"ARRGH!"
Yep, birth is painful. And bloody.
A pale, thin woman was convulsing on a bed. Screaming.
She was surrounded by a few people, who were, y'know, aiding the process.
It wasn't a very professional, the room was probably some sort of bedroom, and nobody was wearing all white.
It only took a few minutes, but for the woman it felt like hours. Soon a man was holding a frail baby in his arms. A girl.
She was thin and pale. She was weak.
"Your daughter may be a great asset to our cause." The woman was informed formally. "She is to be named Hailey. Do you have any objections?"
The woman shook her head.
"She may have great potential." And then, under his breath:
"If she lives long enough."
/DAY (-3932)/Around three years later
Normally Hubert would have been chatting with one of his friends, laughing about something bad that hadn't happened to them, but it happened that that two of them were on a mission, a couple were trying to break into a room that they were convinced was the Head Seporatist's room(he prayed for their sake that it wasn't.), and a few more we're having a shouting match in the middle of the lunchroom.
He was about to join in, when a small hand wrapped around his bread.(Yes everyone who eats bad food eats bread in this world, even though bread is good food.)(Nevermind.)
He grabbed the wrist of the hand.
The thief let out a yelp, letting go of the bread immediately.
Hubert let go as if stunned.
It was a small girl, probably about two, or maybe three. She was staring up at him with the most innocent, yet terrified blue eyes, who were starting to fill up with tears.
"I'm sorry." She whispered, seeming like she wanted to bolt, but was afraid to. "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'mso-"
"What's your name?"
"Hailey." She choked out.
He pushed the bread into her hands. "Take it."
Hailey gave him one amazed expression, as he walked off to join the shouting contest.
/DAY (-3179)
Juniper had just vanished. Into thin air, seemingly.
No one had seen her, so apparently she had gone AWOL.
That or she had been killed. Or worse, disappeared.
Hubert shivered at the thought.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in."
A young girl peeked through the door. "Hi! I'm your new roommate."
"Well then, come in, I'm Hubert, by the way."
"I'm Hailey. Although some people," She pulled a wanted poster out from under her jacket. "Call me Blade."
"Who knew you could get a prize over you head just for stealing a couple hundred knives, sorry, BLADES."
