Anna's POV

Cross my heart……..

I looked out into the open. No sign of them. Getting up, I squinted through the bushes, seeing not another soul. I came out of my hiding place.

Hope to die………..

An arrow shot a tree not a foot away from me. Then, I knew that they had found me. I ran among the creek, creeping behind bushes.

Another arrow shot past me. Seeing the night sky, I prayed that I would see sunlight again.

So I can touch the evening sky…………

Two men appeared before me. They seemed to bear wicked fangs, glistening in the moonlight.

Leaves around us were picked up by the wind, and the drifted past us.

The leaves scatter in the wind………..

They drew out two long poles. I drew my own.

Why can't I?

We clashed together I imediatley recognized the two men. How many times had I walked this same path, with these two, back when we were all friends? There was nothing in the world that could've bothered us.

Cross my heart……

But they had betrayed me, my friends, and my family. They never called my true name anymore, Anna Kyoyama. I was refered to as the she devil, the scourge of god, and as a poison to this land.

Hope to die………..

I had made friends with the the daughter of the man who slaughtered our village, who called us scum, and drove us into hiding. The daughter warned me, but I was too convinced that she didn't to do with anything with her father's crimes. Just to be careful, we always kept hidden, referring to our friendship as forbidden.

Everlasting lies………..

But then, the truth was revealed. She was a spy for her father. She was a reclutant spy, but still one. How did I find out? I caught her. She was a scared, pale girl that was sneaking near our camp tents, listening to every word that we said, trying to gather information about our counter attacks, and reporting back to her father.

They wind their way……….

I found her right outside my tent, wondering why there was non one there. She was right near the opening of my tent.

Across the sky…………
