I had trained for 8 hours yesterday and I was sore everywhere. I even have a scar to prove it the same girl showed up at the door again but this time I was already ready.

"Well you got the hang of things quickly." she said leaning against the doorway.

I grabbed my sword and dagger then head down to the training hall with her "So what is your name?" I asked wondering when I can stop adressing her as girl.

"Rivka Renae and my Alias is Devils claw." She said smiling.

I jumped back. I had heard stories of the devils claw a brutal Assassin whom people paid to get information out of other people. She had alo tried to kill me once "I am not to fond of people who have tried to kill me before." I said

She laughed "Nothing personal, you probably just got in my way." She said.

I crossed my arms "How many Assassins are here that will make me want to crawl into a hole and stay there for eternity?" I asked as she doubled over laughing.

"27 famous ones and 35 not famous ones." She said as she turned and started walking to the training hall as I chased after her.

"Your only like 11, how does an 11 year old become a feared Assassin." I asked horrified that they would make me one.

"Well being trained by the king of assassins does wonders to anyones technique and we do what we're trained to do nothing else." she explained.

"Can you explain to me how that works? I would real-" I was cut off when I stumbled into a boy walking out and fell down, landing on my butt. Rivka to her joy snickered.

"I suggest you get up before Arobynn walks out in about 4 seconds." The boy said as I jumped to my feet.

"Oh give her a break Sam." Rivka said as Arobynn walked out.

"I suggest you all finish your break and go train." Arobynn said crossing his arms.

Sam roled his eyes "Of course 'dad'." he said over pronouncing that word then walking into the training hall dragging me and Rivka behind him.

"Let go of me you Oaf!" I yelled at him but he didn't budge. I looked over at Rivka and she just sighed and handed me her dagger, I took the blade and cut the boys wrist causing him to let go then yell at me.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" He cursed.

I crossed my arms "Tempermental boy issues," I muttered "Now go do whatever it is you were going to do without me." I said then scampered away. I walked over to Rueben "Want to duel?" I asked and as he turned around I gasped when I saw a bruise along his jaw line.

"Yes I do. I woud watch your back though." The moment he said that I felt a breath on my neck.

I didn't now any real combat moves so I just used my flexibility to my advantage. I dropped on my knees and summer saulted backwards kicking Arobynn in the crotch "Crap," I muttered since I didn't know it was him at first.

He didn't react but I could tell I hurt him "Uhhh... Sorry..." I said quietly.

"You can say many things to me but sorry is not one of them. Nice kick though." He said in his same dead tone as always.

I smiled, kind of proud of myself.
