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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVuxuXAy4m
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeNJn02Mzn
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTmpR9vioS

"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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmjwid4rwB
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmifoVBddLe
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ot7tzJ05W
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV3HHKw8HN
"Mom!" I yelled. "Mom!"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY9yW5IKHc
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW97m9yJFBv
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0qhJm5Jva
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhBIYRMjD5
"It's...okay..." She started coughing out blood.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiQGZDYsQn
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw071NR8Yaa
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ947WaUXigZ
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2cibS28Hf
"Help!" I yelled tears starting to flood my eyes. "Help!"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch5zBxVnWw
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EYKYgylTx
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOi4MIv97j
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyVZCJdIqy
"Mitsuko," she said. "I...love...yo...you." She died.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfozawibJp6

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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSaU9ZXH1I
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1YPgsCmBb
"Hello," the prince said.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8csg07UDj
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMgJi1uiCm
I just looked at him.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5vlYqk2yj
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnTjRSLgxy
"Not one for conversation I see," he said. "Ryuu, can you take her weapons off for me?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdslC6Ovnbl
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHy0GlRt32
"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 14.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgTeC7BS6P
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg1JOsoFUG
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRtoDy9iFe
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAJpfXmHXb
He handed my weapons to the prince who handed it to one of the people beside him.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS80cy4zQXs
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4VH3hzTXF
"Doesn't look like she carries any poisons," he said after a closer examination. "You should be fine."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h9CHAnozd
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ94e91ceWb
I noticed that the prince was avoiding the use of his left shoulder. Probably because I put a knife in it.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAAmcXgncM
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdUVfiG5Hi
"I thought assassins always dealt with poisons," the kid said.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFmTKgBlnZ
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHKpeuy2lV
"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."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP93gqcSEgv
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTDVoqUDea
"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."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikbF5BcCBb
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ugM0bePB
"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?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys1n4hTpHY
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDh910OSTj
"No," was my immediate response.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT01OX7lh8
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn2DDeHLVl
"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?518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW7fKTbi3U
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe0OPQzj94
"Then kill me here," I said. If I was going to be killed anyway, I'd rather die sooner than later.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg3PSqrEBa
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh0VpKarg5
"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!?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOe0XD68Gs
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNygFG7OOa
"There's no use in fighting him," the last of his 4 men said. "He's to stubborn to let you go."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqokJ7C6XxY
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvprKWnIDl
"No."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztFauSFblg
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh4xnMwxQ8
"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!?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOdlZC7WoF
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1hSZ5kShs
"Why would I want that?" I asked.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CuViEKA52
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJWK2UGtK8
"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."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0KQGISnz9
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BlGL9LJr4
"I could care less about them."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2QijLdDEP
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ1p4NbyDp
"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."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrZfKFKctf
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaRMAmbTLi
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24kD4sWeJ2
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXxqxy9xHa
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2rxCrcKLi
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8mTpw3og
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HmjrxzjCW
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrATjgTl8aY
"How long has it been since you last ate?" The kid asked me.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2IEf15Okx
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gHJF74Wb
I thought back. I hadn't eaten on the pirate ship or the day before I left or the day that I got here.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsqwRZHvuf
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hh7L5YQ7F
"5 days," I said.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2HsuEbul1
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAXmhUruyZ
"What!?" The boy yelled. "How are you not dead!? I can only go a few hours without eating!"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNWajtrapx
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflYvKik6rn
"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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDp3eyntRH
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rSzjmpp12
"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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMNw2bh9CX
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVqcKWvBvy
"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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5aGRhEzip
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOak45wR0IS
"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!"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGMlivtvUp
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGgWlpjzqv
"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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOQiippPZ5
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f6BubQhuv
"Kira," I said.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeeTzmUBUJ
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVGmptxByb
"Well, Kira," the prince said, "welcome to my personal special operations group!"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfIoZvDawI
