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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWTwW1qJMM
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBTwyDQMH3
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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmETbDMtJUt
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjekVTqvNR3
"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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gB5EzkWJc
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xnQFurOaf
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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUkeJHMsYw
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUlx45MJEs
"Mom!" I yelled. "Mom!"484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdAz072Lne
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1p3AY03h0
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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4O2B1BA1A
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGHIa8te7P
"It's...okay..." She started coughing out blood.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cMgy1CSQc
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWTGLqLcdC
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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6YE6YRIZJ
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5WvBRnnVm
"Help!" I yelled tears starting to flood my eyes. "Help!"484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tHqgwvLmS
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWdQ6eDU9Z
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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSpIM0Om5G
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN1nycmeEq
"Mitsuko," she said. "I...love...yo...you." She died.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHxIScuIEa

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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JUv1zIbmH
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTmcCv6dkG
"Hello," the prince said.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0zYeqmADJ
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6T4Q754Gc
I just looked at him.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0npuKeemr
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh8mLBMC2C
"Not one for conversation I see," he said. "Ryuu, can you take her weapons off for me?"484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWlKoj8cdX
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K9ybVq7pS
"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 14.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGYh3u3R6K
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhiLoY79jt
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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WpaqSirbR
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkSZKslu7o
He handed my weapons to the prince who handed it to one of the people beside him.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYmlGrjovh
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYQCez88j4
"Doesn't look like she carries any poisons," he said after a closer examination. "You should be fine."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGUCXcXAVL
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAFRhOy4cO
I noticed that the prince was avoiding the use of his left shoulder. Probably because I put a knife in it.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHjQpfqaro
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUVJe5Kr8e
"I thought assassins always dealt with poisons," the kid said.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjHbCliKCe
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWCsTnSIrl
"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."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISWSIF512T
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b1rNuqebM
"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."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAQBZxGQq7
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOaUg8Dpqv
"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?"484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEX8BHpK7M
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXBfBjxtJl
"No," was my immediate response.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IPQf20CGT
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Zivs11VT
"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?484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymjfdsx1IU
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7PRpWqk6l
"Then kill me here," I said. If I was going to be killed anyway, I'd rather die sooner than later.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPlsrDmfCf
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtZmmnUOYI
"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!?"484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdkWx7XmkT
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepRVDEm6eK
"There's no use in fighting him," the last of his 4 men said. "He's to stubborn to let you go."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1yJlQJHcM
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYldJqmWSM
"No."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBkzQRPgFz
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EuyDDjiww
"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!?"484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQKX774e4J
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdTf5Y3ziZ
"Why would I want that?" I asked.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUbWBTx6Uq
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5jV2loDOd
"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."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95OB1JhLOD
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFLOa3kX8f
"I could care less about them."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjyeOGPisn
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABHBukfEvF
"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."484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4d14F05WB
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYokdJAFheG
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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BV0Iv4XSG
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA69egXilJ
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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxCal4NOW6
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWzC9rWt7F
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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW6ebXhtjO
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmPwJyzBSs
"How long has it been since you last ate?" The kid asked me.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGNT6bqRTi
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqACnu8JmhC
I thought back. I hadn't eaten on the pirate ship or the day before I left or the day that I got here.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hkatp1TCn
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsNTprtU2V
"5 days," I said.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNtTrrpOvn
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM9jpZI96s
"What!?" The boy yelled. "How are you not dead!? I can only go a few hours without eating!"484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qGsbT9N6z
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95F2DJ0sdV
"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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5KrQd866x
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP5x3Iv1Iz
"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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYASkJtlAa
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEiUP9Swrl
"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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj27uFeOiz
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAPferrs3W
"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!"484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOsEH1WWBd
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MbqeeaFiY
"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.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4yfRdSJQZ
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfm8iHR0LV
"Kira," I said.484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAZLtkBqZv
484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi0iHmxij0
"Well, Kira," the prince said, "welcome to my personal special operations group!"484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFT8MQyJkR
