Before reading this story here's a quick background of what it's about. This story is an AU or alternate universe for those who don't know what AU stands for (trust me I didn't know what it was for a while lol) storyline. It's something I wanted to tackle for a while but had difficulty putting together. The main storyline focus is on Elisa and the turmoil she faces after an encounter with an ancient artifact. Making her relive her past but also solve the mystery of the artifact. Hope you enjoy the story. Please fill free to leave your comments.

Cloudy gray sky…coldness circling the air…the rain falling gently to the ground, as though tears were falling down someone's cheek. For some they see this as a chance to rest at home, cuddle in a warm blanket, and drinking hot coco with their loved ones. But not for a young ten year old girl dressed in black, standing in front a grave site. To her, a day like today will forever be cemented in her brain.

Standing in front of the grave, tears flow down as the young girl stares at the headstone in front of her.

Peter Maza

July 15, 1944

April 25, 1979

Beloved Husband, Father of three, Decorated Officer

Young Elisa Maza wiped away the tears though she thought it was pointless because it just made her cry even more.

"Oh daddy, why did you have to leave us? Mommy's all alone now. Beth and Derek are alone now. I'm all alone now!" More tears fell down her cheek. Elisa felt angry at her father for leaving them but mostly she felt guilty for not being with her father that day. The day that would change their lives forever. She slowly walked up to the tombstone and placed her small hand on top.

"I'm sorry daddy. I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most. I was selfish to you too. If it wasn't for me…you…you would still be here with us. But I promise you I will protect mommy, Derek and Beth. I will be there for them no matter what. I'll be a good girl to mommy too. I'll grow up to be a detective just like you so I can protect others. So nothing like this happens to anyone else. I love daddy."She rubbed the tombstone and removed her hand. Elisa then felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Come Elisa it's time to go." Her mother said.

"Yes, mom." Elisa took one last look at her father's grave and walked away. Little did she know her mother heard everything she said to her father.

"She's so much like you Peter. I know that she's going to keep her promise though I am not thrilled at the idea of her being a police officer." Diane placed her hand in the tombstone.

"Here's my promise to you. I promise to raise the children in a way that will make you proud. I will do everything in my power to give them the guidance they need to lead them to their true path." She lends forward and kisses the stone.

"Goodbye Peter, I love you now and forever." Wiping the tears away Diane walked up to Elisa. Giving her a lovely smile she took a hold of young Elisa's hand and headed home.
