ch. 3

I stood in the door way of the room after Arobynn left.

"You look familiar.." the boy named Sting looked at me curiously.

"Im not sure what you mean." I replied looking at the ground.

"Maybe its the eyes..." he trailed off. "Nah. You can't be her. She's in the castle."

"Who?" my head tilted to the side curiously.

"The princess of course."

"Oh."

"Ah forget it. Come on. Lets go." sting got off of the couch and walked past me.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"To show you around. You already seen the living room. Come on. Lets go. I have a job to get to." he said annoyed.

"Ah! Ok!"

I ran to catch up with him

"Ill show you where you'll start training first."

Sting opened a door that lead down to a basement.

The way down was brightly light by lanterns. But as soon as we got to the bottom, the light was very dim.

"Why is it so dark down here?" I asked clinging to Stings arm.

"Arobynn said that it helps us heighten our senses if we train in the dark. After all. We are assassins trained to kill in nothing but moonlight." he replied.

"Oh. I guess that makes sense." I nodded.

The room was full of stuff. Dummies, targets, and array of weapons on a table as well as hay bails.

"Why are there hay bails down here?"

"We throw them around to get stronger. It weighs about the same as a grown man."

"And you can throw it!?" I asked in awe.

"Ya. Wanna see!?" Sting asked with a big smile on his face.

I nodded with eagerness.

He walked over to one and grabbed the ropes keeping it together. Suddenly he picks it up and tosses it half way across the room.

"Wow!! Amazing! " I smiled and clapped.

"I know." Sting said cockily.

"I wanna try!"

I ran to the hay bale and grabbed the ropes just like Sting. And I swung my body to one side and fell over

"Not strong enough." I sigh.

"Come on. We gotta finish the house tour." sting said walking to the stairs.

"Wait up!" I stood up and ran to him. "Can I ask you something sting?"

"Sure. What's up?"

"Why did you chose to become an assassin? "

"Hmm. I don't know. Just chose to." he nodded as if trying to convince him self of what has saying.

"Oh."

Soon the tour was done. He showed me the kitchen, the prison, the bedrooms, the courtyard and the dining hall.

"Well I got to go now. See ya Y-N." Sting said and went off to do his mission.

"Bye Sting!" I said.

I smiled slightly while walking up the stairs back to my room. I walked in to see Arobynn sitting on my bed.

"Y-N. I have a mission for you. I know that you're not yet trained. But it is a job for someone like you."
