~ The Past ~
~ Flashback 1995 ~
A beautiful young girl was left heartbroken after being the sole survivor of her family. She was only five years old when she lost her mother, father elder brother and elder sister. She was constantly questioning herself.
'Why? Why me?'
She couldn't understand how she was still alive when everyone else she cared about was dead, her thoughts had become far to mature for someone of her age, her childhood robbed from her in an instant.
She was forced into an orphanage, a special kind where they were treated like dogs, forced to become soldiers and to obey commands without question. Her life had become a nightmare, miserable and she had forgotten what happiness felt like.
The only thing prompting her to carry on walking through this hell was the new siblings she had come to make in the orphanage. Her closest was an elder boy who had medium length black hair with matching eyes that held kindness and always seemed to give her this sense of security and warmth. She always felt safe and comfortable when she saw him.
They had all long since forgotten their real names and were instead given numbers to show just how little they truly mattered. She was number 004 "Four" while the eldest who was her closest friend was 001 "One".
There was about ten of them in their section, and while they usually bickered a lot, they truly did care for one and other and eventually began to feel like family.

Five years later, the elder kids of the group, One and Four decided to hatch a plan to escape. She was 10 when they came up with it, while he was a little older. It had excited them all to start a life together and finally escape the hell they had been trapped in.
But of course, things do not always go to plan.
Sadly, their naïve plan failed, and they were all killed, except for Four. Her friend One had been the one to sacrifice himself in a last ditch effort to get her to safety, his dark eyes being the last thing she remembered before he was taken from her.
'Why? Why me?'
Everything turned red after that... she snapped.
She could barely remember, the only thing she saw when she woke from her haze was the bodies and blood scattered around her as she looked down at her soaked hands.
The people who had killed her family lay dead before her.
After that, she ran. She wasn't sure if there were any men left, but she knew that she was the last of the little soldiers therefore if they were around, they weren't going to let her get away. She had created a new family, found a shred of happiness once more, only to lose them again in the same terrible manner.
