Three kids sat in the back of a car talking and chatting happily, well the younger two were singing along with the radio annoying the older one since they were just leaving a concert they were at, their mother was in the driver's seat driving home, a smile on her face seeing her children having fun.
Seeing the twins, Lucas and Mena singing and slightly yelling while their older brother Damien was covering his ears, blocking their chatter. The mother laughed as she turned her attention back to the road. " Hey, when do you think the next concert be?" Lucas asked moving forward to ask their mother, a wide grin on his face, she looked at him over her shoulder as Mena came forward to" Yes, I want to go!" She squealed happily, their mother laughed at the two" Probably, next year!" She promised with a small smile.
Lucas and Mena pouted as they leaned back in their seats. But they didn't argue with that, they knew their mother always kept her word.
Mena leaned her head on her brother's shoulder falling asleep, Lucas gave her a side hug before looking out the window to watch other cars drive past heading home for the night. The family of four was unaware of someone was following them from the concert. Lily looked in the rearview mirror to see all her three kids fast asleep, a smile on her face.
Turning back to the road, she turned the music down so it didn't disturb the three. Stopping at the red light when the light turned red, Lily looked out of the window waiting for the light to turn patiently.
Unaware that someone opened their car door behind them, Lily didn't see the person til he walked closer to her door, she looked at him seeing that he was in all black and had a ski mask on his face" Can, you help me with something miss?" He asked in a deep voice. Lily looked at him and then at her sleeping children" What do you need?" She asked, the stranger took a glance in the back seat.
" I just need some help with my car it just stopped running!" He told her calmly, Lily nods putting her car in park, before getting out of the car" Of course!" She replied. Both adults walked over to the stranger's car.
Lucas and Mena woke up after Damien when they didn't feel the car move" Are home already?" Mena asked quietly rubbing her eyes, and looking around, no that can't be since their mother would have told them they were home. Lucas shook his head seeing that they were at the light" No, we're not!" He said. The three children noticed that their mother wasn't in the car.
" Mom! Mom! Where did you go?" Mena asked, looking frankly around the car and looking outside, Damien put his finger to his mouth to quiet the two younger kids" Shh!" As he got out of the car to see why they had stopped, the other two decided to follow their brother out not wanting to stay in the car.
The three of them walked behind the car to see if their mother had to get something out of the trunk" Mother!!!" Mena asked more quietly than before. Lucas quietly looked around squinting his blue eyes to try to see harder. Both twins looked around til they heard their brother shout" I Found her!" He replied his body shaking, choking up tears, Lucas and Mena ran to their brother's side, to see what was wrong seeing Damien looking down at the ground.
Mena looked down to see a body covered in blood, covering her mouth when she realized it was their mother. She looked at the other two whose hands clenched at their sides" What...what..why?" That is all Mena could whisper out. Lucas looked at their mother's body his body shook. Their mother was killed, and they didnt know why.
A couple of years, after their mother's death, their uncle took custody of the three, using them as money bags, forcing them to perform at a young age, not caring what the kids wanted.
Mena sighed as she did her uncle's dirty work, she did modeling, while Lucas was forced to sing. All three kids did what their uncle wanted.
Lucas let out a frustrated sigh as he sat in a room with Mena and Damien" We need to get out of this crap!" He replied his arms crossed. Mena looked at him" And go where?" She asked as she rubbed her neck. Damien looked at the two in thought not speaking at all.
" I don't know, maybe run from this place and him! It'll be nice to live a normal life!" Lucas explained pacing the room. Damien looked at the two" We can run!" He replied calmly ruffling his blond hair as he thought about what to do." We can run, but not hide! We can go to a normal school! But we have to stay low and not let everyone know who we are!" Both twins nod" So we can make actual friends!" Mena asked, Lucas, loved this idea. The three siblings, made up their minds they were going to run away and start a normal life far away from their uncle.
