The throne of lies

Lieutenant E Hemley

Hemley

She took out the piece of paper. Every shot but one was a bulls eye. "Woah Hemley" A private said.

She stared at the piece and scrunched it up. She put it in the bin. She sighed "It's not good enough"

"Hemley your too obsessed. That was great you don't need to shoot again"

"Can it! If one bullet meant dying or winning for you country I'll prepare as much as I can!"

The private left.

She flicked her light purple hair out of her eyes. Hemley had no intention of going to the front line the truth is she liked the stress relief shooting gave. The gun gave her power. However there was a opening in her regiment to guard royalty. She didn't really care about king and country but if it meant getting off the front line. She had to train. If she trained they'd want her to guard.

Later in the Mess hall. Hemley stared at the notice board. The flyer read: 'Looking for First, Second lieutenants or lieutenants willing to guard members of the royal family. No higher than Lieutenant and no lower than Second lieutenants. All will be individually assessed then with a partner. Good luck to all'

Hemley stared at the bottom of the flyer. Tickets with ID numbers were in a small plastic wallet. Thumb tacked to the flyer. Henley took out a ticket it was pink. A grey haired man took a ticket as well. Hemley swore she recognised him. "Hello Lieutenant Hemley"

Crap he recognised her.

He laughed "Don't worry about recognising me. I'm Lieutenant Johans" He held out a hand.

Hemley shook it.

"So do you have a partner?"

That had been completely over looked by Hemley. "Erm no"

"Me neither. Do you. You know. Wanna?"

Henley stared at him he was kinda cute the way he stuttered.

"Sure I'll be your partner"

Johans smiled.

They were given the job on the spot. Johans was a master at sword combat and Hemley with her pistol. The two could work really well together. They heard in other regiments you were specially selected so there was two others. This is only the first part of another story.

Side note: I'm so excited to kick off the story with back stories! Also a Mess Hall is a place were people eat. Second lieutenant is the lowest out of the list I gave then it's First lieutenant then lieutenant is the highest. Also I'm listening to Panic at the disco while writing this so expect loads more chapters :)
