The begining

I ran a finger down the long scar on my cheek. It was awful, awfuly painful too. I sat back in my chair and remembered when i goten it. I had lost everything that day. Almost everything, i still had my sister Buffy. She was the only thing i held dear now, though I would never confess that to her or anyone. She had just turned sixteen. Other than that I'd lost a mother and father, my dignity, pride, picture perfect face, and title as prince of Equlepshia. Me and Buffy had also lost our freedooms, being held captive by some high stuck up ass of a lord who was enemies with my father. And i hadn't even met the bastered who stole all of that from me.
"Did you hear me boy?" The captin was angrily staring at me from across the long wooden table. I was stuck at some boring assembly, 'helping' plan our next move in some war i didnt even really know much about. "yes, i heard" he'd killed mine and Buffy's parents, the king and queen. But along with our family went everything i valued. "you better have, or your ass is mine Riley"
The captin was a Riachu about 19 years in age. His name was Nuka, it meant silent killer. The only thing showing his anoyment was the fast movments of his long eged tail. His wasnt like most riachu's, it's end was sharper than any knife, ready to slash you to pieces. Me, being a jolteon and another electric type, could read his signs easiely.
The captin went on with his speech leaving me alone. I was always yelled at, being a favorite target, I was no longer seen as a prince. I cursed at the captin under my breath, forgetting the long destances he could here with those ears. Nuke snapped around. "what was that? Who dares speak of me in such a manner?" He really sounded pissed this time. (yes i have done this before.) His eyes wondered the room, of course they landed on me. "was it you who's being a smart ass boy?" He stared at me with his gut renching glare, tail making ferious movments. "what if it was?" Why was i always so arrogant? ,my attitude had earned me many beatings.
"Than we'll just have to teach you a lesson, wont we?" I had just signed my death warrant, time to think fast. "why punish me when i didnt do it?" god i was good! " than who was it?" Nuka sounded impatient. I looked around quickly, then to my side. "him" i pointed to Tyler, my sister's boyfriend. I prayed he'd belive me. I had to fight not to sigh with relief as his eyes raged feriously at Tyler.
I had always hated Tyler. For one thing he asked my sister out, and for another she said yes! And he was just a plain jackass. "Tyler!" the captin shouted shouted, boomed, and cursed at Tyler the rest of the hour. But he wasnt beaten like i would have been, he was one of the few around here favored in this hellhole.
After words I wandered down the open hall, which was utterly desserted, heading to my room. "they've probley all headed to the females quaters." I thought. I hoped to see my sister to tell her i'd gotten her stupid boyfriend in trouble, but i never saw her. I stopped at my door and entered a key code to open it. I remembered the first time i'd went in here. i was 17, it shocked me how the door had just slid open with 5 easy numbers. I't opened like magic and revealed my sister siting on my bed.
"I saw Tyler in the hall a few minutes ago" she went on, but i played her game. "what did he say?" a look of anger passed over her face. "dont play dumb with me you jerk! he told me everything! spike, I love you, but you can, your so..." she never finished. (spike was a nickname she gave me.) There was a ringing to break the silence as i realized it was her cell phone. she picked it up, and took the call and stormed out of my room.

****************************************
Now my brother was an okay brother, most of the time. He had just never really liked Tyler as much as me, and I just couldnt figure out why. Just today he'd proved that. Tyler had come to her after some meeting and complained that spike had gotten him into trouble, again.
She was quick and beat him to his own room, so as to make an enterance. As soon as he'd walked into the room she began to give him hell. But fuck, she just couldnt do it. He looked too much like her father had. It was a good thing the phone had rung, she was about to burst into the tears threatning to break through her tightly woven walls in which she'd created. She'd stormed out of the room and into the small narrow hallway to take her call. She was on the why to her room a few doors down from spike's.
She remembered the day she'd given him that name. They had first gotten here, and one of the men had try'd to use her as his 'toy'. And riley would have none of it, he'd grabbed a long spear, broke it in half making it a spike, and got him in the back. Sure Nails had lived, but hadnt gone near her since. so she'd called her brother spike since then.
It turned out to be my best, and only, friend Karie. Being another eevee like myself, we got along very well. Except she hated my brother almost as much as he hates Tyler. "hey, sup?'' Karie asked, impaitient i had taken so long to talk. "my brother got Tyler into trouble again." my voice reflecting the anger i felt, and Karie had heard it. "cool down, he's just protective of you. And if he makes you two brake up, well, i will gladly take care of him for you."
we gigled for at least an hour. I dont know how the topic became on the men. Dalanadow himself and his top men. We could be killed for just saying their names in vien. "isnt Nuka the worst? he is such a bastered!" Karie was really outgoing, she knew well we could be killed. "Buffy, you still there?" Karie sounded nervous, and a little worried. "yep still here. Yes he is" I took the plunge, knowing if this call was somehow ever traced, tracked, or monitered it would coast our lives.
"so you seen any cute guys lately?" I asked her. "well" she went on for awhile as i layed eyes on a picture of me and my once happy family. me and my two older brothers in front parents in back. my oldest bother, Davis, died trying to save me and spike. I was thirteen, spike was fifteen, and Davis was sixteen. now i was fifteen, spike is seventeen and Davis would have been eighteen. Just a year older than Karie, i thought sadly. I missed him so much. my home was destroyed, along woth our kindoom. he'd stuck up for me. the men were just going to take them, i was too young and could be used for nothing, so they wre just going to kill me. Spike had tried to stop him,thats where he got that scar, but Davis had gotten into the way and taken an awful blow to the head, i'd cried and cried as the draged me out to the gates, thrown me onto a horse and they finily gotten sick of my cring and knocked me out.
Spike hated that scar, he said it made him ugly, untouchable, and he would never find love with it. It was daddy's last wish for him, Davis, and me to be married. Davis would have taken the throne, he was oldest, but he had past away and the kingdom had been burned to nothing.
Karie started to describe a guy who caught my attention. "He had dirty blond hair hanging over his eyes, which were beautiful blues! a white smile with such a built body! come to think he looked kinda like spike...." I was at a loss for words, the perfect describtion of Davis.... being so shocked i dropped the picture of me and my perfect family. "Buffy?" Karie sounded worried at the sound of the breaking glass. "im fine. lisen, talk later i have to go and speak with Spike. k?" she was sounding hurt. "ok if thats what you want to do."
Before i could apologize for the quick good-bye she'd hung up, leaving me on a cold, lonely line. But as i hung up the phone, I swore i could hear a slow steady breathing. I turned to face the intruder, and somthing cold hit me on the back of the head. I saw a glimse of the mans face, cold and dark, as i slid into a deep darkness.
