Alarms blurred, doors slammed shut, the harsh cold wind breeze through the windows. Battle cries where heard throughout the mansion, a little girl laid under her pink bed, her tiny hands covering her ears tightly. Tears streamed down her pale rosy cheeks, she started to rock herself back and forth. Her eyes fluttered open as she smelt the smoky air, her eyes widen as flames started to dance around her queen size bed.
"Mom! Dad someone please help me" she screamed out
A door slammed open, her head snapped toward the sound and a smile appeared on her face.
"Mommy! You came to save me" she cried in happiness
A middle age women with long blonde hair looked at her with panic.
"Yes I have. Come to mommy, we have to get out of here" her voice panicky
"Layla get out of here with Lucy!" a man shouted
"But what about you Jude!" Layla screamed
"Get out." Jude order
Layla picked up Lucy ignoring the painfully burn marks that where forming. She slipped off her pink heels and raced out the door.
"Mommy where are we going? Is daddy going to be okay?" Lucy question
"Daddy is going to be alright. We're going far away from this place." Layla answer
Footsteps where hitting the wooden floor hard, Layla turned around to see two men racing toward her. She started to run again, a poof of smoke and a goat man appeared wearing black sunglasses and a tux.
"Capricorn get the portal ready" Layla order
He bowed
"Yes hime." And he disappeared
"Mommy. I'm scared, where's daddy mommy? Where's daddy?" Lucy sobbed
"Shh. It's okay it's going to be okay. Daddy will meet up with us to the portal. We'll live happily ever after sweetie" Layla soothed
Lucy's little hands gripped her mother's dress, her lips quiver and she started to cough.
"But mommy daddy said that's only for fairy tales and this isn't a fairy tale but the real world" she coughed
"Daddy was just anger hunny, fairy tales do exists. And you'll live happily ever after with a man who loves you for you" Layla whisper
Capricorn appeared again
"Mistress the portals ready."
"Thanks. You may go."
They reached the hill where a black portal stood. They out run the man who were chasing them. A big man with a scar going across his eye came walking up and threw Jude's body to the ground.
"Daddy!" Lucy screamed
"Jude!" Layla cried
"Get in the portal hime. I'll handle these trash" Capricorn spat out
"Who are you calling trash goat boy" the man sneered
"You."
Layla raced in the portal, they watch as the portal closed and Capricorn throwing the large man into the ground. Layla felt Lucy's shaken figure in her arms.
"It's going to be alright. We're safe" she whisper while smoothing Lucy's blonde locks
"But daddy's dead!" she screamed
Layla's bare feet touched the cement, and her legs gave out. Layla let out a tied yawn and her eyes fluttered closed. Lucy's eyes widen and she got out of her mother's grip and started to shake Layla's shoulders.
"Wake up mommy. Wake up! I'm begging you to wake up!" she cried out desperately
Rain started to hit the ground, pitter patter. A man with brown hair and grey eyes walked up to them. He bend down making his business suit wrinkle, Lucy looked up with tear fully eyes.
"Please mister, please help my mommy" she begged
He softly smile, his middle and pointer finger touched Layla's neck and he let out a sigh in relief.
"Well young lady, she's sleeping. I'm Sora Inoue, you can stay with me and my younger sister" Sora said
Lucy stood up and helped her mother onto the back of the man. She grabbed onto the man's hand, her grip tighten when she was going to let go.
"Please mister, don't let go." She shuttered
"I won't let go." He muttered
They came to an apartment Sora open the door and put Layla on a small bed. A little girl with orange brownish came racing in her grey eyes gleamed with happiness.
"Big brother who are these people?" she asked
"I don't know, I found them on the streets and decide to help them" Sora explain
Lucy let go of his hand
"I'm Lucy, and this is my mommy Layla." Lucy greeted
"Where's your father?" Sora asked
"Dead. He was murder" Lucy cried
Her knees gave out and her tiny hands went over her eyes. The other little girl bend down and hugged Lucy tightly
"I'm Orihime. Don't cry Lucy. I know what will cheer you up! Being my big sister" Orihime exclaim
Lucy stopped crying and let her hands go limp to her sides. A big smile broke onto her tear face.
"Then Sora can be the big brother! And mommy can be the mother, it's like a big happy family! I gotta tell mommy" Lucy cheered
She scrambled out of Orihime arms and started to skip toward Layla, Sora stopped her. She looked at him with confusion
"She's tired Lucy. Let her sleep"
Lucy nodded and hopped back over to Orihime.
"I wanna sleep with Orihime!"
"It's time for bed girls. It's nine" Sora said
Hand in hand they walked toward Orihime's room and got into bed. The lights turned off and their eyes fluttered closed, Sora made his way to the couch, he flopped down with a small smile adoring his features.
"I'll make arrange mints for Lucy to go to the same middle school as Orihime and have the same classes" he whisper
He turned to his side and his grey eyes fluttered closed.
~!~!
"How dare you let them get away!" the large man screamed
"Marko- I mean boss we never knew she could run so fast!" a man shuttered
"No need for excuses Raven! We need to kill the Heartfilia family, and we failed." Marko growled
Marko kicked the goat man side
"Tell us spirit boy where your master is!" Marko demanded
Capricorn smile and disappear leaving smoke.
"Damit!" Marko shouted
~!~
Capricorn stood in front of the spirit king, he bowed.
"Good job Capricorn, you protected your master. Now let's find somewhere who is going to be good to you guys" the spirit king stated
Capricorn stood up and started to walk away
"By the way, you did your best don't beat yourself to much. All that matters is that they got out" Spirit king said sternly
Capricorn nodded and left, spirits looked at him with pity. He disappear from sight with rage filling his very being.
"I'll kill you, you won't live to tell the day where you hurt my master" he whisper
