"What are they gonna to me, mom?" Said Alexa, who sat alone on the couch in their living room as her stomach ached in anxiety. Her mother was beside the TV that was a few feet in front of her. Her mother turned to her and then walked to Alexa to kneel down to her level as she tucked a strand of her brown hair. Alexa looked straight into her mother's blue eyes that she as well had.
Her mother smiled sadly. "I don't know, but I'm sure they'll take good care of you."
"Alright... Of course... We'll get her ready." Alexa heard his father in the background as he hung up on the phone. He saw Alexa and then smiled sadly as well. He walked towards them and knelt down to Alexa's level as well. His hand went up to her cheek and he ca-ressed it gently and slowly frowned. "You're... too young." His voice shook as he said it. Alexa's mother looked away for awhile then back again to give her to a tight hug. Her father joined in and she could hear their slight muffles and sobs. They were trying to keep it together. Of course they were. Alexa hugged them back, but she did not cry. She didn't quite understand the situation yet. Of course she was still 10 years old and not even a teenager yet.
Suddenly, someone was banging at the front door loudly and everyone stopped crying. "Hide her quick." Her father said, sternly.
"But what if–"
"Just hide her." He cut her off. "I'll deal with them."
Alexa's mother just nodded and hurried Alexa off to the attic. Alexa heard her father open the door as he talked to the people who were there. Alexa and her mother made it just in time in the attic and her mother had her hand over her mouth. Alexa's heart was pumping fast and maybe even so loud that her mother can hear it.
BANG!
Her heart skipped a beat as she heard that very loud bang. She wasn't sure if it was fire-works or a gun. She only heard a gunshot once or twice in her life, but she sure hoped that it was fireworks that fired. She heard her mother gasped and then she was instantly pulled up by her mother. Her mother peaked through the door for a moment and then she opened it and pulled her with her. There house was quite big, but not too big though. They ran across their hallway to the front door, but they stopped when someone held her mother by the arm, pulling her away from Alexa. She saw that several guards in all black took hold of her mother, who was kicking and screaming, demanding that they let her go. Alexa tried to get through the buff guards that held her mother, but her mother told her to stay away. Alexa didn't know what to do next, but to walk backwards. Then she tripped on something hard making her fall. Her hand felt wet and she looked at it to see blood printed on her hand. She stood up immediately in fear as she looked down to check what she tripped on. And to her horror she saw her father on laying limp on the front door. A pool of blood surrounding him. The worst part of it all was that his eyes were open and it showed a look of frozen shock that would paint his face forever.
"ALEXA, LOOK AWAY!" Her mother shouted, but it was too late. She saw everything clearly and right before her eyes. It was almost impossible to look away. Another loud bang that was so close that it made her ears ring. She turned to see where the source was and she saw her mother with the same look of shock as her father. A gun was pointed at the back of her head. She feel, knees on the floor, until finally her whole body faced the floor and Alexa saw a big bloody hole at the back of her head. Blood was dripping and squirting everywhere, and all Alexa could do was stare in horror.
Alexa was breathing faster, her heart was pumping hard, the world seemed to stop. "MOMMY!" She screamed, tears started flowing. Faint sounds of marching and walking and shouting were heard and it was like they were in slow motion. She felt someone pull her by the arm as she looked up to see a blonde woman who was looking at her now dead parents with a look of disgust.
