Hey! I'm back with my second story! This time is Code Geass, because Lelouch is HOT!! (Right girls?? Hahaha) Alright. I hope you enjoy it!! :D

Seven years ago, in beautiful, serene Japan, I would play in the gentle streams and run freely in the lush green pastures. I'd be able to be with my best friend and older brother Michael, and we lived a happy normal life with my parents. I was a carefree, adventurous, optimistic girl, not a care in the world and the biggest worry I ever had was falling and scraping my knees. It only took one bomb and one long, endless war to send my perfect world shattering to pieces...

"Isabella!" Astrid Liberata called to her daughter as a formation of helicopters appeared over Mount Fuji.

The little girl didn't turn her head, but kept her eyes glued on the formation in the distance.

"Hey Lelou-chan, what do you think those helicopters are doing?" Isabella asked and her best friend turned his attention from the game they were playing to the approaching air crafts.

"I don't know. Come on, let's go inside before your mom gets angry," Lelouch said and Isabella stood up.

"Hang on Lulu, I just want to see," she said and started to scamper to the helicopters.

"Isabella!! Get back here!"

"I just want to see for a minute Mom!" Isabella called back and gave her mother the innocent smile she had that made everyone melt.

"Michael," Astrid sighed to her fifteen year old son, "go get your sister please, she only listens to you."

Michael jumped up off the couch before jogging outside to get his sister.

In just a matter of minutes, my perfect world would end...

"Isabella! Let's go, back inside!" Michael instructed but to his astonishment, Isabella kept running.

Lelouch growled, irritated, then stood up to catch up with his friend. Isabella had stopped running and was gazing in awe at the curious helicopters as Michael ran up behind her and picked her up.

"Alright little Missy, let's go," her brother said and Isabella pretended to pout as she, Michael and Lelouch went back inside the house.

Michael dropped Isabella on the couch and she was in a fit of giggles as she sat back up. Lelouch joined them on the couch and sat next to Isabella as Astrid smiled at all three of them and bolted her door shut. Isabella's father, Nathaniel, flipped the curtains of the house shut and ran his fingers through his ebony hair.

"Hey Dad, what are the helicopters doing?" Isabella asked but her father didn't answer.

"Astrid, do Lelouch's parents know where he is?"

"Yes," Lelouch answered before Mrs. Liberata could.

"Dad, what's going on?" Isabella asked, sensing the uneasy, scared note in her father's voice.

"Astrid," Mr. Liberata said to his wife as the noise of the helicopters getting closer got louder, "take Isabella, Michael and Lelouch to safety."

"Dad, what's going on?" Michael repeated his sister's words and there was an explosion.

"ISABELLA! MICHAEL!" Astrid cried as there was another explosion and their window broke.

Mr. Liberata shielded the kids from the shattering glass as Michael scooped up his sister and Lelouch before sprinting to the back of the house.

Astrid opened a trap door that would lead them to sanctuary and the Liberata siblings jumped inside.

"Lelouch!" Isabella said as Astrid held him back for a second. Michael pulled her back down and she fought to keep sight of him.

"Lelouch," she said and the violet eyes turned to her, "will you do me a favor? It's about Isabella."

"I'll do anything for Isabella! Name it and I'll do it," Lelouch said and Astrid smiled.

"Please, protect her," Astrid said and Lelouch's eyes widened as another blast almost deafened him.

Astrid pushed him to the trap door and Lelouch dropped inside next to Isabella.

"Wait, Mom!" she cried but there was another explosion and Michael shielded her and Lelouch from the debris.

"NO! MOM! WAIT MICHAEL--!" Isabella cried and the door had slammed shut.

"M-Mom--Dad--" Isabella stared up at the door as there were heavy foot steps stomping around and Michael put his hand over his sister's mouth.

"Don't make a sound," he whispered and Isabella felt tears slip down her face.

The next thing I knew, I was running away with Lelouch and my brother away from my flawless world forever. We hadn't even reached outside yet when my brother had been blindfolded and handcuffed.

"MICHAEL!" Isabella cried and two Britannia soldiers had grabbed Lelouch as well.

I was also blindfolded and handcuffed like my brother...I was so scared and I didn't know what to do. I cried out for Lelouch and I grabbed his hand blindly. I held onto him as if he was my only source of life and I begged him to not let go.

"Lelou-chan! Don't let me go!" Isabella cried, tears soaking the blindfold and she clutched her best friend's hand.

The guards yanked at her and Isabella felt as if her arm would be ripped clean off, but she kept hold of Lelouch's hand.

"Michael!" Isabella gasped through the pain and the only reply from her brother was his muffled screams.

"MICHAEL! LELOUCH!"

Her palm was getting slippery with sweat and Lelouch's fingers tried to tighten around hers, but with one final yank from the guards, Isabella was torn away from Lelouch. The soldiers dragged her away, thrashing her tiny body and screaming, Lelouch and Michael both calling out to her. Their screams to each other echoed against the thick wall of trees until Lelouch's as well as Michael's voices both became distant echoes and faded away.

Cliff hanger on the first chapter. Sorry, I know you guys hate that about me, but I'm not entirely sure what else to put in the chapter. I'll update again most likely tomorrow. In the mean time, Review!!! :D
