Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, or settings. I owe this fic to Mainframe…you know the rest.
Note: I wrote this fic because I wanted to stretch my imagination's wings and see if this would fly. I also thought we needed a few more fics out there, and I'm a huge fan, so why not writing about it? This is my first fic, and I sometimes tend to get a little wordy, so let me know what you think.
HOLD IT ALL IN (prologue)
She screamed as her tormented mind finally gave way and the power that had been kept in for all those years finely seeped and flowed out of her in a brilliant display of light that surrounded her, and then shot forward flowing over her and gathered into a ball. It slowly spread into a flat circle of glowing of light. Her mind searched her heart. How many times had she prayed for this day? How many times had she fallen to the floor hysterically crying into the night calling to her sanity to pull her back to the world she had loved and known? She had lost that world, and gained a new life, and yet had been denied that life. She had been given a "taste of a better life" as she put it. Her friends thought the obsession would pass, but it hadn't. Two years now though they thought only one had gone flying by. How little they knew about her little obsession. Now her dream had become a reality, and she would find and follow her dream. She stepped into the portal her outburst of past frustrations had created and stepped into her new life.
NEGLECT OF NORMALCY
She had always seen herself as less that perfect. Frizzy curls ruined her gold blond hair. Her nose wasn't strait. Her lips were chapped, and she was to fat. She was standing in front of a mirror. She stared at the image. She looked at what she had become by stepping through the mirror. A new person capable of becoming something she had only dreamed and talked of becoming.
She slowly moved back, and headed tower the line of people. She took her place at the back that quickly became the front, and the time to face her destiny. She removed the Icon that had appeared after the portal disappeared. The guardian at the front of the line scanned it, and downloaded the guardian protocol into her Icon and handed it back to her, then ushered her through the portal that lead to the super computer.
She found herself standing a few feet away from a group of kids around her age, maybe 15 or 16. She began to wander over to the scene laid out before her. A girl immediately approached her. She was relieved to be approached. She knew her approaching skills needed work.
"Hi my name is Jayne, I'm from system field. Who are you?"
She thought of the life she was leaving, and her home. Shouldn't she leave all things old?
" I'm Kay, Kay Dothan from Mainframe", she lied. Do you know where we are?
"Sure, the super computer, and we will leave for the academy in a few minuets; just as soon as the zip line is filled. They really must be desperate if they are accepting anyone into the academy. I guess the war really decreased guardian numbers. Oh well, I guess we are contributing to a good cause. I really don't want to be here, but my family expects it of me. Every one in my family is a guardian, except my brother. I haven't seen him in ages. He ran away when he was 1.6, and I was 1.1. I'm now 1.5. How about you?"
" Man you talk a mile a second don't you? Oh well that's good for me I don't talk much. Anyway I'm 1.5 too." Kay answered feeling insecure as she talked. She wasn't sure of computer time or lingo so she avoided talking as much as she felt comfortable doing.
An awkward silence followed, but was interrupted by the zip lines filing in ready to take them to the academy.
Kay's new life began to start.
