December 23rd 20XX - 11:30 p.m. a date and time that would forever change the lives of the Steel family in Rune City.

”Why? Why? WHY?!?!” each word her father, Avery Steel yelled resonated in the heart of Olivia Steel. Every passing moment thundered against her heart as she stood beside the hospital bed looking upon her beloved mother.Grace Steel was a women beyond human beauty, any person who had eyes could tell you the same information as they passed the silent woman who laid upon the hospital bed.Her skin was translucent white, hair resembled waves of ebony, het lips were plump and red but her face was small and delicate.

Anyone who looked upon this beauty would never believe that her soul had moved across the planes of existence and safely passed through the golden gates.Except for one single note, playing continuously in the room, indicating that her heart finally gave up the fight and stopped.

In the next passing moments everything turned into one massive blur, nothing was registering in her brain. Everyone was moving slowly, people were yelling into the hallways while her father was calling out to her mother with tears streaming down his face.Olivia just stood there feeling tiny and useless as she watched this surreal scene play around her.

”Sir! Sir!You need to move your daughter out of here now!” a nurse yelled as she tried to push the sobbing man back.

”Sir we need to do our job someone call security!”another yelled as she tried to make way.The image of some unknown nurses trying to drag her father away from her mother was foreign to her.She watched as her father pushed his way through, refusing to leave her mother's side.

He reached out towards her, grasped at the air until he made contact.He held onto her slender hand refusing to believe that his wife's heart just stopped.In the next second, two men in dark suits came running into the room followed by a tall, rugged man dressed in a forest green suit with white pin strips and a black tie.

His face looked grim as he ordered the body guards to remove her father from the room.As the men were separating her parents, a loud and heart breaking cry was coming out of her father's mouth, as tears and fists were sent flying.

Finally the hold that was placed on Olivia was cut loose and her senses were slowly coming back.”Daddy? Daddy?! What are you doing to my daddy!” Olivia shouted as she stared at the scene before her. Little Olivia couldn't stay still anymore, these men that she thought were her father's friends, her family, were trying to take her father away from her mother but before she could move someone grabbed her little hand.

She turned quickly to face the person who held her hand.Her eyes shot upwards to the tall man's face, his ice blue eyes were brimming with tears as he met her confused and hurt hazel coloured eyes.”Uncle Robin please let my daddy be with mommy! Please get them to let him go!”she begged as she squeezed the man's big hand with her little one.

However her little pleas fell on deaf ears. Her uncle Robin let go of her hand, bent over, picked up the 6 year old girl and carried her right out of the room without saying a single word.All Olivia could do was embrace the man's neck as they silently followed the wails of a broken hearted Avery Steel.
