Prologue

Wyoming six years after the X5 break out.

Bullets were streaming around her trying to hit their mark but unable to land a wound as she ran toward the cottage she shared with her father. They had found them she knew they could not of out run them forever but couldn't they have given them a little more time. It didn't matter now what mattered was getting to her father before they did. A helicopter was hovering near by trying to catch her in the spotlight making her duck and weave around the beam lengthening her run to the cottage. She could see a window diving through it and moving into a barrel roll she landed ready for the attack, she called out for her father, but there was no answer despite the noise going on outside it was quiet in here.

Jumping up and hoisting herself into the rafters she silently crept forward heading to the gap above the adjoining room. It was dark inside the room but nothing her nite vision couldn't become accustomed to. Peering over the wall she saw her father tied up in the corner and new she was to late, somebody was in there and waiting for her no doubt hearing her come through the window as it was an all but quiet entrance. Her fathers head was grazed, blood trickling down his face he looked to be in a large amount of pain, his shoulder was twisted at a weird angle the injury most likely from when he was attacked, the site angered her and she had to reign in her power to stop from doing something that would put them into even more danger. The bullets outside had ceased, but her hearing told her that the men were closing in, the chopper still circling above. In the room she caught site of a man in the reflection of a glass on the table, how many were there if she could see that she might have a better chance.

She caught her father's eyes his own eyesight had adapted to the dark, she heard him speak loud and clear in her head using his own special talents.

"My daughter you must run remember what I have told you find your family, you have such a battle ahead of you I hope I have prepared you well enough"

"No PaPa I will not leave you I can take them just tell me how many and where, we can escape this together"

"No child listen to me it is to late I am to seriously injured I can already feel this body dieing you must leave"

"But I can help please PaPa don't leave me I need you"

"No escape go and fulfil your destiny as mine has been fulfilled you have made me proud, and I love you"

Movement in the room below signalled that the men were getting restless and would begin to look for her at any moment she had to be ready. Judging by the footsteps she could now tell that there was three men in the room below, two were heading for the door, 'foolish soldiers so mediocre Lydecker would not be impressed with there impatience' she thought as she waited for the first to enter.

The door came open, as the first soldier walked through she dropped down holding onto the cross beam and swung through the door taking the first soldier with her. Using him as a shield she flicked on the light momentarily blinding the soldiers with the extreme light shown through there night vision goggles the two soldiers in the room howled in pain, the other was already dead. Cursing could be heard from outside giving away numerous positions of unsuspecting soldiers. She threw the body to the ground swinging around and kicking the first soldier across the jaw knocking the man to the ground, the second stumbled towards her trying to focus on her she quickly side stepped him, took a knee to his stomach and a fist across his face he lay on the ground unconscious. The first soldier was getting to his feet in two strides she had him unconscious possibly even dead on the floor, with a sharp punch directly up into his nose. Knowing she had a few moments before the soldiers outside would realise that she had one the first round she ran to her father who was now wheezing and coughing blood.

"These human bodies" he choked out " no good for anything" he chuckled in pain at his attempt of a joke. She smiled weakly tears welling in her eyes momentarily before he gave her a look that demanded no more tears were to be shed. A snapping branch outside brought them back to the reality of the situation, she new she would only had a few more seconds, she turned back to her father the man she truly respected and love, and hugged him tight in a last good bye. He smiled a serene smile, as his breathing got shallower. "Good Bye Pa Pa" she whispered and than she was off going through the hatch that was hidden in the floorboards. The old man watched his charge go through the hatch, "Goodbye my Xia" he said to the now closed floorboards.
