"Mommy what's going on, where's daddy?" I asked as mom pulled me into the basement.
"He's at the store with Uncle Dan honey," she said rushing me to the deep-freezer.
When we got there mom pushed it aside, revealing a small door. She opened it and quickly put me inside.
"Stay here angel, mommy will be right back."
"But mommy-"
"Stay here and don't make a sound. I love you Raven."
"I love you too mommy," I said before she closed the door.
After a while of sitting in the dark, I herd someone come down the stairs.
"Where is she?" asked a voice.
"I don't know what you're talking about," mom said.
Then I started hearing noises, like someone being hit. Moments later I herd a scream. I didn't need to look to see who screamed, I knew it was mommy. I cried soundlessly for what seemed like forever until I herd someone push aside the deep freezer. Then someone opened the small door in front of me.
"It's all right, I won't hurt you," a man said.
"Who are you? Where's my mommy and daddy!" I yelled at him.
"It's alright Raven. I'm Roe, a friend of your fathers."
"How, do you know who I am?"
"I will explain later, come little one," he said and in one sweeping motion he scooped me into his arms, blocking my view of the room as he walked. The smell of blood was thick. Salty tears made my long hair stick to the sides of my cheeks.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Because I'm your protector. Now be silent Raven, we will be home soon."
"Ok," I said and cried some more.
