~ July 21st ~

Hello once again journal. It's me, Alice. Why wouldn't it be anybody else? I guess that would be a problem Hehe. Anyway, commander Osaki told me to personally go to his office after dinner tonight. I have no idea what it is about. He said it was really important. It kind of makes me nervous. *Knock* *Knock* Oh Sasha is here. I will write in you another time. Ba-Bye!

~Alice

I close my journal and tuck it inbetween my 2 drawing books. You would never look there for a personal journal. I walk across the old wooden floor of my cabin to the door. It creaks terribly loud. A robber would have a tough time stealing from this place. But in all seriousness they should really replace these floors. And walls. And Furniture. Pretty much everything. I know this is a training camp and all, but they really should consider us a little more then just recruits. We work hard here.

"Hey Alice! Are you ready to go?"

"Why wouldn't I be? Not like im going to die or anything."

Yes, the worst part of the day is about to happen. The point in time every recruit dreads. Conditioning. I know that in the long run it's supposed to make you stronger and stuff. But if everyone leaves or dies before they actually get stronger, it's not really helping anyone.

"But your favorite part of the day is right afterwards. Am I right? Or am I right?"

"Speaking of dinner, I wonder what we are having?" I can hear my stomach growl. Im hungry. So very hungry. But I cannot eat anything until we are done conditioning. But Sasha looks ready to go. I have to be ready too. I have a reputation to hold. I am after all, the most skilled assassin here.

I will not deny it. Im skilled. Im beautiful. Im funny. Im athletic. Im perfect. Not really. Well ill give it to myself. Im pretty, But that's it. I have the Moon flame. Supposedly I can control all the flames plus the moon flame, but im not that skilled. The Moon flame is the rarest of the rare. So rare, I think im the only one who bears it, at least who is alive. Bearing the moon flame means that im the darkest of the dark (stealth) but the brightest of them all (I watch over everyone and shine the brightest). My flame burns a pretty white color. The only reason I know this is cause I read this in a text book in the library once. Commander Osaki has been keeping a close eye on me. He said to me when I first got here that if I succeed well, I will have a very good spot somewhere else. He never said where. He never said who with. Im assuming its in the Mafia. Cause this IS an assassin training camp for the mafia. But still…. Why would he….oh the "Moon flame" must have something to do with this. No it has everything to do with this.

"Oh!" I suddenly stopped in my tracks

"What is it, Alice?" Sasha turned around and looked at me curiously.

"No. Sorry Sasha. Keep walking. Im fine haha. I just realized something that's all" I gave her a sweet smile.

"Oh really? Okay then." She turned back around and started skipping forward. Then tripped over a pebble.

"Itai! That really hurt!"

I walked over and stood above her. And laughed.

"Hahaha! You really are a baka aren't you! Hahaha! That pebble is the size of sand. How the Hell did that happen? Hahaha!"

She got up by herself and started laughing too. "I guess I am a baka. But you are the clumsy one."

"I didn't trip over a pebble."

" I didn't spill wine on commander Osaki's favorite pants" She turned her head and gave her long brown hair a flip.

"…."

"…."

"….Oh no you didn't…" I lunged at her and that is all I remember.

It was after dinner and I was walking to commander Osaki's office. All I could think about was what Commander Osaki wanted and how good dinner was. Hanako-san's bread and potatoes are SO good! But really…. Was Commander sending me off to that place he told me awhile ago? I would like to get out of here. But I couldn't just leave my best friend here. Unless I was being sent to some faraway place, where there lived a beautiful prince and he wore gleaming armor and rode a white steed. Then in that case, yes, I would leave Sasha. But I doubt that will happen.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Excuse me Commander. You wanted to see me?" I Walked in and shut the door behind me.

"Yes I did. Please sit down."

I sat down in one of the two chairs sitting in front of his desk. It was pretty comfortable. It should be. If they spent half the money they did on that one chair for my room. I would be living in the lap of luxury. Commander was peacefully sitting in his chair, sipping his tea. All I could hear were the cicadas outside and the crackling of the fireplace. It's the middle of the summer and this guy has the fireplace on! That makes no sense. But it was odd. It wasn't like it was hot or anything in the room. If anything, it was cooler in this room then in my own cabin.

"So what was it you wanted to talk about?"

"Ah yes." He put his cup of tea down gently, folded his hands on his desk, and looked at me. "Do you remember what I told you the day we discovered what your flame was?"
