Tara's Pov: Twilight pulled the ends of her unwanted hair brown hair back and exclaimed

"Im going to go to my room and gonna put some makeup on."

I turned to her with my arms folded "Twilight i need you to bring Zia and Matthew to the main deck."

She sighed but did as she was told. I started walking towards Daniel's room... What the hell could he possibly be doing. I knew for sure that he left his post and that the kids were roaming around that area. Daniel and I rarely have any positive conversations in fact the conversation would either end with him walking away or me screaming at him. Once i got to his door i took a deep breath then quickly opened the door. Daniel was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. I placed my hands on my hips and glared

"Hey you idiot why did you leave your post!"

his chocolate colored eyes glared at my presence but i didn't pay to much attention to them. His room was a mess all of his weapons were lying on the floor. He then took a quick breath and sat up

"I shouldn't have to explain myself to you."

I grit my teeth in anger and sat next to him

"I won't allow any secrecy on this ship!"

He then folded his arms and grinned

"Did you somehow forget that I'm the leader of Eagle Squad"

My cheeks were flushed after hearing him but i quickly gained my cool and placed my hand on his shoulder

"What's wrong?"

Daniel shrugged my hand off and looked down to the ground

"Its nothing."

I knew something was up. Daniel wasn't the type of man to admit when somethings bothering him, he was a man that would run away from his problems, the man who wasn't afraid to kill another individual, the guy who finds anger to be taking over him. I remember the day where i first came on board the two of us were off to a bad start but shortly came to the agreement that we needed more members. I smiled at the thought of those memories ad giggled

"Do you remember the day where we first met."

he sighed and then nodded

"How could i forget, the day before the massacre of Kanagawa."

It was a day that i wished i could go back to... a day that only i could connect to

~FlashBack~

Tara's Pov: I was lying on the grass outside my house watching the clouds create shapes with my father who was a marine. Today was my 18th birthday but also it was the day where my mother died. I loved being outside, the smell of roses melted my heart. My father stood up and brushed the specks of grass off his pants.

"Tara, i know you are old enough to make your own decisions which is why I'm allowing you to finally be able to leave the house."

My heart skipped a beat.. was he actually letting me go. I found myself fitiling with my fingers.

"Are you serious father?"

My father chuckled and ran his fingers through his chestnut colored hair

"Im postive Tara."

I jumped up with excitement and wrapped my arms around him tightly

"Thank you!"

He laughed and ruffled my hair gently. In a way i felt that the two of us were more connected. It's almost as if something had shifted his personality. I smiled and released myself from the hug. He placed a finger on his chin and looked at me

"But first i need to take you to the main military base down town."

He held on to my hand as the two of us made out way into downtown. To be honest i was really curious as to why i had to go but when i come to think of it my father had tons of stress being pressed on to him and just one question could break him. We were both silent that was until my father stopped in front of a rather crumbled building.

"were here." He said with a tint of satisfaction.

We both entered the building to find two columns of military men lined vertically... the leader was standing directly in front of us with a devilish smirk that almost seemed familiar to a terroist. Once he saw us his smirk faded and he began to frown

"So this is Tara Hanato."

My father nodded and pulled out a card

"My name is Yiruma Hanato, I'm a marine of Kanagawa and i need my daughter to have personal protection."

the man folded his arms and grinned

"it is nice to met you Yiruma, my name is Jared Vokan i can guarantee that your daughter will be just fine with Daniel."

A guy who i assumed to be Daniel made his way to us. He seemed frustrated at something but i was afraid to ask. My father turned to me and said softly.

"i need you to be a good girl for me, i was forced to turn you in to them."

I looked at him with astonishment and cried

"Where are you going? Will you be back for me?"

He kissed my forehead and kept that secure smile. That very moment i knew that this was going to be the last time i would ever see him. I looked down to the floor and took a long breath. I couldn't find the reasoning behind all this. I quickly lifted my head up to see my father beginning to walk towards the front doors.

"Don't leave me!" I screamed running towards him

I could feel my heart racing... i couldn't afford to lose my father. To be honest i depended on him. He is the only individual who cared about me. I wrapped my arms tightly around him

"P..Please Dad stay with me."

He turned to me with a sullen expression

"I can't Tara, i need you to be strong for me."

I gave him a worried expression and cried

"Why not? Why are you leaving me here."

The sorrowed look in which has stolen his mood faded as he began to smile at me

"Just don't ask questions alright, you'll know when the time comes."

I found myself lost for words as my father distanced from me... I could feel my tears rolling past my cheeks. I was devastated and couldn't help but to fall to my knees. I then began to weep uncontrollably. A loud growl grew from behind me... it belonged to Jared who seemed annoyed about something. I covered my face with my hands and screamed loudly, the exit doors slammed shut and a hand was being placed on top of my back the touch startled me. I saw Daniel kneeling on one knee with a neutral expression

"Come with me."

I glanced at him and stood up brushing off dust that was attached to my clothing.

"Where are we going?"

He rolled his eyes and grew silent he then started walking past the other soldiers. I quickly paced after him curious as to what Daniel was planning. He opened a gray colored door with a worn know and twisted the handle open. Behind the door was a long staircase that lead us upwards. When i looked up to the levels above me there was 30 levels of stairs to get passed i couldn't help but to groan in annoyance. Wherever we were going it better be worth it. Daniel grabbed my hand and together we ran upwards.

"Daniel? Where are we going?" I repeated

He smirked and let out a laugh

"Your annoying you know that, just hold on okay."

Once we got to the last level there was a black door that lead the both of us to the roof. After we crossed the roof Daniel closed the door behind him. I saw the sun beginning to set and the sky in which seemed pink, the wind was blowing lightly against my skin the scent of freedom was controlling the atmosphere. At first i was left up here alone but that didn't really bother me eventually i will find out why were up here. If he was planning on murdering me i would fight him. Daniel returned to me with a long lift board like thing in his left hand. I found myself surprised, recalling back to the last time i've seen a lift board was at home with my father who built his very own.

"I thought you need some time to cool down after all that."

My eyes were glued to a large blue coated lift board. I always wanted to ride through the clouds and that one opportunity of a lifetime has come to life. I grinned

"Lets go!"

He reached out for my hand helping me stand on the lift board he then got on and was in front of me

"Im warning you its fast, i suggest you hold on."

I sighed and wrapped my arms around him. I grew scared and excited, scared because it was my first time riding on a lift board and excited because i could get the chance to soar higher then mankind. Once we took off from the rood i could feel the heavy gravity from bellow disappear in a way it felt like i was in outer space where there was no gravity. I honestly tried not to look down because if i did i knew my life would come to an end. Daniel cleared his throat loudly and asked

"Is this your first time on a lift board?"

I sighed at him and nodded

"Sadly it is so don't even try to make fun of me. I've seen my father ride on a lift board when i was a child. i never actually thought that i'd get the chance to ride on one."

Daniel let out a rather loud laugh and snickered

"Well lets make your first experience unforgetable shall we."

I found myself scared... what was he thinking of doing? If he was planning to throw me off he surely won't be getting away with it.

"Daniel."

The speed of the lift board increased and the two of us were flying much higher then before. From where we were it almost felt as if we were able to reach the stars.. the thought of looking down faded and all i was thinking about was the breath of escape. Out here i felt unstoppable that nothing could stop me which felt nice. In a way i wanted us to fly faster.

"Having fun yet?" Daniel called out

I nodded and squealed "This is so much fun!"

What i've noticed was that Daniel had a soft side to him and that the lift board had green glowing energy rush from behind. After a half hour we landed back on the roof. Never had i had this much fun... my hair was messy the ends of my hair were pointing in many different directions. Daniel and I were standing face to face. He grinned at me and raised an eyebrow

"So had fun?"

I nodded and folded my arms "Of course i did you idiot."

I grabbed the lit board from him and smiled " Hey Daniel, i want you to remember this day and how the lift board was the both of ours. i really think we should keep it."

Daniel sighed and nodded "Sure whatever it really docent matter to me."

I looked at Daniel with curiosity and removed a strand of unwanted black hair behind me

" Im gonna guess that you have your own lift board right."

He nodded and smiled "Now that you think about it we can keep this lift board to recall this moment and to let someone create a new memory with it."

I just wanted to let you know that I'm changing the names of the kids (Maurcie,Melanie, and Ryan) all to japanese names. the names will be revealed in the beginning of the next chapter along with some other minor changes of names that i have decided to change for the benefit of the story such as Phoebe's
