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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ivn5GLA4
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc44LPigWez
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXKtbcyA6t
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXPXFtHQxS
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSjC9neWUN
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytEMgDUePK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4cfYeFwPB
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwX2xmtjiL
"Mom!" I yelled. "Mom!"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhinZONkevH
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYQiXVJEdV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCHErG14O8
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt8voOVhdH
"It's...okay..." She started coughing out blood.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KPqbC5JPz
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWJFZsSvTC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfopoFQB3z
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBH7b1KVj3
"Help!" I yelled tears starting to flood my eyes. "Help!"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxe0j7alA1
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49qGpv5NpG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCdsk5gfa7
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnHwvQxe33
"Mitsuko," she said. "I...love...yo...you." She died.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNY8mXYTWm
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5y2jqTF9M
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbAL1rLUGr
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2inHzZxKGP
"Hello," the prince said.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgEZB9t9xs
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRsPa3JCj
I just looked at him.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVaMTc0R9l
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYUggAa7KG
"Not one for conversation I see," he said. "Ryuu, can you take her weapons off for me?"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4da29xtjrW
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz7SsrssRA
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZqWqNtU36
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9KDjd0ASQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwgtVM3C9h
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAzgev2tTr
He handed my weapons to the prince who handed it to one of the people beside him.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAxTK8oesf
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAhHNmsn0i
"Doesn't look like she carries any poisons," he said after a closer examination. "You should be fine."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvTuTEVXzL
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QTOZwJq5m
I noticed that the prince was avoiding the use of his left shoulder. Probably because I put a knife in it.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbgmc5dJ9n
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpv9qzRkHK
"I thought assassins always dealt with poisons," the kid said.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuqKW0r6w1
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIUcI8UP3O
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5is8czYaDV
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4GijtA2Ed
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNYX6WNDxU
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxJIw1GiW6
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXYhbCsXD6
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUme77MqYrV
"No," was my immediate response.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0YWASdpbV
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLEzAKZjLw
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJhjikrwju
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDFdLC8Y0C
"Then kill me here," I said. If I was going to be killed anyway, I'd rather die sooner than later.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKHYYGUMeO
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGua8wOplSt
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX3Aj0de6S
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QHscCV3eM
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMumDkV8Erf
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs4zPDsf58
"No."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEbqhjwJGM
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpXpqlTHxU
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33OccktfVp
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZDXPEZoRV
"Why would I want that?" I asked.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0wsmnK4mV
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9OflCZYNW
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9sCoXYKGB
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhCWTNItSZ
"I could care less about them."505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaNiWD6LoH
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP9S1TtVcD
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PK3G4h43i
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelSPT468ci
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bAa9b4Ge1
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZOJV6CaAz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHc7Af0FYI
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPo0mx3XQE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XnxSMvDQW
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRlg3MkkTw
"How long has it been since you last ate?" The kid asked me.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2CBgqNFqO
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd9mMokUUu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeyshJFp6s
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9lk6ygesF
"5 days," I said.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrQfhCn3c6
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqwnM30kH3
"What!?" The boy yelled. "How are you not dead!? I can only go a few hours without eating!"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGfuxWwwe7
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLFXZk86Dq
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDOlmmE1FK
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9CkoFf3Zt
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgQIbknVjU
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28pcqzEfKA
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPT1QlEYUW
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58aANGMpsZ
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUnH28dSJe
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6HUYeXvXM
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQvDYfoeLu
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GtKINh0WJ
"Kira," I said.505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQQFn0Ahxv
505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1BdfzlhNu
"Well, Kira," the prince said, "welcome to my personal special operations group!"505Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VOwHfwBQp
