A/N: Hey guys! Wow, this is extremely exciting. I know you have all been on pins and needles about Daisy and Seth's story in the Absorbing Heat series. You can read this story without having read Absorbing Heat, but I think everyone should read Absorbing Heat (since it's like my baby). :) I hope you enjoy. This takes place way before Absorbing Heat.

The shiny piece of metal slapped against the soft skin of the innocent fourteen-year-old girl's hand. She flinched, her eyes flickering open to stare at the dark weapon. It was heavy in her hands as her neck began to prick with sweat. Her cheeks flushed as she looked down at the gun and back up at the boys watching her.

Cameron Rivera watched the innocent young girl, just a year younger than him, hold her first gun. He watched the way her eyes pricked with tears and her lips trembled as she raised the gun like Kevin Marco was showing her how to do.

As she raised the heavy metal, Kevin leant in a kissed her sweet, succulent neck. He smiled, putting his hands on her waist as she took her aim again. Her shiver of disgust had caused her arms to back off on her target. All the men laughed. Cameron bit back a growl, knowing he couldn't show his disgust for this life. Not if he wanted to survive here.

Bang!

The girl took her first shot at the cut-out target on the wall. Everyone broke into cheers for her first shot with a gun. Kevin took the gun from her grips and put it on the floor, kicking it over to the group's leader. He caught the gun with his foot and picked it up, as he called the group to silence.

"Gentlemen," he called. "I proudly introduce the newest member of my family, my daughter, Blondie." He gestured to the unstable girl in the front row. She flinched at her newly given name. Something inside of her told her this wasn't her father. No matter how many time he told her that, she wouldn't believe him.

"Now, Blondie is going to need a companion. Kevin's team will be taking over her assignments, so Kevin will be unable to companion with her. Is there anyone who would take this position?"

Michael Rivera glanced at his son, smiling at the honor he was about to bring to his family. He put his hand on his young son's shoulder, tell him exactly what was about to happen. Cameron flinched at the weight.

"My son will, Sir. Cameron Rivera." Cameron's father put his arm around his son, ushering him forward into the aisle that had parted for them. Cameron bit his lip, trying to keep a blush from appearing on his cheeks at the sight of the beautiful girl in front of her.

He couldn't help it. He was a fifteen-year-old boy, being given the responsibility of taking care of this pretty girl.

The girl's supposed father took her light-native skinned hand in his. He also reached for Cameron's much bigger and paler skinned hand. "I give you responsibility of my daughter." He sat their hands in each others as the crowd erupted in cheers.

After this announcement, the real party began. The wives had arrived and were in their best clothing. About this time, Kevin made his way towards the quiet couple. He wound his arms around the girl's waist and whispered something into her ear.

She shivered in disgust once more, stepping back and slamming into Cameron, who wrapped his arms around her, sending Kevin a glare before leading her away.

"I don't know how you got dragged into this mess, Blondie. But, I will keep you safe."

And, she couldn't help but believe him.

A/N: So, whadya think? It is good? Bad? Not what you expected? - in a goodway I would hope. Blondie is Daisy. But...well, you will find out in the later chapters. Don't worry, it won't be long (maybe a single chapter before Seth and Daisy meet.) I hope you guys end up in love with this much crazier story for imprinting. It's probably much different than most imprint stories you've read. But, I hope you guys love it.
