"What did you do?" The man screamed. On the ground in front of him was a kid terrified for his life. Every time man walked angrily towards the kid, kid crawled backwards.

"I'm sorry dad! I'm sorry! I just... I saw the competision and I just though we could get inside the walls if I won. And I would have if you-"

"We are not going to inside the walls! I have said it to you!" Man was about to kick the kid before he dodged. "You are so selfish. You have put us all in danger just because you wanted to play an engineer. God, I should have never even let you out of the house you-"

While the man was yelling, they hadn't noticed the houses security system had been breached and was signaling red. Man only noticed when a bullet from a rifle had hit the man's neck.

On a doorway next to the man and the boy stood woman in a dress in a black and white stripes and a turtleneck, holding an old timely rifle in her almost delicate looking hands. Her blonde hair was tied to a tight bun with a red bow.

"Woman walked closer to the man she had just shot. She kicked the man down and put her high heel on her throat and the barrel of her gun between his eyes. Woman's eyes were looked empty, even when looking at the terrified eyes of the man he shot. Man wanted to scream but the woman didn't let him.

Woman smiled. "Your reign is done. Long live the queen."

One clean shot was fired. Man went limp. Woman stood up and cleaned herself up. When she stood up, she finally saw the kid in the corner of a room, scared out of her mind. She tapped a button on her ear.

"There is a kid. How there could be a kid? What does it matter that he remarried-" Woman went silent. It was the first time the woman showed emotion in her face. A wave of sadness went over her. She raised her hand towards the kid, trying her best to smile.

"I'm sorry for killing your... our dad."

"Who the hell are you?" The kid screamed. The scene changed. The kid was sitting on table, tinketing on the rifle that was just on the woman's hand. The woman was standing next to the boy. A year had passed.

"So, basically. Now, you can shoot pure energy blasts without re-loading the gun. You still have a possibility to shoot normally for a normal effect but you-"

"Good job, Milo. You make me glad every day that I just didn't kill you."

Milo laughed. He had gotten used to how casually his sister talked about violence. "I'm glad about it too, ma'am... Anna."

"I have a another job for you. This one will be special." Anna sat down next to her brother. "Could you do a bomb, that could be activated trough a dna sample?"

Milo looked at Anna bewildered. "Well, yeah, but why?"

"The field that we worked at, we need to have a back up plan when we are surrounded. We should rather die by our own hands than the hands of our enemies."

"Like how dad died?"

Anna smiled. "Thank god you get it."

Milo wanted to say something but kept it to himself. "How many?"

"We can only die once. So one for each. Me, you, Tomas and... Sonia."

"Why would she need-"

"We can't leave this life. I know, I tried. But every person in this family needs to co.e to terms with the fact that we are not made to live to see the old age. Sonia learns it when she is older too."

Anna stood up from her chair and started walking away.

"It's your choice if you want to use it. I'll rather go out in style than the way others want me to. "

The scene changed again. Milo, now four years older, was sleeping on a hospital bed. He looked at the place where his arm used to be. He winched in pain, but he put on a brave face, when Evalyn and Serena walked in. Serena was holding a child in her hand.

"I'm so glad you are alright." Evalyn went down on her knees next to Milo. "I'm mad at you for following your sister, but I'm so hapoy you didn't die."

"Are they..." Milo looked at Serena.

"There isn't a trace of your sister or Tomas."

Milo looked at the girl in Serena's hands. "Can you put her on my lap?"

Milo's voice sounded desperate, so Serena did what Milo asked. The girl looked at Milo with her big eyes. Milo tried to smile, but was afraid it would scare her. Opposite of that, the girl smiled at Milo. Milo breathed deeply in and out, trying not to cry.

"You are such like your mother, my little niece. Time will tell if it's a good or bad thing." Milo signed four simple words to the girl which she did back. "I love you, Sonia."
