 Will sat staring at the clock.  Three twenty nine and fifty eight seconds…  Three twenty nine and fifty nine seconds…  Three thirty!  Every kid jumped from their seats, all practically running from the room and none listening to the teacher’s yelled “Have a fun summer”.  Yes, summer was finally here.  The time when there was no home work to worry about, only carefree days ahead.  Will smiled to herself.  She already had the whole summer planned… She slammed her empty locker closed with more force than necessary while chatting with be neighbor discussing what they planned to do.  “Yeah,” Will said lea

“You know what?” “What?” “Things have a funny way of going wrong when you’re already having a bad day.” Two girls sat on a bench in Roche Park.  One was looking around nervously while the other stared straight ahead and yawned.  “If you want to go home Tikki, you may.” The nervous girl looked at her…eyes about to pop out and hit the ground with a sick squishy sound.  “It’s dark out here.” “It’s night.” “Pae…what if there’s a pervert around?” “Hope he’s hot.” “That’s horrible!”  Tikki stood up.  “I’

 Will screamed again trying to get someone attention.  She could feel tears running down her face, and her nose was getting stuffy making it hard to breath.  She looked up and saw someone standing in her path.  First instinct made her open her mouth to scream for help, but she quickly shut it.  The person wasn’t moving, what if they were in league with the man? Her mind was racing.  The trees?  Or try screaming again?  Before she could make up her mind her foot came down on something round, and she fell to the ground.  “Ugh…”  Will moaned and in a momentary confusion rolled over onto her back….  The man took this to

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod… The same thing ran through Pae’s head at rapid fire.  All she remembered was turning to find the old lady gone and a shape barreling towards her. Personally, she never, ever thought she’d have the guts to drop someone like that.  Well, it wasn’t in cold blood, her mind  muttered, it wasn’t like he couldn’t defend himself. Okay, fine.  But attacking from the back was pretty cowardly.  But it got the job done, her conscious whispered smugly. Now, adrenaline filling her veins still and a person depending on her to keep her safe, Pae felt like she was about to barf. After a while, she made

 It turned out that the Conductor was right… Pae glared at the pale Will.  “Could have looked any more my way when you decided to blow?”  She snapped.  Will’s only reply was to turn and heave up the rest of her dinner.  Pae rolled her eyes and braced herself as the Train started it’s decline before another loop.  The loop was there and gone so fast that she had no idea was Will was getting so worked up about.  “Maybe you should try and enjoy this.  It’s actually kind of fun.” “Fuck you…”  Will muttered. “No thanks.”  Pae said turning her back and looking out over the side.

Feeling extremely woozy, but trying not to show it, Will wobbled a few steps away from the train.  “Pae girl…do you really think that we’re that far from home?” “Keep calling me Pae girl and we’re going to have a problem Willamina,”  Pae snarled as she stared up at the train.  “I don’t know about you, but I’m getting back on.”  She started to climb back onto the train. Will’s heart almost stopped.  “Whoa whoa, no you are not!”  She grabbed Pae’s legs and forcefully dragged her along the ground away from the train.  “We should go through this together, as partner

 By the time they got to the man’s house, both Will and Pae were worn and ready to pass out at the first chance they got. “You two will have to share a room, there’s not enough space for you to have your own.”  The man explained while leading them down a small hallway.  He opened a door to his right and went in. “You’ve got to be kidding…”  Both girls said at once.  The room was small, dirty, and only had one bed. “I don’t kid.”  The man growled.  He turned to leave, looking over his shoulder he said, “Get some rest.  Training will start as soon as the sun is up.”  He slam

Pae jumped a the man’s harsh tone.  “It’s a rabbit! Please don’t tell me it’s a flesh eating rabbit…” The man stared at the thing, which hopped around Pae’s feet.  She giggled. “Oh look, it’s getting ready to pounce and tear out my throat.” “That’s an assassin’s tool.”  The man said with disgust in his voice.  “Someone’s already looking for you both.  I  suggest you take this knife and cut it’s throat before it can send any information back to it’s master.” He handed Pae a steel blade with a  black bone hilt.  She looked at it and wrinkled h

 Will sniffled as she took another bit of rabbit.  “Ohmygawd. It was bad enough I killed the poor thing, now I’m eating it.”  She whined.  “And the worst part, it taste really good…” “Stop whining, be thankful I didn’t make you clean it.”  The man growled. “…This time.”  Pae started to laugh, and ended up gagging, as Will went pale.  “What are you laughing at?   You’re next to kill our meal, and clean it.” “What?  She didn’t have to clean what she killed!”  Pae shouted jumping up out of her seat. “Sit down.”  The man said calmly. “

Will shook her head.  “I don’t know how to fight.” The man stared at her.  His entire face seemed to be made of stone.  He never seemed pleased at what she did.  She’d done all her chores he’d given her while he was cleaning the rabbit.  Yet, not so much as a thank you.  For some reason, she felt the need to please him, earn his respect…. ….like a father. “That’s why you need to learn.  Now here, take this and attack me with what you think would be a good move,”  The man tossed her the dagger, which Will caught and looked at it dubiously. “What if I hurt you?”  She asked.  The fe
