Hi! I was suppossed to put this up before the other chapter so if there is any confusion about the switch I'm sorry. Anyway here is the begining. (I'll be puting up chapter three in a couple days.)
The begining.

Edea walked down the street where the little villiage used to be. The houses were burning and most of the people had run away or died. The war was becoming worse than ever. She heard a child crying. She went over and dug through the rubble and found a little boy at least three. Edea had already taken in a little girl named Quistis who she had found abandoned.

"It's okay, I won't hurt you." She said softly. "My name is Matron, what's your name."

"Seifer." The little three year old sniffled.

"Are you hurt?" Matron asked gently.

The little boy nodded.

"Do you want to come with me for a little while? I'll take care of your hurts until we can find your parents"

The little boy hesitated but finaly let her take him by the hand and lead him to her house.

***

There was a quick knock at the door. Matron put down the one year old Zell and set Quistis and Seifer to watch him for a minute. She went and answered the door. A young man was outside.

"Umm, hi I'm Laguna. I heard you've been taking in lost children?"

"Yes I have." Edea nodded.

"I'm looking for a little girl named Ellone." Laguna described her to Matron.

"I'm sorry I've never heard of this Ellone, are you her father?"

"No, but it's just... she's so cute, and I miss her alot. I know her mother."

"I see... is there anything else I can do to help?" Matron asked.

"Naw sorry to bother you." Laguna turned and moved on.

Matron shook her head sadly. These were horrible times.

***

Raine held her new baby. She hadn't told Laguna she was pregnant, Laguna wanted so bad to find Elle and she hadn't wanted to worry him. But she had hoped so much that he would have been back by now. She winced. The birth had left her very weak. She knew she was not going to last long.She held her little baby boy, her Squall.

"Please take care of him until Laguna gets back." she told the old woman, Sela. She had helped Raine through everything with Laguna gone. "Please take care of my Squall."

"I'll take care of him." Sela took the baby.

Then Raine fell asleep.

"Hello how can I help you?" Matron opened the door. There was a man standing outside with a little boy in his arms.

"I heard you were taking care of children. I want you to take care of Irvine for me. I'm going to fight in the war. I'll come back for him as soon as I can. His mother is dead and I have no one else to leave him with."

"I'm sorry that you have to do this." Matron took little baby Irvine. "I will take good care of him until you return. Along with the other children."

"I wil come back for him." The man touched the babys face. Then he slowly turned away.

'To give up your child, to trust some one else to bring them up for you. Never knowoing if you'll see them again. It must be the hardest thing in the world. No. It will be harder if they come back and the child does not know them, and is old enough to be afraid of them.'

She took Irvine inside. She had quite a few children now, first Quistis, then Seifer, then Zell, then little Selphie, now Irvine. These were horrible times. Those poor little children.

Laguna picked up Elle. Finally he'd found her after all this time finally he knew she was safe. He carried her out of Odines lab followed by Kiros and Ward. The Adel resitance member was waiting outside.

"So have you thought over our offer to lead us?" The man asked hopefully. Laguna looked down at Elle. Then at the man. He was at a loss. He didn't want to leave Elle ever again after that scare they had, but he wanted to help these people to. He set Ellone down and kneeled in front of her.

"Would you understand if I stayed here to help these people?" He asked hopefully.

Elle nodded. "You'll make sure those bad people don't take any more people away right?"

Laguna smiled. "Right." He stood up and looked at Kiros and Ward. "Would you take her back to Winhill for me? This is no place for her. Drop her off with Raine and tell her I'll come home as soon as I can, then you guys can come back and help."

Kiros and Ward nodded. Laguna scooped Ellone up in big hug. "You tell your mommy I love her and I miss her very much okay?"

"Okay!" Elle hugged him.

***

"Ellone! Ellone dear it is good to see you again." Sela hugged her.

"Where is Raine?" Kiros asked.

"Raine? Raine is gone. She left the baby. I'm to old to take care of the baby. No one here really can. Take the baby to Laguna." She handed Kiros a baby boy.

"What do you mean Raine's gone?" Ellone asked tears filled her eyes.

"Oh honey, you'll be okay." Sela hugged her. "Your uncle Laguna will take care of you."

Sela started walking away.

"Wait!" Kiros called. "Laguna is fighting in the war again. He can't take care of the children!"

Sela paused. There is a place where you can take them.

***

Ellone waved to Kiros and Ward as they walked away, Matron held baby Squall.

"You tell Uncle Laguna to hurry and come back okay!" Elle yelled after them.

"We'll try." Kiros smiled at her.

Matron took Elle and Squall in to meet the other children.
