Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Mia baby take your brother, go run and hide. Don't look back" Her mother Elizabeth said with a calm voice. But her expression showed it all. Fear in her eyes with a flash of determination that Mia saw. Hands quivering, eyebrows scrunched at an arch. She looked back at the house. The shots were heard louder with a ringing echo left behind every shot fired. Elizabeth looked back at Mia and pushed her away into the forest behind their house.
Mia ran as fast as she could with Liam in her hands.She heard three more bangs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
She saw her mother's lifeless body fall to the ground as she screamed in agony.
Mia ran…..

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The alarm clock went off. I see the time, 5:00am. I groan. Today is the anniversary of my parents death. I had another nightmare about it, sometimes I feel like I should just sleep for eternity, but I have to take care of the only family I have left, Liam. I get up, take a shower, and get dressed. I walk down stairs to the kitchen and start making breakfast, a full english breakfast. Once I was done I got Liam's backpack ready for his first day of school. Sneaking into Liam's room wasn't that hard, he sleeps like a log, you just can't wake him up. But I have to try.
" Liam get your little booty out of bed!" I yelled
He rolled over with a frown on but still didn't wake up.
"Your going to be late for your first day!!" I yelled louder
He got up into sitting position, he looked so tired. I felt bad. He didn't look fazed at all; I wondered how he became like this. He was taking too much time so I carried him to the bathroom and gave him a bath, dressed him, and finally I was done. We went downstairs to eat breakfast. Ding Dong! Ding Dong! I went to look at the security camera at the front of the gate. It was my personal assistant. I buzzed her in and went back to eat breakfast with Liam.
"How did you sleep?" I asked
"It was good, I had a dream about the first day of school and how great it would be!" he smiled brightly, I smiled right back at him. The door opened to the dining room and Shera, my PA came in.
"Good morning Young Mistress, Young Master." she said while bowing.
"Good morning Shera" me and Liam say in unison. We looked at each other and started laughing. I hoped today would be a good day for Liam at school and for me at the company. It was the beginning of something new and exciting.
