Well, just my mom, my dad and I. I didn't have any siblings or anything. At one point I did meet this little girl but I couldn't really remember what she looked like. I'm positive if I ever saw her again I'll be able to recognize her though.
Anyways, I always believed that I had the world's best parents.
I loved them a whole lot! They loved me too.
We did everything together and they taught me everything I needed to know. It was all perfect... but nothing lasts.

It was quiet, so very quiet.
That was until the father came running through the grass while holding his daughter tightly and was followed by his wife. His heart thumped loudly in his chest as the adrenaline ran through his body.
They came up to a small opening on the wall. Stomping a bit in defeat the father looked back to see the two liolfs (lion and wolf creature I made up. It has a wolf head, a lion head, two tails and a lion body) jump onto some rocks not too far away. They were searching for them.
He grabbed his wife's hand then hid behind one of the rocks, hoping that the predators would go away. His wife held onto his hand desperately as she swallowed thickly and wanted to be safe. Their daughter, in her father's arms, started to cry a bit. She could sense her parents distress and it made her nervous. The wife looked down at her daughter in her husband's arms and tried to calm her. The father looked over the rock only to see the predators looking at him.
They both growled then started to run towards them. He gasped then got up pushing his daughter and wife to the wall. "Go! Go! Take her and go! I love you both! Go!"
The wife didn't have time to argue with him. She took her daughter's hand and gently pushed her towards the small opening. Luckily, her daughter understood and was able to squeeze through the opening followed by her mom. Just in time too.
The daughter was scared and wanted to go back for her dad but her mom stopped her and saved her from the liolf's sharp claws. She picked up her daughter and ran. There was a yell and a roar and the mother could tell that her husband was no more. She cried but so did her daughter. "Daddy..." she held out her hand towards the way she came.
There was a different roar and the daughter saw, now one, liolf jumped over the wall and began making their way towards them. They were great climbers so it's no wonder how the liof got over the wall so easily.
The mother was mentally panicking. She didn't physically show it but she was. She sped up and had come to a dead end again. She quickly looked from side to side and tried to think of the best route to safety.
She put her daughter on the wall. "Go climb!" Her daughter started to climb the wall and succeeded. Her mother was right behind her. It wasn't until the last rock gave in and her mother slipped. "Mommy!" The mother caught herself from falling all the way down.
The daughter was scared for her mom and watched as the predator was coming fast and was more than likely seeking revenge for their friend.
The daughter got teary eyed. "Take my hand!" She reached out to her mother and her mom took her hand. The mother would've pulled up if she thought it made sense to. When the mother didn't pull up the daughter tried to pull her up only to fail. "Come on!"
Now, the predator was only going to follow them again and again if they weren't stopped here. They knew how to climb and do other more advanced things making them one of the smartest predators around.
The mother knew what she had to do. It broke her heart but it was the right thing to do.
The mother brought her hand to her daughter's face and caressed it as the daughter leaned into her mother's touch while crying.
"Listen to me my baby, tomorrow is out there somewhere, you have to find it. Be brave and live on for me my darling. The light is your guide. Take this to remember us, whenever you feel lonely or anything, just hold it tightly. We'll always be there for you. Remember that I will always love you," said her mom. The little girl sobbed as her mom retracted her hand. Her mom put a shell/rock necklace with a locket around her neck. She kissed her head.
"Now go."
The liolf jumped up and swiped at her leg but the mother kicked it away.
"But-!"
"Go!"
Her daughter frowned but still got up and ran away while her mother jumped down off the wall and made sure her daughter wasn't followed but her life had ended as well.
The daughter ran, tripping a bit, as she wiped her tears knowing she was now alone. She clutched the locket hanging from her neck.
She was indeed alone now at a young age but she promised that she'll find tomorrow one day, be brave and keep living for them.
After a while being alone, she met the Croods and they took her in as their own and her life went on.
But she will never forget her parents and will forever love them.
