Erika, who enjoyed a milkshake while watching her favorite TV show, was shocked when she heard the noise of something crashing into her room.
So with fear, she left her milkshake on the table and walked to the kitchen where she took her cell phone with a rabbit cover.
With her cell phone in her small hand, she walked to her room with small steps, and once she reached her head out with quite a fear.
The first thing she could see was that in her bed, there was a girl with golden hair and a red uniform who seemed to be sleeping.
She walked slowly to the girl on her bed and decided to touch her face.
Marie, who was sleeping, felt that someone or something was touching her face so she calmly opened her eyes and could see a pink ceiling.
"Sister, where is this place."
Erika, who heard Marie's voice was a bit surprised and scratched her chin. "I'm not your sister, my name is Erika, and you are in my bed right now.
Who are you and how did you get to my room. "
Marie got up and yawned while scratching her eyes. "My name is Marie, and I have no idea how I got to your room.
I remember I was in class praising a play for me, and suddenly everything went black.
But you don't have to worry about anything. I'm sure Mom Miyuki or Uncle Quetzalcóatl will come after me when they find out that I disappeared. "
Erika, more relaxed, just smiled and put her cell phone in her skirt. "Marie, how do you think we watch some cartoons while we wait for your relatives to arrive?
My dad Max should arrive at night since he works in the army. "
Marie agreed with some curiosity, "That's fantastic, my dad also works in the government created.
Although my mom Miyuki is a goddess and my dad Flavio is a great god, I think is the emperor of a great empire. "
Erika turned to see Marie and confidently said, "Gods don't exist.
If they did, my mother would not have died of cancer; I don't think a god is so evil to let my mother die. "
Marie could notice the sadness in Erika's voice, so she put her little hand on her shoulder. "Daddy once told me that gods are not what we think of since they are similar to humans, and that is why they always go to fail.
I am a goddess, but I don't understand how to use my divine power; I only do some things unconsciously. "
Erika just lowered her head. "Maybe you're right, but that won't change the fact that my mother is dead."
At that moment, Erika raised her head and, with a smile, lifted her mood. "Dad has told me that it is not good for me to cry about things from the past when I am alone, so we better watch some cartoons."
Marie nodded and walked behind Erika until they reached a beautiful room with white chairs; after taking a seat, the two girls began to watch television.
Everything was quite normal until they heard some cars' noise and later the noise of some shots.
"Marie, what is that gun noise? Are they making a movie?"
Erika asked with some innocence.
Marie got up from the chair and walked to the window where she could see that in the building next street, they seemed to be opening fire; she could even notice that the corpse of a woman was in one of the windows.
With a calm voice, Marie began to speak, "I am afraid to tell you that it does not seem to be a movie; there is more a confrontation between soldiers and bad people ..."
Marie's voice was interrupted when the noise of an explosion was heard in the distance, so without wasting time, Marie started running to where Erika was and took her by the hand as they ran to her room.
Erika, who didn't seem to understand what was happening, just followed Marie, who was pulling her with her hand.
When she got to the room, she was hugged while Marie put her hands on Erika's ears, who could only hear some screams in the distance and felt her room vibrate.
Marie remained calm until she heard someone break the living room window and begin to walk towards the bathroom.
Marie carefully removed her hands from Erika's ears. "You must call your dad Max as there seems to be a bad person in the apartment."
Erika nodded and started dialing her father's phone as she watched as Marie poked her head into the hallway and subsequently left her room.
So she had to walk to where she was because she was afraid of being alone.
When the call came in, Erika saw with horror how the building next door seemed destroyed and how her beautiful room was full of bloody glass.
"Erika, what's up? You need help."
With her gaze, she followed a small trail of blood that seemed to reach the bathroom; using a voice as calm as possible, Erika spoke, "Dad, there is a bad man in the bathroom, and the building next door just exploded.
I'm scared."
Marie, who saw some tears on Erika's face, took her cell phone away from her. "Don't worry, Mr. Max, I'm taking care of Erika, so nothing will happen to her ..."
At that moment some men dressed in black entered the room, so Marie knew that they were bad men, with a quiet and low voice she told Max.
"Mister Max, you only listened and did not speak."
When she said these words, she very subtly under her hand and left the cell phone hidden in Erika's skirt as she watched the men in suits approach them.
The men dressed in black walked until they were in front of Marie and Erika, and with a sign, they indicated that they would keep quiet.
After this and with helplessness, Marie, for the first time in her life, had to feel what it was like to be subjected without being able to do anything because she could not use any of her powers.
After being gagged and tied up, Marie watched the men break away and begin to search the house.
At that moment in the bath, Marie could see her father Flavio leaving, so she was glad to see him.
She was able to see in detail how he fought against a man in black who tried to hit him and how he ended up knocking him to the ground with glass.
But her joy was eclipsed when a man in black pointed a machine gun directly at her head; part of Marie was angry because the people in black cheated.
But she was happy to see that bad people were also thinking of catching her father, so she relaxed a bit when they left him by his side.
"Sir, we have captured the girl although next to her was another girl with golden hair and black eyes.
We also captured a subject who is clearly wounded and who knows how to fight very well. "
Marie could see how the black-clad guy's face warped with hatred as she looked like he was being scolded.
So when the call ended, he drew his pistol and fired the entire clip on his partner, who was rolling on the glass on the floor.
With tears in her eyes, Erika leaned against Marie because she was afraid, and her father was not around.
The man in black, seeing that his target was crying, just clicked with his tongue, "Take these three to the truck; we have to get out of this place before the target's father returns."
Marie could then feel herself being carried like a sack and glanced at the clock in the kitchen that indicated it was three in the afternoon.
When she went out into the street, she realized that she seemed to be in an alley.
That was the only thing she could see before someone put a blindfold on her and threw her into a kind of vehicle where she hit something, causing her to lose consciousness.
Erika inside the car could only shake and hear what her kidnappers were talking about.
"Jaime, you are a son of a bitch; the deal was only a girl, not a fucking gringo and the one who seems to be his daughter."
"Don't say shit and drive, or I'll blow your head off like stupid Yair."
"Fine, fine but put that gun down."
After saying those words, the car started and began its walk.
With her eyes covered, Erika could only feel how the car was moving while listening to a little to what they said on the radio.
"Today at 2:45 in the afternoon, the Cheverria building suffered an attack while the army was conducting a raid.
The number of deaths is unknown, but the first preliminary reports indicate that there would be more than 500 people, including more than 80 soldiers.
In other news, the Estai group suffered the theft of ... "
Erika was unable to hear anymore due to the vehicle hitting a pothole that caused her to move violently and hit her head.
When Marie woke up, she could hear a person screaming while hitting another person, but unfortunately, she could only listen as she could not move or see.
