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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCqniUtuhS
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweYivAAFfR
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmAJEhldjm
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGrXLk3rwz
"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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT581IcFGJf
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sfvwVgwOD
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNlOA8PhQW
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lpCF4PcS9
"Mom!" I yelled. "Mom!"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrb5srvwr5
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFUSqSiifX
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeMF1qK5Fn
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKnYfhjUuq
"It's...okay..." She started coughing out blood.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSHc52atkQ
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERUWuhLlRB
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVY6dHcYKc
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3zXVKVYD3
"Help!" I yelled tears starting to flood my eyes. "Help!"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLpQubXNlj
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK6quIAzwN
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xafHZSKnV
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC8Lub2ewC
"Mitsuko," she said. "I...love...yo...you." She died.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5zQEHUp7x
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwP1fnnMP8
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudIl9lVEIk
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSwIbJ1Tyl
"Hello," the prince said.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBKTBeiWrs
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTcfVhRPSL
I just looked at him.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrQD5H5XYz
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmuGBoq3wo
"Not one for conversation I see," he said. "Ryuu, can you take her weapons off for me?"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOYRaFttLY
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw15q8aXxi
"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 14.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDij1Q4TkO
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ51Czc55VE
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UiMQYFJ64
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4l6sS6JIC
He handed my weapons to the prince who handed it to one of the people beside him.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxoJFy3lkj
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfJfdVwJYa
"Doesn't look like she carries any poisons," he said after a closer examination. "You should be fine."455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GLDNfMUoZ
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolnokEddmy
I noticed that the prince was avoiding the use of his left shoulder. Probably because I put a knife in it.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk1MtPkmih
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRXU8mIXtL
"I thought assassins always dealt with poisons," the kid said.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c20Ez4xBA
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZToXUUlyc
"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."455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv6a0FWW8O
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn6H0578wk
"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."455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoXUvrF1cT
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJKSvPKivl
"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?"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfTO9nszXE
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IReR8yKVG
"No," was my immediate response.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo95kBqHqFr
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClzOaXz1CQ
"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?455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjkzwsE4MU
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWWab1tLuO
"Then kill me here," I said. If I was going to be killed anyway, I'd rather die sooner than later.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHWajvNJgz
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8yCB3ChBp
"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!?"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg42jNeJRl
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGUYgmNwRH
"There's no use in fighting him," the last of his 4 men said. "He's to stubborn to let you go."455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1YFCAo7yd
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzctkQ4nDk
"No."455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3E3yTARFR
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjBslOsFPE
"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!?"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDWtCUTgW4
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqd1rFOWRA
"Why would I want that?" I asked.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1IRmq4QIk
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbyN36NtmC
"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."455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlTTXPeK5Z
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjMdjty9Rh
"I could care less about them."455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApCCUrFi7Y
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGdNApNXOL
"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."455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKURJr6Jb4
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEnGcJpa8e
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7FsL0CDas
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy28Bguy1vs
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM8bX9RQMf
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TEnWqvUUj
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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgYQJM4ebQ
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXhnafkRZ8
"How long has it been since you last ate?" The kid asked me.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnHDa7fPpZ
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbazwgaTBY
I thought back. I hadn't eaten on the pirate ship or the day before I left or the day that I got here.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygtgjMlkzh
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC7nCnc8Nx
"5 days," I said.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLounK0mdDc
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEBhWTDKK0
"What!?" The boy yelled. "How are you not dead!? I can only go a few hours without eating!"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmxQTOhYYi
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6JehwQzfg
"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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByvVpQloOw
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfa4RqJMHi
"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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx1aahL6Qd
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRSPCaf9sN
"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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKgWtU1WJq
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo395JZ5NcX
"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!"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklm1RcWUYo
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAX8jV2JB8
"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.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2lwypaird
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBFN4N1ZRY
"Kira," I said.455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyASIqMNQkR
455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmhTndfWaX
"Well, Kira," the prince said, "welcome to my personal special operations group!"455Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVKLwQeNMM
