Alyssa woke up in an unknown room, she shot up, she felt herself sitting on a bed, the walls were old looking, she looked around, there was a wardrobe, a desk, bedside table, book shelf, a small window which just aloud enough sun in the room to light it up to see clearly. The door opened, Alyssa`s eyes darted to it, fear started running through her body, a girl walked into the room. She doesn`t know what happened to her all she remembers was playing hide in seek in her grandmothers` house and the next thing she know she was in a bed, in a room she does not even recognise.
"You're up" Sophie sighs in relief.
Alyssa slowly sits up higher, she was scared, so scared she looks like a dear in the headlights to be précis. Sophie walked over to her; Alyssa stood on the bed and backed herself into the wall and on the far corner of the bed.
"Look I promise I am not going to hurt you" Sophie promises
Alyssa just looks at her carefully, looking for any sines if she is lying and there was nothing, she nods and sits down next to her.
"Can you tell me what your name is" Sophie asks
Alyssa just looks at her, she wanted to say her name but what could happen it she told the truth, something bad might happen, she was told when she was born she was kidnapped all because that her family was supernatural. She knew she was supernatural and the only thing was that no supernatural creature can sense her abilities.
She shakes her head.
"Why not" Sophie asks
Alyssa gets off the bed and walks over to the window and stares out it, she notices one thing that shocked her the most, she was in New Orleans, where she lives but the normally she would see witches do magic along the streets, people laughing and giggling, children`s laughter can be heard for miles, the smell of baker's cooking in the French quarter and everyone was happy. But this was different, there was no laughter and defiantly no children, then again it was early in the morning but you can`t smell the bakery's, in fact there was none, she tried looking for her house or even some of her family`s houses but nothing was there.
She grabbed a piece of paper and wrote asking what the date was.
"The date is the twenty eighth of August two thousand and thirteen" Sophie reply`s
Alyssa draw drops, she would be one year old now, which means she has travelled back in time, no wonder everything felt dark and gloomy, she needed to get out of here and try to go find her family, but wait would not know who she is. However she is one year old so they might be a slight chance but that is very slim.
"You ok" Sophie asks
She shakes her head, she runs out of the room, down the stairs and out the front door, she bangs into someone.
"What the" Jane-Anne shrieks
Alyssa scrambles up and starts looking for a way to go, she looks at herself, she was still in her clothes but her shoes were missing.
"WAIT" Sophie screams and runs out of the house
Alyssa turn`s to the girl who is screaming at her.
"Please wait" Sophie begs
"Sophie who is this girl" Jane-Anne demands
"To be honest I do not know" Sophie confesses
"Then why is she here at the house" Jane-Anne snaps
Sophie looks around and then looks back at them.
"I will tell you but inside" Sophie confesses.
Alyssa tries to run but Sophie grabs her.
"Fine" Jane-Anne sighs
Alyssa finds herself being dragged back into the house, she knew she had to be nice and polite as possible as her uncle Elijah tells her, but this was just getting reticula's.
"Ok tell me" Jane-Anne snaps
Alyssa notices a tv and goes over and turns it on and starts watching a show that happened to be on.
"Who is she" Jane-Anne asks
"I don`t know who she is but last night she was unconscious on the ground at Katie`s shop, I brought her back here and there was something else" Sophie begins
"What" Jane-Anne begs
"I felt a charge of magic and it was nothing like I ever felt before but I don`t know what it was, it was either a coming from her or b someone else did it but when I grabbed her by the arm before I felt nothing" Sophie whispers.
Alyssa looked at them for a second, she knew they were talking about her she was not stupid in fact she could hear the whole conversation, she rolls her eyes.
"Well she will need some clothes" Jane sighs
"We don`t have any clothes her though" Sophie confesses.
"Then I guess we will have to get her some" Jane smirks
Alyssa smiled, she loves shopping, it was one of her favourite things to do on the weekend after her gymnastics training. Sophie and Jane-Anne started heading to the door
"Hey you coming" Smirks Jane-Anne
Alyssa smiles and nods, she runs after them. Alyssa runs down the street without a care in the world, she knew where she was going after all she does live here just not in this time well year to be specific. Sophie and Jane-Anne looked at each other how did this girl know where she was going, did this girl live here, and does she come here often.
After a full day of shopping they were in Jane-Anne and Sophie`s restaurant having some gumbo that Sophie just made. They still had an hour till they opened, Alyssa was currently drawing in a sketch book that Sophie bought her just recently, Alyssa had begun to slowly to trust them after all they haven`t hurt her yet.
"So are you going to tell me your name" Sophie asks
Alyssa just looks at her.
"Can you talk" Sophie wonders
Alyssa nods her head.
"Please, all I want to know what your name is" Sophie begs
"Alyssa" Alyssa whispers.
"That`s a pretty name" Sophie smirks
Alyssa couldn`t help but smile a bit, she did love her name it was unique and none of the girls in her school have the same name as her.
"Where is your family Alyssa" Sophie asks
"I don`t have a family" Alyssa lies.
Of course Alyssa does have a family but right now they will not recognise her so there is no point in trying to find them, they wouldn`t help her anyway.
"I`m sorry I didn`t know" Sophie whispers
"It`s ok" Alyssa sighs.
"What about relatives, cousins, uncles and aunties" Sophie asks
Alyssa shakes her head again, I tear runs down her cheek; she just wants her family back and especially her mother. She feels Sophie whipe the tear away.
"Don`t cry, your safe I promise" Sophie sighs.
"JANE-ANNE AND SOPHIE DEVERO PLEASE COME OUTSIDE" Marcel yells from outside.
Alyssa stiffens she knows that voice all too well, it was Marcel, where she comes from he scares her, mainly because he keeps threatening her when her family isn`t around and if she tells them she will get killed.
Jane-Anne and Sophie look at each other and nod, there was no way in hell where they letting Marcel have Alyssa. But what they really wanted to know is how he found out about Alyssa in the first place did someone tell them about her?
"Stay, here" Sophie commands
Alyssa shakes her head and watches Sophie and Jane-Anne leave the restaurant.
"What do you want Marcel" Sophie asks
"Don`t play dumb" Marcel snaps
Sophie was about to say something but Jane beats her to it.
"Why are we playing dumb when we truly have no idea why you are here" Jane-Anne argues.
"So if I send some of my guys to go in there, will I find the girl" Marcel wonders
"Why do you want her" Sophie asks
Alyssa slowly and quietly crept to the back door, she reaches it, she turns the nob and makes a run for it; she can run great distances without tiering. She ran at top speed, she went around the second ally, someone grabs her by her waist and lifts her into the air, she closes her eyes, she screams with fright and starts punching and kicking the person with all her strength that she could muster. If her family was here, they would have killed this person without hesitation but they weren't here at all, she was truly alone for the second time in her life.
"HELP" Alyssa yells, hoping someone would answer her.
Sophie could hear Alyssa`s screams she tried to go and get her but Marcels men stop her from doing so. The man who brought Alyssa back here was Terry, Marcel`s right hand man, she noticed that Alyssa was crying and her eyes were closed as she was trying to get out of Terry`s firm grasp.
"Let her go" Jane-Anne begs
"No, you see I am going to use her" Marcel smirks.
He walks over to Terry.
"Open your eyes little one" Marcel commands.
Alyssa slowly opens her eyes.
"Put me down" Alyssa growls.
"Feisty thing arn`t you" Marcel chuckles
Alyssa ignores him, she looks at the man who was holding her; she concentrates hard and gives him a migraine. He screams and puts her on the ground and puts his hands on his head, she smiles and turns to Marcel and does the same thing to him as well, thank fully it was night time otherwise she would be attracting unwanted visitors. Marcel stands up, because Dvina helps him
"Is that the best you got, little girl" Marcel hisses
Alyssa puts her smirk face on, she screams and all the in the windows in the street break, the street lamps shatter, gusts of wind come out of nowhere, some of the other vampires try to get to her but she just gives them a mine grain as well. She loses control of her powers, she turns to Sophie.
"Help" She begs.
Sophie runs over and cups her face.
"Stop, I promise everything will be ok but you need to stop" Sophie whispers.
Alyssa stops and collapses onto the ground.
Little girl terrified
She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal
A home is no place to hide
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels
Every day's the same
She fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She wonders why
Does anyone ever hear her when she cries?
