Farmland Taken (Cerberus and Tainted Rose)

[Cerberus]

The sun was shining and it seemed to be a wonderful day. The country of Emmeria had seen no problems even after the Ulysses 1994XF04 Asteroid. To the people on the Emmerian side all they had seen was shooting stars as it passed over them and landed in the neighboring country of Estovokia. They had gotten it much worse with a high death toll, their government collapsing and falling to a military government. Had the Emmerian government aided the creation of the Stonehenge project then perhaps things might of turned out differently.

Back In Gracemeria the day seemed like any other day, good weather forecasted for the day and nothing seemed to be of any trouble to a small little farm outside the city limits of Gracemeria. Suddenly rockets flew over head before dissapearing over the horizon where the city would be after a few minutes someone had come out side shouting. "The Bridge, They took out King's Bridge!" It wasn't long until tanks and troop carriers started to roll down the road. Toscha got out of the jeep and looked around as he checked his rifle. "Spread out, get those people back inside." The other soldiers nodded and started to crowd the people back into their houses. Toscha nodded and laughed abit. "Soon Gracemeria will be ours."

Saturday, now there was a day that could never be ignored. A day where you didn't have people bickering at you and no work to do. Just laze about and enjoy the day as it slowly went by. Plus the fact that it had now become summer only made this Saturday even better. In the Leto's darkened room the soft sounds of dog's feet were softly heard plotting on the floor before jumping into his master's bed and licking Leto on the face. "All right all right im up, gah!" He sighed and yawned and stretched before sitting up and throwing the blankets off of him and onto the bed. "All right Shadow lets get you some food." He smiled and ran his hands over the husky's muzzle and pulled on his p.j pants and a white tee-shirt. Leto knew he had to get up and at least start the days chores, feed the animals and then he could relax.

Natalie was normally the last one up on Saturdays. This time, she was the first. She had gotten up a bit earlier today, rather eager to check on the new horse her mother had bought for her.
After changing into a new pair of shorts, she left her room. For a moment she pet the dog as it walked by in the hall and headed to Lato's room. After that, she left the house.
As she walked to the big barn she could hear the animals wide awake, a majority of them at least. She then opened the doors amd walked inside to check on the horse as well as a few others while she was there..

Alice woke a little later than her son and daughter. She got dressed, knowing at least Lato's would be up but was surprised Natalie was awake as well when she checked her room.

"They're going to be hungry soon.." she then said to herself as she made her way down into the kitchen, deciding on getting a head start with making breakfast for everyone.

Toscha looked at the road map then to his driver. "Up there along the hill, a small house, Lets go and see just who is living up there. The soldiers nodded and some got back into their jeep. Toscha got back in and they drove up the road. He checked his watch for a second before sitting back and enjoying the ride noticing the people mostly obeying orders from the Estovokian soldiers. The Jeep pulled up and the soldiers got out. He made a motion with his hand for his soldiers to wait outside. Some of them looked at Toscha while others walked around the house. Toscha waited outside and watched his soldiers. He turned down his radio for a second as it was starting to bother him. He walked up to the door and knocked on it. It was true that the enmy was on their front doorstep.

Leto then thought about it for a second and looked at Shadow. "Oh sorry boy come on lets let you go out back for morning bathroom. Sorry boy." He laughed and grabbed his shoes and slipped them on and headed to the back yard and let Shadow go and head out" Once shadow was done with his morning bathroom break he trotted back over to Leto and barked. Leto laughed and just patted him on the head. "Well time for breakfast so go lay down." He walked back through the sliding glass door and to the living room and sat down watching the news as he always did. He stopped when he heard the knocking on the door. "Wonder who that could be

Alice had started making some pancakes as she heard Leto let the dog out back. She was almost finished when she heard him come back in. Not long after that there was a knock at the door and she stepped out of the kitchen. Not many people came to this house and so it made her curious as to who it may be.

"Will you go and answer the door Leto?" she soon asked her son.

~~~~~~~

Natalie was in that barn and wasn't quite aware of anyone outside. She was in the back where two horses were resting. She sat beside the black one, gently brushing his mane. She had already given him some more food and looked out at the other animals in the barn, checking on the food bins that she can see from where she was.

Toscha walked in and was followed by a few soldiers who said something in a different language. Toscha nodded and they moved around the house. "As you can tell M'am as of right now your government is no more and ours is in control of this country. Now our soldiers will be here for some time and I was wondering if I could set up my and my men's camp here on this nice farm land." Toscha looked Alice over before going on. "It would be a welcomed change instead of some barracks to enjoy a nice relaxing spot right here. So now if you wouldn't mind bringing your family down and telling them as well."

The soldiers walked around the house to make sure that no one was waiting to ambush them as they started to secure the house, a few others walked in and looked at Leto and Alice before ushering them into the living room and forcing them to the couch. but before they did that they took Leto aside and searched him for any weapons. Toscha looked at the dog who was growing at him before Leto quickly grabbed Shadow to calm him down before the soldiers did anything.

Toscha looked around the house looking at Pictures of the girls and Leto. it seemed like their was no picture of a father or any father figure. the only male was leto and he would be able to keep controled. Iliya walked up over to Toscha and said something to him and waited for his orders while his soldiers were first sweeping the downstairs rooms.

When Leto opened the door, Alice saw the soliders come into the house. It made her quite nervous with the words that were spoken
She managed to hide that though and just nodded. Not a word was spoken from her though and she went into the living room when her and Leto were led into it and then forced to sit on the couch. She watched the soliders for a moment before her attention went to Leto and the barking dog.

Natalie smiled as she stood. She finished brushing the horse and then she stepped away from him. She took a bag of animal feed and soon went around, filling up the feeders for the animals. It didn't take her too long to do and then she looked around. A few of the pens and stalls needed to be cleaned out, but she needed her brother's help for that. So, she left the barn, unaware of what was going on inside the house as she made her way to it. When she got to the front door, she noticed a strange car parked nearby. "That's odd..." she said to herself.
Looking back to the door, she opened it. "Mom?" she called as she walked inside...
