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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7zemNg7KW

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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw9yCtraVU
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIEKGQX0hS
"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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Grlv5DlNE
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsGlAslNwk
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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZavNcNevO
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJUToIj24W
"Mom!" I yelled. "Mom!"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lnwRUPqob
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmjCR54Aqo
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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwSUpU8LTO
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE5rirNh9b
"It's...okay..." She started coughing out blood.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYYgwauh1k
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LKXkuxGaj
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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRLMkOACN4
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc79DSF9N1
"Help!" I yelled tears starting to flood my eyes. "Help!"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zZj5sbO4U
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAON5dRRUy
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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc450nG363
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpaT9hnM0H
"Mitsuko," she said. "I...love...yo...you." She died.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1DIQtAVFz
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWCEYi2eAC
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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGu1ohNho2
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9LvhfqZTN
"Hello," the prince said.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KAVYVt5IH
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspTFtfnXL
I just looked at him.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UxlpRLkLw
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ79V3mdYJ3
"Not one for conversation I see," he said. "Ryuu, can you take her weapons off for me?"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhy0KA7yN7
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcuXeO2bKw
"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 14.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw8Dt3rjhg
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhkbxfQmsn
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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSCE7PjJep
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7MfcK2zlb
He handed my weapons to the prince who handed it to one of the people beside him.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6YSYHp57C
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUBRSIeqaM
"Doesn't look like she carries any poisons," he said after a closer examination. "You should be fine."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0IwBWImOV
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCti7TWSGGJ
I noticed that the prince was avoiding the use of his left shoulder. Probably because I put a knife in it.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcv34dDm9F
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXksGNklV4Z
"I thought assassins always dealt with poisons," the kid said.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtLdQa8OHP
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRgkOiEPBb
"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."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcK5XGtlnI
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtA8nUIRzl
"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."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxq8mzxNsS
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65oVC58AhO
"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?"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmWqAbJ9Jq
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP8z8i5tqH
"No," was my immediate response.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5px5rpD7D
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxzAM3Bc1e
"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?505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9wh5VLm3A
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lFTd12Ex4
"Then kill me here," I said. If I was going to be killed anyway, I'd rather die sooner than later.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHEgWu4QJT
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6abSmTyIpF
"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!?"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHiyPFfK1r
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hKxLuXyZS
"There's no use in fighting him," the last of his 4 men said. "He's to stubborn to let you go."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZpwKqhVlN
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK1E3oCPWo
"No."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RQrs4SZ4O
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DYgFioIMG
"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!?"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebpeJvrGeE
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwuTHaTODo
"Why would I want that?" I asked.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ODbr0Yun4
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlQOLT1UZp
"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."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzZSGoqF8X
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxoek6XS1e
"I could care less about them."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoXfO1daec
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuaLwiwMRa
"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."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYwbddiOk9
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsJ58gk1DJ
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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHNoH7mx5v
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6nOfrDjeo
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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEhuDfRInG
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRAOh6Fg7v
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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8mWxUroSP
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe55P8zabk
"How long has it been since you last ate?" The kid asked me.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVhcMGeSmJ
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1KoLcHLy2
I thought back. I hadn't eaten on the pirate ship or the day before I left or the day that I got here.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVw1Ddy4Qs
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0hYJdxXYG
"5 days," I said.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3ftDc1Leg
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCjXVGzUq5
"What!?" The boy yelled. "How are you not dead!? I can only go a few hours without eating!"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NOzFBuTYT
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfzrM1WpVv
"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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGzifCrIC7
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcYTngDaHm
"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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Pf56jVFC
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEj2m8mfq1
"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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78RlyF04vo
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05YavNKIS0
"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!"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXDxaPGbuu
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ONt6D4Cx6
"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.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8ukYHtIqS
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPjRkBp03U
"Kira," I said.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4IsYkBZWC
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCmSzq2JQC
"Well, Kira," the prince said, "welcome to my personal special operations group!"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90boABP1rq
