"Alanta wake up…" Alanta stirred at the touvh, "alanta honey, it's time to make your coolies" Alanta's eyes fluttered open and looked into her mothers eyes. Alanta smiled brightly and jumped out of the bed. Her mother watched her laughing lightly. "Come on dear, let's go wake up your papa, so you can tell him what you doing today" she said softly.
Alanta nodded and slipped into her parents bedroom. Alanta climbed onto the bed and crawled over to her father. Her mother stoo in the doorway watching the two. "Papa…" Alnata stroked her father's cheek softly. Her father moved a little at the touch. Alanta smiled softly. "Papa, I have sniffles" Alanta said started to fake sniffle and cough. Her father's eyes opened and she smiled. "I no sniffles" She giggled as he started tickling her.
After a few mintues Alanta waws on her papas lap, with her head on his chest. "Papa, I make cookies today" Alanta said, sticking her thumb in her mouth. Papa smiled and nodded.
"Do I get any baby girl?" papa asked kindly. Alanta nodded fast.
"Big plate full of cookies and Jackie get too aye?" alanta asked. Her father nodded. Alanta nodded copying him.

Alanta sat in a small dark corner of the room she was shown. She had been there for a couple pf hours. Alanyta was wondering if she was to ho insane. Alanta shook her head furiously and threw her cellophone across the floor.
"This sucks…seriously sucks." Alnta said to herself, running her hand through her knotty hair.
There was a knock at the door and the door opened. Jackson slipped into the room and closed the door behind him. He went over to Alanta, sitting next to her. "it's going to be ok" He said reassuring her.
"You've said that before…it wasn't fine and this isn't going to be fine either." Alanta said coldly. Jackson looked at her. He nodded understanding her anger.
"I will take care of you now…glad I found you though. I haven't had a little sister for years…" Jackson nudged her a bit smiling, "I did stop dad you know…but he ran out back and said that he was coming after you you, I couldn't let that happen Alanta."
Alanta looked at him, "What did you do Jackie?" Alanta asked scared. Jackson looked down at his hands, sighing a bit. "What did you do Jackson? What did you do to daddy?"
Jackson looked at her. "he was going to kill you! Like he killed mum! I wasn't going to let him kill another person in my life who I loved," Jackson yelled, standing up pacing, "I didn't want to loose you too! I found his gun and shot him twice, on bullet in his back and one missed him, found out I can shot for shit! I got a knife and stabbed him…I killed dad!" Jackson continued to pace.
Alanta looked at him. "Why didn't you come to get to me? You left me! I sat there waiting! The police said that I was being handeed over to child services! I always said that you were coming, "Alanta yelled back crying, "But you didn't! I was alone for 10 fucking hours! And the last 13 years!"
Jackson looked at her. "I'm sorry Alanta. I never meant for that to happen to you. I was on my wa to the police but someone toke me. I swear on my life that I was coming to get you," Jackson looked into her eyes.
Alanta shook her head and rubbed her eyes gently still crying. Jackson went over, kneeling down infront of her. He started stroking her head. "Alanta would you like a nice warm bath? That's always made you happy"
Alanta smiled softly. "Only if I get some chocolate as weel" She whispered softly. Jackson laughed a bit and nodded.
"Sure thing love," Jackson ruffled her hair. Alanta shook her head making her hair fall back into place. Jackson smiled and walked into the bathroom, turning on the water, "keep an eye on it" Jackson walked out heading to the kitchen.
Alanta crawled intot he bathroom and sat beside the bath tub watching the water. Soon the bath was full and she turned the tabs off. Alanta had kicked Jackson out once he handed the choclate over.
Once in the tub, Alanta sighed closing her eyes. After being in the for a few minutes. Everything come crashing back into her mind. She started to breath heavily.

It had seemed like hours till Alanta appeared. She changed into her new pjs and was snuggling into Jackson's dressing gown. Jackson watched as she sat down beside him. Alanta smiled softly putting her head on his shoulder and turned the television on. "Alanta," Jackson said softly, "Why were you at that building? Did anyone tell you why you were there?" Alanta wasd silent for a moment, not wanting to answer.
"I don't know why I was there…they just came into my house and saod: to stay in my room or they would kill Rigers and Harmony," Alnata said quietly, "I didn't move…the guard eyed me and he jumped on me , I hit him and tried to get him off me and then all I saw was black" Alanta wiped a tear away.
Jackson sighed and hugged his little sister tight;y. "Oh Alnta..I'm sorry that should have never happened to you" He said in her ear.
"I wake up and it was dark so I freaked," Alanta said looked at him, "I hit two bodys, I turned the lights on and saw them…half of their bodys missing…" Alanta looked down sadly. "They said they wouldn't hurt them!"
Jackson held her tightly. He didn't know what else to do but kill them. If only Lisa was here, Jackson thought, then she could help. He stroked Alanta's hair.
"Why didn't you look for me?" Alanta asked. Jackson looked at her.
"Truthfully, you were better off without me, I couldn't provide or do anything for you," Jackson said.
"I wasn't…I'm not me, mum always said that we are part of each other and we need to stick together, that the way it gotta be Jackie," She looked at him, "I want to stay with you"
Jackson looked at her and nodded.
"What's your job Jackson?' Alanta asked getting a tissue.
"I'm a manager for a company, well one of many but I'm the best one they've got" alanta looked at him.
"That sounds real cocky, what kind of manager?" Alanta asked pushing him.
"Alanta…I create assissnations for people to kill…" He said quietly.
Alanta's face fell and everything in her hands fell to the floor.
