As I mentioned in One For All, here is the first chapter to a new story that I am writing and as you can see from the title, it is a prequel to One For All. I wont really reveal too much but I will say that this story is mainly about Sophia and her back story, starting from her escape at the Orphanage, leading up to her meeting Jordan. This story will be really short (3 chapter at most) and will consist of short chapters. But it does give back story about Sophia and I hope you enjoy.

If your enjoying the story so far, feel free to leave feedback.

Disclaimer:

Associated characters and locations belong to Insomniac games, I only own some characters and locations presented in this story.

P.S. Since this is before One For All, I will be referring Sophia as Lombax or girl in this story.

And you won't have to hide away

"Give it back"

a voice can be heard from the main play area of the orphanage as two 10 year old Cazar boys were holding a doll over their heads while a small 7 year old Lombax girl in a red shirt was trying to grab it. she kept jumping up, trying to get it and the boys just stood their and laughed. A female staff member however heard the commotion and quickly stepped in and took the doll from the boys.

"Alright that's enough from you two, now get to bed, both of you" she said and pointed in the direction of the guys quarters.

"Ok" the boys said in frustration and they marched off down the hallway to their beds.

With all the guys in their beds now, the Lombax tried to reach for the doll again but the lady took the doll and put it in the toy box where all the toys were located. She then approached the Lombax and looked at her.

"You should be getting to bed to" She said.

"Ok" she sadly said and walked down the hallway to the girls quarters.

The Lombax opened the door and she could see all of the girls of the orphanage in their bunk beds talking to one another. The girl quietly walked to the bottom bunk of her bed and laid down. She sat there in her bed while the others talked and soon a voice could be heard outside the door.

"Lights out girls" The staff member said and the girls quickly turned the lights off in the room and they quickly got into bed. With everybody now in bed the Lombax simply just laid in her bed and slowly closed her eyes and went to sleep

not a single sound was heard through that night

8:00am

The blooming sun could now be seen as it rose over the dosile landscape of the Kyzil Plateau.

"Hey. Hey" The Lombax slowly woke up to the sound of her 8 year old female Markazian friend, Sarah. She stood over the girl with red hair and pale skin and a pink t-shirt.

"What" the girl moaned out.

"You have to get up, now Cmon" The Lombax slowly got out of bed and stood in front of her bunk getting ready for attendance. Another female staff member went into the ladies quarters with a clipboard in hand and she slowly walked past the girls and started checking off who was present. After she was done checking everyone off she told the girls to then go to the cafeteria for breakfast. All the boys and girls lined up and got their normal breakfast of cereal, fruit, and milk. After the Lombax got her meal she walked over to the table where her friend Sarah sat and they started to talk.

"So what happened last night" The Markazian said

"What do you mean" The Lombax replied

"You looked upset when you walked in"

"It was nothing, it was just those two" the girl turned around and pointed towards the two Cazars from last night.

"What did they do now"

"I was playing with a doll and they took it from me and held it above them so I couldn't get it"

"Those two are such idiots"

Sarah looked back over to the Lombax to see her head down and looked to be in distress. Sarah put a hand on the girls shoulder and lifted her head up so her eyes met with hers. "Hey" she whispered "Don't let those Bullies bring you down, you can talk to me if you have any problems, I'm here for you"

The girl slowly started to smile "Thank you" she quietly said

"Hey, were best friends right, friends watch out for each other"

The two girls then started to finish off the rest of their breakfast and soon enough it was time for the children to go outside. The two girls went outside to see the playground, consisting of a simple setup of a basketball court, seesaw, sandbox, and two swing sets. All of the boys quickly went to the basketball court and started playing basketball. The Lombax and Markazian however decided to go to the swing-set and they rocked back and forth on the swing-set, laughing along. But soon enough their recess was over and they all went inside to the main playroom. The Lombax went into the toy box and got the same doll and started to play with it. Unfortunately while playing with it, she didn't notice the two Cazar boys from before and they took the doll from her once again and held it over their heads.

"Give it back" She said again with the two boys just laughing. Her voice though got the attention of Sarah who was reading a book and slowly looked over to see the situation. Sarah put her book down and angrily walked over towards the two boys.

"Would you just leave her alone and give that back to her" she angrily said

"What are you gonna do about it girly" one of the boys said, getting a furious look in reply to the question.

"GIVE IT-" The Lombax jumped at one of the boys trying to get the doll back, but the Cazar simply pushed her back knocking her down on her butt. the boys then started to laugh and that infuriated the Markazian. through the laughter between the two boys, the girl closed her hands into a fist and punched the first boy directly in the face, causing him to fall. Seeing this the Cazar looked over towards the Markazians direction, only to be directly hit in the face by another punch. The Cazar fell and he quickly got up getting ready to punch the girl, but she dodged and punched the boy in the stomach and kicked him in the groin. The boy fell to his knees and started to cry. The other boy simply decided not to fight and help his friend up and brought him over to a male staff member, who overheard the commotion and quickly rushed towards their aid. One of the female staff members also saw this and Sarah got a scowl from one of the ladies.

The lady then walked over to Sarah and forcefully grabbed her "Cmon" she forcefully said while Sarah resisted slightly. They walked down the hallway and went through a door and went inside a room that was divided by a fence, with nothing on one side. The lady opened the gate, pushed Sarah into the divided side and locked the gate.

"Maybe some time in here will teach you how to properly behave"

"I'm not just gonna stand there and let my best friend get picked on by two rotten boys"

"Well violence isnt always the answer Sarah"

"Ahhh" Sarah yelled while waving off the lady and sitting in the corner in the fetal position.

The lady then left the room and the Lombax could be seen standing in front of the door and looking at her poor friend. But her sorrow will be quickly forgotten as the lady called all of the boys and girls to the dining room for dinner. The boys and girls all gathered at their separate tables again and the Lombax simply got chicken and orange juice. She sat by her side alone this time and started to eat her food. She then looked over by the door to see her friend walking out and getting her food. After she got her food, the Markazian walked over to join the lonely Lombax. The two girls quietly ate their dinner until they were all done. They threw the rest of their food away and sat at the table and started to converse.

"You okay" the Markazian said

"Yeah, why" the Lombax said

"Just making sure you didn't get hurt by those two guys"

"Don't worry about me"

"I should"

"Why"

"What kind of friend would I be if I didn't"

"I'm Fine Sarah"

"Well, ok then"

The lady then called all of the girls to go to their bedrooms and go to bed. The boys walked down a hallway into their room, and the girls walked down a separate hallway into their room. Once everybody was in their beds, one of the lady staff members shut off the lights and the girls fell asleep, getting ready to wake up to a new day.


And there's chapter 1 of Left Behind. As I said, these will be short chapters, But I do hope you enjoyed this and I will try to get the next chapter up soon.
