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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbEyOBZ1Kf
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwDhbxBOPp
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6lYe2cucP

"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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9BspXqEFu
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wfbOF3u5C
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVke6Hu8MZb
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT2ntYTlBF
"Mom!" I yelled. "Mom!"512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TuPFMKNK3
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2k1GzbBFx
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyHC2MebsJ
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpf9NVXIgs
"It's...okay..." She started coughing out blood.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8raR1zGi5M
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKdDMb5Fsc
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7qrjb6I2x
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBXs1jWqhK
"Help!" I yelled tears starting to flood my eyes. "Help!"512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzG6A4PcGX
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQS6TNdHsJ
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlypotdE7hW
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFU3gwRAOp
"Mitsuko," she said. "I...love...yo...you." She died.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPLnsi0vFr

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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj6jM0E80k
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xj90BtxMk
"Hello," the prince said.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ0k0DYpja
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxtMAZnssh
I just looked at him.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jWxhy2TLV
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9lqpCqLaS
"Not one for conversation I see," he said. "Ryuu, can you take her weapons off for me?"512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5IoNCjHrI
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsLenMY4KO
"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 14.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW0uQbCqNW
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNArGnr9B9
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL4F8WCvVC
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7igwrfRTfA
He handed my weapons to the prince who handed it to one of the people beside him.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjla9S1evDe
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWK7ZIwZsD
"Doesn't look like she carries any poisons," he said after a closer examination. "You should be fine."512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE8AFscKLK
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Ine29E3g
I noticed that the prince was avoiding the use of his left shoulder. Probably because I put a knife in it.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtcroEM84e
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVYtjXncjk
"I thought assassins always dealt with poisons," the kid said.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vMLLjNpr7
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnl6ngMRI6
"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."512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqc2Mg7qN1
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vBalEktyo
"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."512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr0PUmXbTv
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWOjgJfpM2
"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?"512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDpNCS7UWe
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXM9ks3joY
"No," was my immediate response.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB7wXfT9XR
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziioRssBZB
"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?512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1rIWw4nYM
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04vYtWoIen
"Then kill me here," I said. If I was going to be killed anyway, I'd rather die sooner than later.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJM8jwsdNA
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuhUOI57co
"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!?"512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdETI5iSjVn
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRPkCeApUd
"There's no use in fighting him," the last of his 4 men said. "He's to stubborn to let you go."512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvhRs62Xq1
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjs3tdIxwh
"No."512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O57HXK3fc
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxskqboaUEb
"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!?"512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApI1nGIQDJ
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4AFHTRxYC
"Why would I want that?" I asked.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy1RhwsF81
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaRGfgL73H
"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."512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y66br1q0v
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2V5A8hkvj
"I could care less about them."512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XkVtMvpI1
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0CPqlbg7u
"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."512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiiL8MXC43
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AkVvpBhQ1
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmyqby3pxz
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTzHszIfz2
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkteOTomoks
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6WT2w4bhL
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR51K3bp1to
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVBAaZ2std
"How long has it been since you last ate?" The kid asked me.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J6V5Qy199
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWs7Y2HnE
I thought back. I hadn't eaten on the pirate ship or the day before I left or the day that I got here.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXYe7JFTAT
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cvbeMt49R
"5 days," I said.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FoXnRm8U7
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfQoc2nlwW
"What!?" The boy yelled. "How are you not dead!? I can only go a few hours without eating!"512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyfrfQk2AG
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejrGGeMUgw
"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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zsb8MtTJe
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhrfEd42uq
"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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q8SrGhye4
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8tLd8jC2
"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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBCoSyuSDG
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1lyYqvE4m
"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!"512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP47K4T8ZG2
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75CEeRZPtL
"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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yboAheZ8f
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2zIdbJCgj
"Kira," I said.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk2eF62bQc
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMrOeWWxYn
"Well, Kira," the prince said, "welcome to my personal special operations group!"512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CGly2GsUd
