On a planet outside the Milky Way Galaxy, there was a mother taking care of a 3-year-old child. The child was sweet and very happy. She had short blondish white hair and sparkling blue eyes. It was a peaceful day in the colony they lived in, K-2L. All of a sudden, they heard the screaming of engines as they flew over the colony and the ships began to drop bombs on the Earth colony. The father of the child came rushing in with their son.
"Virginia!" the father shouted. "It's a Pirate Raid!"
"Not again!" the mother cried as she held their children's hands tightly and grabbed a bag. "When will they learn?!"
"They never will! Take young Samantha and Samuel out of here! I'll stay here and help defend the colony with the other soldiers!"
Samantha reached over to her father.
"Daddy, don't go..."
Her father gave a warm, but sad, smile.
"I have to, honey..." He gave her a kiss and a hug to comfort her. "Now, go with mommy..."
Virginia took Samantha's hand and ran for the outskirts of the colony while Samuel followed closely, still looking back at the falling colony. As they did, they dodged the flying bombs and lasers, trying to stay alive. They finally reached the bomb shelter there and Virginia told both to get in.
"Stay here..." she whispered as she gave them a final hug, having the feeling that this would be the last time that she would see her children's golden hair and soft cheeks. "I'm going to go help daddy, ok?"
"Ok..."
Samuel refused to stay put and ran back to the colony before his mother could stop him. The metal door closed and Samantha was in there alone.
"Samuel!!!" she cried out. The only voice that replied was her own. It was cold in the shelter. It had its own lighting system so it was never dark. It also had a food containment unit with rations for about 2 weeks. The shelter also had a timer so that anyone inside would be released after some time. Samantha waited and waited. She didn't know how much time had passed, but she couldn't hear anymore fighting. Another hour passed and the door slid open. The girl crept out cautiously, wondering what had happened to her mother and father. She went back to her colony, but found it leveled down to nothing. She saw bodies of people and of the attacking aliens who had fought. Images came into her mind as she tried to picture what happened while she was in the shelter. She ran around, calling out for her parents.
"Mommy! Daddy! Samuel!" she cried. "Where are you?!"
There was no answer, just the quiet howl of a western wind answered her. She looked and looked until she saw them. There were her parents, holding each other, but dead. Samantha ran over and to them as she cried. She touched their hands. They were warm, but lifeless. She searched for a while for her brother, but he was nowhere in sight. The sky grew dark as night began to fall. Samantha was the last of her kind for this colony. Everyone else was dead...
