a/n. Well, as this is my first fanfic EVER, (No wait! Don't go! I promise, it's not that bad:P) I'm busy trying to figure this whole thing out so please understand if something about it is suddenly terribly wrong, then it's me trying to get it right...Anyways, if you think this is crap tell me WHY you think so, so I'll learn from it. My reason to write this story? As you might have realized it's about Shelke, and for a small part about Shalua(or a very big part, I don't know yet) and for a very tiny little part about Vincent. The actual reason: there are absolutely NO fanfics about Shelke and Shalua together(not that I know of) and almost NO fanfics of Shelke before DoC. I don't know if I'll continue this...I don't know if I can...(dotdotdot) Enjoy!

Abducted

'Stop crying Shelke.'

'But…but…'

'It's all right,
Mom just returned to The Planet.
We'll see her again.'

'We…we will?'

Is this?

'Yes, of course we will.'

Shalua?

'Mom said; everything in this world moves around in a circle,
that means she'll come back one day.
Mom wouldn't lie to us,
right?'

'R…ight.'

'Right.'

A dream?

A scream cut through the silence of the night.

"Shaluaa!!"

She jerked awake.

"Shelke?"

Who?
Suddenly she became aware of the other people in the room.

"Shalua!! Help!
I don't want to go!"

She half-jumped, half-stumbled out of bed. What was happening? Where was …?

"What…what's going on?"

A man stepped forward from those standing in the doorway -it seemed that they had been just about to leave. He wore some sort of uniform she didn't recognise. She heard him sigh.
He lifted his hand and gave a sign to the men behind him.

"Is she your little sister?"

Shelke stumbled forward. Shalua could see she was crying, even in the dim light.

"Yes… But… who are you? What…"

The man cut her of.

"You will never see her again, is that understood?"

She blinked; she needed a few seconds to realize what he meant.

"What…I will never…What! What do you mean?! No!"

She dashed forwards; trying to reach Shelke, but the man caught her and kept her away from her sister. She heard him curse under his breath. So much for the diplomatic approach.

"No! Shelke!"

The man holding her gestured to the others, they nodded and grasped the struggling Shelke.

Shelke's eyes widened.
"Shalua! Hel...!" Suddenly, Shelke stopped moving.
Something reflected the beam of moonlight and she could just see how it was pulled back out of Shelke's arm.

Shalua stopped. She stared at her sister unbelievingly. Then, she began to struggle even harder.

Was Shelke...? No! No!

"What…What did you do to her?!
Shelke! Shelke!"

She had to reach her, she had to!

The man had a hard time holding on to her.
"She can't hear you. Now stop struggling and forget you ever had a sister. That will be better for the both of you."

She didn't listen.

"No! Shelke! Where are you taking her! Stop it!"

One of the other men was lifting Shelke and taking her away, and she couldn't do anything about it, she couldn't stop them, she couldn't even reach them, she couldn't reach Shelke, she just couldn't. She wanted to scream.

Another man approached her. She saw the same shiny thing in his hand.

"Sedate this one as well, come on hurry! This is taking far too long; this girl shouldn't even have woken up!" The one who held her snapped at him.

The other one nodded and knelt beside her.
The words were tumbling through Shalua's head. He grasped her violently moving arm and set the strange thing to it. It felt cold, and it clicked as somewhere in her mind the words fell into place.

"What? N..!"

Darkness

She woke up.
She had a headache and something felt wrong; somehow out of place.

"What…happened?" She mumbled.

She groaned; her throat hurt.
She tried to remember; why was she lying on the floor? Where was…?
She gasped.

"Shelke!!"

Forgetting her headache and her painfully aching muscles, she scrambled up and ran outside.
Desperately she searched for her sister, those men, any sign that Shelke was still there, that she could still save her.

There was nothing that indicated that any other person than she herself was there; nothing moved, no sound was heard. They were gone.

She couldn't believe it.
She didn't want to believe it; Shelke wasn't gone, she couldn't be; she just couldn't be.

But she wasn't able to deny the truth for very long, and she just couldn't hold back the tears when she realized that it didn't matter what she believed; it wouldn't change the facts.
The sudden rush of adrenaline faded, and strength rapidly trickled away from her weakened muscles. Her knees buckled and she fell to the ground.

She hadn't cried many times in her life; Shelke had always been the one who cried and she the one who comforted her. She hadn't even cried when their mother had died, remembering what their mother told them about the lifestream and that she would return.

But now…

Shelke, her little sister, was taken away, taken away from her, and she hadn't stopped it, hadn't stopped them. She couldn't think of a reason why they had taken Shelke. She didn't even know who had taken her.

"How did they…? Why…Why did they…?

Her tears and thoughts were out of control and her mind clouded, but one thing was clear: she should have done something; she should have saved her.

"I…I'm so sorry Shelke. I…couldn't…I…I will find you Shelke, I promise."

Shalua wiped away her tears and tried to stifle her sobs. She looked up; the stars twinkled in the dark sky.

"I promise." She whispered.

a/n. Well? What do you think?
