All of this belongs to me. The story, the characters, all of it. So please don't steal it. TT Please don't let the summary turn you away. I really had to cut it short from what I wanted but I'm lazy and don't want to put in a full summary. Please read and review. I really want to know if I should keep putting chapters up or not.


A young girl hides behind a pile of rubble, panting. She rocks the baby in her arms back and forth hoping it will keep the baby quiet. She holds her breath as a group of men run past. She gets up and continues running. She runs to the only place she knows of.

Tears stream down her cheeks at the thought of the alliance being gone. Or moved. The government went on a killing spree after they found a way to create a world of humans that they can command. But humans still alive are grouping together and forming alliances against the creation of humans this way.

She hated the government and the scientists that help in the creations. She hated them and what they did to her family. Her father was one of them and because of that, caused her elder brother to leave and become a leader to an alliance group. They killed her mother which forced her and her younger brother to flee. She, however, was stuck with their baby sister.

She felt the baby move and she knew she'd wake up hungry. She fell to her knees crying, knowing she had nothing to feed the baby with. And scared that the alliance had moved.

"Miss?" A female voice came from behind her and a tiny hand touched hers. She looked over and saw a little girl about 5 years standing there. An older woman kneeled next to the girl. "Miss?" She gasped as she saw the young girls face. "You!"

The girl looked at the woman a little confused. "Do you know me?"

The woman shook her head but smiled at the girl. "You're Elise? Lord Dijori's sister? Right?"

Elise looked at her wide eyed. "Yes! Please? Can you take me to him?"

The woman nodded. "Get up and follow me." They stood up. The little girl grabbed the woman's hand and Elise followed behind them. Elise stayed quiet except the constant "shh"ing to the baby. The woman led them around a few broken down and burned buildings. The woman led them into a large building that must have escaped mass destruction since it was still standing. It was the alliance. They were everywhere. The main floor must have been the gathering hall and in some cases used as a place to sleep. There were people placed on tables, the floor, mats, anything. The woman went over and talked to a young man. He nodded.

"Elise?" Elise looked up at the woman. "Come with me." Elise nodded. The woman led her through the door and up to another one. "Please go in."

Elise opened the door and entered the room. It was an odd room. She didn't know weather it was suppose to be an office or a make shift bedroom. The man that was in the chair at the desk turned around.

"Elise? Is that you?" The man asked.

"Dijori?" She ran up and hugged him.

He felt the baby move and she begun to cry. He pulled back. "Nina!"

The woman walked in. "Yes sir?"

"Take the baby and have someone feed her."

Elise looked up at Dijori and he nodded she handed the baby to Nina. "Dijori..." She waited until Nina was gone. "Mother is dead." She watched as Dijori walked backwards and sat in a chair.

"What about Josh?"

Elise shook her head. "He ran off... That baby...She isn't mine..." Dijori looked up at her. Elise was married, it was a little bit over a year. "Mine died..." Elise sat down crying. Dijori went over and sat next to her. "The baby is our sister."

"What?" Dijori was shocked.

Elise nodded. "Mother had her before she died."

Dijori wrapped his arms around Elise and held her tight. "That's it. You're staying here. I'm not letting you go again.

Elise frowned. "But you have enough people to watch over."

"I don't care!" He held her out at arms length. "You're my sister. I have to protect you." He paused. "What's the baby's name?" He asked.

"Iya." Elise answered.

Dijori smiled. "Sounds like a name mother would come up with. I'll have to introduce myself to her and see how she likes me." He let go of Elise. "Nina?"

Nina walks in. "Yes?"

"How's the baby?"

"She's fine sir. She's been fed and is now asleep."

"Thank you Nina." He watches her bow and leave. Talking to Elise, "You should get some sleep." She nods and stands up. Dijori stands and hugs her again. "I should have been there for you guys."

"It's ok." She smiles. "I'll go find Iya and get some sleep."

Dijori nodded. Elise left the room. He waited until he couldn't hear her. He punched the nearest wall. "Damn it!" He cringed slightly. "Why...? Why did this have to happen? Men are chasing my sisters. My brother is missing and my mother is dead. And it's all because of that man. I will kill him. You hear that old man?! I'll kill you!"
