~~~~~~~?~~~~~~~
I feel nothing. Cold, black, unforgiving, nothingness.
"Who am I? What is this place? What am doing here? " I yell into the darkness. " Where's mommy and daddy?" I hear no answer. I hold my knees to my chest trying to block out the pain that sat deep within my empty chest. I had so many questions and I was getting only silence for an answer. Finally after what seemed like a millennium of sitting cold and hungry in a dark empty place, there was light. my salvation and the start of my new life.
~~~~~~~ Ghetsis POV~~~~~~~
I was on my round coming back from a meeting I just had with the seven elders at a near by cafe. it was cold and raining and I was getting soaked.
" What's with all this rain. It's been nothing but raining for the last week." I say to no one is particular since I was all other elders had stayed at the cafe to enjoy some tea and the rain. their crazy if you ask me. I pull my coat close around me. " Anyone's a fool if the think that staying out in this cold is going to be good for them. its freezing!" I say to myself.
I was almost back to the castle when I hear a tiny groan coming out of the near by bushes. " what in the world could that be?" I mutter under my breath. against all my intentions to get home before I became soaked further to the bone, I went over to the bushes to discover what had made that sound. *A small animal maybe? No, it couldn't be it sounded to human for a small animal. Who would be crazy enough to be outside in this whether * I push aside some bushes to discover something that would chance my life forever. Well not as much something as someone! a little girl who could be no older that 4 or 5 lay in front of me. Her long purple hair and dress were streaked with a mixture of blood and dirt. she was curled in on herself shaking, whether it was from fear or the cold didn't know. I kneel down beside her and touch my hand to her forehead. I immediately pull away. She was burning up, and needed medical attention badly. I scoop her up into my arms, and run home as fast as I could. I had so many questions about this mysterious girl but now wasn't the time to ask them.
I arrive at the steps of the castle and reach for the door when the girls little hand reach's and grabs a hand full of my coat. I look down at the hand then at her face. I could feel a aura of power coming off or her. *Who is this girl? * I ask my self when the door opens and my son Natural steps out.
" Daddy your back!" he exclaims happily. After seeing the girl in my arms his face falls and he runs to my side touching the girls face.
" W-what happened father? why's she hurt?" he asks sympathetically.
" I don't know, but she need medical attention come on help me get her inside." and with that we walk inside. Little did we know this moment would change our lives forever.
