I own nothing from Trinity Blood.

The sound of a heart monitor broke the silence in the room. The girl that Abel and Hugue had found was still unconscious after three days in the Vatican Clinic under the watchful eye of Profressor William Wordworth. Besides the wounds and scars on her feet and wrists, they found many small circular scars in the bend of both arms and wasn't sure what to make of them even though they knew the small scars were from needles or IVs.

"Professor, any change?" Caterina entered the room where the girl laid as William changed her IV bag.

"Not too much," William sighed. "She is starting to get her color back and her heart rates as well as her breathing are not so erratic, but not at normal levels."

"Did you figure out who she is?"

"No, not a thing. We ran her blood, prints, everything we could think of and nothing comes up every time. It's like she doesn't exist in documentation. Why would she just suddenly be left near Rome and what set off Kate's radars?"

"There are just too many questions concerning the child," Vaclav Havel spoke as he entered the room. "Abel mentioned something not too long ago, that Hugue reacted strangely when he saw her face. Said that she reminded him of someone he lost a long time ago. What if he really does know her?"

"Where is he now?"

"Disappeared again," Vaclav sighed. "Towards Russia I think."

"Great," Caterina growled. "Make sure to notify me as soon as there are any changes."

"Of course Cardinal Caterina," William bowed his head before the red clad blonde stormed out of the room. "Cardinal Fancesco being stubborn again?"

"Isn't it always like that between the two?" Vaclav asked with a small smile before leaving.

William sighed as he stared down at the unconscious girl. She had been cleaned up; her her fair skin was mostly unblemished until you got to her elbows and knees where it was scarred down to her wrists and ankles. Her hair was a color that even Caterina envied, the color of a true gold. All in all, the girl looked to be about twelve or thirteen a sure how far off he was.

William sighed again as he ran a hand through his hair and walked over to the desk in the corner of the large room and sat down. He was drained from monitoring the child the last 72 hours and was past exhaustion. As soon as he sat, he felt his eyelids start to droop...

A quiet whimper jerked William back to consciousness and he looked over at the single occupied bed out of the ten there. He saw movement and got to his feet and hurried over just as the girl opened her eyes that were a pale blue-grey. Her head moved from side to side before she bolted into a sitting position as the heart monitor sped up.

"It's alright," William spoke quickly and she screamed. William held up his hands as he started to walk closer. "Your safe here..."

The girl ignored him as she jerked off the wires and IV and slid off the bed, only to collapse to the ground. Shocked, William watched as the girl struggled to her feet, putting no weight on her left leg as she hoped to the wall and used it to steady herself. William came to his senses when she got close to the door and moved so he was in her way so she couldn't open it.

"You cannot leave child," William spoke soothingly. "Your body is still recovering from whatever happened to you. Please let me help you back to the bed..."

"No!" The girl screamed as she collapsed to the ground and held her head. Her left leg was crumpled up in an awkward position. "I won't be a prisoner! Not again!"

"Your not a prisoner child," William spoke calmly as he knelt in front of her and she looked at him surprised. "We found you outside the city unconscious and brought you here to help heal you. Let me help you please. You can't even walk right now..."

"I've been able to walk perfectly fine the past thirteen years of my life mister, there is nothing wrong with me..."

"You can't even walk on your left leg though..."

"I've never been able to!" The girl snapped as she glared at William.

"What...?" William blinked in surprise as he stood and watched her hop to her injured feet as if it was nothing. "You..."

"Go ahead and say it," she hissed as she hopped to the bed. "I'm deformed."

"No your not," William spoke with a frown as she sat on the edge and used her hands to pull her left leg up onto the mattress.

"Yeah, I am. I got a leg that hasn't worked since I was two, no matter how many tests have been run or how many doctors said that they could fix it. It just continues to grow like any other leg but I cannot use it," she sighed as she stared at her leg.

"We haven't been formally introduce yet since you woke up panicked. I am Professor William Walter Wordsworth or just Professor and you are...?"

"...Kaiya," she spoke after several seconds. "That's all I really know besides how old I am. I am 15 and other than that I know I got a brother somewhere but I don't know his name or what he looks like."

"Where did you get all those injuries?" William asked as he pulled a wheeled stool over so he could by the bed.

"I've been a captive since I was seven," Kaiya whispered as her left hand rested on top of her bandages right wrist. "These people wanted my brother and thought I knew who and where he was. For years they hurt me, did tests, and chained me up so I couldn't escape. Before I was let go, I remember the scientist saying to have my memories wiped but the robot never did it. I just blacked out while being brought out of my prison then I woke up here... Where is here?"

"You are inside the Vatican within Rome," William spoke and her eyes widened in surprise. "Cardinal Caterina will want to know you have woken up. You've been here for three days now unconscious."

"Is there cloths I could change into? This hospital gown is uncomfortable," Kaiya asked, changing the subject. "Seriously, who would want to have half of their body just out in the open?"

"Yes," William spoke collectedly as he pointed to the pile of clothes at the bottom of the bed. "It's all we have, the Vatican AX uniform for the sisters."

"Seriously, an habit?" Kaiya grimaced as she lifted the dress off the bed. "You know how hard it is for me to walk in a dress?"

"We didn't know Kaiya and on such short notice, it's all we got that could fit a young woman of your size."

"It will do for now," she sighed. "Turn around and make sure you don't look."

William frowned but spun around quickly when she started to untie the hospital gown. He stared at the door calmly as he heard movement from her behind him. He didn't move a muscle until he heard her feet hit the floor and he flinched in surprise.

"Okay..." William turned and blinked. The habit that was supposed to go to mid calf, completely covered her feet and dragged a couple inches on the floor. "This sucks."

"You okay to walk?" William asked skeptically.

"I think so," she frowned and lifted part of the dress a few inches with one hand and he saw her left leg drag as she hopped forward. She stumbled and stopped for a minute before looking at him. "Help...?"

"Sure," the professor spoke calmly as he came to her side and wrapped an arm around her back, right under her arm and helped her hop forward. "Does that help?"

"Yeah, I cannot focus on walking while holding up the dress. Thanks."

"No problem, are you ready to meet Cardinal Caterina?"

"Sure," Kaiya shrugged slightly and he helped her out of the room and they headed down the hall towards Caterina's office.
