Chapter 1

I stood staring out a window, waiting to see Captain Anderson and Ambassador Udina. I sighed, watching as we passed a planet. Couldn't remember the name. I ran my hand through my still damp hair, pushing the short blond locks behind my ear. My thought wandered freely.

'What do they want to see me for? Did I do something wrong? I'm I getting fired? I hope not. The Alliance is all I have. I have no friends. No home to go back to. No family. Family…'

I pulled the locket that always hung from my neck from under my shirt. I ran my thumb over the engravement on the front. My childhood was typical. Nothing to special. Just enough money to get by. I remembered at school, Omni-tools where getting pretty popular. I begged and begged my parents for one. But they always said I didn't need some gadget to feel special. On my 16th birthday, my parents let me pick out my birthday present. I had fully intended to pick out an Omni-tool. But as we walked in, I felt a tug on my pants. A little boy, who couldn't have been any older then 8, had grabbed my pants.

"Ma'am, do you have anything to eat?"

I crouched down next to him.

"I'm sorry. I don't. Where are your parents?"

"Gone. Daddy got sick and died. And my Mommy got sick soon after. She sent me away to live with my Aunt. But I ran away. I don't like my aunt. I want my Mommy."

"It's ok. Your Mommy was probably thinking about what was best. She didn't want you to get sick to. I remembered seeing your picture somewhere. I think you aunt is looking for you. She misses you."

"You're lying. My aunt never liked me."

"What makes you think that?"

"She is always grumpy. She never likes me bothering her. She is always leaving me with a babysitter. I don't need one. I'm all grown up!"

"I see that. But didn't you ever think that your Aunt was just worried about your Mom? And that she might have gone to go see your Mom to help her get better?"

"Maybe… Ok. You win. I'll go back. Can you help me find her?"

"Just a sec."

I turned towards my parents.

"Mom, Dad?"

They looked at each other, and then back at me.

"Alright."

"Come on little one. Let's go find your aunt!"

After we had found his aunt, we discovered that in the time He was gone; His mother had recovered and wanted to see him. She had insisted that she paid us for the help, but I refused. My parents were right. I was special already. It just took a little while to figure it out. Then, Instead of an Omni-tool, I picked out a locket, with the word Love engraved in it. I put a picture of my parents in one side, and I picture of the boy, Samuel, and his mother in the other. I was happy for a time. Then the attack came. Everybody was either killed, or taken as slaves. I can still hear my Mothers screams as my father fell to the floor.

We were woken up by pounding on the door. I Stepped out of my room and headed towards the door, but my father came out of his room with a pistol and told me to get back in my room and lock the door. Confused, I did as I was told. I looked out my window to see people being dragged out of their houses by Batarians. I panicked when a shot rang through the house. My mother's screams plain as day. Then another shot. Then there was pounding on my door.

"Open the door already!"

"It's locked sir."

"Then over ride it!"

The door opened, and I made a mad dash for the door. One of them grabbed my arm.

"Where do you think you're going?"

I clawed and scratched at his arm.

"Let go of me! Let go!"

I was surprised as ever when my arms start to glow blue. I punched the alien as hard as I could. I heard a snap, and I knew I had broken his neck. The others took a step back.

"Grab her!"

"But sir…"

"Now!"

I ran.

'What happened? Why did my arm glow blue?'

Then I remembered some of the kids at school showing of their biotics.

'I'm a biotic?!'

I ran until I found a place to hide. I found a hole in the ground, just big enough for me to fit into. I crawled into it, wrapping my arms around my legs. I remembered dodging my parent's bodies as I ran out the door.

'They can't be gone. They just can't!'

I had managed to grab my locket on my way out of my room. I fell asleep holding the locket. The last thing I had to remember my parents by.

It had been 3 days before anyone found me, Unconscious, Starving, and cold. The next thing I remember is waking up on an Alliance frigate. They told me only a few others survived the initial attack. But they died soon after. My parent had died instantly. They said it was quick and painless. I was one of the very few still alive. I still occasionally hear about Mindoir. Not very often. But occasionally. After I turned 18, I joined the Alliance. Then Akuze.

'I lost a lot of friends that day. I only wished I could have done something. But, the past is the past. I can't change that. But…'

My thoughts where interrupted when the door behind me opened.

"Commander. We're taking a new Alliance Frigate on a shakedown run. The Normandy. We would like you to come along."

"Of course, Sir."

'But that doesn't mean I can't stop it from happening to someone else.'
