A/N: This is my first fanfic so please just be honest…(and gentle :)) Warning you ahead of time I don't know what to rate this, but for now I'll just say PG-13. If you see any mistakes just let me know and I'll fix them right away. Anyway, onto the prologue…

The little girl sniffled, as she existed the elevator. Her brother had put her in there, sent her to a different floor than what she lived on and now she didn't know where she was. She was still too short and couldn't reach the buttons, but was too scared to use the stairs.
She peeked her head out of the safety of the elevator and looked down the hallway one way only to see it was completely empty. She looked the other way and saw something outside one of the larger doors. She played with her hair and took a hesitant step closer, leaving her area of safety, and heard some noises causing her to pause.
It was a low growling and a hissing noise. She squinted her eyes and saw two dark shapes, one larger than the other, in the corner. She took a few more steps closer and saw that it was a dog that had cornered a cat. She frowned when she saw that the poor little cat was in trouble. She had to help it!
Without thinking she ran on her little legs over and put herself between the cat and the dog.
"Bad Doggie! Leave kitty alone!" She said frowning at the dog. Why was it picking on something smaller than it? The poor little kitty cat!
"I won't let that bad doggie hurt you kitty," she said. Turning around she pet the cat on the head before picking the even smaller creature up in her arms.
The dog barked and took a step closer. She frowned further but kept the kitten in her clutches and hugged it closer to her body.
"Bad Doggie! Bad go away!" She stated her little voice rising as she took a small step back. The dog let out a low growl but the sound of a door opening took the focus away from the small girl.
"Scat Dog," a smooth pretty voice spoke out, but within it was a hard note. The dog knew it was outnumbered, turned the other way and began trotting down the hall and into its home, out of sight.
The little girl looked up and saw a pretty lady. She was older, a little younger than her mommy though. But the thing that caught her attention was the woman's startling green eyes. They were very pretty.
The older woman kneeled down next to the little girl holding her kitten.
"That was a very brave thing you did," she spoke up with a gentle smile on her face.
"I wanted to help the kitty cat," the little girl answered looking down at the dark kitten in her arms, which was in turn looking at her with her golden eyes.
The woman smiled even further before questioning, "You like kitty cats?"
The little girl looked up and smiled a bright smile, "I love them!" she exclaimed before looking back at the cat. "I would have a lot, but mommy said that I'm too young for a kitty," she looked up at the woman suddenly, "but when I can, I'm gonna get a whole bunch, in lots of colors!" With her exclamation the little girl rubbed her cheek against the soft fur of the kittens head giggling when she heard the kittens purr.
The woman smiled down at the little girl. It seemed her prayers had been answered in the form of this tiny child with bright blue eyes that peered up at her with excitement. Her head was covered in fair blond hair that was past her shoulders and red chubby cheeks graced her face. The child was definitely cute.
"What's your name darling?" the woman questioned and she saw the little girl frown suddenly and look down at the ground.
"Mommy said I'm not suppose to talk to strangers," she said quietly before meeting her gaze with wide eyes. "Will she be mad at me?" she questioned with a small voice and the pretty lady smiled gently.
"No sweetheart she won't be," she held out her hand and the little girl looked at it, "My name is Selina, I live right here in this apartment and the kitten you're holding's named Isis." The little girl still looked wary, like she wanted to trust her but didn't want to get in trouble.
"Now were not strangers anymore, you can come back here and play with Isis anytime you want," she said and saw the little child's' eyes light up. Slowly she put her little hand in the bigger one.
"My name's Serenity and I live downstairs."
"Wow, what a pretty name! How old are you Serenity?"
The little girl responded by holding up six little digits.
"I like this kitty!" the little girl stated out of the blue and hugged the kitten closer. Selina smiled at the girl, things were definitely looking up.
"She likes you too," She stated stroking the cats head herself. She looked down at her watch and frowned.
"Do you know what floor your own sweetie? I don't want your mommy to worry." The little girls face scrunched up for a moment in concentration before holding up three little fingers then putting one down, and then up again.
"We're on the top floor now," she started and the child's lower lip started to tremble.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find your way back," she stated holding out her hand to the little girl again. This time she took it without question.
They both made there way to the elevator before Selina turned to the little girl and smiled.
"You can still come visit me and Isis any time you want," she said wiping a lone tear off the child's cheek, "do you remember where I live?" and Serenity nodded with a smile.
"Good, now let's remember where you live."
Selina smiled, this was the start of something wonderful.
