[On Hold] The Assassin's New Beginning

1

        She ran as far as her legs could carry her. Her once white satin sleeping gown was stained with blood. Her hair was matted with sweat and her bare feet ached from running through the rough terrain.

        She woke up in her parents' bed to find them killed. The dampness of the sheets didn't turn out to be rain afterall. But she wasn't dead. And the assassin sent to kill them will soon find out, and be back for her.

        She should have taken some time to think, but instead, she ran straight out the door, not taking any food or belongings with her. She began to regret it after her legs were sore from the run. She slid down against a large maple tree and began to catch her breath.

        Finally the picture came to her; her parents were dead and she had nowhere to go. Her bright blue eyes began to brim with tears. She lost everything. All she had was gone. She was no longer that happy girl who lived in luxury and had parents who loved her dearly. It seems as if all her hope had been sucked out of her.

        But then she noticed, she still had her name. Her identity was still within her. But with an assasin chasing her down and everyone thinking she's dead, she couldn't use it anymore. No, she must keep it a secret from others. She needs a new name..... but what?
