Though sleeping in a net hanging 10-15 feet above the ground wasn't quite the most comfortable place, I've been in worse. I quickly fell asleep and had a dream that night.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydj7UsXRD2
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBsyfMZceq
I looked into mom's dark red eyes. Each day, they got darker and darker. She had been sick and people refused to take care of her because of me. Her daughter, who looked like a demon because of her bright red eyes. They locked us in a tower and carved demon into my back at the age of 13. I didn't care though. As long as mom was here everything would be fine. That's always what she said while she put me to sleep.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTyI1GC3Wr
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFqg2M8ZoK
"Everything's going to be alright," she cooed. She brushed her fingers through my hair. I pretended to fall asleep and watched her lay down and fall asleep beside me. I opened my eyes and sat up next to her. I always spent the night watching her incase she stopped breathing. That's how I got my habit of sleeping during the day.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnQof6jAl3
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAWoL2Xrg5
For a while I thought she was fine. Then "that" happened. She was reading me a book in the small part of the tower where we had been locked away. Suddenly blood started to fall out of her mouth and onto the book.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80KVnw8Fm4
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8yUhTlycW
"Mom!" I yelled. "Mom!"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJguMgN3xXo
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNScmggAQJA
I watched her slowly fall of the chair. She brought her hand by her mouth and rubbed some of the blood away. She put her hand on my cheek, forgetting about he blood.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLAgO6RuI6
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv4zyJSjhy
"It's...okay..." She started coughing out blood.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7ZHyeyBj0
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHD7rQVRkC
I ran to the locked door at the side of the room. I tried to rip it open but it wouldn't budge. I gave up and started banging on it.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiI9VvOyTL
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCECXkKOdS
"Help!" I yelled tears starting to flood my eyes. "Help!"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWvZLcbg7a
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG45aE41omU
But nobody was there. And even if someone was they wouldn't want to help the girl demon and her mom. I watched mom slowly fade away.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx93FZ7Poaq
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Xc89IQVi
"Mitsuko," she said. "I...love...yo...you." She died.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi0287Ugm0
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ05brNSzss
That was when I woke up. I looked down and saw 5 of the people from yesterday looking up at me. The prince was one of them.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5V3uAiIJa
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhpVq1gpg0
"Hello," the prince said.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK1DGugQfL
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDyFbVROX9
I just looked at him.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVn48HqlYx
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGtmQOtDhA
"Not one for conversation I see," he said. "Ryuu, can you take her weapons off for me?"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iIVPLmIvB
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu5cOuwTf7
"Yes sir!" Said a little boy standing by the prince. How did someone this young get into the king's court? He looked like he was only 14.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKICci5xldf
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcM6FXLagc
He jumped up and gripped the net with his left hand and disarmed me with his right. Because I was tangled in the net, I couldn't do anything about it.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaheDkH2Hb
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡramY5BOryh
He handed my weapons to the prince who handed it to one of the people beside him.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaNaXrzXaP
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcF2Hjqg8x
"Doesn't look like she carries any poisons," he said after a closer examination. "You should be fine."590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVLgIxn0Vr
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqc4xkbg2t
I noticed that the prince was avoiding the use of his left shoulder. Probably because I put a knife in it.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYDVQ120Jg
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DqrBj2eRZ
"I thought assassins always dealt with poisons," the kid said.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscvn3nMRp2
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HoVRf1Bor
"Most do," said one of the others. I think he was the one holding my wrists yesterday, mostly because his right arm was wrapped tightly. "I guess this is just a weird one."590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUrOz4rJrL
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW5yX64H3U
"It would have been smart to take poisons with you," said another one of them. He was probably the oldest. Maybe 35ish. "If you had we would've been dead by now."590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A2ObMeZWX
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7pWBN6Bsf
"Okay Miss Assassin," the prince said looking up at me. " I have a proposition for you. You are clearly very strong and fast. You see these 4 men standing around me. This is my special operations team. They are the 4 strongest men in the country, until you came around. I would like you to be the 5th and final member of my special operations team. So. What do you say?"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qOwPSRN2Y
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUavPnhkXm
"No," was my immediate response.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdqhjJIKS7
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDTPjRlluS
"What!?" For some reason he was surprised that I said no. "Why not!? Would you rather just go back to your country and be killed for not completing your mission!? I'm not going to let you go back to your country just to be killed!" Why was he so stubborn?590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6ydvS8BDJ
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkeH24CUXX
"Then kill me here," I said. If I was going to be killed anyway, I'd rather die sooner than later.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNYAVJYzFt
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHm0LB0tAm
"No!" He yelled. "That's not the point! Why are you so set on dying anyway!? Why can't you just stay here and live!?"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TdspC7giV
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbOG1sfFPi
"There's no use in fighting him," the last of his 4 men said. "He's to stubborn to let you go."590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzvKnCF1VW
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt9EoNWgYd
"No."590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByOkUkJEWK
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTXPetBsdX
"Okay," the prince said. He started to think and suddenly got an idea. "How about, if you stay here, I'll give you a reason to smile!?"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxnptJeGOh
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHuafnA433
"Why would I want that?" I asked.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cQ4Xi3jZd
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfRomWRhRn
"Because it's so much more fun to smile than to be all grumpy like that!" What is he so stubborn!? When I say no, I mean no! "And besides," he said finally getting serious, "there may be some secrets to your countries history that you may want to know."590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKChsIge1vu
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjWiRPazl1
"I could care less about them."590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygkq0DPKPt
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrLeJycWn3
"Your so hard to deal with!" He was like a little kid. "Is there anything you really want that I can give you in exchange for your strength."590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLHs8WvmZu
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJFcrwecEQ
I thought about it for a second. Suddenly my stomach began to gurgle. A sly smile came onto the princes face. "How about we talk about this over some food? Sho, can you cut her down?" He said to one of his men.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZOJiGzTlK
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeKKHPhFhG
They led me through the halls in the Capitol. I got lots of terrified looks from maids and guards. That was to be expected though. I was a foreigner from the country they were at war with and had bright red eyes.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP6OkhqmpF
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XaH2ulEw1
They walked me into a small room with a table in the middle of it. They had a chef bring in lots of gourmet foods. I looked at the food. I could be poisoned but after all the effort he put into trying to recruit me and not wanting to kill people, probably not.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiJX7sMroQ
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkygnKJZ5SN
"How long has it been since you last ate?" The kid asked me.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6CkrLatRn
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9nTiqSKFO
I thought back. I hadn't eaten on the pirate ship or the day before I left or the day that I got here.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ651O2fC5y
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH71jBsbxm
"5 days," I said.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVR4wGF5Qk
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMrfTfVQ5W
"What!?" The boy yelled. "How are you not dead!? I can only go a few hours without eating!"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlfZVYKiMZ
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq4mHlbL8V
"You can eat all you want," the prince told me. The people around me started to eat. They looked like they were having fun though. I took a bite of the food. It tasted so good! I though about his earlier proposal. Maybe being apart of their little group wouldn't be so bad.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHsRKykJdq
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCwcZQG2de
"I guess," I said, "it wouldn't be so bad to stick around for a while." At least until everything calms down in my own country.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSQLR8sfNm
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ajFNIKzHV
"I knew you'd come around," the prince said. "It's good to have you. I may be the prince, but you can just call me Ko." I started taking in the features of the people around me. Ko had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He always had a huge smile on his face.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8qwIrw3Bh
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssWQX2RWGS
"I'm Ryuu!" The killed yelled. He had green eyes and wild red hair that fell to a little above his shoulders. "He's Sho," Ryuu said pointing to the one who cut me out of the tree. I noticed that he had a scar going over his left eye. "And he's Nao," Ryuu said pointing to the one that was holding m wrists earlier. He had bright purple eyes and dark brown hai that was combed perfectly down the sides of his head. "He doesn't talk much and he's kind of scary at first but you'll get to know him eventually!"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtHVsD72eQ
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowCZ6werOM
"And I'm Toshi," the older one said. He had white eyes, they were rare but not quite as rare as red eyes. He had light brown hair.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Xbr1XbZx
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJlQ0FVY1W
"Kira," I said.590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV2gMrWG6b
590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0arhdg53iG
"Well, Kira," the prince said, "welcome to my personal special operations group!"590Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtefK8xdTsV
