I am starting a drabble series! I've named it "Understanding" because each drabble is a step further in exploring the A:TLA world. There will be drabbles about many different pairings and characters. Each drabble is unconnected to the others, unless I say otherwise. I'm open to challenges and suggestions, so include any you think of in your review! Enjoy drabble number one!

So he stretched out his arm toward the girl. "Take my hand," he said, his voice muffled by the mask.
Timidly, she curled her fingers around his, allowing him to lead her away, down the alley and into the dark and uncertain future.
Little did she know, those first steps would change her life forever.
