Chapter 1

"Congrats to our little princess", Daddy squeezed my cheeks. We just got home from school because it's my graduation day.

"Dad, I'm 16 years old. Don't call me princess anymore", my face is frowned but I'm still thankful because every time there are important days like this, my parents are always here, especially Daddy.

"Okay, Old Woman. Where do you want to eat?", Tsk..Old woman! But in fairness, there is an excuse that we will eat outside.

"At the Japanese Restaurant Dad", said with a smile, I don't know why that was the first thing I thought of as a restaurant, we always go there every time there is an occasion.

"Go upstairs and get dressed", after Mommy said that, I quickly ran to my room.

I rummaged through the contents of my cabinet. That's how excited I get, throw it there, throw it here. It only happens once in a while because like I said, my Daddy is busy with our business in Europe.

Mommy is a professor at the university where I study. After I get dressed, I go downstairs immediately.

"Mom, Dad. I'm ready----Mommy?!", it was like pouring cold water on me when I saw the bloody mother near the stairs and struggling for life.

"My- Daughter. Arcie gets out of here..Run away", I shed tears as my Mommy coughed up blood. I shook my head covering my mouth so that my sobs wouldn't get louder when I saw in the living room seven men- wearing black and wearing a mask with a tattoo of a scorpion on the other side of it.

"Sorry Mommy, b-but I won't leave Daddy", my mother shook her head very hard. She wanted to send me away but I won't leave my father in this situation. I hugged Mommy tightly before she passed away.

From where I was, I saw my father kneeling, begging in front of the man in the middle. There was a gun pointed at his forehead. I stood up from sitting when he shot my father in the knee. My father was writhing in pain but without a second thought, he still shot Daddy's shoulder.

"All we need is the X2X Formula", heard the man in the middle say. This is probably their leader.

"What you are looking for is not in me, believe me.", my father struggled to get up from lying down in tears.

"Are you kidding us, Dr.Solomon, huh!", 'Dr.Solomon?' he shouted and stepped on Daddy's wound. Daddy bit his lower lip so he wouldn't scream in pain. The bitten lip was bleeding.

"Choose? Give it to me Or your daughter will die?",I was startled when our eyes met their leader. I thought they wouldn't notice me because I was on the first floor of the stairs and I was behind them.

"Arcie! It's not my daughter please..", Daddy begged them again who were already kissing their leader's shoe but he received a kick from it.

"I don't want that kind of answer from you", after he said that, I felt that someone hit my head with something hard. I fell on the floor next to the lifeless mother. My head was bleeding profusely. I don't know how a man behind me could go so fast. All I know is the speed of their movements.

"Don't! Don't! My Daughter! Arcie!!", I screamed as the man who was holding me tugged me, my hair almost separated from my scalp.

"Arghhhhhh!", I screamed again when he kicked me in the back. My father was about to run towards me but he was shot twice in the other knee. Daddy fell on the tiles. "Daddy!",.

"Shut up!", he punched me in the stomach almost unconsciously. Daddy was sobbing while looking at me. It hurts to a father to see his family hurt especially when he can't do anything. The man pulled me upright by my hair.

"What's up? I'm still waiting!", said the leader as he patted my father's head. Daddy's white long sleeve has almost turned red because of his blood. "Think carefully. You're smart, aren't you?! So think about your next step", I felt something cold in my senses. I knew what it was. A gun.

"Look at your daughter! Aren't you going to help her? You're a useless father if you just let your daughter die. You just let your wife die earlier, right", he kicked my father in the face.

"Ugh!", Daddy forced himself to stand up. I don't even know what they're talking about but I know it's important. Knowing that if it gets into the wrong hands it will only be used for evil.

"D-addy! Don't please! I'll beg you. Don't do this. Don't-----Argh!!", I felt a punch in my stomach that made me fall to the floor.

"I'm going to tell you right?! Why do you have to hurt my daughter?!", Daddy shouted at them.

"It's too noisy. Let's make it quiet!", the male leader approached me.

"Stop! If you hurt my daughter again you won't get what you want !", I couldn't even see their faces because of the masks they were wearing that covered their entire faces, but I knew they were smiling at daddy.

"Are you threatening me!? You can't even stand there", he grabbed my hair and faced him. I met his scary gaze. "Woah! We can sell your eyes .Now I noticed your gray eyes. Maybe I'll carve out your eyes----Ugh!", I mustered all my strength and kicked him in the middle of his legs with all my might. "Go to hell!”,

"Dad, don't give it to them! That's the last thing I ask you!", after saying that, a series of gunshots rang out from the male leader.

"ARCIEEEE!!! ", that was the last thing I heard from Daddy before I fell to the floor and was engulfed in darkness.
