Prologue
No POV:
On the road the road miles outside of the nearest city, a car is driving through the rain.
An adult male is in the driver's seat with a white-haired child in the passenger's seat. His nametag with the name "Clifford" is lit by the passing road lights. His face shows signs of lack of sleep and high amounts of stress.
Clifford then looks at the child with a small smile on his face.
Clifford: Don't worry boy. We are going to see so many places. And do so many things together. We can truly be a family. I promised you and your mother that I would free you from that hell.
Suddenly, a military-grade vehicle appears from behind and is speeding up to them.
The soldiers driving the Vehicle are communicating with someone on their monitors.
Soldier: Target confirmed. Orders?
???: Eliminate them.
Soldier: Roger.
The soldiers fire on the vehicle and send it over the side of the road. Clifford braces the boy for impact as the car falls down near the river. They look and see the car completely wrecked.
Soldier: Target Eliminated, sir.
???: Excellent. Return to headquarters.
Soldier: Copy that. Alright, return to base.
The soldiers get back inside the vehicle and drive away. Clifford slowly climbs out of the car with the boy. But he is injured from taking most of the damage from the crash. Clifford leans back on the car.
Though his hearing is fading, Clifford can hear the steps of someone coming toward him. He pulls out his gun, assuming it's one of the pursuers. But he puts it down when he sees it's not.
A girl with white hair, fancy clothes, and strange pupils appears and checks out the crash.
The woman doesn't know Clifford but can sense the goodness within her heart. Clifford can feel it in his core that the woman is a very noble person. The woman looks at the boy in Clifford's arms and Clifford holds the boy out to her.
Clifford: P-please. Protect him. Protect Adrian. Protect my son.
The woman grabs the young boy and holds him as if she was his mother.
???: I will.
Clifford smiles.
Clifford: Thank you.
Clifford closes his eyes and succumbs to his injuries.
???: Rest In Peace.
The woman leaves as she begins to hear police sirens. She walks for hours and arrives at a massive city with countless advertisements, Neon lights, and vehicles.
The woman looks down at a sleeping boy and smiles at him.
???: Hi Adrian. My name is Mayvin. And from this day on, I'm your mommy.
The sleeping Adrian gives a small smile.
Mayvin look continues looking on at the city in the night.
