There was once a young Lily that dance in a field of roses as they cheer until a spider Lily show up. And crush the young Lily's show. As the roses turn to spider Lily and the Lily dance alone.
Uncle Grey told me that story, In case I get betray and the truth come out, turned out he was right.
The students and teachers were in classroom two with Quinn up front and Susannah in the back of the class.
Quinn squeezed the ends on the teacher table and took a long breath. "I will tell you all. How and why did an outsider like me got into the Mafia."
19 years ago. Year 4005.
A Government Building, Three people in a lab coat were walking together.
A young male walks up faster. "Hurry up Jericho!" This man was name Trevor.
"I'm coming!" Jericho smiled and ran up. Then a female voice sighed. "Hey these hallway echo you two."
I was new to the team. Runa and Trevor aka; Susannah's Parents we work together to found a solution to heal injury faster and mostly to cure death.
We were a hidden department of this government plan, and mostly cause of one thing. 001 experiment, by drawing blood from Runa and Trevor DNA. They created her.
Runa clicks on a button to show a white room. "Quinn meet 001." He looked though the double side mirror. To see a one year old girl stacking blocks. She wore a blue dress with a white ribbon sew on her dress,as her hair touch her back.
"She looks like Trevor." Jericho smirked. Runa scoffed. "I know right, my genes are better."
Jericho sat down. "So why is this little one here, does she need to be cured?"
Runa leaned on the table as she grinned. "No she is a cure for the 2024 war that caused it all."
Jericho's eye widen. "The Belladonna!" He pushes the chair to the ground and turns back to 001, no way this little girl is....
Runa put her forearm on Trevor's shoulder. "Yes it turns out Trevor's family genes are full of Belladonna." Jericho looks hurt they knew each other since they became runaway.
"Trevor you told me you were an orphan?"
"More of a runaway I had to because I could not agree with my parents about hiding this."
Jericho was still unsure about this. "But she is so small."
Runa clicks on the button to make the mirror look black again. "We will wait until she gets older don't worry about your rich little head, Jericho."

Jericho was in the white room watching her draw and also reporting her movement. "So 001 what are you drawing?"
She picked up her drawing to show him. "Me. Dancing I want to be a ballerina when I grow up." She held the drawing close to her. As Jericho fake a smile.
"Really? That's amazing." He wrote it down but it was a note for him and not the higher up.
She pouted as she put the drawing on the small table. "Yeah but I want a real name 001 is weird."
Jericho put his hand under his chin. "Do you like flowers?" She turned to him and nodded.
"But I like roses."
He snapped his fingers. "Got it!" She grabbed on to his lab coat.
"And lilies." She added.
Break Room*
Jericho was eating a meat stick as he looked though the Holo computer. Trevor had a cup of coffee as he stop behind Jericho.
"Yo Jerry, what are you doing?" Trevor asked.Jericho finished the meat stick and put his head on the chair back.
"Names for 001." He answered. Trevor look a little surprise by that.
"Really now?" Runa had espresso in her hands. Jericho chuckled. "We can't keep calling her 001."
Trevor finished his coffee. "True....."
Jericho cross his arms. "She told me, she likes lilies and roses."
Runa snapped her fingers. "Lily or Rose."
Jericho wave his hand. "Nah to on the nose."
"Susannah.....?" Trevor added. Runa and Jericho look at him in amazed.
"Susannah?" Jericho smiled and went to the white room. As the break room went silent as Runa and Trevor was lift alone.
"Kind of a long name don't you think?" Runa put her arms on Trevor's shoulders.
Jericho open the door, as she was watching the nutcracker. He walk over to her and tap the top of her head.
"Hello 001."
She lift her head to look at him. "Hello Sir." He put a name tag on her. She was little confused and stared at it.
He got to her level. "Do you know what it says?"
She sounds it out. "Susannah."
He nodded. "Yes it means lilies." She smiled and dance around.
"I love it!" She laughed. Jericho sat on the ground with her as she sat on his lap.
She looks at his name tag. "Your name is Jerry Cos?" He chuckled and flick her forehead.
"You can call me Quinn?" He said. She nodded and crossed her arms. "Quinn suits you better anyway." He laughed and petted her head.

Runa put some papers on the table that made Jericho and Trevor flinched by the impact of the heavy papers.
"What this?" Jericho sighed. Remember those summer packets you got as the kid or the phone books? That table almost broke.
"Highers ups want to move 001." Runa explains. Trevor cross his legs. "Move her to another building?"
Runa tapped her fingers on the table. "No, to get the Belladonna." Trevor pushes his chair to the ground.
"Already we were told ten!" Trevor's knuckled turn white. Runa got the thought of him getting attached to 001.
Runa sighed, lowing her shoulders. "They move it up next week." She blurted.
Susannah's Room*
She was doing some worksheets. Jericho was writing it down. "I finished." She show him.
"Good job, Susannah. Uh listen remember the talk we had about you being sick?"
Susannah put her work down and clutched the ends of her dress. "Yeah I was gonna be put in a deep sleep?"
Jericho grabbed his forearm trying not to cry. "Guess what next week we will find a cure?"
Susannah gasped with happiness. "Really I can't wait!"
I had to lie to her. She was innocent in all of these, and it was not fair all she wanted was to be a ballerina.
Few days later*
Jericho and Susannah were holding hands down a long white hallway. She had a teddy bear in the other arm.
Runa and Trevor were waiting for them, Jericho got to her level. "Susannah ready to be cured?"
Susannah look at him. "You lie to me, Quinn."
Jericho flinched. "What?"
Susannah pulled the bear closer to her. "I'm the cure." Jericho grabbed her shoulders.
"How did you found out?" He was scared, she was never supposed to know. But that smile she gave me.
"It's okay I will help other people get better." Susannah touch my cheek and smiled.
Trevor placed her on the table. Jericho kicked the door open and grabbed Runa's lab coat.
"You told her didn't you?!"
Runa grab Jericho's hand. "We have a job to do, this is what happens when you get too close to the subject." Jericho scoffed and let go of her.
"But-"
"Relax, higher up are not that heartless we will put her in a simulation." Runa smiled Trevor put the headset over Susannah's head that cover her eyes.
Runa push a button. "She like roses right?"
Jericho nodded. On the screen, Susannah was standing in a field of roses.
Runa bite her lip. "Once she gets use to the headset we start." Runa walked away. Jericho look down.
Runa grinned. "Jericho I'm just gonna say this once, the higher ups always get what they want."
