I do not own in characters in this story (so far) except for Mark, his family, Jack, and the people I only reference. All the other characters are owned by OSC or people from VBS. I don't own Ender's Game either.

Mark was six when it happened. He could always remember the sound of a car driving up, the noise of the swerving tires, his sister yelling at him to get inside. When he didn't his sister ran out to get him. Then Mark saw what was in the hand of one of the people in the car. He was running for the door when he heard the sound, he explosion from a gun. He could remember his sister's scream as she fell. The frantic call his mom made as she yelled into the phone. Mark remembered his sister's last words more then anything else that day.

"Don't let my death be in vain. Go to Battle School, kill some buggers and save the world for me. I love you, and always have." Then she never said another word.

Later on he learned what had happened. Some gang members had been drinking and hijacked a car and decided to go on a little joy ride, killing people for the fun of it. In the end they crashed, two of the three people in the car died, the other one was injured and lost an arm. In the end, six people were dead; the youngest one was Mark's sister at eight years old.
