"I got held at gunpoint down there." Finn tells us, in a dried out voice. "I'm not sure if you noticed. The whole time I was just thinking about what would happen if I died. Who would remember me? And I thought about how expendable I was, y'know? How in old paintings they show a war hero surrounded by dead bodies, and how I always thought that I was that hero, but really, I could be one of those bodies. I could just be another digit added to the casualties." "Even if you end up like that, you died for something, right?" I lean back further against the wall, the places where the railing for the stairs dug into my back stinging. "Dying for something is better than living for nothing." When she was four years old, Penny summers was moved to a small home in England under the witness protection program. But after she witnesses the murder of the prime minister of Canada during a vacation, she is taken in by a government agent, Wesley Fletcher. It's not until she meets Juliet, a young girl with a similar story, that she feels real family again, but the two are torn apart just as they begin to understand each other.

Two figures walked up to the house and stopped in front of the fence. Scarlett shuffled closer to the figures to be able to hear what they were saying. She didn't know who they were, but if they lived in that mansion they were probably rich. And if they were rich that meant they'd have money. Money to pay debts. She hid behind a large trashcan and spied on the figures. It was a boy and a girl; with the girl in a wheelchair. And luckily, she could hear their voices. 'I'm not sure about this, are you sure you're going to be okay?', the boy asked the girl. 'No,' she replied as she suspiciously scanned the area and sniffed her nose. 'There's someone out there,' she said eventually. The boy looked around, confused, and smiled. 'It's probably just a stray cat.' 'No,' the girl said again, 'I know this scent.' Scarlett tensed and held her breath. What did she meant when she said she knew that scent? The girl pushed her wheelchair away from the fence, away from the house and the boy obediently followed. 'I told you, it's probably nothing.' Scarlett hid her head behind the trashcan and took off her backpack. There she reached for her collapsible sword. It slowly started to rain and Scarlett cursed silently to herself. This would blur her hearing senses. She could hear the girl approach as she was mumbling to herself. 'Where have I smelled this scent before? Where- Who?' Scarlett released her breath, closed her eyes and let the adrenaline kick in. She took off the cloth from her face. This girl had money, everything else didn't matter. She walked out of the shadows while the rain started pouring down on her. The boy and girl looked up at her in surprise and sharpened their attention. Her face wasn't too be seen, as she wore a large hood over her head and a cloth covering her face. Once she was close enough, she pulled out a small object that collapsed into a large sword and raised her chin challenging. 'I'm going to need your money.
