PROLOGUE
What led to this situation? Rachael thought to herself as she looked at her father in the driver's seat.
She could see the fear in his eyes and that was something she rarely saw in her father, fear.
Mr McQueen was breathing hard, his grip on the steering wheel tightened as he drove faster.
How could my daughter have gotten into this?
This is all my fault. If I had come clean she wouldn't have followed me, he thought to himself.
Mr McQueen matched the brakes as he could see a woman a few metres away from the car and almost immediately he felt a heavy object slam into the car from his side.
Rachael opened her eyes, blood was all over the place; she was upside down and she wondered why.
She turned to look at her father, the sight shocked her.
Mr McQueen was drenched in his blood, his eyes were wide open but showed no sign of life in them.
Rachael had just realized that they got hit by another vehicle, she tried to move but she couldn't, her right leg was damaged badly to the extent that she couldn't feel it.
She groaned in pain as tears slowly filled her eyes, her father was dead.
Rachael heard some voices, "Help! Somebody help!!" she cried out. "Let's kill her, she is of no use to us" Rachael heard a voice say, a man's voice.
"The boss doesn't want any witnesses, drain her of her blood...quickly" another voice, another man.
"I will leave the rest to the four of you then... I will go to the Lantern and report our success" a female voice this time.
"Help... Please help me! " she shouted as she perceived the smell of petrol, "Shut up. You will join your father soon" she heard a man's voice say.
She heard footsteps coming closer to the car when all of a sudden silence fell, what will happen to me? She thought.
The silence was broken by screams, the men screamed and finally, silence fell again.
Footsteps grew closer, the door was detached from the car and she was carried out.
She was laid on the floor as the car exploded, she just stared into the eyes of her rescuer, he had blue glowing eyes which didn't seem normal and his hand felt soft as he touched her face.
"You will be alright," he said, Rachael's vision was blurry but she could still see the man kneel beside her until finally, she blacked out.
