An escape pod hurtled through space. It started to descend to Earth. It picked up speed, but as soon as it entered the ozone layer, it slowed itself down and began to land on its own. It finally touched the ground near a small town in Missouri. A couple saw its descent, and rushed to the site to see it open on its own. The couple was the newly married William and Rachael Hunter. They approached it cautiously, peering inside. There, they saw an infant in the lonely seat. He had black hair, but when the sun shone on it, the hair lit up blue. The infant opened his eyes, which were an electric blue. They picked up the baby boy, and almost immediately, he started crying. "It's okay, little one," Rachael cooed. "You're safe now.". He stopped crying and looked up, a smile across his face. William had an excellent eye, and had spotted something else that was in the seat. He picked it up, and it played a message. "This is Ephraim and Mira Bridger. If you found our son, and are reading this now, please know that we had no choice.".
8 Years later...
"Ezra!" Ezra heard his a father call out to him. He got off of the tire swing that hung from the tree that grew next to the fence. He lived at a farm, which he liked because of all the animals he could be around and communicate with. He ran into the house where he was summoned. "Yeah, dad?" he replied, wondering why he was called. His father was standing next to a drawing that was on the table, looking down at it, hand on his chin. "Did you draw this?" he asked. Ezra nodded, "Like it?". He held it up, then smiled. "Like it? I love it?" he kneeled down, and Ezra hugged him. "I love you, dad.".
Nicki Grey walked along the dirt road, looking at the horses on the other side of the fence. She heard barking as her parents walked to the house, which had blue paint. "Now remember, Nicki," her mother whispered. "Don't get into trouble.". Her father rung the doorbell, and she heard the thumping of feet coming from inside, and the door opened to reveal a boy around her age with electric blue eyes and bluish black hair standing in the doorway. "Hello!" he skilled as he greeted them. Nicki was shy, so she waved while smiling. His parents came into view, both seeming friendly. "Hector! Lori! Glad you two could make it!" the man greeted. Turning to the kid, he added, "Ezra, why don't you show her your room?". Ezra nodded, and Nicki followed him into the house and up the stairs. The small hallway led to several rooms, but he led her to a room with no door, and inside there were toys strewn across the room, a TV to the left, a bookshelf to the right, and a bed in the corner. "Whoa... I don't have this much stuff." she gazed in awe at his room. Ezra nodded, then asked, "So, what's your name?". Nicki smiled, "I'm Nicki.".
