The family ended up taking me home, at first the husband, who would be later called father, wasn't too happy about me being there but the wife, who would be later called mother, was more than happy to have me. She said 'she can't stay there; she could and would die out there, its better if she stays with us'.

They told me that this was going to be my home from now on if that is what I wanted; mind you this is what the wife wanted more than anything instead of the husband. He wanted me to go to an orphanage so then I would get adopted in the proper way.

No matter what they did I didn't stop acting like a cat, the way I acted when I was living with the wild cats on the outskirts of the town, it was the only thing that I really knew of besides, pick-pocketing and stealing, but that was beyond the point now. They wanted me to stop but I didn't really know how.

I ended up disappearing in the mansion that they lived in and I ended up in a room that looked like my mother's favourite room back at the Sanderson mansion from so long ago, back when I had a family to call my own.

Out of curiosity I picked up an instrument and started to play, I remembered the song that my father wrote for my mother and I when I was younger, the family and everyone in the mansion heard this and came to see who was playing. When they saw it was me they were all so shocked to see an orphan/ street urchin playing a violin so well and for the first time stepping into the mansion.

'Mother she can play so well, don't you think' said the small boy, 'I think your right Shinji dear, I had no idea a street girl like her could play so well, she must of came from a well off family' said his mother.

When I finally noticed that everyone was staring me I darted for the nearest thing I could climb and that was the tree just outside the room. Zoom I was up it in no time flat but I had a slight problem everyone was now around the tree and I wasn't going to get down until they were gone, or at least that was what I thought, boy was I wrong with that one, big time.

The son of the family stepped forward and said 'ah, don't go up there! I can't climb that high and I don't want to get stuck' he said, this made me laugh; 'oh you like that, do you? Come down and I'll show you something to laugh about' he said and I came down right away, which surprised his parents and the servants of the mansion, I came down right away and stood next to him looking up at him and smiled right away.

I took an instant like to him and held onto him and wouldn't let go, this meant 'don't leave me, I don't want to be alone anymore' and they brought us both in as we needed to be cleaned up as I was a right mess and now the boy, who would later be called brother was also dirty thanks to me.

The servants took me to get cleaned up which I hated, but I didn't move an itch I was so scared to be here in a place that I didn't know at all. Somehow they reminded me of the family that I lost in the past, my wonderful Sanderson family, all of them all gone including my brother who I loved with all my heart.

The servants noticed something but said nothing until I was properly cleaned and dried, so then I could be presented to the family that would later be called my family.

They noticed that I also had long flowing brown hair when it was washed and dried as well as a piercing black fringe with royal/ Persian blue eyes.

They dressed me in a long white dress with pale blue design and I was presented to the family, 'doesn't that look better' said the wife, but her husband didn't like it he said right away 'she may look better but she can't keep her here, we have to find her family right away' but then a servant that had washed, cleaned and dried me came forward and whispered something into his ear.

She said to him 'Master she has the birth mark of Sanderson Ayame-san, she must be a Sanderson to have that particular birth mark just have a look at her right shoulder' and the maid stepped away.

This shocked him and he got up, scaring me in the process but when he came close to me, I stiffened right away and when he went to my right shoulder I knew he wanted to see it but I sadly didn't want to show it, he asked me 'excuse me miss, but may I have a look at your right shoulder' said the husband making his own son step forward saying 'father leave her alone, leave Desert Kitty alone please your scaring her' and he grabbed hold of my hand and ran out of the room.

The surprised parents looked on and then the husband said 'well that was a first for him', 'your right Shinou it was, maybe we should leave her for some time, to get settled in here before we do something like that' said Mia, the wife of Shinou, so Shinou and Mia left the two children alone and only looked when 'Desert Kitty', me, the little girl who had been nicknamed by Shinji their son was ready to have people look at my shoulder.

Months went by and I still hadn't spoken a word, they were there but I just didn't want to say anything because it just reminded me of what I had lost and I didn't want these people who had taken me in, as their own child, know about what had happened in my past, it was too frightening, even for me who had lived through it.

I stayed with them for quite a while before I spoke my first words to them which was 'Violet, me Violet' and I remember that day so well really because at first I thought the people I learnt to call Mother and Father which in Japanese is Haha-ue and Chichi-ue.

That evening I had fallen asleep in their bed after I had snuck into it because of a bad dream or something or the other, to this day I can't remember why I had done that. They had decided to adopt me then and there but my Father wasn't so sure but... me being me was able to persuade him in no time.

They had decided to hold me a party because now I was seven years old or there just about and had lived with them for quite some time more than a year really but it seemed longer to a child of my age and background.

They had spend hours getting it ready but I didn't know anything of it really and I helped my Brother build models of trains, planes and cars and each one had me, my brother and my new parents in it because it was one way for me to communicate with them.

At first I wasn't very good at the building the models but in no time I was better than he was which surprised him but he kept it a secret from our parents and it was our way to enjoy ourselves without supervision from them and the servants of the house.

When we had just finished our most resent one a man came in, he was a servant of Fathers, he had three children of his own and a very pretty wife, I wanted to be like her when I grew up. It was a pretty little dream from a young child.

Once I heard him talking to his children and they were talking about me because I wasn't talking and everyone was worried but he said to them 'don't worry she will one day and I want you to look after her and be her friend' and all of them agreed. I liked his son most of all because he was only slightly older than my Brother and I always wanted to call him 'Nii-san' or brother in English.

He came in and told us that we were wanted in the garden right away as my surprise was now finished and we were now allowed in the garden for it. I was so happy that I ran off making my Brother follow me calling my nick name the whole time which was 'Desert Kitty', I still go by that name now and again.

Outside everything was decorated so beautifully that it took my breath away the same with my Brother's but I knew from the way he kept looking at me that it was all meant for me.

My parents wanted me to say something but it never happened, they just wanted me to say thank you to them for what they had done but, still nothing came from by mouth until I met my future husband to me really.

I was introduced to everyone at this party for me as the new addition to the Emme-Reece family and everyone gladly approved of me once they had heard my story of what happened to me and my parents the 'Sanderson's' no one said none the wiser on the matter, they had always wondered what had happened to me and my brother, the heirs to the Sanderson fortune. I was living proof that the Sanderson line was still living.

I noticed one little boy hiding behind one of his sisters, he was the youngest in the family like I was in my new family, but he was shy and kept hiding like I was with Brother but I only really noticed him when he laughed at me, which made us both come out of hiding behind our siblings.

For some reason he offered his hand to me and introduced himself as 'Quatre Raberba Winner' and he offered the flowers that he tried to hide behind his back, I took the flowers from him but again I said nothing to his in my response. I bet that didn't go down well with the introductions but it was all about to change.

I ended up following him for some reason and we came to a fountain on the other side of the garden, it was one out of many that made up the garden design.

He kept asking me so many different questions, I so wanted to answer but I just couldn't find my voice at all no matter how hard I tried it just didn't want to come.

He asked me 'what's your name?' over and over again but I just could answer, I wanted to say 'I can't remember but they call me Desert Kitty, for some reason, you can call me that if you want?' but it never happened I only spoke my first words when I noticed that he was standing on my favourite flower, I shouted with all my might 'NO' making him stop and rethink what he was doing.

He only noticed the tiny flower he had almost stepped on when I shouted, when I said that he asked my name again and for some reason I said 'violet' which really meant the flower he had almost stepped on and the flowers that I was holding with all my might.

I ran off giggling making Quatre follow me, I sprinted off making him fall behind after some time everyone noticed what was going on and let us through.

Father was still talking to everyone telling them my story when he noticed me and quickly, if you ask me, picked me up asking me what was wrong, I just said 'violet, me violet' making everyone stop what they were doing and stare at me.

These were my first words that anyone had heard me spoke in the many months and years that I had been living with the Emme-Reece family. My father asked who had given me the name and I just pointed to Quatre who had stopped very short of my Father and everyone else.

My Father put me back down on the grass and walked up to Quatre and asked if it was true and he just nodded and my Father just laughed making Quatre's father come over and asked 'Quatre is true that you made this little girl speak her first words in three to four years?'.

He just nodded, making our fathers question what was happening and they decided that from that moment onwards I was going to be known as Violet and that me and Quatre were now engaged.

God was it a shock for us to find that out even at our ages, me only being about seven as this party was also a birthday party for me, Quatre at the time was only five becoming six in December of that year.
