As the pirate turned the corner her thought he lost the assassin along the way as he looked back from the dark alleyway, but when he turned to go deeper he came face to face with a smiling princess assassin. With one quick motion she whipped out her knife and dug it into the man's arm and her other hand held him against the wall, the man screeched.
"Now tell me pirate what do you know about the eco assassins and the sage princes and princesses?" She asked in a firm voice.
"I will never talk, whore!" The man angrily spat.
Keira only responded by digging the knife deeper and slashing his face ignoring the man's pleads. "How about now?" Keira asked.
"Okay o o okay. The assassin's have one leader with a council in the lost city of Hope, she fights in a similar w whey a a as you bu but you are stronger and more s sk skilled. The ancient leader and council live forever. Year's ago she the leader gave birth to the last born a assa assassin in a village, but the child wouldn't have a choice to transform into an assassin for her father was a sage so he took her away, but the child was not an accident. The leader of the assassins created her to be a weapon knowing she would transform into a heartless killer, the most dangerous cold blooded killer on in the universe, not even the precursors themselves could stop her. But the world believes the child has time traveled to this time and will or has already transformed into an assassin." The man could hardly speak.
"What does this leader look like?" Keira asked, but she was sure she already knew the truth. "She has hair like yours and eyes like yours." "And what of this child how old would she be if she time traveled?"
"Seventeen." Keira was not surprised as she let the man fall to the ground in pain and jabbed a knife into his heart and then she quickly vanished into the shadows.
Keira sat by a cliff in the edge of desert in the most deserted place and slowly eased her mind so that she could remember the early years of her bad side of childhood, her secrets.
(flashback)
I'm walking in the forbidden jungle, even though I'm not supposed to be my father was on a study trip with the other sages.
I was only 9, and lately I been feeling like causing trouble, I had just gotten out of a fight with Zeon, a troublemaking brat of a village boy, one punch and it was all over. The sad thing for him is that all he did was say he liked me. Suddenly a man jumps out of a dark bush and grabs me. The man had scruffy red hair and a lush's look in his eye when he saw me, with a strange moon shaped scar over of his left eye.
I fought and screamed as he pulled me deep in the dangerous jungle.
A few minutes later he pulled me to an area with more men next to a large rickety shack like building and a huge, deep, dark pool of dark eco. "Dani what is this? Who the hell is she?" A tall white man with scars going across his shoulder and sandy hair asked.
"I don't know I found her by the village, I think she could be of use to us." "You can't mean Abdul De Mal training?"
"Of course what else are we going to do with her?" He asked with a sly grin on his ugly, scared face. "That training has never worked it has always failed with everyone, even the villages best." "Well I still think this one could be of use, look at her hair and pretty eyes."
"Alright, alright if you insist I still think she is the one, even though I don't think she is, put her in the shack and give her room. Her training begins tomorrow and we discuss it tonight." The red haired man, Dani couldn't hide his wide grin as he led me to the shack and clicked the lock shut.
'Oh wonderful what in precursor's name had I gotten myself into?' Was what I was thinking to myself all night as I scanned the bare room, all it had was a pathetic excuse of a bed. My fist night was miserable it was unbelievably cold that night.
"Rise and shine child." Came Dani's voice.
I opened my eyes too see him by the bed. As soon as I sat up he dragged me outside and pointed towards a cage with a blanket on it. One man removed the blanket to revile a tiny dark sleeping muse that had been corrupted with dark eco.
I gasped. He chuckled and put a blind over my eyes as he led me deeper into the forest ignoring my desperate struggles.
Half an hour later he removed the blind fold and said.
"Look kid you have to find your way back to camp before dark or this kills you which ever comes first." He opened a bag on his shoulder and the dark must jumped out.
"No way!" I screamed. He chuckled in response and said. "Looks like you don't have a choice." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue capsule and tossed it on the ground. A huge cloud of blue Eco covered the area and I felt myself speed up as I looked for Dani who was already gone.
"Crud." I mutter to myself as I begin to run back to camp in the direction I hoped was right.
A few minutes later I managed to get away from the dark must that tried to kill me and get back to camp. All of the men gasped when they saw me.
All of a sudden Dani grabbed me and dragged me into the shack and left. Why was this man always so upset? Hell if I knew.
This continued for a month each day it got more challenging to stay alive, until one day I groaned as I heard the door to my room open and Dani walk in. Here we go again I thought miserably as I prepared for a fight, but Dani grabbed me and led me out to the open.
I looked up to see the amazing stars over head, over the past month I had not seen the stars or the sunlight. Dani led me to the bubbling pool of dark eco, suddenly lightning struck and my head snapped up to see that the stars had disappeared and it was now raining as drops of the sweet liquid drizzled down my face the men were all standing around the pool of eco.
"Dani I certainly hope this works or we will have another failure!" The man snapped angrily, several of the men laughed.
"Relax my friend, this child was persistent, a fighter, she never cracked, I have confidence she can live."
"Well then throw her into the dark eco, it she lives the training will be a successes, if she lives, well we will have to discuss that matter it she lives. But it is very unlikely with all the failures."
"Well we will see won't we?" Dani asked as he stood at the edge of the pool, I had never seen dark eco bubble and fizz.
Suddenly Dani yanked my hair and threw me in the dark liquid. For the first time in a month I felt nothing at all but that was only temporary as I felt the eco running through my body, healing me, changing me. When I looked down at myself I realized that there were no more scratches from running through the jungle. If didn't take long for me to shoot up from the top from lack of oxygen.
The men all glared at me when I emerged from the pool.
"Well, well Dani it seems your favorite has survived, now what to do with her?" He asked thoughtfully.
"I have an idea, and kid if you tell a soul about what happened here I promise your daddy will pay the price, and if anyone is to ask you say you got lost in the jungle, now go!" Quickly I stumbled through the men and onto the jungle trail, making my way back to the village.
After five years of heaven I looked down at myself and thought about the events of the years, the village had been glad I was alright and seemed to by the story of me getting lost. In the daytime I would have so much fun with Jak, running through the fields, swimming.
The only bad part was that he kept a strangely particular eye on me, like he didn't believe I had been lost, like he saw right through my lies. But that wasn't true, I was a wonderful liar and actress, I always wore a strong face and acted my whole life so far like nothing happened, like I was an emotional mechanic with a perfect life, but that was a lie.
Most nights I would sneak out of the village with at midnight and meet Jak on the beach, splashing in the water and running barefoot in the sand with the stars over our heads, these were secrets we had that nobody knew.
Keira shot up, sweat covered her face.
"Fuck." I whispered as I let the memories sink in.
God how I hated those men. Suddenly I felt a jolt come through my body. Something told me I was being watched from a distance, someone with the power to see all the way from Haven to watch me and my thoughts, I could only think of two people. Odin and my father.
Oh god how I hoped they hadn't seen my flashback. But then again everything always has to end badly for me and I felt their energy, so they probably saw it, and they probably showed the gang, and this is probably the part where Tess gasps.
"I swear to the precursors, Mar hates me and somewhere Karma is laughing and beating the living shit out of me." I said sarcastically to myself.
Then my thoughts wander to Dani. I wasn't going to let him or his friends get away with what they did, it they were still alive.
'Oh yeah, revenge that's nice but how the hell am I going to find him? Or get Odin and my father out of my head? Okay first step, we block Odin out. If Pacci is right about everything I can do I can block Odin out.' I kept thinking to myself as I slowly rose up from my sitting position. I looked down at the steep cliff that leads down to more sand.
'Well to find this son of bitches I'm going to have to trust my instincts.' I thought as looked down the cliff one last time before fought Odin out of mind and sprang off the cliff. 'Yes!' I could feel Odin and my father disappear from my mind.
Thanks for all that reviwed! I'm going on a trip and can't take my laptop so I'll update tomorrow before I leave for a month! Thanks again. Review and tell me how I did!
