Harsh breathing surrounded the area, followed by almost silent footsteps that only skilled ninja could hear hitting the wooden floor, a small girl of about three or four with short navy hair was running out of her room, a tear streaked face with wide frightened pupil-less lavender eyes, merely a few steps out of the room, a large shadowy figure appeared from behind and before she could scream for help a hand was slammed on her face muffling her screams, silencing her and before she could even try to fight she felt a sharp pain on the back of her head and fell limply rendered unconscious.
