Chapter One
Dear family,
Now that I am an adult, I think it is time that I do what is best for me. While I don't know what that is yet, I have to assume that the answer is out there somewhere. So, I am leaving to go find it. You all know that I have always wanted to travel the galaxy and experince new things and hopefully somewhere along the way I will learn a lot about myself. By the time you all read this I will already be gone in one of the new 4 seater spacecraft units that dad just put on the market yesterday. Don't worry about me, I will be fine and don't send someone to find me. I will call as soon as I am settled. I have to find my destiny.
Love Always
Shepard
" I am going to kill that boy when I see him again, if I see him again." the husky old man said while throwing the note in the trash.
" That is the reason he left a note instead of telling us himself, John." the elderly woman said as she looked at her husband who was pacing the kitchen left and right." I wounder where his first stop will be?" she continued while her husband stared out the window at the empty spot his new 4 seater spacecraft used to be.
"Yeah, I wonder too..."
Six hours later...
" Welcome to the Citadel Mr. John Shepard Jr." said Avina.
"Please just call me Shepard."
" Of course Mr. Shepard. If you need any assistance please do not hesitate to ask." said Avina
"Thank You."
"You are welcome, Mr Shepard, have a great day." said Avina
"Hey stop, somebody stop that woman." screamed an C-Sec officer while running through a crowd of people behind Shepard.
Shepard did his best to move fast enough but it was too late. The officer crashed right into him without any warning.
"Get out of the way kid." the officer screamed as he sprang to his feet and continued his persute.
Shepard got to his feet wondering what woman the officer was chasing as he did not see anyone run past him before the officer crashed into him.
"I've only been here for five minutes and already some action comes my way, this is great" Shepard thought to himself. "I better get settled and get something to eat I am starved" he said.
Just as Shepard was about to walk over and get a cab, an out of breath young woman asks him if he had seen a credit chit lying around.
"No I haven't. Are you okay, you seem out of breath" he asked the girl
"I am fine" the girl said and began to walk away.
"Hey wait, your not the woman the C-Sec officer was just chasing are you?" he asked.
"I don't know what you are talking about" she said quickly and she began to walk away again.
There was something about this girl that peeked Shepard's interest but he couldn't put his finger on it. So he did what every young man would do when interested in a young girl, he followed her.
The girl moved very quickly, almost cat like. Shepard had a hard time keeping up at first but the more he followed her the more he wanted to know about this girl. As he followed her he noticed she kept looking around to see if anyone was watching her or following her. This made Shepard think that maybe the girl knew he was following her.
"Where is she in a hurry to?" he thought to himself.
Just then the girl ducked off into a coridor down in the wards. Shepard turned the corner and she was gone. "Where did she go?" he thought.
Just then the girl jumped out and drop kicked him in the stomach.
"Ouch" Shepard grunted and fell to the ground.
"Why are you following me? What do you want?" the girl screamed down at Shepard as he lay on the ground clutching his stomach in pain.
"I just wanted to talk to you" Shepard manged to say through the pain.
"Talk to me for what? Abou what?" the girl screamed.
"I am sorry I didn't mean to scare you" said Shepard as he attempted to get up.
"You didn't scare me but you were following me" she said.
"I know, I am sorry, I just wanted a chance to talk to you." "I thought that maybe you were in some kind of trouble and that I could help" he said
"No I am fine, I can take care of myself". she said still looking as if she was ready to kick him again.
"I can see that as you just kicked my stomach into my kidneys" he said smiling and sweating as he held his stomach.
"Look kid, I don't know who you are and I don't care, stop following me and leave me alone." she said angryly with her hands balled up into fists.
"Okay fine, just tell me your name" Shepard said
"Why? What does it matter?" she asked looking confused.
"I just want a name to put with those beautiful green eyes of yours. Plus seeing as I will never forget this plessant meeting, I would like to retell this story someday and I don't want to have to refer to you as the girl who kicked my stomach into my spleen." he said jokingly.
The girl seemed to soften a bit but still with caution she answered
"Selina Kyle".
