Prologue

(Flashback)

"Get out of here Eve!" Twelve years old Evanna could only stare in shock as the insane man she had grown up to know as her step father shot her mother in the chest before shooting himself. A scream ripped through her mouth, feet moving backwards on their own accord as she took off, running away from her dingy house, her sick and abusive parents that were dead now, running away from the hell known as her childhood.

(Flashback ends)

The city of Stilwater was in ruins. Crimes everywhere. The law enforcement faction had already been taken down by the gangs. The lack of law governing the place gave rise to crimes and violence everywhere. No one was safe in Stilwater anymore. The innocent civilians were butchered on daily basis, having been caught up in the gang wars. Women and men were tortured, sometimes for fun and other times were reduced to punching bags that had to face the wrath of angry gang members who had recently lost in turf wars.

The scrawny, emaciated thirteen year old boy trudged through a dark alley in the Saints Row district, in search of food. Gaunt, pale skin, messy short hair and a frail body, no one could identify the person as a girl. Having run away from her house at the tender age of twelve, with no surviving family left to take care of her, Evanna had to fend for herself in this cruel harsh world. With her skinny build she was often mistaken for a boy and she let it be that way. After all living as a boy in these times was better than being a female. Women were raped on daily basis and forced to turn into prostitutes as that was the only way of survival in these dark times.

Having grown up in an abusive family with a drug addict mother and insane step father and spending a year consuming leftovers from the trash bins, spending nights in dark alleys and hiding whenever the turf wars took place; not much shocked or scared her anymore. She had witnessed horrible things already but when she found herself caught up in a small turf war between the city's criminal factions she could only watch in horror as it came to a violent end in the form of cold lifeless bodies dropping dead, perforated with bullets.

Despite trying to maintain her distance, she sprained her ankle whilst dodging a racing Los Carnales's car that soon crashed into a nearby wall and erupted in flames. She whimpered as the sole surviving vice king's member pointed his gun at her. "Wrong time, wrong place dawg" He said and she closed her eyes, accepting her inevitable fate.

The sound of gunshot made her wince but she felt no pain. Opening her eyes she was met with the brown eyes of a man. "You okay playa?" His voice was gruff but there was a hint of kindness laced onto it. "Julius let's move" The gun wielding man that had just shot the Vice King's member said.

The man named Julius helped her up and they limped their way to a secluded corner, away from the exploding cars and fallen bodies. "That don't look so bad, you should be fine. That's Troy, you can thank him later. " The man named Troy greeted out with a casual " Hey"

"The row ain't safe anymore, son. We got gangs fighting over shit that ain't theirs and you in their way. They don't care if you representing or not." Julius explained.

"Julius, this is no time to recruit" The man named Troy butted in, exasperated. "Besides he's just a kid!"

"That can be sharpened and trained from a very young age. We need all the help we can, son-" Julius started assertively but Troy cut him off

"No we need to get our asses out of here!"

"In a minute. Look the row's got a problem." Julius stood up, ready to move but not before offering his hand,

"Do you want to be a part of the solution? Come with us to the church"

Evanna hesitated but took up his offer and placed her hand in his. Maybe fighting for a cause would be good.

She didn't have anything to lose anyway.

A/N: Hey guys! This is a Saints Row fanfic with a female boss. Just a tribute to the Saints row series. My love for the game compelled me to write it. This will follow the canon story line except the change of gender of course and a few other changes that will be revealed soon. I have always wondered how Saints row would've been with a female boss from the very beginning and with more romance in it. This will involve the saints row series upto SR4. Gat out of hell and other off spins will not be included ( although I may change my mind later)
