Clint Balmore's POV.    July 26 1897

"Just finish these off and leave your signature right.. There"   The secretary of defence told me. But before I could even pick up the pen I knock was heard on the other side of the door. "Come in" 

My older brother.. Let's describe him he's arrogant and bitchy

"Hey general loser I've got a little present for you". I looked at him and rolled my eyes this is probably another of his lame jokes "make it quick I've got something to sign".

"I found this little shit near echo valley camp" he then dragged a small girl around by the hair. I couldn't believe what he just did

"HEY DON'T TREAT KIDS LIKE THAT!"

"Oh this isn't just a kid, I've seen her in action she's.. What do I call this, animal. She's all yours"

"What's her name?"

"I don't think she has parents I'm telling you, I simply found her. Name her anything you want I suggest. Sewer rat"

"Watch your god damn mouth"

I shouldn't believe this guy, what if he kidnapped her? Wait no he can't he's a major

I then looked at the girl she seemed to be lost and lonely, where did she come from? I then accept his so called 'gift' and signed off the documents. It was still mid day so I decided to get her some  bread so we headed down the flight of stairs. I then asked "what's your name?" She simply looked at me then continued going down

I guess she doesn't know how to talk, how did she survive for at least 2 years?

We reached the cafeteria and I got her some tea and bread we then headed to my office to eat. When we reached there she eyed the bread "it's bread" I said "you have to eat it" she nodded and ate

So she can understand.

After eating I decided to bring her to my mansion and give her a new fresh life. Since my house wasn't far away I thought that walking was the best way but I realised she was limping I then came to a halt and she did too. Then I kneeled down and Inspected her legs and feet until I noticed a cut on her ankle I quickly took my handkerchief and tied it around her ankle, she had no impression of pain

So I continued walking but she was still limping so I tried to carry her but she looked scared "come here it's safe, your safe with me" she took slow steps towards me and allowed me to carry her to the house. I went down the old Kenon road until I reached my mansion

I called the maid she immediately came "sir"

" I want you to give this girl a shower and change her in fine clothes."

"But sir we don't have any clothes in here specified for her age"

"Anything will be fine"

"Yes sir"

I then handed the girl over but she looked scared I sighed and went along with her to the bathroom where she would feel safe, while she taking a bath I read the newspaper. Then the maid told me it was changing time for the girl I nodded and followed along
