A little girl who looked about three wandered the streets of Bucharest, Romania alone in the dark. She looked very afraid and held her black bunny closer to her freezing body.
"B-Big B-Brother a-are you here?" She says in a hushed tone with a thick Romanian accent.
She had gotten no answer.
"M-Maybe I-I shouldn't have left n-nu m-matter how m-much they hurt me." Tears had come to her red wine eyes as she thought out loud to herself and held her neck where she was bit.
"Oh-a Germany will be-a so proud of me when I-a tell him about this-a." A man with a thick Italian said aloud as he walked towards her.
The little girl was soon terrified and she hide in an ally way hopping he did not see her.
"Humm~? What-a was that?" The Italian man asked himself as he looked in the alleyway.
He saw the little girl in a dark corner. "Why-a Caio there-a little one." He said with a smile on his face.
She trembled. "A-Alo." She managed to say.
He smiled some more. "Whats-a your name?" He asked her.
"I-I am A-Alexandrenia P-Popescu!" she said scarily.
"Popescu? Why-a that's my little fratello's last-a name." The man said.
"Y-You know b-big brother?!" She looked at him in shock.
"Si I-a believe I-a do, Is-a his name-a Vladimir?" The Italian asked her.
"DA! That's my big brothers name!" she exclaimed.
The man smiled warmly at her. "He is-a my little fratello so you-a must be my-a little sorella."
More tears came to her eyes. "You mean I have familie that won't hurt me like big brother does?!"
He looked at her confused. "Fratello hurts-a you little Alexa?"
She nodded. "D-Da h-he does." A tear slowly came down her little cheek as she moved her hair to show him the bite.
His eyes widened he was silent for a minute as he thought and looked at the bite.
She moved her hair back and said. "I-It d-dosent h-hurt t-that bad! Anymore."
He was silent for just a second more. "Come-a on little sorella Im-a take you home-a with me." He then picked her up.
"But big brother won't like that!" she protested in fear of what her older brother Vladimir will do if he ever found this out.
"I-a will deal-a with him." He smiled at her.
And she nodded as he carried her to his house.
