I slow drag myself up with what felt like noodles for arms, still heavily huffing and covered in sweat.

"Ohoho! Told you!"

"Shut..*huff*...up...*huff*... I'm like... 50 years... Younger...*huff*... Than you..."

"That's no excuse whippersnapper!"

This guy is really pushing my buttons, and not in a good way...

I sit up on my pretty sore ass from falling over and over, then he begins to walk towards the gate while chuckling. Damn... I hate cocky bastards like him...

Just as I was about to strangle him, I see him take a huge breath before slamming his hands on the gate, moments later, the door then shoots open..!

Slamming the walls of the other doors before the doors then begin to close on their own. I stare at the old man with my eyes out and open.

"W-what?!"

"Not so tough now are ya?"

I can feel the anger bubble inside of me as he chuckles at the strength difference between us, I never was good at controlling my anger, but thinking about that girl and how this might be my only way to get to her...

I begin to take slow, smooth breaths and I immediately begin to calm down.. Why do I feel so connected to her anyway..?

Wasn't my original goal just to find my parents..?

Why did she suddenly become my biggest motive?

It was just a dream... Right? There's no way some princess would be interested in me...

Beginning to become lost and spacing out, I feel something grab my shoulder and begin to shake me lightly. To my "surprise", it's the old man, still laughing at me...

I pretend to give up on my anger and sit on my knees while bowing from my position but, I can't let go of the bottled angst and I'm secretly plotting to kill this crust....

I hate being mocked... Even if it was by a stupid rabbit, I'd still be super pissed. Why? I get it from my unbearable mom...

I slowly get up and ask what I could do to become strong enough to hold the gate open enough to go through..

"You'll need one of these, first of all."

He throws me this vest, but of course it's not a normal vest...

"Why is it heavier than a normal vest? How much does this thing weigh anyway?"

"50 kilograms"

"In English old man..."

"110.231 pounds"

"Soooo, around 110 pounds, even-ish..."

I put on the vest and to my surprise, it's so much lighter than I expected..!

"Huh"

"Hm?"

"It's so light!"

"W-what?"

"I said, it's light."

"Yes, I heard you but... How can it be light to you? Judging by your height and the way you look, there's no way you're over 100 pounds."

"You're right, I'm not. That doesn't mean I can't pick up more than my own weight old man!"

I have a pretty cocky smirk plastered on my face as I realize and understand how to get under his skin, I may like this.. Being able to piss him off just easily as he did to me...

"Training begins.. Now! 'Drop and give me 2000 push-ups!"

"M'kay"

I just shrug at his order and immediately begin to do push-ups..

If THIS is the training then I'm going to breeze through!

Raising myself in the forest is going to pay off!

It has been around 15 hours since I broke my shackles. I'm still breathing irregularly since the aftermath of the shattered bones is still stinging as my blood is turning into scabs.

I slowly and shakily try to stay in line with my injuries as I carefully lift up the cloth from each broken piece of me. I didn't bond my scars and they weren't vital to my blood loss, therefore I wouldn't bother cutting cloth for them.

I slowly raise my head as I feel the warm sun's light, brush against my cold, dusty skin...

It feels amazing.. To feel this sense of warmth and security rather than the infamous fear my family has brought apon me...

I close my eyes and I can feel a small smile creep up on me as my cell has the one moment of sunshine before I hear one of the guards come and I jolt back into reality.

'Crap! If they see my chains unattached, they're going to kill me!'

Was all I could think about before realizing that I could fake it... My odds of success are at about..

40/60...

Hmm... I have to take those odds.. I've already come so far! I'm not letting them thin my one chance to feel happy again...

I limp over to the back wall where my chain were and slowly connect the chains with the broken ones so it would look as if I'm still "in".

"Kira"

"H-hai?"

"Your mother has orders of you for tomorrow morning, make sure you're in capable enough shape to fit those orders"

"Hai!"

I nod my head but on the inside my heart is racing, these are professional guards and butlers, top class and triple star! The highest rank someone could hold.

I can feel cold sweat drop over my as they just stand there... Staring at my wrists and ankles, seeing as they're completely destroyed, they ask and I can feel my heart, practically beating right out of my chest as I respond..

"Kira"

"H-hai?"

"What happened"

"Hm?"

"To your wrists and ankles! Don't play stupid with us little girl!"

"O-oh! I-I'm sorry! They gotten injured so I tried to wrap my clothes to prevent infection!"

I was telling the truth but, I could never tell them how... I hated to do this but.. I have to lie..

"How"

"O-oh, a couple Ravens had made their way through the window and had began to attack... You, knowing how weak I am when it comes to physical ability, can surely understand.."

They squint their eyes at me, I can tell the first emotion they felt was disbelief but... Here I am.. Stuck against the wall..

Please let her get to me before they can...
