She was always a troublemaker. From stealing fruit from the corner market to getting in fights for gold. But she did it for a cause. She needed to keep her family alive. Her mother was ill of disease, which meant having to cook and feed her 3 siblings. And her father worked in the mines south of the town she was living in so she never really saw him.

But one day she was sneaking through the stalls at the market and she saw 3 castle guards go into her home so she followed.

As she walked in she slipped into the shadows. "Where are you hiding them?" one of the guards asked. "We are not hid-" "Alright woman! We are going to torture your children until you tell us where your hiding the Queen and her party!" She heard a choking noise and realized it was my youngest brother Zeke. "Now if you don't want this kid to die you will tell us where they are!" "I don't know!" she screamed. Crack... THUMP. "Next one" Unseen knew her family would be gone that day. The same Crack.... THUMP happened until there was just the guards and me in the room.

She heard the door open and prayed it wasn't her father. But she heard his voice "Honey I got o-". He backed up towards the kitchen to grab a knife but he was too slow. The guard slit his throat and he fell to the ground right in front of her.

Once the guards left the house she bolted towards the woods and didn't stop running until she heard clashing of steel. Luckily she had her daggers on her so she could cut her anger away.She saw the target and attacked slicing his head off. "Hi, I'm Unseen she said.
