Lilith was pregnant. There was no denying that. When she told the others, they were excited. Well, Roland was a little nervous at the news, but nonetheless happy for her. First, they cleared a room and did their best to decorate it. Something suitable for their kid. After that, they made sure that Lilith was comfortable during her pregnancy. As the months went by, the excitement and anxiety hung around them. When the day came, Lilith gave birth to a beautiful little girl. Her skin was a darker color than Lilith's, but lighter than Roland's. Her hair would yet to grow, but within a few minutes, her eyes opened, revealing a pair of bright yellow irises. The most intriguing feature about her were the blue tattoos on the left side of her body. Together, they decided on her name. Vanessa.
Everyone took turns looking out for her. Mordecai had to keep Bloodwing from biting the defenseless baby several times until the bird would start nuzzling her, Vanessa laughing every time Bloodwing made contact. Brick, having to refrain from hugging Vanessa, would do his best to make funny faces, which never failed to put a smile on her face. Roland and Lilith would do everything else. When Vanessa was a toddler, she would wander around the home, following the Vault Hunters. When they needed to do something and couldn't bring Vanessa, they would have Helena babysit her. Despite her looks, Vanessa enjoyed Helena's company. As she grew older still, they would teach her how to use weapons. She didn't like it at first, but soon grew accustomed to it. When she was good enough, Lilith would sometimes take her out to hunt skags, rakks, or spiderants.
A week later, Lilith and Roland decided to take a vacation to Elpis. Vanessa grew worried when a giant laser from the giant 'H' began blasting the moon. Of course, her parents took care of the laser and came back alive.
Months later…
Vanessa hid in her room as explosions rocked the place. Gunshots and screams could be heard in between. The door was knocked down as a yellow robot walked in, pointing a gun in her general direction. She glanced at her window, then back at the robot. One shot, she told herself as she made her move. Electricity crackled around her as she busted through the window (and the wall), out into the open. There were more of them, and citizens were running from them, most of them falling to the storm of bullets. Vanessa was horrified at the scene. Oh god oh god oh god… her mind and body went into a panic, and she found herself running away. She turned the corner, but a stray bullet struck her in her side, causing her to to lose her balance and fall, rolling into the nearby wall. The impact hurt, but not as much as the searing pain she felt from the bullet wound. She painfully got up to her feet to find herself face to face with a robot. It aimed its gun at her head, and she shut her eyes. The sound of a sniper rifle was heard, and she opened them to find the robot's sensor destroyed. It collapsed seconds later. A hand grabbed hers, "Vanessa! Come on, we gotta go." She was dragged away from New Haven, her eyes frozen on the burning buildings.
So before you read chapter 1, I'm going to let you know there will be quite a few time skips. School has started, so less time to work on fanfics.
