*Alex above*

~Alexandria's P.O.V.~

"Hey my name is Niall, what's your name?" The yellow-haired man asked me. Should I tell him my name? Starlin seems to trust them so I decide to trust them too... kind of...

"Alexandria..." I say quietly

"That's a beautiful name! Do you think you could come down here to me and we can help you?" Niall asks. I shake my head no. He can have my name, but I don't trust him enough to go near him

"Awe! Why not?" Niall asked asking like he was pouting, that made her smile a bit

"Are you sure? I'm very nice I promise!" Niall said

"I don't want you to huwt me" she I say frowning and crossing my arms.

"Oh! I'm not gonna hurt you! Never in a billion years!" he exclaimed. What is a billion? It my be something big to have such a long name.Slowly, I walk out from behind the tree and Niall and the brown-hair man gasp. They must have seen the Bruins mommy and daddy gave me

"You poor thing!" the brown-hair man said quietly

"Oh Alexandria...what happened to you?" Niall asked me. I looked down at my small, bare feet

"Mommy and Daddy huwt us. They no wuv us" I said as I began to cry at the memory

"Hey look at me, we won't let anyone hurt you" Niall said as I looked up at him

"Come on, pleeeeeaaase trust me" he whined in a childish voice making me smile. Slowly I walked toward him, still being sure to keep out of his arm's reach. When he leaned down to try to pick me up, I backed away from him

"Come on, trust me please. I promise I'll help you" Niall said quietly. Slowly I nodded and walked into his arms. He lifted me off the ground and sat me on his hip

"Ready to go?" the brown-hair man asked Star and I. I slowly nodded still unsure. Niall and the man started to head up the bank, but found it was too steep to carry us up with them. The brown-haired man looked at the little girl and then at the bank

"Alright, I'm gonna set you up there and then come up and get you again, I promise I will never leave you" the brown-haired man said pointing to the bank. She slowly nodded and the man lifted Star and set her on the grass above the bank. He climbed up and sat me on the grass once Niall handed me to him. Then, he picked up Star, and began talking to her as I watched Niall climb up toward me. I think I heard the man says his nae was Ashton or Ash for short. Niall picked me up and grabbed his jacket, handing it to Ashton so that he could wrap it around Star's shivering, wet body along with his own. We all walked toward a place I didn't know.

"Hey! there they are!" one man exclaimed as we approached them

"Told you we weren't lying!" another man said. At new voices Starlin and I sat up and looked around with wild and scared eyes

"Hey, it's ok!" Niall spoke softly to me. The starnge men we'd found ran up to us and crowded around asking questions and saying stuff. Lots of stuff. All at once

"She so cute!"

"How old are they?"

"What's their names?"

"What happened?!"

I clamped my hands over my ears at all the noise. Then I heard Starlin scream. I began to squirm in Niall's arms to get away from these strange men.

"Guys! you have to be careful! She is terrified" Ashton said as Star began to cry. All the men became silent

"Shhh it's ok sweetheart they won't hurt you! They're our friends! They're nice!" Star nodded and laid her head down on Ashton's chest
