Climbing Mountians

Anna-Marie woke up with broken glass around her. She was bleeding profoundly and was her hair was coated in a pool of blood. Something happened but her head aches so much she tried not to remember. She slowly rose to find a school gym in total disarray.

"Hello,' she called. The was no answer but the sound of her own voice.

She tried again no answer. Something terrible must have happened. She noticed a broken tiara by her feet, She then noticed that she was dressed in a silver Grecian goddess dress. She must have been at prom but she had no collection of who she met or who her parents were. She walked down the steps outside where the cool air smacked her cheek. She then saw an old lady by the entrance of her school.

"Excuse me ma'am can you tell me where I am ?"

"Huh"

"Can you tell me where I am ?"

"I dunno. Liberty High School. I came to look for my granddaughter there were police and detectives everywhere I still cannot find her." Tears began to gather in the elderly woman's eyes as she broke down into heart wrenching sobs.

Anna-Marie held the old woman close to her and comforted her as she sobbed into her shoulder.After the old woman collected herself she spoke fiercely which was a sharp difference from he old frail tone earlier.

"I am Samaria trainer you look like the only person who is here I want you to track down whoever did this and bring back everyone here."

"Ma'am I don't even know who I was before this episode . How can I become I sword wielding chick if I don't a house ,family, or...or ...anything!"

The old woman was persistent and still ordered her to continue.

"I can teach you how to slice through a card 6 times in 2 seconds in just 1 week. You are the only one who's here. I think I know someone who can help you remember. There is an elderly couple called the Grand Master and the Grand Mistress they have a seeing crystal ball and can train you even farther than I can."

"Where is this Grand Master and Mistress?" Anna-Marie mused.

"Somewhere in the Himalayan mountains. There is a train that can take you about a mile to her house. The rest you must walk. It's not a huge distance and you will find a small town and their house is at the peak with a huge training facility. The house is very beautiful I hear and they are kind but disciplined couple."

"Ah, I see. Well , I will do it. I will find your granddaughter and I will find my family I promise."

Anna-Marie smiled and hugged the woman. She stayed with the woman at her house. There was a karate center used for training . The first day Anna-Marie walked in to find a bow and sets of arrows the same color as her dress. There was a beautiful red sword with gold japanese letters.

"Ma'am what does that say?"

"Kind Lady Princess. You are a kind lady and you are a princess"

Not knowing what to say Anna-Marie blushed and turned away.

"We must begin our training" The old lady smiled as Anna-Marie spoke these words.

"I see why I chose you. You are very disciplined let's train."

It was very hard but she sliced the dummie's head with surprising accuracy.She went through many targets with her bow and arrow. This went on for 5 hours. Anna-Marie was emotionally and physically exhausted. Not knowing what she was doing she hacked off a slice of hair and cut her arm.Red-blood dripped.

"Watch it. Anna. That sword is not some thing you should be swinging around like a toy. You can cut someone's head off:'

"But I don't want to kill anyone."

"Of course not you will not. It is to protect yourself and others."

Anna-Marie had looked at her bow. In silver blue letters was her name is Japanese.

"This journey was for you even if you don't know it . There is no one else but you. You have strength , stamina, and discipline. You knew how to use a sword with skill that takes beginners two weeks. Of couse you will need improvement.There is always room to improve."

Anna-Marie bowed to the old lady, she needed to train. That night in her bed Anna-Marie heard voices that were vaguely familiar.

"Help us Anna. We know you can do it baby girl."

She couldn't back down not now. Not ever.
