Prologue

(New Hope)

"Say hi to Kaiya and Tobe when the Riders arrive" Kirsten said as Kel and Dom headed out of the front door.

"Yeah, see you guys in 3 weeks" Carly said, practically shoving Kel, Dom, and Lord Raoul out the front door.

"Your not getting rid of us that easily" the girls father said.

"Dom, we have to go" Kel said "Raoul, talk to my husband."

"Dom, do you like your promotion to captain?" Raoul asked.

"Yes sir."

"Would you like to keep it?"

"Yes sir."

"Then let's go."

"I'll be ready in one minute, I swear" Dom said "I just want to go over the rules."

"You don't have to" Carly said "Mom already went over the house rules and the city rules with us last night."

"I'm talking about my rules" Dom said.

Kel rolled her eyes. Kirsten groaned.

"Here we go" Carly said "Dad, we know...no boys."

"And?"

"No boys at all" Carly said promptly.

"And?"

"If word reaches you that we had a boy in this house, you will ground us until the day we die."

"You're forgetting something."

"What? What the hell did we forget?" Carly asked.

"You forgot that you don't use that kind of language with me for one." Dom said "You also forgot that if word reaches me you that we had a boy in this house, I will personally kill the fathers of the boys for not teaching their sons to stay away from my daughters."

"Come on Dad, we all know your not serious about that part."

"Try me. Bring a boy over here and let me find out about it. See how serious I am."

"Raoul, a little help?" Carly asked.

"Dom, you will not kill the boys' fathers" Raoul said "You and I will kill the boys themselves."

"Not helping Raoul" Kirsten said "Hey Dad, what if it was...say Alex who came over?"

"Alex is different. Alex is Raoul's son. He is allowed to be over here."

"Man Kirsten, you know who to give your virginity away to...the only boy dad will allow in the house."

"WHAT!" Dom, Raoul, and Kel all screamed.

"Dad, I swear, I am still a virgin" Kirsten said "I never even thought of doing anything like that with Alex or anyone else for that matter. Carly, stop laughing, because IT'S NOT FUNNY!"

Carly was rolling around on the floor laughing "Then why am I laughing?"

"I'm glad my mother is coming to watch them" Kel said.

"Grandma is coming?" Kirsten asked.

"When?" Dom asked.

"A week" Kel said "Now can we please go?"

"Alright" Dom said "Remember girls. No boys...and no sex."

"That was never a rule before" Carly said to Kirsten "Do you think that was an order or a suggestion?"

"I'm thinking suggestion" Kirsten said.

"That was an order" Dom said "You two and your sister are all going to die as virgins, I will personally see to it."

(Three weeks later)

37-year old Dylan Burns looked back at the mines. 15 long years he had spent in those mines. Now, a year early, he was free, but at a terrible price.

FLASHBACK

"Burns!"

Dylan looked up. Another convict was trotting over to him. Dylan dropped the pick axe he was using when he saw the look on the convict's face. He worked keeping the makeshift infirmary as healthy as possible, and was the only source of information on Kaitlyn, who had been in and out of the infirmary the past three years.

"What is it?" Dylan asked.

"Kaitlyn. She's..." the man squirmed with discomfort "She's taken a turn for the worst. The healer doesn't think she'll live another ten minutes. You've been excused from work, she wants to see you."

Dylan ran out of the mine and up to the tent that served as an infirmary. He washed his hands and face, as was required of anyone before they entered the infirmary, and raced to Kaitlyn's bed. She was whiter than the sheets, and her breath was labored.

"Kaitlyn, it's me." Dylan said as he grabbed her hand.

"Dylan?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Dylan...I'm dying."

"No. You and I have this all planned. In one year, when my sentence is over, you will be as close to the gates as you will be allowed. You and I will have a romantic good-bye kiss, and I'll go off to New Hope to get our daughters back. That, my dear, is a promise.

"Dylan...plans change" Kaitlyn said "We are here...because our plans...changed."

"These plans won't. I swear it."

"Dylan..." Her voice was now a strangled whisper "Go to the...the girls. Take them to our...home."

"I will. In a year, I will. I'll take them to our home, and when we get there, I'll write to you, I'll tell you all about Kaiya, Carly, and Kirsten. What they look like, what their personalities are like-"

"No."

"What do you mean, no?"

"I'll be dead...when you...leave. The healers...know it."

"They're wrong."

"No...they're right" Kaitlyn said "Tell the girls...tell them I love them."

"I will. I swear, I will."

"Dylan?"

"Yes?"

"I love you. I always...have...always will. Don't forget...about me" With that, Kaitlyn closed her eyes, and slowly, her chest stopped rising and falling. Her hand became limp in his own hand.

END FLASHBACK

So here he was. On the road, alone, and on his way to New Hope. He was going to get those girls back, or die trying. He had to

OK, so this chapter started with a little about Kel, Dom, and the girls, but this chapter was really for the Dylan/Kaitlyn part. Yes, Kaitlyn is dead, no she will not pull a Roger (or, as in the last story, a Joren) and come back to life. So, in case you didn't get it, Kaiya is a Rider, you'll learn more about the other sisters in later chapters...ok, so you've read the story, now review!
