The Castle that Changed my life

Prologue

Some villagers were standing in front of a couple, a woman and a man. The woman was holding a baby, clutching to the child in protection. An argument was going on. Screaming could be heard.

"You have given birth to a shapeshifter, a witch!" snapped a villager.

"She is no witch!" snapped another man, a woman standing behind him with a baby in his arm.

"She is my child! She is normal like all other children!" snapped the woman.

"Why are you even here! You are not needed anymore" growled another villager.

"We are here just in case, what if the kingdom falls, who is to protect the village?" Asked more calmly the man.

"Mr. Target the kingdom will fall if you let that witch grow" growled a villager.

"She is no witch, she is a normal child" snapped Mrs. Target.

"Do not get in this woman!" snapped a villager.

"DO NOT TALK TO MY WIFE LIKE THAT!" snapped Mr. Target

"What is going on in here!" snapped a guard.

"A-"

"They have accused my child of being a witch, she was born normally like any other child, and has cried like any other child" Mr. Target snapped, the guard immediately glared at the villagers.

Luckily the target family was wealthy so the royal family normally helped them more than they would help other people. Even though everything was fairer now things were still kind of unfair, for example, if you were poor people wouldn't get much attention or help while if you were rich you would get more attention and help.

Target's child started growing, she learned to do things pretty quickly. Her parents knew she was a shapeshifter so they taught her how to use her powers, after all her grandma was a shapeshifter. Killer learned how to shapeshift. The only thing was that since she wasn't full blood she had limited time and shapes she could shapeshift too.

For example, she could only shapeshift into other people and animals smaller than her. The smaller the better. If she shapeshifted into other humans or animals that were taller or bigger than her she could only do it for around 1 to 2 or 4 hours. When the person or animal was smaller than her or had less mass than her, she could easily and for around 10 hours turn into them.

"Killer" Mrs. Target called.

"Yes, mother?" Killer asked as she walked over to her mother.

"Come, we got a surprise for you!" Mrs. Target smiled, she grabbed the 10-year-old hand and brought her outside.

There, a man was standing with a five-year-old standing next to him.

"Met Grey, your slave," said the strange man. The child next to him trembled in fear. "The money," the man simply said.

Mrs. Target walked forward and gave a small bag of money to the man, the man smiled satisfied. Glared at the child, looked at Killer and smiled, and finally left. Mrs.Target waited before slowly walking over to the child.

"Relax Grey, come with me" Mrs. Target smiled. Grey trembled a bit but smiled and walked over to her, Killer's mother gave him an apple and welcomed him inside. When he finished eating the apple Mrs. Target gave him a bath and new clothes.

Killer finally had some alone time with the child, she curiously stared at him, he stared back. The killer was never one who liked to talk, only if necessary. It's not like a man from the village even heard her when she talked, mostly ignoring her and acting like she was nothing.

"Killer, meet your new brother" smiled Mrs. Target.

Poor Mrs. and Mr. Target had tried having a child, they wanted Killer to have a baby brother or sister but they failed for a long time. When Mrs. Target finally was able to get pregnant, five months after the child died. In pain and sadness she decided to adopt a child, she decided she would find one.

Mrs. Target still couldn't pass the death of her baby but at least she started smiling again.

Grey and Killer grew to be very close. Grey was actually very beautiful if you thought of it, how he became a slave no one knew and no one really cared. He had a better life now, so it was better to forget he was a slave. Grey had two black markings, they came from his neck and his cheek. They went from black to grey and back to black color. In the dark, they glowed a bright color, but only Grey allowed them to. He also had a lot of freckles.

Killer on the other hand, like her mother, had a very dark hair color. Her hair was a natural black, very rare, with red stripes in the end. It was shocking but beautiful.

Normally she got complimented by it and got a lot of attention so she started using hoodies or capes when going to the village to help her father sell things. Killer too had started learning the old ways of the target family. She started learning to aim with knives and fight, she learned how to run quickly and without making any sound... After all, if the kingdom fell she would be there to protect her people.

I forgot to add that I will be asking random questions (just for fun, you don't have to answer them).

Question fo the day!

What's the best Wi-Fi name you've seen/created?

And the prologue has finally been posted! I might do a few drawings of the characters afterward so you get a better visual point of how they look. Please know I have full ownership over Grey, he is one of my OC's. You may use him in your story's only if you ask politely!

I will be posting the next chapter in a few minutes.
