I woke up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat. There was someone
standing at the end of my bed. Icould see them through the sheer curtain
covering my bed posts.Reaching beside me I groped on my bedside table for
"Armageddon", the sword I had been training with lately.I found the sword,
but I must have been making noise , because the person perked up and turned
around.It looked as if he had been listening at the door for something.
I could tell that he was a guy, about my height and build, and...Wait a minute..." Daryn is that you?I sat up just as the guy pulled back the curtain.My best friend, Daryn, was standing at the end of the bed, staring at me."What are you doing in here? If my mother or father catch you in here they'll go off the deep end!"
I screeched, trying to cover up at the same time." You sh...."
I was cut off by Daryn's hand over my mouth. " Shhh! Be quiet! They'll hear us..."Daryn whispered in my ear.
I started struggling violently with him, but it was difficult, because he was the same size as me , and neither is stronger.
wrestling him off of me, I asked" Who will hear us?"Daryn had gone back to listening at the door, motioning for me to be quiet.
I took my opportunity to go over to my wardrobe and slip on a camisole and underwear.When I had finished, I walked over to the door, where he was standing, and repeated my question."Who will hear us?"
Daryn turned around stared me down." The same people who murdered My parents...and yours.The same people wh-who murdered Kain."His voice faltered at this last statement, but I wasn't listening. No.Murder? Kain? Rydia? Edge? Mother? Father? No. "No." It was a statement made to a wall.
Daryn wasn't listening.His normally bright green eyes looked sullen, and his normally smiling face was nonchalant.
"We have to get out of the castle, They'll be looking for us." He said as he opened the door."And wear something practical. We dont know what we'll meet out there." I heard as he disapeared down the stairwell. Thinking, I headed towards the wardrobe again and flung it open.Staring at my reflection, in the mirrored door,I thought I looked like my father. Long, silvery blonde hair, falling in sheets on my shoulders, and his dark blue eyes, shot with fecks of molten silver.My small nose and mouth look like mother's, and my petite, heart-shaped face didn't belong on my slim, sinewy body.I was tall...taller than either mother or father.
At 6'2" I was taller than everyone inthe castle, except Daryn and Kain.
Stopping my train of thought, I focused on the clothes in my wardrobe.I grabbed my training clothes off the hanger, and put them on. For the amount of skin it covered, My training outfit was warm.A skintight Black leotard,with a short purple skirt, built for agility, and quick movements,set off with a black cape, and black dragon-hide boots set off the outfit.I grabbed my bag, and threw it on the bed with Armageddon and my cloak.Before I left my room, I took a ribbon, and tied my hair back on my head, so that I could put on my cloak and not be recognized.I grabbed Armageddon and put it in it's sheath.Slinging it on my back, I left the room , putting on my bag and cloak while running down the stairs soundlessly.
Leaving the tower, I ran ahead until I got to the over-hang. Taking a hard left, I opened the door, and what I saw nearly made me scream....
