So this as both an AU Story and an OC story. With regular appearances from the Shannons and all other Terra Nova Charaters.
I don't own anything but the plot, and the characters Dani and other minor Charaters. I.E. Bartin and the Luiga Family.
This is a story to raise awareness for both sex slave trafficking and child trafficking, they go hand in hand.
For every five reviews on this story I get, I will put five dollars into a jar. At the end of the story, I will give the money from the jar to a non profit organization called love 146. They help prevent child sex slaves and rehabilitate any they find, rescue or come to them.
This story might get very dark, and may get angsty. It goes into a lot of the main characters past and how it has destroyed her through the years.
Danielle Luiga sat staring at the wall. Her father has sold her to someone in the past, rather the future of her existence.
At least it was somewhere where she wouldn't die. But that didn't make things better.
Having finished packing her bags hours ago and getting her physical exam, she stared at the results of the test. Apparently she was clean. Perfectly healthy after everything.
That was surprising.
Dani, as her customers called her, looked in the mirror. She was described as beautiful with olive toned skin, dark brown eyes and shapely brows above them. Her hair was so curly that she pulled it back into a large pony tail. Only the long bangs that she brushed to the side, across her forehead were straight.
She wasn't tall, but she was svelte, thin with curves in all the right places. And full lips, high cheekbones. Perfect for what her father and other did to her.
"Time to go." Her father's accented voice called down and she grabbed her items, running down to meet him.
He handed her over to the service men to take her to the portal, fear running through her veins.
She climbed into the bus, another family already there.
An older woman and daughter with the same olive tones as Dani and a boy with pale skin, brown hair and blue eyes. The three of them looked nervous and shifty, but Dani didn't mind. Just keep to yourself. It's what she always did.
"Next stop Hope Plaza." She whispered beneath her breath.
.

.
Walking through the huge portal building she kept close to the family she rode with, noting that they were joined by a man who had pale skin, brown hair and blue eyes, he must be the father of the family.
But why didn't he ride with them, and why were they all so tense?
Being pushed through before the boy and girl went, Dani felt a mask over her face. At first she was scared, but when she realized it was helping her breath, she let all her muscles relax.
She watched as the family she followed closely circled the bag the father was carrying, and opened it to reveal a little girl.
Smugglers! They were just as bad as Dani's own father, selling her to pay off debts.
"She's our daughter, don't hurt her please!" the man yelled as he relinquished the gun he held.
No, they were smugglers, they were evil.
She set her jaw and stood up, might as well find her new owner.
.
.
.
They finally got to Terra Nova, she was awed by the jungle around them and the little civilization. Maybe this would be easier, in a good place.
But there was always evil everywhere.
.
.
.
"Who are you?" a woman with black hair a hard set jaw, pale skin, but tanned, and dark eyes asked her, in a way Dani liked her. She felt safe with this strong woman whom most of the men bowed to.
"Dani, Luiga." Stating with an ease, "I'm looking for Captain Bartin."
She sighed, "Died, last week, do you have another place to stay?" Watching the young girl shake her head, "I'll find you a place to stay."
Nodding she took a seat on a bench and laid her head back. Maybe this was for the best?
.
.
.
The woman came back and introduced herself. "I'm Lieutenant Alicia Washington, you will not steal from, throw wild parties in, or be general stupid or immature in my house. Clear." Nodding her head vigorously she smiled, this woman was one of the law, she would never hurt her. Didn't mean she would every cross the older woman.
They set off towards the housing units. Dani keeping up with the no nonsense woman.
.
.
.
Standing at the door to the guest bedroom she smiled, it was simple, but she liked it. "My mother was supposed to come, but cancer got the best of her. You keep your room clean, pick up after yourself, and we'll get along just fine." She stated before leaving her to unpack.
She unpacked her small bag, just her favorite dress, only nice dress she had. A book her mother left her and her teddy bear. Other than the clothes she wore, that's all she had.
When the woman came back she looked at the things on her bed, raising a brow she asked is this it, silently.
The young girl smiled, at least she had this.
"School's tomorrow. At nine, don't be late."
Before Dani could say something the woman let the house, heading for the Command center.
Guess she could go out too.
.
.
.
Walking through the Market she saw the family from earlier, but the little girl seemed happy. "Maddy, why don't you have to go to school?"
"Because I skipped grades, now go finish unpacking." The older girl said, As Dani approached.
She caught the girl before she could ent er the house and pulled her close. "You're smart?" The older one nodded with some apprehension. "Can….Can you teach me how to…read?"
This girl was astounded by the lack of education in her. "On one condition," She waited patiently for the girl to continue. "You have to be nice, I won't deal with a bully." Dani smiled on her face as she nodded.
For the first time she felt good. Everything was on track. She hoped.
Dani had this thing whenever it was just her. She could take care of herself when she was on her own, was even learning a different language before she left.
.
.
.
Before she went to bed she told Alicia about her deal with Maddy, the woman was just as surprised as Maddy Shannon was, and nodded, "As soon as you can, you will be in school."
"Yes, Ma'am." The soldier sat up and glared,
"I feel old when someone calls me that. Call me Alicia." The girl nodded. She turned to go, but Alicia called out, "Why haven't you been to school?"
"Dad said I was a better slave." She whispered, and left, hoping the woman didn't hear her.
.

The man crept forward, that sick smile they all had on their faces. She cried out, fighting against her bindings. Her father had sold her again.
Because he cared for her brother more than her. She was a problem child, she was the collateral for anything her father owed.
He was on top of her, red hair and green eyes staring into her. Hungry for what she has, and what he would take form her.
She remembered this man. Her father took her brother to the doctor, couldn't pay, so sold her to the man.
At the time she was five. And back in her five year old body as he hit her, moved above her.
Hurt her.
Calling her names, beating her….raping her.
The memories will never leave her. Always meeting her in her dreams.
Please review, I am aiming at giving love 146 at least a hundred dollars.
