I've always been told to value my family. To love and cherish them. I always did until one frightful day that my entire family collapsed and it was my fault. But was it really? ------------------------------ When Alessia Accardo was 10 years old, she was framed for her mothers death that was set up by her aunt and twin sister. For two years, Alessia's older brothers, sister, father and aunt put her through constant abuse to relieve themselves from the pain of their loss until one day, Alessia overheard her father planning on sending her away the very next day to a place she's terrified of. Having no choice, Alessia ran away from her home, leaving that painstaking childhood behind. Fast forward to four years later, Alessia is no longer that naive little girl, now she is a force to be reckoned with, becoming the number one street fighter and assassin of all time. Despite all this, Alessia's paranoia still lingers with her to this day that her family will one day find her and take her back. But knowing Alessia, she's determined to not let that happen.

What do you get when you mix two serial killers together? The most hated kid in town, that's what. You know what else you get right? Another killer to take their place. And guess who it's after. The kid who made up the rules of the game to begin with. How does that quote go again... Oh yes. Let the games begin. ---- I held it out to show him but he was still confused. "This," I said pointing to everything. "this was made by a 7 year old. I figured out how to make a secret code for myself and your looking at it." I tried my best to explain it to them. When you think about it, you'd think its not something a seven year old would come up with. It was something my dad taught me. He had a map and would point to a place and explain to me how to find its coordinates. He hadn't really expected me to pick it up so easily. Especially making a game out of it.
