Chapter One
Do you believe in love at first sight? A desperate battle won and a happy ending with a
huge castle and kids? Ha, neither did Karri Blare that is until she met him.
Thirteen-year-old Karri grew up in the Sector 3 slums. Gang territory, in other words.
With her ivory skin, olive eyes, and silk black hair, she was the perfect target for rapists and men out to 'have a good time'. However, as frail as she seemed, she could hold her own. Of course, a thirteen-year-old Slum girl alone was no super woman. Especially against her mother. Kandy Blare was a drunken abusive woman and another of the many slum prostitutes. It was the same every night. Kandy would stumble in drunk, scream about her day, then pass out on the couch...
Karri slammed the door to the small, run down trailer, cursing a blue streak under her breath.
"Did he hit on you again?" "Yes, he practically tried to rape me. I got busted for putting the smack down on his ass. That's why I'm so late." Where's my mom, Cindy?" "She passed out. Mom sent me to see if you want to hang low at my house. The Turks are looking again," Cindy replied, helping Karri clear a place for her school books. "Why the sudden interest in women recruits, I wonder." Karri muttered as she grabbed a few cloths from a pile. "Who knows with Shinra Inc. Hurry, they're suppose to be in our area, looking for us no doubt." Cindy replied. As they peaked out the door, Karri grabbed Cindy's arm, "Cin, if they want one of us for the Turks. Then the other will come too, right?" "Yeah, friends forever, sisters for life. They can't separate us. Come on, hurry now!" Cindy pushed Karri out the door and hurried her down the concrete steps. "Okay, two blocks. We can make it." Karri reassured herself aloud. The streets of Sector 3 were void of all other girls, and very few young men dared to venture out. Karri and Cindy where two of the most dangerous teens in Sector 3, but they
knew they could never take the Turks. Their fighting was part of what made them potential targets.
They were two houses from Cindy's house when a man's voice stopped them dead in their tracks.
"Well, well, well. What have we here?" the man sneered. He was about sixteen and fairly tall.
He had long fiery hair sloppily pulled through a hair tie and aqua green eyes that seemed to
hold so many secrets behind them...
Now however they turned from scowling to playful as he eyed the girls.
He wore a dark blue suit, thrown on sloppily and without a tie.
Karri recognized him as Reno Danilies, the latest addition to the Turks, he had just finished
three years of training. "Oh shit..." Karri heard Cindy mutter under her breath.
Grabbing Cindy's arm, Karri looked him in the eyes, noticing the twin scars that ran underneath
them. Trying not to lose herself she shook her head, "Please sir, my sister and I are going to
check up on our sick Aunt." Karri lied, convincingly She began to pull Cindy toward her house. Reno laughed, "You are a very convincing liar, Miss Blare," he said, flipping through a file. "It says here, you want to be an actress? Oh, and Miss Kones, we won't be needing your services, yet..."
Cindy gripped Karri's arm tightly, but her friend shook her off. "Get inside Cin, go to Mum."
"But," Cindy started to protest. "GO!" Karri cut her off. Cindy squeezed Karri's hand and ran
inside, pausing once at the door to look back, uncertain. Reno looked at Karri, and
amused look on his face, "You're going to fight me?" Karri's eyes were icy as she fell
into a battle stance. Similar to a typical street stance, but something was different.
Karri took a deep breath, she wasn't used to fighting without Cindy by her side.
"I won't work for Shinra. Get lost!" "You talk tough, for a kid," Reno replied, drawing
his nightstick, not that he intended to hurt her...
It was a rare weapon, Karri observed, it shot electricity without the aid of materia.
"Don't go thinking you're better than me, wait until you beat me. You're only three years
older, that's not an advantage." Karri dropped to the ground and swept Reno's feet from under
him. "Mph!" the red head propped himself up on his elbows, "That's dirty fighting.
Shame on you." Karri eyed him, watching for the same old trick as Reno's hand closed around
a clump of dirt, "Anything goes, you should know that." Reno's hand loosened around the dirt.
No good, she saw it coming. His nightstick lay a few feet away, unfortunately, at Karri's feet.
A shrill, high pitch sound filled the air, signaling that the Turks were to move to Sector 4.
"Damn," Reno muttered under his breath, "We'll finish this latter." He climbed to his feet
grabbing his weapon in the process. Karri made no move to stop him, but remained alert and
ready, "Latter..." Reno flashed her his trademark grin and as he walked away, Karri couldn't
help but marvel at the playful look in his eyes. She was snapped back to reality, however, when
Cindy came rushing outside and threw her arms around her best friend, "Karri are you alright,
what happened?!" she demanded as she ushered Karri inside and closed the door. Cindy's mother,
Martha, rushed over, Karri was part of the family to them, Martha called her daughter and Karri
called her Mom. "Sweetheart are you alright?" "I, I'm okay Mum... and I think..." Karri shook
her head, "Never mind, is there anything to eat Mum?" Martha nodded and handed them some gil,
"Not here, but I just got paid so you can head to the store anytime."
"Thanks, Mom. We'll go now since the Turks have left." Cindy replied.
As Karri and Cindy left, Martha shook her head, "Thirteen and eleven years old,
these girls shouldn't have to go through this." She looked at a picture of two teen aged
girls and two boys on a run down table and sighed, "Kandy, Jake, Shawn... we always said we'd
get rich and move to the country and raise our kids right... Why did they take you boys away?
Why did they do this to me and Kandy?" Martha lit a cigarette and continued to mumble, losing
herself in the past...
