Hey everyone! I really hope you enjoy my story! Ummmmmm.........so I am in the middle of writing it and will update whenever I feel like it not a moment sooner, thought I would get that out of the way.
So this chapter is deliberately confusing just to let you know but sometime later in the story (I can't tell you when) all will be answered. You just might want to send me your questions just to make sure I address them though cuz who knows what questions people will have! So I'll let you go know! I hope you enjoy the story!
By the way, I'm not Tamora Pierce just in case you thought I was!!!!!
"Run, Run, Run!!!!!" Someone screamed behind the running girl. She didn't need any encouragement though. Her legs were moving as fast as they could go. Despair seeped through her body as she wove in and out of ally ways and people. She had to try, had to get away, she didn't want to spend her childhood in a prison cell, or die a premature death.
Suddenly her foot caught on a cobblestone, she tripped up, stumbling over her legs. Though she managed to catch her self before she ate dust, all her momentum had been lost. As she desperately tried to climb to the roofs and huge hand grabbed her waist and yanked her back down. She was too small, too weak to do anything but lay limp in his arms. Her only advantage had been her size and speed, making it possible to weave through people and duck around corners faster that her adult pursuers.
The familiar terror at getting caught permeated her body as she sat strait up in bed. She shifted her bleary, sleep ridden eyes back and forth in absolute confusion. Looking down at the tangle of blankets she was sitting in she realized she wasn't at home in the Shinika compound.
"Sha!" A deep male voice yelled in her ear. Spinning deftly, she shot a foot out tripping up the tall man behind her. "Sha" his voice cried out as he came crashing to the ground.
"You did that on purpose" she gritted out. "You know how I react to morning surprises, actually any surprises."
"Sha come on" he groaned from the ground, "I couldn't help it, couldn't resist."
"Shut up" She grasped his outstretched hand, but smiling evilly she helped him a little farther up than he had expected.
His back hit a tree on the other side of the clearing with a resounding thud. "Ouch Sha" he wisely held his ground, "Can't you take a little joke!!"
"Not in the mornings, but you definitely got me out of bed. I can't very well sleep when throwing people around!" Sha said grinning a predatory grin.
"Yeah right," he muttered, "If it's a new way to fight, believe me! You'd figure it out. Fighting in your sleep, how cool would that be??!??"
"Already do that man," Sha cracked up, "It's called dreaming."
"Very funny" he muttered as they started their morning exercises.
Four hours later Sha was sweating profusely. She had finally finished doing her training regime, 4 times without a single break for water or anything else. Pushing her multi colored hair out of her face. Her deep, dark, maroon/red eyes peered around looking for Marcus.
"Marc," She cried, walking over to her packs. Swinging them onto her back, she melted back into the trees. No less than two seconds later Marc faded out of the shadows next to her. They turned as one, heading deep into the forest! They had wasted enough time already; they had a goal they had to reach and a mission to complete. They couldn't afford to waste anymore time.
Well I definetly hope you enjoyed this chap! I will be updating soon I think! Sooooo, write a review, just a suggestion though. See you soon : )
