There is a girl named Alexa. Until she was about eight years old, she had a faithful life and lived happily with her mother and father in a great house in Seattle. It was a great life for a small young girl. They had each other and their dreams. Then one day, something really bad happened. It happened when Alexa and her parents were on their way home from a carnival.

Alexa was enjoying the view in the window. Then a deer came out of nowhere crossing to the other side and Alexa's dad tried to avoid it, but the car crashed into a ditch. The crash killed Alexa's mother and father. This sure was a nasty thing that can happen to two beloved parents.

Their own troubles were over in a speed of light. At least it was quick, they were dead and gone in eighteen seconds flat. Now Alexa found herself alone and miserable and frightened in a miserable world.

Now she was sent away to live with her two step aunt and step cousin. Her step aunt is her father's stepsister. They're both really horrible people. Their names were Eleanor and Meredith. Eleanor is the step aunt and Meredith is the cousin.

I'm really sorry to say it, but they're both really mean and nasty people. They are lazy and cruel and they would beat up Alexa for almost no reason at all. They treat her like a slave and made her wear rags and made her do all of the chores.

The only things that Alexa kept is her mother's scarf and her father's chain with a good luck charm on it and a photo of her and her parents. As time went on, she became sadder and more lonely. Alexa was abused, humiliated and treated like a slave.

After she lived with her step aunt and cousin for two years, there came a time when something is about to happen to her and Alexa did something that she should've done before.
