Sorry for the bad summary before ^^;

EDIT: Yeah, I had to change it, when ever I saw this chapter it made me cringe.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Dawn Berlitz, an 11 year old girl with strikingly blue hair cursed as she sat under an immense tree, trying to stop the thick red liquid from oozing out of the gash in her leg which she'd made after tripping over a large tree root.

She could feel more tears building up in her sapphire blue eyes, yet she wiped them away as quickly as she could, hating to feel so weak. She'd already cried enough within the last four hours than she'd ever wanted to in her entire life time.

She rocked silently back and fourth, trying to bring some comfort to her small stature. She was slowly regretting her decision, wishing that she'd never left her home, her mother and her best friends behind.

She'd flunked her first mission, she'd refused to carry out the task required; she wasn't ready. She'd never previously questioned any objective set by the higher ups before, why had she now?! Because you couldn't kill him, he had a family. She reminded herself. She hadn't wanted to kill that man and caused the family pain. That was the reason she'd run. The reason she'd questioned her first mission or the integrity of the facility, despite being trained to kill, she wasn't ready.

"What am I doing…" she muttered, her voice cracking. "I'm such and idiot! Mum has no one now!" She growled, digging her fingernails into her arms, in an attempt to punish herself. She sat there like that for a few more minutes, cursing and putting herself down for her foolish actions, realising that her father, being the highly regarded agent that he was, was most likely turning in his grave right now.

There was no point in going back; she'd most likely be killed, yet she'd probably be hunted anyway, the company which she was from could not have any rogues wandering about, in case they were to be caught by their enemies and tortured for information or handed themselves in.

Dawn's father had died on a mission, it was an honourable death she had been told, apparently he'd sacrificed his life for the good of the company, Team Rocket they were called. Dawn had always though it was a stupid name, something a child would make up if they were playing pretend games with their friends, not an institution full of assassins, scientists and very important business related people which was seen, from the outside world, as merely a very successful weapons manufacturer.

Her head snapped up as a twig broke from what sounded like a few meters away from her, she had to be quick yet quiet if she had any chance in escaping what was most likely going to be an agent in search for her. She knew that the cover of the night would hide her somewhat; however the person was likely wearing night vision goggles.

As quickly and as quietly as she could, Dawn hauled herself onto the first branch of the tree, and then the second, and so on until she was sure she was covered by a sufficient amount of leaves and in less danger due to the height. Sure enough, she spotted someone not far away appearing to be scouring the area. Unsurprisingly, he was wearing the usual black hoodie and track suit bottoms, most likely over the flexible armour which their scientists especially designed for the company, however, the scarf which is usually wrapped around the bottom of the face was tied around his head and his hood pulled down.

The man looked to be in his late teens, he had very long, purple hair which was tied roughly up in a pony tail. He looked oddly familiar to the girl, yet she ignored the thought, ducking behind the leaves, positioning herself ready to jump down and make a run for it if need be.

Eventually, the purple haired man disappeared and Dawn was able to let herself down. She continued in the direction she had been heading in before she'd cut her leg, her limp getting continually worse as she tried to make her way out of the dense forest she'd fled to.

She had no idea what she was going to do, but she knew that somehow she'd make it. She wondered if her friends and mother knew she was gone and if they were worried. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of these thoughts, deciding that she just needed to focusing on what was happening to her at present instead as the company was most likely still looking for her, and would be until she was found alive or confirmed dead.

Eventually, she sighed in relief as the amount of trees lessened and the sunlight began to stream though. As she arrived on the other side, she came to a large road which didn't seem very busy. She looked to her left and right, deciding to follow it as she knew it'd lead her to the closest town or city.

She'd almost passed out from fatigue as she reached her destination. It was a rather large city, buildings towered up ahead and the traffic had increased dramatically. She eventually made her way to a small alley way, hidden from the view of the early risers. Sliding down one of the narrow walls, her eyes began to droop and she soon drifted off, unsure of the future which awaited her.

She eventually found a way to join the schools, knowing that a better education would better her chances in this world. The only way she could properly survive however was by stealing. This feat was easy for her, due to her previous training at the facility. She still knew that Team Rocket was looking for her due to the subtle hints she found every now as again. She moved from place to place, never staying stationary for any more than a month. This however made keeping her grades up an exceptionally hard deed.

The years began to pass and she'd been able to manage in the world fairly well despite the circumstances she was under. She had, however, had her fair hare of scrapes with the company, one leaving her extremely injured and near death. Nevertheless, being the strong, optimistic and resilient person that she was, she managed to push on through the hard times, her determination to live and never return to that corrupt place kept her going.

Deep down, she knew that they'd eventually catch up with her, trapping her and either killing her, or dragging her back to that god forsaken place. A part of her wanted to go back, to see her mother's warm smile again or her best friends' beaming faces.
