A small child played happily in a small room with others her age. They weren't old enough to speak their minds, barley being able to walk and all, but they got their point across. Unfortunately she wasn't like the other children. There was something that her parents couldn't quite place, but it whatever it was she used it often. And this, this was one of those times.

"WAAAAAAAA!" the child cried to no end, "WAAAAAAaaaaaahhhhh! WAahWAAAAAA!"

A young lady came rushing into the room to see what the problem was, "Awe, what is the problem little one?" she said in a gentle voice, "You were playing fine earlier, why the mood swing?"

As sudden as the crying began it stopped as soon as the phone rang. "Hey Jen! Can you please get that for me?"

"Sure," came the reply from the other room. Quickly she came out with a shocked look on her face. "Oh my GOD. Can you please take the child in your arms to the hospital quickly? Her parents were just involved in a serious car accident."

"Yeah, but what about…"

"I'll be fine here." Without another word the woman left with the child in her arms. Wondering if fate was as cruel as rumored.








St. Peter's Hospital, 20:32

The two arrived at the hospital just a little too late. An officer from a near by base and a doctor greeted the girl and gave her the tragic news. "Good evening madam, I am…"

"Forget the formalities. How is the baby's parents?" the woman interrupted.

"I am sorry to say the parents die just a couple minutes ago. I am here to take the child to her new home."

"Home?"

"Yes, it was arranged that she went to a friend of the family's if anything had happened to the parents."

"Oh well, I guess this is it little one. Hope your happy in your new life," and with that she handed the baby over to the doctor and slowly left the hospital drained of energy.

As soon as she was out of ear shot the doctor turned to the officer, "This one will be useful in the future. Take her to the base and see that she comes back to me when she has surpassed every soldier there. Her abilities will give use the advantage in what is to come."
