Chapter three "Mommy and daddy love you?"

Maria's mouth dropped open. Who was this woman and how does she know her parents' names. Maria closed her mouth.

"Yes those are their names!" She said cautiously stepping to the side a little.

"I'm Alice." The woman said smiling.

Maria thought over the woman's name. She was trying to remember when she heard it before. It was from her mom she thought. Maria's mom and dad had been talking one day and she overheard.

"I think my mom mentioned you before, you work with them don't you?" Maria asked.

Alice nodded.

"My name is Maria Isabella Ocampo, my mommy and daddy haven't been married since I was born." The seven-year-old finally said proudly, with her hand on her chest as if she was professionally introducing herself.

"I had a feeling something was in between them by the way they were together. I didn't know they had a little girl together until your mom told me." The woman said calmly.

Alice wasn't sure if she should tell Maria about her parents. She was a bit nervous about revealing that the little girl's parents were dead, or so she thought. Maria was very young it would bee too much for her to handle. Alice had a flashback…

Alice was in a room with Matt, Spence, and Rain. She went to a part of the room where the virus and anti-virus were kept, but when she got there they weren't where she thought. The room had some stairs a few feet off the floor, which had been covered in shin deep water. Rain was sitting on the platform above the stairs holding on to a railing. The two guys were standing around.

"It's gone it's not there." Alice remembered saying

"I can't, I just can't, it's over" She remembered Rain saying.

Alice went over to her to comfort her. "No, Rain don't worry"

"What happened to JD is gonna happen to me, I just know it." Rain looked up at her.

"Rain-" Alice started.

"Do one thing for me" Rain showed Alice a small gold locket with s picture of a little girl in it. Alice looked at it, Rain put it back in her pocket. "If you see that little girl, seven years old now and her name's Maria, Tell her that mommy and daddy love her." Rain said.

Alice looked at her in slight shock, she knew what that meant.

"Me and JD, She was born when we were 17." Rain said.

"Rain you will see your daughter. Don't worry." Alice had said then remembered looking up at Spence.

A few moments later, after Spence had shot the locking Mechanism of the only door to get in and out of the room. The red queen was telling Alice to kill Rain, Rain was insisting as well, and the licker was pounding on a nearby wall, but Alice wouldn't Rain had someone to live for, Maria. Alice decided to smash the computer instead.

The flashback ended. She looked at Maria who had stepped closer to her. Alice smiled.

"Your mommy told me your name when she told me about you." She explained as she touched the little girl's dark braids. "You look a lot like her"

Maria smiled. She was starting to feel she could trust this woman. Alice knew her parents, and Maria's parents knew Alice.

"She also wanted me to tell you that Mommy and Daddy love you, very much." Alice said taking her hand off of Maria's braids.

Maria smiled even more but it faded as quickly. "Where are mommy and daddy?"
