My name is Diana Tharn, and I have been introduced into journaling, just as my younger sister, Helena, does. So, today, I wake up and got ready to go for my training. My sister and I are training to become assassins, like Jacob and Evie Frye. Me and my sisters are just like them, expect we aren't twins and one of us isn't a boy. My sister is three years younger than me, and she's 13. I'm going to be 16 soon, on November 18. As me and my sister were leaving, my father decided to come with us. "Father, why are you walking with us today? Did something happen?" "Yes dear, this morning, there's a rumor of sorts and I was worried about your safety." "Oh, can you tell us what's wrong?" "No, I'm afraid not." He said, sighing in between the 'no' and 'I'm afraid'. Of course at the time we hadn't heard of the death of Mary Jane Kelly. Rumors say she was mutilated, is the 5th victim of Jack the Ripper, and was a prostitute, this being the reason father walked with us.

When we arrived, most of the other girls and boy were talking to. Most gossiping about how Mary was a prostitute and her being a whore, while the boys were pushing around acting like how they think Jack the Ripper goes about. Like always, my little sister walks toward her friend, my friend, Josephine, ran over to talk to me. " Hey, did you hear what happened?" "You mean the murder, right? Of course, my father was so worried, he even walked us here." "Oh, that's your father?" Josephine said, with much lust in her voice, " Josie! That's my dad! You can't think of him like that, since you might be marrying my stepbrother." I said, in a annoyingly playful voice. " Oh stop it! I like him but I won't marry him." " That's what your head says, not your heart." " Okay ladies and gents, time for practice so go to you courses, and we'll be starting!" The desk keeper, Mr. Bell says. Josie then grabs her uniform and runs to the ladies room. I walk in after her and walk up towards a mirror. I study myself in the mirror. Red hair that's been pinned up into an updo, dark green eyes, and a nice small face with freckles everywhere. My new uniform color, which is purple. Our uniforms are colored based on age. Since I'm 15 about to be 16, I had to get a new uniform that more fitted and looks better. My hooded coat is a dark velvety purple, with trim of black. My user shirt and pants are both black with dark gray stripes on them. I fix the collar and my lovely heeled boots, that are made to be like Evie Fryes' boots. "Wow Miss Showgirl, you like nice!" Josie says, taking me be surprise and hugging me. " Thanks, but be careful. I've missed up my other uniforms, so I'm trying to keep this one nice." " Really? Well, be extra careful today, I heard the training is hard today." We walk out of the room and through the small corridor and out side towards the girls course. "Oh, Miss Tharn and Miss Curdy have finally joined us." " We're sorry Mrs. Brooks." " It's quit fine. Just hurry and join the rest of the class."

We walk over and stand in our spots. "Okay, today we have a lot of work to girls! As you see, the building we usually practice in is no longer empty. You all, including the boys, are to get through the building, without alerting any of the 'guards' and 'eliminate' the enemy. Be careful. Up first are Miss Diana Tharn and Mr. James Abbott. I'll count down with 3 seconds." Oh gosh, of course she had to pair me with a boy I hate. " 3, 2, 1, Go!" I take of before James and make my way through the streets. I get to the door and open and close it as quietly as possible. I check to see if me gauntlet is working and it is. There is an actual blade there now, before there was a blade that was rounded at the tip to keep from hurting whoms self. I peek into the room next to me and check to see if anyone is there. Two men, with muskets in hand walking around. I sneak in and hide behind a couch and wait for one the guard to walk past....
