In the high secluded mountains of japan there lies a land filled with ancient buildings. One would think that they were beautiful, one would think that they are held of peace and love. That's not at all what they are made of, they are made of nightmares, orphaned children of Japan, and blood. I've lived here since I was 4 I'm now 18. I walk down the wooden hallways with a paper walls thinking, that seems to be all that I do, I furrow my brows as rain beings to fall outside and thunder roars with the Lightning's cue. I slide open my paper door and look around at all of the people around my age sleeping in their mats with their blankets, their eyes moving knowing I was here. I lay down on my mat and calm my breathing before I go into a rest suitable for my body. When I hear screeching I know who it is. I instantly get up with such a swiftness only a ninja would have, and peep out our door all of my fellow siblings behind me, I watch my best friend being dragged by the night crew screaming at them to let her go, I swallow my spit with a gulp and walk back to my mat. They will call us for her execution. She tried escaping. And I can't watch my best friend get her heart ripped out, a man dressed in the usual all black nods our way basically telling us to get dressed and meet us out side in 5 minutes. I swiftly throw all of my black outfit on shake out my soft short hair before putting on my mask, showing nothing but my Piercing eyes. We all walk outside and instantly form our usual formation under the mist of the cool mountains. There sza len was tied at the post, where so many of her fellow siblings have died. I made eye contact with her and I saw no regret in her eyes, no regret for trying to be free. I only could soften my eyes as I looked at her, for she couldn't see my smile. Father stood beside her with disgust in his face so much it made me want to kill him on sight, he spoke with a loud crisp and clear voice with a heavy accent "you are going to be a example. You betrayed your family and betrayed your father. For this you must pay with your blood and life." Father ended his sentence with a nod to the lead assassin of our group. My eyes look straight at her as she mouths three words to me with a soft smile......"go. Be. Free."
He raises his katana before swinging backwards facing us and stabbing the tip of his katana straight through her heart, I flinch hearing her soft cry of pain before the life leaves her eyes, I've seen that look, but I have never felt more rage then I have now. When we were dismissed for training I had four simple words in my mind. "Go. Be. Free. Kill."

And I plan on doing that.

I sit up softly in my mat not making even a ounce of noise before walking beside my mat and taking the neatly folded black clothes and swiftly putting them on, after I do that I make sure you can only see my eyes, I make my way to the sliding door and slide it open it also not making a noise, I walk down the halls that were supposed to welcome the feeling of peace and tranquillity, this place welcomes the feeling of hell and pain. And now anger. I make it to the weapons room before sliding through the shadows and slipping in, I see all the weapons I will need before grabbing a duffle bag and stuffing as many weapons I could fit, some being throwing stars, daggers, and the chain with knifes on each end, after that I grab a sharp black handle katana with a a red snake going down the handle. I inhale sharply before walking outside the sliding door and into the rain, the clouds roar with thunder, and the wind whips at my eyes, but I continue and instantly see the night guard, he takes my look in before piecing it together and narrowing his eyes speaking in a deep voice "nanishiteruno ja mei"(what are you doing)
"Anata wa orokade wanai, watashi ni anata to tatakawa senaide kudasai zhai"(you're not stupid, don't make me fight you zhai)
He only shakes his head with sad eyes before unsheathing his katana off his back and running towards me with feather like feet. I move to the side dodging his attack and instantly grab out my dagger stabbing him straight into throat. "I'm sorry brother" I whisper with my Japanese accent prominent. I lay him onto the mud and sprint off, it will be only seconds before they find his body. I see the wall of the mountain come into view I grab both of my daggers before leaping into the air stabbing them into the hard stone, once stable enough to climb I reach one hand after the other. I pant with every move I make before I great the Familiar Bell ringing in the distance, they found him. I reach the top and look down, nothing but river before I could prepare my jump I feel a knife go through my shoulder, I grunt loudly before turning and grabbing the hand that stabbed me twisting it in such a wrongness way you hear a sickening crack reach through the rain, I use that arm shoving the person off the wall him going down with a scream. I look around and see them racing towards me. No time to think now i leap off the wall kicking my feet into the air before amok get them straight like a needle I hold onto my duffle bag feeling the ice cold water suddenly surround me, I use my muscles that ache with every move to swim to the shore. I pant as I rip my mask off taking in deep breaths. I pull my duffle bag tighter before taking off towards he road far from here. I hear their feet hitting the Forest ground not far from here. So I pick up speed, until I spot a large truck speeding down the road. I rip out my daggers and do something that could possibly rip my arms off, I jump into the air stabbing them into the metal side of the truck as it continues to speed, good don't think the drivers heard me. I use my daggers to launch myself onto the top of the trucks carrier before stabbing them onto the top and wait for it to make a pit stop. I look behind me my hair racing in front of my eyes, and see the small shadows of my brothers and sisters. I made it. I got out.

-~-~-~-~

The truck stops at a gas station after 3 or so hours of traveling, good my hands were starting to cramp. I sling my lower body of the truck before landing straight on my feet, I shove my dagger into the duffle bag on my back before I hopping into the tuck while the driver is inside in the bathroom and grab his wallet and phone. I hop out before walking fast just down the deserted street with all sorts of street lights. I use the emergency dial pad and call a cab with the number I mesmerized by now. 15 minutes later the cab pulls up slowly it's engine puffing out smoke at the back. I gruffly say airport before the driver takes off. I breath out a sigh before relaxing against the seat, the driver tried making conversation but after me not answering he gave up. I grab the mans wallet that I stole and grab out the ID card before tossing it at the man and exiting the car. I walk straight to where employees are before putting up my mask and disappearing to the shadows, I wait outside the employees only door waiting for it to open so I can slip right it. As a employee leaves I do just that. I look at all the flights leaving before spotting one straight to America New Jersey. I breath deeply before hopping onto the desk cracking open the vent before slipping through like I was never there. I slide through the vents my small form proving me good, I spot a place with a window through one of the holes in the vents before popping it open. It's a office. I grab out my dagger before going to the window seeing the plane in the distance that will be leaving in exactly 30 minutes. I use all my strength stabbing my daggers into the glass before kicking right between the two daggers making the glass go everywhere. I put my dagger back into the bag before jumping 3 stories landing in a roll. I thank the heavens it's still in the early hours so there's still shadows, I see the cart that takes the bags to the plane before hopping straight into it as it drives past me, not making a sound at all not moving the bags out of place from when they were out there. As they stop just billow the plane I see the area they throw the bags on before I sprint pass everyone and hop straight into it jumping pass the bags being loaded on. I find a corner where the bags make a sort of wall, I sit down and rest my head in the cold under of the plane and I can finally sleep. I hear them close the plane up and hear the engine start to push this plane to move.

See you soon America.
