Chapter 1.

Surak POV

1,900 hundred years earlier on the planet Vulcan…

If anyone would have been there to witness it, they would have heard the struggling last breaths of the greatest philosopher that the Planet Vulcan would ever know. As Surak, who would one day come to be known as the father of logic, lay there overcome by radiation, he took what would be his last breath when suddenly the room filled with a blinding white light

and enveloped Surak. If anyone would have witnessed it they would have seen that the light disappeared and Surak with it. Never to be seen again.

Until 1,900 years later.

Emily POV

"No! No, How did it come to this! This is not how my life was supposed to turn out…"

Looking down at the Divorce finalization file on my PADD that I had just received from my lawyer.

In my frustration I pushed my long locks of frizzy strawberry blonde hair out of my face, which was more annoying than it was pretty. I couldn't bring myself to ever cut it though, My mother would have a fit.

Here I was at only 23 years old already divorced and having to move back into my childhood bedroom.

It's official, I am a failure.

It was bad enough that my now soon to be ex husband cheated on me, but he also hated our son. I mean what kind person hates a baby so much that you're willing to physically hurt them?

Honestly I could deal with him hitting me and not allowing me to leave the house. As crazy as it sounds. All because I somehow believed he loved me too. But when harsh looking bruises started to show up on our 6 month old, enough was enough, it was time to leave.

"Emily!" I heard my mother call for me.

Sighing, I reluctantly got off my bed to see what she wanted.

"How are you feeling?" she asked sadly as I walked into the living room to see her watching the galactic news on the holoTV while holding my little blonde 6 month old baby boy.

Flopping down on the couch I replied in a sarcastic tone. "I'll live I guess."

My baby Interrupted my sulking with his hungry cries. "Oh come here Brayden, mommy will feed you." I took him from my mothers arms and lightly touched the thumb shaped bruise that still lingered on his cheek. "Would you like some mommy's milk?" Walking into the kitchen to grab the bottle of already expressed breast milk. Looking at his little face while he sucked hungrily, I knew I had made the right decision.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to church with me tomorrow? I mean, I don't know if it's such a good idea for you to be by yourself with all this going on."

Despite feeling slightly guilty about missing, I answered, "Mom, I need time to think right now and besides I won't be alone I have Brayden."

She eyed me wearily. "Ok, I just want you to know I love you."

"I know mom," "but that doesn't make it better." I thought.

"By the way Jeremy called, said he was trying to get a hold of you."

Oh? I replied, absentmindedly wondering how my big brother was doing living in The Orpheus mining colony that was on Earth's moon.

I was interrupted from my pondering when Suddenly an urgent broadcast message popped up on the holoTV. The unthinkable had happened. The planet Vulcan was gone. It had been destroyed by some Romulan maniac.

"How is that even possible?! A whole planet doesn't just crumble to pieces. Why would someone have done this?!" I said loudly.

The reporter gave the massive death toll numbers in a panicked tone. Relaying what little information they had from Starfleet. Then she stopped in mid sentence putting a finger to her earpiece and her eyes widened. "NO! She almost screamed. "they're headed to earth! They're coming to destroy earth! They're going to kill us all!" "Starfleet has issued an order for all citizens of earth to remain calm and head to the nearest space docking port in a timely manner." She ran out of the shot and with that the screen went black.

Hours later….

I was in shock.

I sat on the floor of the holding area of a cargo ship that had been commandeered by Star fleet to hold earth's citizens, rocking my son trying to quiet his wailing cries. I was crying myself. Following the announcement, Panic broke out. I had lost my mother somewhere in the throng of people desperately trying to board starships. I had no clue where she was or if she even made it. For all I know she could be dead right now. No one was able to give us any news of what had happened to Earth. I was barely able to believe that this morning I had woken up to a pretty much ordinary day and now it felt like I was in hell. It was a very real possibility that everyone and everything that I ever loved was gone. But I was luckier than most, I at least had my son.

I had to remind myself to breathe.

inhale*

exhale*

inhale*

exhale*

I went on like that for I don't know how long.

I was so focused on just trying to survive that I didn't even hear The commotion that was happening in the cargo bay. I looked up when I saw combat boots standing in front of me. It took me a second to realize that it was a Romulan man scowling down at me!

He roughly grabbed my arm so hard that I knew I was going to have a bruise. I tightened my grip on my son as the romulan man pulled me up.

I looked around frightened. There was one particular Romulan, who looked like he was the one in charge, who was staring at me hard, almost hungerly, I shuddered to think what he was planning to do to me. I noticed that they were taking others into custody as well. It also didn't escape my notice that every single one of them were young women and children. Any man who tried to fight back disappeared as the beam of The Romulans phasers hit them. They herded us into the ship's small transporter room, the ship shook Violently just as they had begun to shove people onto the transporter pad. The claxons started blaring by the time they finally got to me and the baby. I felt myself starting to dematerialize Just as I saw Starfleet officers burst in the room and start firing at all of the Romulans. When I rematerialized I was on the floor of the transporter room on a federation starship. I didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief when I looked down to realize that I had been shot. In a last desperate attempt one of the Romulans fired upon the rest of the women and children that had been kidnapped by them. They had just grazed the right side of my stomach. And with that I fainted.

Author's note: I promise I will finish this story! I can't stand it when an awesome story stays unfinished, I already have the first 10 chapters written, they just need editing. I will do my best to have a new chapter out once a week.

In order for me to make this story work, in my little fanfiction universe, I've chosen to pretend that Star Trek Enterprise doesn't exist, or at least the episode where Jonathan Archer communes with Suraks Katra.

Please review! I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts you might have to add to this story! This is my first time ever publishing a fanfic that I've written, so please be kind! :)
