On a dark night Mr and Mrs Smith are seen in running up and down the house in panic while their confused daughter Alexa just sat and watched scared and hugging her teddy bear tight.

'they are here ' said Mr.smith

'what do we do , Alexa will be in trouble' hurries towards Alexa with a pityful expression on her face.

' mummy what's wrong ' confused and scared.

' don't worry my dear everything will be fine.. just be strong for mummy okay' smiles as she cups Alexa's face in her palms.

'come on honey we can't waste anymore time they're coming' loading the magazine ofhis AK-47

Mrs.smith holdsout her pistol and quickly locks the back door and ready to shoot.

Soon the invaders found their way through the door and they began the feast of killing. As this went on they both saw that the invaders were trying to go into the house , Mrs Smith immediately ran to her daughter and held her face

' listen to me Alexa , mummy loves you okay 'tears rolls down her cheeks

' mummy why are you crying' feeling sad

' I'm not sad at all, I'm all good hmm now come on we've gotta go' she said grabbing her hand and pulling her away through the back door. Alexa watched her father shoot with all his might although he was at the brink of death. Finally before they disappeared he turned and smiled then dropped dead. Alexa kept staring as he mother pulled her with her trying her best not to cry.

Running through the bushes being chased by group of men were Alexa and her mother till they were corned on a cliff leading to a vast body of water. Alexa's mother stopped and turned to protect her child with all her might. She shot at every forthcoming individual till her magazine was empty and was then held with her child by those men.

'well, well, well Everline, you're quite something' a man with a Scorpio tattoo on his neck side with silky gold hair lying on his shoulder with a lit cigarettes in between his index and middle finger walked up to them with long strides in what seems like forever. Mrs Smith just glared at him. He turned to Alexa then smirked

'what a beautiful kid you've got here' he gently tucked Alexa curly brown hair behind her ear ' how old are you?' he asked Alexa with a smile .

'3 years old' she said looking him directly in his eyes then he smiled 'wow you're such a big girl right?' Alexa just stared and he then continued

'she is 3 years old, I think this is the fourth year since we last met at California ' he said then inhaled sharply. 'It's alright, for the sake of your child I'll let you go, if... you give me what I want' he smiled warmly at her.

' you know what Richard, you're just gonna go round in circles but I won't change my mind, go to hell with your compassion' she retorted

' things aren't gonna end well if you continue like this especially for your child' he buttressed the last part

' fuck you ' she said after spitting saliva to his face 'aye' he wiped of the saliva with a handkerchief then slapped her and placd a pistol on her head ' fuck me , yay' he gritted his teeth. She struggles to get free but the men held her firmly and Richard nodded at them and and they released them both.

' okay now let's talk like adults that we are huh' Mrs Smith smiles ' what's so funny?' suddenly she picked her daughter, Alexa and flyng her into the air with her utmost strength. Alexa was shocked and scared but didn't show it she was looked at her mother wide-eyed and she smiled back at her

'you know what Richard, you still remained a coward after all these years' she said then tried to turn but got shot in chest , Alexa's heart sank, Mrs Smith smiled and then whispered- I love you- before she dropped to the ground. Alexa's felt the event replaying as a horrible nightmare as light gradually drew farther away from her, she was drowning.

Richard drops the gun and hurries to Mrs Smith and held her In his arms then held her jaw gently lifting her chin to look at him ' you shouldn't have made me Everline, you shouldn't' he bit his lips hard and she just smiled weakly. He leaned in and kissed her lips passionately, it's been four years since he had tasted her and now she is dying in his arms. He broke the kiss and stared into her eyes ' you should let go of your feelings Richard, I will always belong to Smith' she as weakly then gave up the ghost, believing strongly in her daughter,that she'll survive.

Richard clenched his fist tightly, feeling helpless he stood up after gently laying her on the ground.

'sir how about the little girl' one if his men asked

' there's no way the kid can swim just let her die there, but just keep watching out in case' he said in slow tone and they nodded. She took out a stick of cigarette and lit it the smoked as he strode away with his men following behind.

Alexa woke up finding herself in a strange bedroom, trying to recall how she got here but her memory stopped at how her mother was killed. She walked of the room to find a middle aged woman happily folding her clothes. The woman then noticed her presence

' oh you're awake already' the ladies expression suddenly changed as she looked at her. ' daddy look the girls awake!' she heard a kid shout and she turned to see a middle aged man carrying a baby girl around her age in his hand and holding the boy who just shouted

'well that's good' he smiled at Alexa. The kid hurries to her ' what's your name?'

' name's Alexa, I'm 3 years old, mom told me dad love the name that's why I was named Alexa, besides what's your own name?' she said Innocently , the kid smiled.

' well I'm marco Armstrong,5 years,that's my sister Katerina,2 years old, my dad and my mom. And from now own I'll be your older brother' he smiled at her.

' okay then, if you're willing to share them with me I don't mind' she smiled at him and he smiled back

' now you two kids come over here' Mr Armstrong said squatting and they both came him and he hugged them. ' then from now on you should call me dad and call her mom' he said to Alexa and she nodded

' hey dad, you smell fishy you've got something up your sleeve' Mr Armstrong chuckles. 'ah you're so smart , from now on you'll be my favorite daughter' he said pinching her cheeks playfully ' come ob let's go' he said carrying Katerina and Alexa and marco following as they happily went upstairs.

' that little witch cannot stay here for too long' Mrs Armstrong muttered under her breath before stomping of.
