Hi, this is BluRogueAika and this is my first long-term fanfiction! Oh dear... Weell anyway... Just to explain, the idea came from Wild-Roze's fanfiction... The basic idea is the same, Ramirez won and took Aika as his concubine- only Vyse is alive. Any questions after reading at least this chap and chap 2, I'll answer them, it's too much to type in at the minute... ¬¬

I don't own Skies of Arcadia- otherwise Vyse would have stabbed Fina a loong time ago

The nineteen year old stumbled into the darkened room, clutching the small girl to her chest. She rested on her knees, gasping for breath and trembling.

"Mama..." The little girl whimpered. The redhead looked down at her daughter and held her tighter.

"It's OK, Rory. It'll be OK. Mama's here." She murmured into the little girl's bushy platinum hair, her voice shaking. The door burst open and a tall shadow strode in. The young mother cried out and shrank away, gripping her daughter protectively. The small shafts of light fell on her once beautiful face, now worn and muddy and covered in bruises. Aurora stared up at her mother, her tiny hands holding the thin folds of her ragged dress.

"Get here, girl!" Ramirez grabbed hold of her waist length hair and dragged her towards him.

"Let go of me!" Aika screamed, struggling, but at the same time reluctant to let go of her precious daughter.

"You little whore, you thought you could not only hide the little one, but your pregnancy too?!" He grabbed Aurora by the scruff of her neck and held her high. Aurora burst into tears. She didn't know that this man was her father, but she would still have been just as scared. Ramirez pointed his sword at the redhead's swollen abdomen.

"Let her go, Ramirez! Let my daughter go!" Aika pleaded, tears streaming down her face too. He jabbed at her stomach.

"Who's is it? Huh? It's the rogue's, isn't it! Tell me, or I slit the little one's throat!" Aurora cried even harder, flailing her fists and kicking out at the tall cold man.

"Mama! Mama! Help me, mama!" She sobbed. Aika burst into fresh tears at the sight of her daughter.

"Let her down! Now!" She cried.

"Who's the father?!" He demanded. "Is it that foolish Blue Rogue?" He kicked at her head, knocking her to the floor.

"Answer me, girl. You are heavy with a child, yet I cannot remember the last time I managed to take you!" Aika didn't answer, just lay, still stunned from the blow.

"What about the little one? You said it died when it was born!"

"I couldn't let you kill her." She mumbled.

"So were you going to hide this one, as well? You'd like that. Bearing that rogue's child and keeping them under my nose! You little slut!" He bellowed, losing control and beating her, his boots connecting frequently with her head. He had dropped the little girl in his rage, and she cowered in the corner, too terrified to even move. He drew back, panting slightly. Aika lay on her side, her breathing labored and bleeding from many wounds to the head. Large bruises were already forming on the stomach she clutched hard, whimpering.

"Well, what do you have to say for yourself, girl?" Aika just glared at him through a black eye. Aurora stood up shakily, and ran at Ramirez, pounding at his lower leg.

"Leave my Mama alone, you big bully!" She screamed, kicking and punching at him. Ramirez merely kicked her aside, ignoring Aika's cries, as she had to watch her daughter land heavily against the wall, and fall silent. Aika let out a dry sob. She could hear no breathing from her little daughter. He grabbed her long hair again and pulled her head up towards his.

"Tell me who the father is, or I kill the baby as well. You'll probably die too while I'm at it."

"Why should I?" Aika growled, glaring at him through her one open eye. "You'll kill it even if it is yours." Ramirez grunted and threw her to the ground again. He then took his sword and rested the tip just over her heart.

"Who's the father?" He asked one last time.

"My lips are sealed." Aika grumbled.

"You really were a pretty girl." Ramirez grunted, pulled the sword up, and then plunged it back down straight through her heart. Aika's final screams were muffled, but the little girl both parents thought dead regained conscious just in time to hear them.

Ouch.

Anyone still confused- you'll pick up the storyline as you go along- it's supposed to do that!
