Chapter 2

We walked to my house in silence, looking straight ahead. Once there, I could hear yelling, and the sound of things breaking. I ran inside, and Dominic followed. I saw two guys standing over two beaten and lifeless bodies. One was my mother and the other my father. I hesitated but after being in shock for a minute I ran over to my mother who was still alive, "Get out of here now." she groaned and I could tell she was in major pain. "Take this, and go Cassandra!" she whispered handing me a small necklace, that I recognized to be the one her mother gave her when she was little. "But mama I don't wan…." I stopped as one of the guys pulled me away from her, "Your coming with us girl!" one of them shouted. "Get away from her!" Dominic yelled. "Aha what are you gonna do about it kid?" he jeered with a smirk. "I'll kick yer ass!" He was Ready to fight, putting his fists up, to let them know he was not joking. The taller guy shoved me into a corner, "You wanna fight kid? Huh! You ain't gonna last one minute against me." He growled putting on iron knuckles. Dominic was ready though, what he lacked in height he made up for in strength. The blotto swung at his face but Dominic ducked just in time and the punch slammed into the wall. Dominic then hit the crook in the stomach he doubled over in pain signaling to take me out and back to their place, the second man grabbed me. Dominic was hit in the stomach and jaw repeatedly until he was out cold. Then the Smaller more built blotto through me over his shoulder and knocked me out. I dropped my mother's necklace somewhere in the process. I woke up two days later on a train in a baggage cart. I overheard the two men talking. "What we gonna do with the girl once we get to Chicago boss?" asked the shorter built one, "You'll see Charper. You'll see…" chuckled the boss. "Alright then Dagger…." sighed Charper. Then Dagger gave Charper and Charper hesitated, "Uh…. Um… sorry Dagg…er…uh… Boss." "That's better." stated Dagger. "Now shut up or you'll get us caught!" The pain then started to get to my head for my arm was still bleeding from only God knows what happened to it. I woke up in an alley way about three days after that… I looked around not knowing where I was or what happened. I didn't even know who I was… all I knew was that something bad was going to happen if I stayed there any longer.
