I run.
I'm 15 and I run because I'm scared, scared of them, of what they will do if they catch me, and of what I've started. I'm Keurnan and I have to run from my own parents, if I'm caught I could spend hours,days,or even weeks in the place I call home. It all started with school. In my village if you are a girl it is frowned upon to be taught to fight. I followed my friend to his classes one day. I watched for hours as they trained and sparred. I was soon discovered. It was Dan, the son of the instructor, who needed to get supplies from the storage room with the wall of one-way glass where I watched. He spotted me immediately and told his father. Bann,the instructor, is a kind and strict man and he started to teach me along with my friend at special night sessions. I learned fast. Within the year I knew as much as a boy in his fifth year of training. My parents found out when I was sixteen. So now...I run.
