A Boy Named Adam
Writer: ChibiRaihaHK
Rating: PG-13 (Just to be on the safe side)
Summary: Alrighty... I'm not sure how many of you out there would like this. It's a FF: TSW fic... I don't own the characters, yadda yadda yadda... Anyway, this is a prequel to the movie. I probably will write a trilogy... That is, IF and ONLY IF I get at least five reviews in the next four weeks. One more thing... I can't tell at the moment, but probably I will change a hell of a lot of stuff from the movie. You have been warned...
Now that I'm done, ONWARD!
Chapter 1
"Run Adam!" The nine-year old boy heard his father yell at him. He tried to obey, but his feet wouldn't budge from their spot. "Hurry! While you still have a chance!" The father screamed once more. Then he felt it.
A Neko Phantom tentacle cut through the air and into the man's chest. As the man felt his spirit being ripped away from his body, he gathered the last ounce of strength he had left and screamed out, "RUN!!!!!!!!"
Adam watched in absolute horror as he saw his father fall with a thud next to the dead body of his mother and twin sister. He was paralyzed at that moment; his body unable to function. But when the alien creature turned and looked toward his way, his feet unfroze and started to run. The boy had no choice but to follow wherever his feet led him. He didn't know where he was going, but it didn't matter; he was going anywhere but here.
He didn't know how long he had run, or if any Phantoms were chasing him. What he DID know -- and see -- was a small church in front of him. Anyone would know hiding wouldn't have helped, but for some reason his young mind guided his body to go in. He entered the building carefully, then ran and hid behind a large row of pews. There he curled up and started to cry.
Aki watched in shock at the once beutiful city of San Francisco. Dead bodies were everywhere, and smoldering ember was scattered all over the place. She knew she should get moving, but her feet seemed to be glued to the ground.
She felt a hand on her shoulder. Gray asked, "Are you going to be okay?" She nodded, then forced her body to move. Gray followed close behind.
They-- along with other students of the Houston Military Academy-- had been sent to scan the city for any possible survivors. The group had split and had been paired up to do the job more quickly and efficiently. her partner was Gray Edwards, a boy in the same grade as her.
Aki checked her computer, but she didn't seethe small blue dot that appeared when it had located a life form. She turned left, and so did Gray. Nothing. She turned a corner to the right. Nothing again. She gave up. It was time to head back.
She looked at Gray, and he nodded. They both turned around and made a move to go back when...
Aki's computer suddenly started beeping. A survivor had been found. It pointed straight ahead...toward a small church, directly in front of them. She started to run toward it. Gray followed her (A bit confused, I might add).
When the two reached the church, they carefully entered, looking around. At first, they didn't see anything; then they heard a small sniffling sound coming from the rows. The two approached, this time Gray in the lead. He walked cautiously toward where the sound was coming from, then stopped so suddenly that Aki nearly bumped into him. She was about to give him a questioning look, but decided to drop it when he crouched down in front of something. What the two saw surprised them immensely.
A little boy, curled up and crying.
Adam felt something move in front of him. Thinking it was a Phantom, he merely curled up even tighter around himself. He was surprised when he heard a voice ask him, "Are you alright little one?"
He looked up abruptly, and saw two figures in front of him; a woman with a computer in her hands and a man in soldier uniform. The man asked him again, "Are you alone?"
Thinking it important to answer, Adam nodded his head. The soldier looked at the woman, then turned back at him. "You have nowhere to go, don't you." It was more a statement than question. Adam shook his head. He had no home to go to. Not now.
Gray looked at the small boy. It was plain to see that he had lost his family during the attack. He was amazed that this child had managed to escape the Phantoms. "You have nowhere to go, don't you." The boy shook his head.
"Then would you like to come with me and this lady?" The child simply stared at him. Gray smiled inside his helmet. "I'll take that as a yes." He moved forward to pick the tiny boy up. Surprisingly, he did not fight back or cower away like he had half-expected him to. Instead, he felt small arms hug his neck tightly. Aki smiled at him. Together, the three of them headed back to where the transport was waiting.
Author's Note: Well, there you have it. The first chapter of my fic. I don't know what I was on. Don't ask.
