her life was about to change. She normally slept next to her sister, but Skye had been crying loudly all night so their parents took her into their room. This didn't bother Skylar, considering that Skye was annoying anyways, but tonight things were different. Although she was just a baby, the shadows seemed longer, the night darker. Skylar was beginning to wish her parents would take her to their room too.

Then suddenly, there was a bang from the hallway. Skylar heard her mother scream. "What's happening?" Thought Skylar. She could hear shouting and pounding footsteps heading for her room. The door burst open and three strange men ran inside followed by her father. They were dressed completely in black and they all carried guns. Skylar screamed and began to cry. Who were these people? Her father pushed the others out of the way and ran forward to grab her. Without warning, one of the strange men raised his gun and shot her father in the back with a bang. As he fell to the floor, Skylar hit her head and every thing went black...

When Skylar woke up, she could see her father lying in a pool of his own blood. She was in the arms of a strange man with all black clothes, a gun, and oily black hair. There were two other men with him. They were outside in the middle of the night, walking towards a black sedan. Skylar was confused until she remembered the scene from earlier inside the house. She recognized the man as the one who had shot her father and began screaming and crying. "Someone make this baby shut up" the man holding her growled. He passed Skylar to the man on his left and gave the other man instructions to hold her still while he put her to sleep. The black haired man pulled out a long syringe filled with mysterious clear liquid and injected it into Skylar's arm.

Everything started going blurry. Skylar stopped crying and began to relax. Everything will be all right, she thought, after I have a little nap... Skylar began to snore lightly. There was a thud as the man holding her climbed into the rear seat of the black sedan. As Skylar fell asleep to the sound of the purring car engine, the last thing she remembered was seeing a patch on the arm of the black haired man's jacket; a skull as the face of a hydra.
