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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MTeBHMhjC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpvaKUYuy6
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNemSJFSkRc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCZgy4FQs4
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW76flbZhX
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5buK1OLIsp
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLgO23ZUbP
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUK1wraq75
"Mom!" I yelled. "Mom!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHQEMVAWcO
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUobq5VzIH
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBBb9DEVt4
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9uEh9jNqB
"It's...okay..." She started coughing out blood.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASo6h6yk4c
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBQ5YVMxZg
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Z7M1iY2J
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFoyyYBrUb
"Help!" I yelled tears starting to flood my eyes. "Help!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnflgWaLdO
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKr5MIMwGt
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHur3EmfR68
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQp1YHaZ7V
"Mitsuko," she said. "I...love...yo...you." She died.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5h6vK6gk3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzt66ePEXp
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMlw99GlAu
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsa0udbcfb
"Hello," the prince said.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KFwlEeqv6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiJYUJHkMm
I just looked at him.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfTMNA2DWh
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFV7Xt6xjW
"Not one for conversation I see," he said. "Ryuu, can you take her weapons off for me?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTReM7qDyZt
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJJEUI5FHe
"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 14.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHncj4ofcBf
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF7ZXVAtea
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNdRmKRslg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcu50XPVHe
He handed my weapons to the prince who handed it to one of the people beside him.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzRCUqrQYD
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v7KLscr8U
"Doesn't look like she carries any poisons," he said after a closer examination. "You should be fine."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrHOarSUa2
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0oTtVSc6
I noticed that the prince was avoiding the use of his left shoulder. Probably because I put a knife in it.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiootjFccl
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PQEHzGRA0
"I thought assassins always dealt with poisons," the kid said.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHbdWoCITd
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC1538jX0U
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FNTgEKeg6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIQPwXK6nR
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEthctjngy
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaeOanMY4A
"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?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnMRNsAxFx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNMCM3vdwO
"No," was my immediate response.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAC5bEBp4t
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxzw2oPJSO
"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?435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rWrXj1xrm
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5E9k20lSz
"Then kill me here," I said. If I was going to be killed anyway, I'd rather die sooner than later.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzZcPHm1i5
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshnwP94PwR
"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!?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4STPsAduY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN4NJ0OEOb
"There's no use in fighting him," the last of his 4 men said. "He's to stubborn to let you go."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjUNDOe3C1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb1Uv8Elcw
"No."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zIUU2bVfl
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKywddAXln4
"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!?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8GnSLYJq8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQrEBRYyCN
"Why would I want that?" I asked.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVuqJyyYYs
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1OINEvEQJ
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5sEuqnBN9
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS8PukDanD
"I could care less about them."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAgisxpdzp
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpjWuxeT0J
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o2qdBXEam
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9QmA4IAF0
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoTU7qsbM8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7tsjL0QZk
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebCwkmMBHZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCWQdW7hv8
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSbERTs0Ep
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRto7MAKkUX
"How long has it been since you last ate?" The kid asked me.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSimxLnnlN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFgqxvINaZ
I thought back. I hadn't eaten on the pirate ship or the day before I left or the day that I got here.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEwRsyeVEY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTXnPdBYx1
"5 days," I said.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt4ektdLUg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZOwNEi6VO
"What!?" The boy yelled. "How are you not dead!? I can only go a few hours without eating!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEu98gKyjD
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvZ41WfD1G
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7CmZTyPMp
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1jsE0Xxul
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvziR2WgQxW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8gVePOpj0
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUw9QyT3Qp
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmwGo5x4Tp
"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!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQNHX2xJBx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdFQJviUgr
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZNDrsGAC2
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvFP5bteUm
"Kira," I said.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UVFv7fhSf
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y1t5sbl4W
"Well, Kira," the prince said, "welcome to my personal special operations group!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYuVkiVi3V
