Author Note: My beta reader form the Prologue was unable to read through this chapter before I posted it up because her normal daily life has called her back to work. I am still looking for a regular beta reader and until I find one my chapters may or may not get proofread by someone other than myself until after I get them posted.

Chapter 1

Duo's POV

After I left Hilde, using the excuse that I needed some time to myself and telling her that she would see me again in a few weeks, I went back to L2. I had intended to go back like I told her but I after visiting the ruins of the Maxwell Church I realized that I didn't want to go back, or at least I didn't want to go back to Hilde. So I stayed here.

Its night now and I'm sitting in the center of what use to be the church. Over the last three years I have realized a few things, one of which is that I miss all the guys. Another is that I miss one of the guys more than I miss the others, I don't know when it happened but at some point over the two years that I fought in the war I developed feelings for one of the other pilots. I won't tell you which one it is because it doesn't matter at this point anyway. What does matter it that I also realized that there is no possible way that I can go back to Earth, not knowing that the only person that really wants me back is Hilde.

I stand from my spot and head back to the abandoned building that I am currently using as my home. As I walk down the street towards the building I look around at all the places that are still open even at this later hour. I will sometimes go into the clubs after sitting at the church for a while but not tonight. Tonight I just want to go back to my ratty mattress and rest. I say rest and not sleep because when you live on the streets of L2 you don't sleep. If you sleep you will more than likely not wake up again.

As I see the building that I call home come into view, I turn down an ally to go in the back door. I can't just walk in the front door because someone would report it to the authorities, which would only cause problems for me. While in the ally I was twice as alert as normal because the allies on this colony are really dangerous. As soon as I made it to the back door of my home I slipped inside. The entire first floor of the building is completely empty except for the stairs leading up to the second floor.

I climb the stairs up to the second floor of the building and walked down the hall. The room that I use is the last room on the right side of the hall. The only things on the second floor are a bunch of empty room and the room that I use which just has a ratty mattress and a few ratty blankets that I use for warmth.

After entering my room I walk over the bed and flop down. I take just enough time to place my knife under my pillow where it will be in easy reach if I need it. I pull the blankets up over my body and allow myself to rest.

Author notes: Sorry I know it's short but I am having problems with writers block at the moment. I'll try to get the next chapter up soon, and hopefully it will be a longer one.
