Viper Chpt.1

I was running. Running as fast as I could for I knew that if I got caught I would be executed. My name is Viper. I am part of the Shadow assassins clan. I had just assassinated the king of Pamane and now I'm wanted for over 70, 000 coins. I'm wanted throughout the world and I am a well known asaasin.

      Ever since I was 6 I was trained hand to hand combat.My father, Zyan , had raised me to become a member of this clan. I never had the decision to choose my fate because I have been cursed.The black mark that runs across my forehead shows the decided destiny I have.

My life can never be made the way "I" wanted it to be, but, I have a drive. A drive that has been raging through me all my life, the drive that makes you wanna push everything out of your way to accomplish what needs to be done.The drive that is a fire burning inside my soul.This drive is to release the curse, so that I can be my own person and allow myself to choose what "my" fate will be. For I want to be free and if it means dying then so be it. I never enjoyed this world for I have been impersonated the most intimidating assassin. No one ever gave two damns about me so why should I care for them. Welcome to my world and the living Hell I go through.

        I was panting,not because I felt like it but because these Pamane guards will not stop chasing me. Now even though I could've taken them on  because there were only 5, I do not plan on risking an injury. As soon as I said that all I heard was a crumbling noise as if someone was crunching up leaves in their hand . I could not hear the guards anymore but I desperately wanted to know what that sound is. Then a memory came to my head, I was walking in the forest when I heard this sound and I remember that .... Oh! No! I leaped towards the side and sure enough I was correct. This was a trap used for hunting big game, it is a wide hole that opens when presurre is applied on boards above it. It's only a 4 foot drop but the worst part about this trap is at the bottom there is a pit of very rusty spikes. I inhaled deeply twice before I could return to my normal breathing. That was close I mumbled to myself.

          I need to find shelter and sure enough as soon as I said that I spotted a little hut. I wonder if it is  abandoned or is it hostile? I jumped on a branch sticking out of a tree and then pretty soon I was jumping branch to branch. On the last branch I swung my way to the roof of the hut and flipped. There was a window on the roof, so I looked through it and saw a young man. I was debating wether or not I should kill this man but something told me not to so I didn't. I jumped and landed through the window of the roof and startled the man. As soon as I went to confront him he went on his knees and pleaded me to not kill him. "Young man, I do not plan on killing you I came here to ask if I could stay here for the night?"I said .The young man replied very quickly and said,"Sure.Sure you can stay here...Viper.I know you, you have recently killed King Charles the Third of Pamane." I stood in shock wondering how did this flimsy man know I assassinated the king? I had told the man that if he told anyone I would slit his throat, so, sure enough he kept quiet. He led me to a guest room upstairs in his hut . There was a bathroom, a bed, night dresser, and a very well organized Bookcase with probably over 200 books. I became very tired very fast so I closed my eyes and dreamt.
