Once a long time ago, before the bombs, I was a young girl of the tender age of 10. In my childhood I thought nothing could ever go wrong...How wrong I was.

Two months after I turned 10, a man was going door to door for a company named "Vault-Tec" offering something that I didn't understand the need for before...safety. At the time people thought safety was in plentiful amounts, but that day, we were all proved wrong.

As we heard sirens in the distance my parents began running towards our vault, panicked neighbors all around. At the time I was scared, confused, and worried. Because if anything scared my father, then I was terrified of the possibile threat. As we were waved through the gate to the vault I remembered shaun began to cry a bit.

"Shaun please don't cry; where ever Mom and Dad are, I'm sure we'll be safe!" I said to him in a baby-voice. But as we stepped onto that platform, the first explosion mushroomed upwards, sending out a force that would blow over buildings. As the elevator slowly descended the wave passed overhead. It was full of a strange,almost painful heat. We were all welcomed into the vault, our "home" for the next couple years.

We were each given a vault-suit and ushered towards weird looking chambers, and suddenly, everything grew cold, and I fell into an oblivion of unconciousness. This was the start of a story of love,fear, and radiation.
