Irene Belserion was at her job.
She worked for the government of the Spriggan which was the Main branch. She worked as the head in the Geography department. Her job was to check all global updates for weather changes or disasters.
Irene had worked with the Spriggan for the past few years and the way she did her work saved countless lives.
When she was done with her job for the day she left.
Irene lived in Alvarez Empire City. It was a city of hard working and high paying people. Most of all it was the best governmental resident area to live in.
Irene drove her car and went to an elementary school.
When she arrived she saw other parents picking up their children and she smiled when she saw a little girl that looked just like her run towards her.
"Mother!"
Irene hugged her daughter and they went into the car.
Her daughter, Erza was 9 years old and was in the fifth grade. Erza looked like a child version of her mother. She had scarlet hair that hung to her lower back and she had brown eyes.
For Irene, Erza was her pride and joy and she will do anything to keep her daughter safe and happy.
When they got home they both went inside, well Erza did while her mother went to check the mail.
It was the routine, as soon as they get home get out of the school and work clothes. Erza does her homework while Irene checks the mail and prepares dinner.
As Erza was doing her homework Irene already had dinner started then she looked at the new mail.
Bill, bill, another bill.
Irene's eyes widened.
'A letter from the court.'
Irene glanced over her shoulder to see that Erza was deep into her homework then Irene went upstairs and went to her room to read the letter that the courthouse had sent her.
Ms. Belserion,
We are writing to you that you have a court date three weeks from today to discuss the custody of your child, Erza Belserion.
Irene couldn't believe it.
For the past year Irene had went through a divorce from an abusive marriage. She was able to get away but the land that she married in had a law that if a woman were to leave she couldn't take any of her children with her.
Irene hugged herself as she remembered those long nights of crying because she didn't have her daughter with her so she moved.
Before she moved to Alvarez Empire City she lived in Dragnof, Ishtar.
She hugged herself tighter at the name. That place was the worst place that she had ever lived in. She wanted nothing to do with it and now here she was getting a letter from the court house that wanted to discuss who was going to be the one to raise her only daughter.
Was it going to be her or her ex-husband?
Irene hoped that it would be her; she couldn't go through that again. She couldn't bear to give her daughter up.
Irene got off her bed then went downstairs.
When she got to the kitchen she saw that Erza had just finished her homework then they both had dinner together.
"How was school today, Erza?"
Erza didn't give her usual smile which concerned Irene.
"Erza?"
"My teacher wanted us to do projects on places where we were born in."
Irene's eyes saddened then she got an idea.
"Maybe you could ask your teacher if you can do yours on something else."
Erza nodded then looked up at her mother.
"Mother?"
"Yes?"
"May I go to work with you next Tuesday?"
"Don't you have school?"
Erza shook her head then Irene nodded.
"I will bring you with me but I will be busy for most of the day."
"Okay."
After dinner Irene and Erza played then when it was night time Irene put Erza to bed.
"Mother?"
"Yes?"
"Do you plan to fall in love again?"
Irene just looked at her daughter then she gave a small smile.
"Maybe but for now Mother just wants us to be happy."
Erza nodded then Irene left to go to her room. When she got there she checked her email.
She saw that she had an email from her boss.
Irene tomorrow you will be introduced to your new partner for a new project. He will go over the new project with you.
Irene nodded to herself then she laid down and went to sleep.
'What am I going to do?'
AN: Alright there is the first chapter! What is going to happen?
