"Run! Get out of here! Hurry! Go!" yelled a woman to her daughter.
"I don't want to leave you, mom!" replied a small girl.
"Don't sas me! Do as you are told, little missy!" the girl then ran out the back door before she heard two gunshots. The little girl started crying as she ran. Then she heard voices coming after her.
"Please, don't hurt me! Leave me alone!" she screamed. Their footsteps got louder, so she knew they were catching up. All of a sudden she tripped on a rock and fell. The two men stopped in front of her, and one of them pulled out a gun.
"You know, witnesses are very inconvenient for us." The man with the gun told her.
"Please, don't kill me!" she screamed.
"Sorry, cupcake. Nothing we can do." The man said as he started to pull the trigger. Bang! The gun went off, but she didn't feel anything. As she looked back towards the gunman she noticed a tall figure with spikey, red hair, pulled in a ponytail standing in a defensive stance.
"You okay kid?" he asked her.
"I think so."
"Good." Then he turned to his two friends. "I'll take her to safety, and you deal with them."
"Umm…Renji, they ran off!" said a woman with short, black hair.
"Yeah, and this also wasn't in the mission details." Added a man with short, blonde hair
"Fine, but where is she going to go?"
"Just leave her. She's not our responsibility, Renji." The blonde boy said.
"It's fine, I'll just go to the police." She said trying to act tough as she wiped away the tears that were coming from her eyes.
"Look at you, trying to be tough." Renji said as he knelt down to the little girl's level. "Do you have any other family around here?"
"No, my dad left my mom on my fifth birthday, and everyone else in my family either live too far away, or they're dead."
"Do you have any friends?"
"Yeah, one. Why?"
"Maybe you should go to their place first."
"Okay." Then they started walking away. "Wait. I don't even know your names."
"Well, my name is none of your concern." Said the boy with the blonde hair.
"That's Izuru and I'm Momo." The girl said with a bow.
"And, I am Renji." He said, and then they were gone.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
"Oh, shut up." She told the alarm clock as she searched for the snooze button. "I was in the middle of that dream, again." Then she looked at the time. "Shit, I'm gonna be late for school!" She got dressed and headed out the door.
