Chapter One

She moved and lived as if every day was her last day. Some feared her, and she used their fear to her advantage. Her motive was kill or be killed. Some say they have seen her kill, no one believes them for she leaves none alive nor does she leave evidence. She whispers in her victim's ear softly. Her voice full of power and knowledge, then she strikes. Fast, deadly and unforgiving. Her victims know she is coming and know it would be foolish to run for she will always find who she is looking for. They call her the Invisible Slayer.

Willow looked at her watch and sighed. Only two more hours of work left. Her students were restless today. A small girl with long blonde hair came up to her desk, 'Miss, Johnson?'

Willow smiled down at the 15 year old and asked, 'what is it Tegan?'

'Can you read my draft please?'

'Of course I can, do you have any homework from other subjects?' The girl shook her head. 'In that case go and read quietly while I read this. As soon as I am finished you may start the good copy,'

Willow had a hard time with the more advance students as they were left with nothing to do for most part. She looked through Tegan's work once again impressed with the detail she had put in her narrative. Marking did not take a long time and Ella was soon writing her good copy. A ringtone went off in the silent class room. Willow sighed recognizing the number, 'All right class I need to take this, keep working in silence please.'

Willow walked out the room and answered her phone. 'What do you want?'

A man replied sternly, 'I have a case for you.'

Willow sighed and replied, 'I cannot talk I am in the middle of a lesson.'

'You know of our agreement.'

Willow looked inside her classroom to make sure her kids were still working before she replied, 'give it to me.'

'They are like you. But rather they have come for revenge,' she waited for him to go on, but he never did.

Hesitantly Willow asked, 'what is it they're after?'

'They want your head. They have inside sources to confirm that you are building an army against them. You must strike them before they strike you.'

'Who has betrayed us?'

'I think you and I both know it was Daniel. He was never on our side.'

'They should have known before but now they know for certain. I will deal with it.' Willow replied, her dark brown eyes flash with anger and desperation.

She looked in the window and saw her students chatting away. She walked in, 'right you all get an early minute, go home.' Her students rushed out and she grabbed her bag and wiped of any evidence that showed she worked there. She trusted no one, not even her innocent students.

She walked through the forest towards her home. Her home was basic, but so was everything else in the small community that was still trying to build itself up. If things had stayed the way they were she would have been still in school herself. She was too young to teach but they needed all the help they could get and she was the only one who could be spared. Besides school was not for a future it was a distraction for the kids. They cannot spend their whole day learning to fight, without the chance of acting like children once in a while.

She unlocked her door, walked in and set aside all her folders. She went into her bedroom and removed the carpet and opened the entrance to her secret hideaway. The room was huge; she had all her weapons set up and her maps. She threw on her tight black pants and her black tank top along with dark brown boots.

She grabbed her knifes and put them in a socket on her pants and tied up her long brown hair in a ponytail. She took out her brown contacts she wore when teaching. Her deep blue eyes shining in the darkness. She proceeded to turn the small radio on and left the little lamp on to make it seem like she was home and sneaked out the back, jumped the fence and ran down the beaten forest track.

Once her home was out of sight she slowed to a walk. She walked with confidence and power, her mind was calm, and she sat on the forest floor closing her eyes, she blocked all noise out. Taking a few deep breaths she saw it, the dark ones who would not rest until she was killed heading straight towards her.

Willow sprang to her feet setting up a quick trap using rope to trip her enemy, she climbed a tree and waited for them.

Then she saw it, five Ninjas all in black, she knew who they were, they needed her dead. They could not risk her building an army of people who could fight like her. They were fast and skilful, so was she. She put the lighter on and threw it at the rope which she made sure had oil on it before leaving. It flew up in flame causing the five Ninjas to look around she jumped from the tree taking out the weakest two on her way down to the ground. She jumped over the fire the other three on her tail. However none would have predicted what happened next. Suddenly they were in a forest but it was not one any of them knew, it did not stop Aella from running. Aella was not one to run away but she knew she needed more time before she could kill the leader. She could not sense them chasing her but she did not stop until she was out of the forest. She had never seen this place before where was she? She kept on walking, she was not afraid.

She continued walking but when she felt someone watching her she turned around weapons in her hands. An arrow flew past her, she went into a summersault and avoided the arrow. Someone grabbed her from behind but she was expecting this and flipped her body getting away from the men. She glared at them with a slight smirk on her face.

The blonde guy asked, 'who are you?' and was glaring daggers at the woman.

The man with the dark hair slipped away to grab her from behind, but nothing he does goes unnoticed by Willow as she once again shows off her skills by flipping in the air and landing in the middle of the two men. She gives one final smirk and disappears. The two men looked around confusedly wondering where she had gone and how she had escaped.
