"Ate! What's going on?" my seven-year-old brother Nick said. We were suddenly hit by a black car behind us. Fear seized his face and he turned and looked back.

While holding the steering wheel, I pulled it next to me. "Don't be afraid, it just so happens that they overcomes us. It's not like we are theyre target, Nick."

It looked into my eyes as if to check if what I had said was true.

It seems like he believed what I said because he calmed down.

We only had two left. We are orphaned now, and I have been caring for him since our parents died in a tragic accident.

Their car was hit by a truck of sofdrinks, five years ago.

They would have gone home then.

If only they hadn't been hit...

In order to live.My only investment was strategy and brainstorm for both of us.

We had relatives, but when we went to them for help, they just treated us like dogs.

I'm Ava Smith, 19 years old, currently applying to become a soldier and I am also a secret asset of the police in the crackdown on widespread drugs in this country called 'Phirinianz'.

"Aaaaaah!" We both screamed.

Shit!

Suddenly I was turning right on the steering wheel when suddenly a black car was blocking our way.

I'm bad at it.

Am I unlucky tonight? Hopefully not because I'm still with my little brother.

"Ate?" he asked me.

I held him in my hand. "Don't worry. As long as Ate is here, she will protect you." I calmed him down.

I could feel his trembling so I gladly locked the door to keep them from entering.

From the black car in front of us were three men in black suits. I guess they're in their 30's. Look like a mafia!

As I looked behind me in the back of my car, from there came down five men holding a baseball bat.

Are they gangs?

* Tok Tok Tok *

The sound of a windshield being knocked by one of the blacksuit. He is holding a cigarette.

"Nick, come on in." I said.

"Why?" he asked.

"Don't ask too many questions. What ever happened, dont come out in the car, understand?" I tell him that he was prompted to do what I say.

Well he did.

Because I had no intention of going out and run away. I am his Ate. So I must protect him.

_________

I was right in my car, start the engine....

when a man suddenly leaned in front of my car and shot the wheel suddenly.

Shot! Is he here to kill us?! He's familiar, where did i saw him?

I think he's in his 25's. Tall, handsome, wearing a black hat. Thick eyebrows and cold eyes, as I felt, penetrated my bones. It looks scary. It doesn't seem like it has any intention to be happy in life.

We are in a middle of danger and i can still describe his apperance?! Am i crazy!?

He motioned for his companion to open the door and force us out.

What should i do now?! I was so shocked that they were tapping my car window that caused them to break!

All i can do is hugged my little brother and comfort him because he started crying.

"Don't be scared, Nick. Im here by your side."

If only I had power. We could get out of here for a while without hurting anyone.

Because i hate blood!

"Waah, Ate im scared," my brother said as he heard the windshield break.

I hugged it. At last his fear subsided. We did it in a few seconds as my hair pulled up behind me and dragged me out.

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed, feeling like my scalp was about to be torn apart by its excessive force.

I hit his body. Expecting that I would hurt him and release me, even though I knew that was impossible.

They surrounded me.

As bad as they think of me, they can bury me alive!

"What do you need ?! I'm not rich so you can't get anything from me!" I shouted at them.

My courage was in front of them, as if I was not afraid, but deep inside my knees were shaking!

I was approached by a man who was slightly fat and he slapped me hard. Not just once but five times. His colleagues even laughed.

"The notebook. Give it to me, before I kill you.” He commanded me, pointing the hand before me.

How did they know it was me? The names of the big men involved in illegal drugs are on the list.

Except for me and the police no one knew that I was the one who smashed their hideout. I don't remember one of them being a member of that group. Or maybe they just have more!

"I'll repeat. Where's the notebook?!"

I forced myself to speak even as I felt my face swell as he slapped me.

Praying that if I told them the truth they would leave me and my li'l brother.

"I've already given it to the police. I don't have the notebook you're looking for--"

*bang!*

Suddenly the gunshot rang in the area.

I was not finished with what I was about to say, and he immediately shot my brother in the car. I wa shocked...i can't talk...im speechless...

My heart throbbed at what I had witnessed, as if it had been stabbed multiple times. It wasn't until I realized that my eyesight had blurred.

I think...I can't breath. He...He...He killed my bro-brother! My-my poor brother.

I was struck by the road, when the men holding me dropped me. I bowed my head and began to cry.

"Wrong answer." He said.

"You - fucking killed my brother! I will fucking kill you!" I cried, as I looked up at him.

But he just smiled as if nothing had happened.

Why not die, this kind of people in the world ?!

As if I was going crazy, to see my brother lose his life in the car itself and right in front of me.

Suddenly I stood up and bite his hand firmly!

"Aw! You bitch!" he said and hit me hard on my stomach, almost stopping my breathing, followed by a loud beating in the back of my head.

Damn!

Gradually my eyes grew dim, and i fell down in front of them. I can still hear my heartbeat. I'm still alive. But i felt hot liquid flowing in my head ...

* Bang! *

I'm sorry li'l bro, Ate didn't keep her promise...im useless...
