A couple hours had passed and we decided that this was a good place to set up camp for the night. It was nice to a river so we could catch some fish and have water.
I set up my tent and looked to Freya who was having a bit of trouble. I chuckled lightly and walked over to help her. She looked at me and smiled some.
I got her tent up and we started trying to catch some fish. We sat on the bank with our poles. She looked at me again as if she is wanting me to speak. I sighed.
"You want to know what's going on?"
She nodded.
I put my pole down and took a deep breath.
"My name really is Aleah. I really do run a weapons shop. But it's not my full time job. I'm an assassin." Freya nodded more, staying quiet.
I continued "I work for an organization called The Council, they specialize in assassinations... well, I basically grew up there. My father worked for them. He was assigned to kill my mother and I... he killed my mother but he couldn't kill me... I was no older than 3..."
Freya's expression became horrified. I could only imagine what she is thinking... I continued.
"He brought me to The Council and begged and pleaded with them to take me and raise me to be their 'Secret Weapon'... and they did. They let my father move to another area and continue their work... How I wish he would have just killed me..."
She placed a hand on my shoulder but I shook my head, I wanted to tell her.
"If you disobey The Council... they take over your mind... they make you do even more horrible things than what we do already... killing whole towns... torture... it's terrible... I've watched people turn into these... these zombies.." I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged them "and I've disobeyed an order... so now they're after me... and you... if they were to find you alone.. without me there... they would kill you... and then have me kill your family as they mourned..." I bit my bottom lip a little. I watched as Freya's ears flattened to her head.
I reached up and patter her head "it's not going to happen... not as long as I have my sanity.." I assured her. She seemed to calm down a little and relax her posture.
"So..." she spoke, "what now..?"
"Now? I'm going to find and kill every leader of The Council, I want to free all of those poor souls that are stuck in their binds... just like me..."
Freya nodded "I want to help... teach me more with my dagger!"
I looked at her, a little shocked "are you sure, Princess...? I mean... I tried to kill you... twice.."
Freya nodded, that normal sparkle in her eyes "i want to help!!"
I chuckled and pay her head more "alright. We train at Dawn"
She smiled happily and nodded.
I was surprised she didn't ask why I didn't actually kill her, I guess it's better she didn't though... because I really don't know...
