Prologue

A little girl was found out at a crime scene, she was standing next to the body of a 25 year old woman, surrounded by a pool of blood. The little girl can't remember what had happened or how she got there and all she had with her was a little teddy bear, a crumbled up piece of paper and a floppy disk. But, she didn't know was that the dead woman had a secret. The secret was that the little girl's name is Althaia Ademta Alexandria Apostoliadis and she would be the one to bring on the destruction of the universe.

Althaia was taken downtown to the police station and questioned to see if she knew anything about the woman or what had happened. But, since she didn't know her name, age, or even the name of her parents they put her into state custody. On the case the police never received any good leads on the murder case, so eventually it went cold.

So over the next few years Althaia is placed in foster home after foster home. She later became diagnosed with a rare blood disease that left her continually running up the hospital bills of her foster parents. She always had to have blood transfusions twice a week and it was getting very expensive. But that wasn't the only thing, she was also continually being kicked out of so many homes for things that a normal child couldn't do. Mysterious things always happened either when someone turned their backs, or when she was by herself. She would sometimes disappear or people would get hurt with unusually serious injuries. One particular incident left one person in a temporary coma.

When she was placed in the home of a U.S. senator, Althaia was welcomed with open arms. The senator's wife could no longer have any children so they decided to adopt because they wanted their only child, William, to have a sibling.

The senator kept her for over a number of years, but for some reason he never adopted her. The one thing he was unaware of was the horrible situation that Althaia was in. During the years she lived with them Billy h ad continually raped her whenever they were alone. But, one day Althaia decided to take action.

One day the senator and the misses went to meet with her case worker and they left Althaia behind with Billy. What they all didn't know was that would be Althaia's last day living with them because of what Billy did to her. The following is an account of what Althaia said happen on that sad, sad afternoon while her foster parents were away.

""After Mr. Smith* and Mrs. Smith* left Billy pulled me into his room by my hair. He threw me to the floor and started undoing his pants. And at this time I was getting really mad and...and the room started to turn red. I felt a stabbing pain in my stomach and my throat got really, really dry. Then my mouth got all wet and I started to drool down my chin. My gums started to hurt and I felt two big teeth bite into my bottom lip. (*names have been changed for the protection of the family)

After he got his pants off he came over to me and threw me on the bed, he started to crawl on top of me and that's when I heard his heart beat. Then everything went black, when I woke up I was covered in blood and the agonizing pain in my stomach was gone. I looked around the room, dazed. I saw Billy on the floor and it looked like he was having' a spasm attack. He was also groaning and had blood coming out of his mouth. I looked down at him and he had a bone sticking' out of his neck and also the tissue on his throat was ripped apart. I ran out to the living room and called an ambulance I passed out again." "

The ambulance arrived and took Billy to the hospital, after being stabilized he was in a coma for 48 hours. When he awoke he had an interesting story to tell. He said while he and Althaia were alone in his room (and I quote) and "playing with toys in his room" out of nowhere Althaia (and again I quote)"attacked" him she bit him in the throat, breaking his neck.

After this and despite all of the pleas of the state the senator refused to adopt Althaia and again she was forced back in foster care. From both accounts of their stories the state ruled that Althaia be forced to live in a hospital care because of her "unpredictable behavior and her genetic and physical disorder" (as diagnosed by the head doctor) and no one would take her.

What the nursing staff had the most trouble doing was getting her to eat, which she rarely did, if at all. She regularly had to be sedated from her violent seizures and fierce temper tantrums. The only reason she was kept alive was because someone didn't want her to die, someone who was very powerful and that someone was responsible for Althaia severe case of amnesia.

This story goes along with an English assignment that our class had a while ago. All I did was tweak it a bit and it turned into a Dark-Hunter fanfic. Sorry if it's all confusing. It would just be useless to write all of that into the story. Thanx for reading, I'll appreciate if you left a review.
