Okay, so this is my first fic, so review review review with some tips to improve and what not ;) Oh yeh, and, um, please TRY not to flame...

Ok, so what now..?

Oh yeh, disclaimer. I don't own any of good 'ole JP's characters, but I do own the main character in this story. And the plot. And before you get worried about my OC, she is not a DNA-recombiant (ha some scientifical lingo there) type person, but is NORMAL. NOT half panda, quarter bug or a third shark etc. Yup. Now on with the story! ;)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was 3 in the morning, and the sign on the wall read 'Florence Ward'. Underneath that, there was small writing which said 'Ward for expecting women and newly born babies'.

Through the window in the door, I could see a doctor and Ma holding a baby. My new brother. Oh my god, I had a new baby brother!! I couldn't wait to help Ma with nappys and feeding. I couldn't wait to teach him to funny things. I just couldn't wait to meet him. Gareth, that's what Ma was going to call him!

Suddenly 5 men marched into the room pushing me aside and into the wall, hard. They all smelt like chemicals, like detergent or something. "Oi", I started, "what are you do-"

"Shut it, kid," growled the one at the front. I immediately fastened my lips shut as he turned his back to me.

"Ve are going in now, ja? Ve must do zis quickly," whispered the second one, who looked a bit like a scientist. I was about to demand (with colourful language) him to tell me what they were going to do when the tall thuggish 'ape' turned and glared threateningly before turing back to face the scientist. The first nodded and pushed the door open. Four walked in and the ape-ish one stood outside the door. Curious but apprehensive, I shuffled a little closer to the door to see if I could hear anything.

"Juhst vork vith us here, now-"

"No, get off m-"

"Ve vill give you money"

"Just leave, you bas-"

"Zat is it. Gentlemen, if you vill..."

A muffled shriek. A spluttering noise. A sickening crack. Then even more hushed speaking and shuffling footsteps. I edged forward even more to try to catch the conversation. I managed to hear "... tausand dollars, to keep your mouth shut, ja? Now..." before the man at the door swung his head at me and his eyes bore into mine. Quickly staggering backwards I fell awkwardly against the wall again. Then all at once the door flew open and the five men, with the scientist holding a bundle, shot through it and hastened away. Confused, I watched until they were out of my sight. What were they doing?? Anxiously, I walked to the room where my new little brother and mum were, where the door was still ajar.

"Ma?" I called. "Ma? Who on earth were those men? What did they wa-"

As I pulled the doorknob towards me I froze. I saw the doctor stuff something into his pocket, looking pale.

"I-I'm s-sorry, but your mother h-had a heart att-tack, a-and I couldn't save her. Your br-brother had to be taken a-away."

I stood rooted on the ground without moving, without noticing that the doctor had walked out. I always stood on that spot. Remembering. Remembering.

The day they left me. The day that destroyed my life. That day.

And I know what really happened.
