(Author's Note: Hey. This story is something I just thought up one night while working on another one. I got this question in my head: What if the end of the game was different? What if only one life was taken instead of two? So the next day I sat down and started to type. And this is what I came up with…

Chapter 1
Why? Why did it always hurt like this? Why was it always so cold? These questions and more drifted through his mind. The 10 year old boy curled up into a ball in the room's farthest corner. He wanted to just sink into the floor and be forgotten…but that wouldn't happen.
It never did.
A silver bang fell in front of his face. Without thinking he brushed it out of his bright green eyes. He wrapped his arms around his knees and pulled them to his chest trying to get warm. He buried his face against his arms. He didn't want to be a soldier. All he wanted was a home and parents.
Did he even have parents?
He still felt the sting from the slap of the professor's hand when he had asked about his parents early that day. What was the matter with asking that?
"Heh…I guess I really am alone in the world…or this life I'm stuck in…" he said to himself. He needed sleep but he didn't want to go to sleep. When he woke up it would only be closer for the time of his next visit to that madman's lab…

The 8 year old girl wrapped her arms around herself as she sat up after being thrown into her room. Room? Cell was more like it. Her cell…the only place she had to go besides that lab. She shivered. She hated this place…but it was all she had. She wondered briefly if anyone else felt as lonely and…what was the word she was looking for?
Dead?
Yes that was it. She felt dead inside. She had nothing. She pushed her thought from her head. Of course no one else felt this way! She was the only one that the professor tortured…wasn't she?
Sighing she sat down and brushed her royal blue hair out of her bright green eyes. She wanted to go to sleep and forget this place and the pain. But it was a long time before she finally did fall asleep.
