Bonded By a Silver Chain:
Prologue - The Separation
Two young eight year old children, a boy and a girl, were standing on a street corner. The girl had silver-white blonde hair, which was pulled into plaits that began behind her ears and fell to her shoulders. Her arctic blue eyes were like tinted mirror. The boy's brown hair was combed to the side, and his eyes were green. The girl was singing a song.
"Dancing bears, painted wings. Things I almost remember...And a song someone sings. Once upon a December." Her sweet voice filled the boys ears.
"Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory...
Far away long ago, glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Once upon a December..." Luna trailed off.
"Can I ask you a question, Luna?" the boy asked.
"I guess," she replied.
"That crescent moon necklace, where did you get it?"
The girl looked down at her shoes.
"At the orphanage, Miss Lady told me that my Mom left them with me, and said she would come back for them. She never did though. Probably never will."
"Can I see it?" The boy asked.
Luna unhooked the silver chain and handed it to him. He looked at it for a few moments, fingering the charm and its inscription. 'My Luna'. Suddenly, the ground shook, knocking the young girl off her feet.
"What's going on?" He asked, as he helped Luna up.
"THE ENEMY IS ATTACKING!! RUN FOR COVER!!" A civilian exclaimed. A crowd of people stampeded across the street, screaming and panicking. Young Luna was lost in the crowd.
"LUNA!" The green eyed boy cried," Where are you?!" He squeezed the chain, leaving an imprint of a crescent moon in his palm.
"Come on! We gotta get into our positions!" A hand yanked him away from the pandemonium.
"What about Luna?" He asked, looking around frantically.
"She's as good as dead, now."
Young Trowa hopped into the mobile suit, flying away from the colony.
A solitary tear found its way down his cheek, as he flew away from the scene.
He hooked the chain around his neck, and tapped the pendant, as if to make sure it was still there.
"One day I'll find you, Luna, one day. Just try to stay alive, and wait for me." Trowa whispered.
Just try to stay alive.

Okay, so I said all my stories were put on hold until the Mechanic was complete. But this has been sitting around for weeks and Auto-chan made me post it.
Please Review... okay?
