"Τζοιμάται ο ήλιος στα βουνά
τζι πέρτικα στα δάση
να τζοιμηθεί τζιαι το μωρόν
τον ύπνο να χορτάσει.

Σιγά σιγά μιλάτε της
μην μου την εξυπνάτε

Τζοιμάται ο ήλιος στα βουνά
τζι πέρτικα στα σιόνια
να τζοιμηθεί τζι η κόρη μου
σε καθαρά σεντόνια .

Να κάμει νάνι νάνι του
το βρέφος μου να γιάνει."

The little girl in the bed giggled and then asked "Sing it again mommy." The older woman smiled and ran a hand through her daughter's hair. "Sweetie, it's time to go to sleep!" She replied. The little girl pouted and her mother sighed. "Alright."

When she stopped singing the child smiled. "I love you mommy." Her mother leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I love you too Melody."

Star City, June 30th, 6.30a.m, EDT 2010

The sound of an alarm clock ringing woke Melody or, as she preferred to be called, Alex. She hated her first name so she preferred to be called by her middle name, Alexandria or Alex. She climbed out of her bed and sighed. She loved that dream. It was one of the best memories of her mom.

Alex got out of her bed and went downstairs to get her breakfast. She got up at the time when her dad went to work. Her father sat at the table reading the newspaper and finishing his cup of coffee. "Mornin' Alex." He said. She grunted in reply as she got the orange juice out of the fridge. Alex was not a morning person. At least, not until she got her food.

"Excited for your last day of school?"

"Yeah."

He looked at his watch, got up and placed his cup on the counter. He then planted a kiss on his eldest daughter's head. "I'll see you at five. Bye Alex."

"Bye dad."

Her father worked long hours and went to work early so Alex had to get her two sisters, Jessica and Isabelle, ready for school. She poured herself a bowl of cereal and sat down at the table. Alex sighed when she looked up and saw the picture of her mother. "I miss you mom." Come August it would be the fifth anniversary of her death.

Her mother had died in a house fire when Alex was eleven. Her dad had taken her and her two sisters to the supermarket while her mother was at home. They arrived home to see the house in flames and fire trucks surrounding the house. Her mom didn't get out in time.

Alex finished her cereal and then left the kitchen. She got a quick shower and then got dressed. She put on black jeans and a purple shirt. She braided her hair and put on her shoes and socks. Alex then opened the door to her sisters' room.

"Time to get up!" Alex exclaimed. Isabelle climbed out of her bed but Jessica groaned. "Five more minutes Lexie."

Alex rolled her eyes. "C'mon Jess it's time to get up." Jessica buried her head in the pillow and pulled the blanket over her head. Alex crept over to her bed, grabbed her ankles and pulled her younger sister out of the bed.

"ALEX!" Jessica shrieked. "You are the worst!" Alex laughed as she dodged the pillow thrown at her by her younger sister. Isabelle giggled.

"I know. Come it's time to get up. Today is the last day you have to get up early and tomorrow you can sleep in." Alex said. Jessica grumbled something but got out of her bed.

"Can I have princess toast Alex?" Isabelle asked. Princess toast was just toast cut into triangles but Isabelle loved it.

"Of course you can Issie!" Alex said before leading her five year old sister down the stairs, followed by her ten year old sister. Isabelle sat down at the table as Alex got her sisters' breakfasts ready.

"Can I wear my Black Canary top today Alex?" Isabelle asked. Black Canary was her favourite superhero, ever since she and Green Arrow rescued Isabelle and her father from criminals that were holding the people in the bank they were in hostage.

"I have to see if it's clean Issie, but if it is, you can wear it." Alex said as she placed a glass of orange juice in front of each of her sisters before running upstairs to see if Isabelle's shirt was clean. Alex pulled it out of the closet along with a pair of blue jeans, red sneakers and a red jumper. Alex then came back down and prepared Isabelle's toast for her.

Alex frowned when she saw her sister's cereal choice. Lucky Charms. "Really? Do you intend to bounce off the walls today?"

Jessica grinned. "Yeah. That's the best part." Alex rolled her eyes and chuckled. She switched on the TV and left on some show that Jess loved before setting Isabelle's toast in front of her.

Mornings like this were normal to Alexandria. She would make breakfast for her sisters, made sure they got showered, dressed and then bring Jess to school and Issie to kindergarten. When they got home Alex would make their snacks, help with homework and make dinner for dad coming home. Alex would do her homework after dinner. She rarely had time to do things she wanted to do.

Jessica got up from her seat. "I'm gonna get a shower." She told her sister before making her way upstairs. Isabelle sat at the table, munching her toast happily.

Alex sighed and rubbed her eyes. She hadn't slept well last night. Before she dreamed about her mother, Alex had a nightmare that involved fire and a voice that kept whispering "Come to me." This had been a reoccurring nightmare for the girl but she hadn't told anyone else about it. It sounded insane.

A few minutes later Jessica called down saying that the bathroom was free. Isabelle went upstairs and Alex cleaned the table and put the dirty dishes into the dishwasher. Jessica came down later wearing a Wonder Woman shirt, a purple skirt, black leggings and purple sneakers. Her hair had been put up into a high ponytail. Soon after, Isabelle came down and the trio grabbed their bags before beginning their walk to school.

Star City, June 30th, 12:13p.m, EDT 2010

Alexandria walked quickly through the streets of Star City. Issie and Alex's schools had let them out at twelve but Jess' school didn't let them out till 3.30. Alex had to go pick up her sister from kindergarten.

Alex rubbed the back of her neck. She had the odd feeling that she was being watched but she must have been imaging it. Alex chewed on the drawstring of her grey hoodie, a habit of hers that her father despised. He thought it was disgusting.

The girl turned down the alleyway and took a shortcut she knew very well. Alex had lived in Star City her entire life and knew the streets like the back of her hand. She climbed over the fence easily and landed on her feet.

Alex came out of the alley and crossed the street into another one. This street was quiet and there were no people around. She stepped into a side street and suddenly someone's arm was around her neck and something was being pressed against her mouth.

Alex let out a muffled scream as she tried to fight back. The cloth was making her feel drowsy. Alex kicked and screamed, trying desperately to fight her attacker off. Her kicks started to get weaker and Alex felt her eyelids get heavier.

FightbackfightbackfightbackFIGHTBACK.

Her attacker was stronger and the fumes from the cloth made her sleepy. The last thing Alex saw was her being loaded into the back of a black van.
