The girl and me

″Hey″ I heard a soft voice squeak behind me. I turned around and saw a girl. She couldn’t be more than 5; and she looked lost,fear evident in her eyes. She looked around,shivering when her eyes locked onto something. I looked in her direction and saw a burly looking man obviously scanning the room for her. She immediatly looked away and jumped and held onto me. I understood what was going on immediatly and took her in my hold,whispering comforting words as she quivered in my arms. ″Shhh, it’s ok.″ I told her after the man was gone. She looked up at me with her big doe eyes and smiled,whispering ″ Thank you. Can you please take me home?″. I looked at this helpless child and i said with my most reassuring smile ″Of course″. I took her into my car and asked her where her home was. She whispered out the directions and soon we were there. I helped her out of the car and bent down to hug her. And,the last thing I remembered was a cold knife plunging into my back before I died in her arms.
