Chapter 1 – Bad Dreams
Tea ran through the snow as it gently fell on the field behind her house. It was the first snow fall of the year. Tea wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to catch snowflakes in her mouth just because she was wearing her pjs. She started twirling in circles as the snow came down. It was only 8 o'clock in the evening but for a 5 year old that was well passed her bed time. Tea laughed knowing that she ought to make the most of what time she had before her momma came out and smothered her with kisses and whisked her off to bed.
Tea, laughing, fell to the ground and made a snow angel. She couldn't have been more in heaven than at that moment. She loved snow. Then, a sudden scream pierced the night. Tea jerked her head up and looked at her house. There were yells coming from inside. The doors suddenly burst open and her mother was being pushed outside. Alice's eyes met Tea's for a split second.
"Hide," she mouthed, hoping that Tea would understand her.
Tea jumped behind the old tractor that was sitting in the field as quickly as she could. In all the commotion, no one noticed the little five year old. Tea watched in fear as her father Richard was shoved out the door by another man. Tea's sisters Rose and Clementine were forced onto the snowy ground as they shivered in their thin pajamas. Michael, the oldest, struggled against the man holding him but was easily overpowered. The 16 year old received a blow to the head before he finally slumped to the ground in defeat. The men that so violently shoved Tea's family out the door lined up in front of the family. They all wore black suits and sunglasses. The leader, the one who had shoved Tea's father out the door, stood as the tallest, his grey eyes reflecting cruelty and a mad sort of pleasure. He was obviously enjoying the power he held over the Baker family.
"Where is the youngest?" asked the leader. Tea shivered where she sat and prayed that he wouldn't ever find her.
"She's not here," lied Richard. "She ran away last night and we haven't been able to find her…"
There was silence as Richard prayed that they would believe his story. The leader threw back his head and laughed. "That's all right. We'll find her eventually. No worries about that," the man said confidently. "You have been a very bad man Richard. You lied to Mr. McCloud. You know he doesn't take kindly to rats… epecially the double crossing kind."
Tea shivered as she watched the man stare down her father. "You know that you'll have to be punished," the leader said cruelly. He nodded to one of the other men. The man took out a gun and stepped towards the kids.
"NO!!! Stop! Leave them alone, they have nothing to do with this!!!" Richard cried in vain. "Oh, they have everything to do with this. The boss wanted you to be punished and that's exactly what you're going to get," the leader laughed.
The man raised his weapon and a shot rang through the air. Tea couldn't see what was happening. Cries rang through the night and the body of Michael collapsed to the ground. Alice was sobbing hysterically by his side as she tried to grab the girls and protect them best she could.
"Please stop this!!" Richard begged. More shots rang out as Rose and Clementine, only 11 and 7 years old, left this world. Tea was shaking from tears as she tried to remain quiet behind the tractor.
"Mark my words, Dick," said the cruel man, addressing Tea's father for the last time, "we will find your daughter and kill her as well. No one will get away." He then raised his gun and shot Alice and Richard himself.
"Let's head home boys. Our work is done. We'll start looking for the little brat tomorrow." The men all left, climbing into black SUV's and sped away from the sheltered little farm.
Tea, sobbing, ran to her family as quickly as her little feet could carry her. She bawled as she hugged her mother. Everyone that she loved was gone. "Tea….."
Tea looked at her father. He was just hanging on. She ran to him and tried to lift him up but was too small to. "Run, Tea…. Get away from here…. We love … you…" Tea's father then let out his final breath and Tea was truly alone in the world.
Tea slowly got up and started walking. She had no idea where she was going; all she knew is that she had to get away. All idea of time faded away as she trekked on. Her toes became numb as she slowly lost all thought and became numb herself. Her hair was soaked and she was shivering. She was so tired… so cold… so alone….
Tea sat up straight in bed, soaked in sweat. She'd had this nightmare many times through the years. Her ocean blue eyes filled with tears as the memories swamped her. She hated to feel alone and could not shake this feeling. The dream often made her feel this way.
"Tea, you better get up if you want to meet Yugi in time!" Maria yelled from downstairs. Tea smiled. She wasn't alone. She had Maria, a kind old lady who had, through the years, become a mother to her as well as a trusted friend. Tea glanced at the clock as she yawned. 10 o'clock!!! She had to meet the gang at 10:30!! Tea threw off her sheets and raced towards the shower.
