Prologue

She lays on her bed, asleep and peaceful, unsuspecting of what lies ahead for her. And why should she suspect a thing, she has lived a normal life up until now, her adoptive parents haven't ever done a thing to harm her. They've sheltered her when they were supposed to, and given her freedom when it was allowed. She usually got along well enough with her older brother, but really, who doesn't fight with their siblings on occasion?

She's changing though, and she may not realize it just yet, but it's happening. It starts with the physical things first. She has more balance now then she had a month ago, her muscle-tone is firmer, and she could probably tie in arm-wrestling with her brother now, who is a football player. Her skin-tone, which was a rich tan color, is now a shade lighter, her hair is growing one sixteenth longer. Later on, it'll be her sleep patterns, then her eating habits, that's where I come in.

You may be wondering who I am, and you will find out soon enough, I'll be the tall one with the black hair and equally black eyes. I am to watch over her until she is ready to be taken back to headquarters with me. And by headquarters, I mean the palace where Lord Vaughn resides.

Lord Vaughn is very powerful, his only weakness is caring for others, and he cares for this girl, deeply. Why, I cannot reveal at this time, but you will find out soon enough. Anyway, this girl was sent away from the palace when she was born, for protection purposes. But now, she cannot be kept away any longer, it would be dangerous to all those around her. If she is anything like her real father, she will be quite adamant when all of this is finally sprung on her, she might even try to fight, which would be quite foolish, if you ask me. But I like to think that she will be reasonable enough to look at all sides of the story, and take into account the changes that she herself has endured.

This hasn't happened many times, what she is going through. It is a rare thing, a phenomenon, if you will, to see something like this; someone like her. It lets us know that she will be strong, and just for that, I hold the highest respect for her already. Not that I would let anyone know that, I keep a cool, unemotional exterior, but it doesn't mean I have no feelings, because believe me; I do.

Alright well, it is in the early hours of dawn now, I must become scarce; for she is an early riser, but I will still be keeping an eye out for her, it is my duty.


Yes, a new story. This doesn't mean I'm leaving TLP, but I'm experiencing some writer's block, and nothing helps me get over that like starting something new.
