EPISODE THREE

" Sweetie, blow out the candles and make a wish!"

" Yes mom!", a little sqeaky voice replied.

Just as the child blew out the candles, gunshots were heard. They closed the windows and hid the kids in a room inside the closet.

" Mom, whats happening?!"

" It will all be fine sweetheart. Jinx and Cameron, don't come out no matter what. You both must live on. And Cameron protect your sister, because like you always said, She's special."

Muffled sounds of the guns could be heard. There was a lot of struggle. They heard the doors open, someone got dragged in.

They could hear their mom screaming in pain as they sexually assaulted her. Their father was made to watch it. 

They heard the men outside say- " That's what you get for going against the Black Scorpions. Now give us your daughter and we'll let you live."

"Never."

" We'll find her one day. And we'll kill her. That'll be the end of your legacy Augustus."

They almost gave themselves up. They wanted the kids anyways. Their parents would be safe.

"My legacy had just started , you bastard. My children will be the end of your boss and you. And the minute you messed with my family, you dug your own grave."

And their father was killed. Shot in the head. Mother was raped till she killed herself. All they could do is cry and listen as their parents were brutally killed. Tortured for their children's sake.

At the age when children watch cartoons and play with their friends. They silently promised their dead parents, that all the pain they went through would not be for naught.

Children watched their parents assualted and die, but didn't cry, just like their parents no matter how much it hurt. But both of the kids vowed to avenge their parents one day. They didn't know how or when or where, but then again, death never gives a warning.

*Flashback ends*

"Lilith , ask the police to back of from the case from now. They'll lose personal and get nowhere. And ask them if I could talk to the Head of their department." 

Maybe a lot had changed, my brother who once promised to stay by my side had left me to search someone. He was always secretive. My adoptive parents sent me to an orphanage because they couldn't deal with me and all my bad records. I was a problem child.

But I what happened that day, I don't know what my dad meant, what legacy he was talking bout, but I will fulfill it.

I know there something more to the "legacy" thing. But for right now, I have to get stronger and do some more research. Now that they have showed up, I can't let them go off the grid again.

" Jinx, what are you planning on doing??"

"Nothing just some mischief. Afterall, I think it's time to put my contacts into some use. I didn't get into trouble for nothing all these years..."
