Prologue

POV Helena
Sitting in a crouch behind a bush, my bow and arrow in hand, I watch my prey silently as it just eats against a tree. A devilish smile creeps onto my face as my plan unfolds in my head.

Blowing a stray hair out of my face I watch with eagle eyes how he just sits there unknowing. I pull the bow closer to my body, pulling the string back I aim the arrow on my target, breathing in calmly I close one eye and as I breathe out the arrow flies trough the air hitting it's mark.

"WHAT THE HELL!!"

I get up laughing at the scene infront of me, my trainings partner, Luke, sitting there shocked with an arrow through his beanie that now clings to the tree behind him.

"You should have seen your face, priceless!" I say trying to control my laughter. Wiping a tear away a sit in-front of him smiling sweetly.

"Not cool, Athena, not cool!" He says pissed, "You could have missed and killed me!" He scolds while looking at the arrow above his head.

Deciding to wind him up I say, "Who says I didn't missed?" His face contorts in one of horror as he thinks I wanted to kill him.

"It was a joke, relax!"

"Not cool!" Is his reaction while I put my bow away. He is the only one that I laugh with and knows the real me, to other people I am just the heartless huntress and I like it that way. Once you show one sign of weakness they will use it against you.

"So, how do you like this place so far? Killed any wolves yet?" He asks while prying the arrow out of his beanie.

I shake me head. "No, I haven't gone exploring yet, but I will tonight, can't miss a chance to kill one of those monsters right?" I say with a smirk.

He shakes his head knowingly. "Always the perfect Hunter Athena." I smile proudly at his words knowing full well that I am the best hunter around. I made over a thousand kills already, wiping pack after pack after pack. Not even feeling guilty about it, those monsters killed my parents and I won't stop till there extinct.

"We should head back to the house, I want some training in before I go hunting tonight." I say while standing up and making my way to the little cottage that's just outside town.

He huffs but follows anyway, as my trainings partner he has to take quite the beating some times but hey I must train.

We arrive at the house and directly my eyes fall upon the envelope that lays neatly on the doormat. Taking it and ripping it open I see that it's a note from my boss.

You know what you gotta do!
Train hard, eat healthy and take them down!

I scrunch the note in my hand.
Walking inside, Luke right on my heels, I walk straight to the fireplace throwing all the evidence of SSL away.

"So, training?" He ask clasping his hands together. I smirk, nodding,
"Be right there in a sec."

He nods and walks outside whistling a song. Going upstairs in my room it just looks like an normal girls bedroom. With a pink duvet and white pillows it just looks innocent. Same for the closet I walk into, normal floral and light coloured clothing, except for a few black items, but when I put the hangers aside and push against a little switch behind my clothes the secret compartment opens and reveals my hunters cloak and clothing and my weapons.

Closing the compartment I grab a black legging and my sports bra. Looking in the mirror after changing clothes I look at my toned body, the long dark hair that's braided and finally at the light scar on the inside of my left arm, a reminder of why I'm doing this.

Turning on my heel i jog down the stairs and went outside. Thanks to the society this house lays alone so no one can see us, and we're surrounded by the trees.

Going to the back of the house I come in a clearing. Luke is again sitting against a tree with a bored expression on his face. "I'm ready!"

His eyes look at me and with a grumble he says, "Took you long enough." He gets up and we both get into position.

My hands are in front of my face, my feet slightly bouncing from side to side. We circle each other, now going into fight modus.

Luke is the first to make a hit, his fist flying to the right side of my face but i'm fast enough to block him and sending a punch right in his stomach. He groans and backs up a little, I launch forwards and tackle him to the ground, surprising him, as I straddle him I hit him with both fist, sometimes he can block my hits but I managed to hit him right on the nose.

Hearing the satisfying break of his nose he screams it out in pain. I feel that I am gonna win, and just as I'm gonna land the last hit to his temple he surprises me by hitting my in the side and flipping us over so that he is the one on top.

He tries to hit me in the face but I block his hits with my hands. Kicking my knees up I manage to kick him of me. Standing up quickly I position myself again. Both panting heavy we look at each other and waiting for whom is gonna make the first move.

Deciding to trick him, I make a move to go to the left but kick him right in the chest, he stumbles backwards but doesn't fall over like I expected, instead he makes a move to grab me but with a fast reflex I swing my leg up to kick him in the face.

He grabs my leg and spins it around so I'm falling onto my chest, giving a yelp as he climbs on top of me pushing my shoulder into the ground he wraps his arm around my throat trying to strangle me.

"Are you gonna tap out?" He asks breathing heavy pulling his arm up a little more is I make choking sounds. I don't wanna give up! I'm not gonna tap out!

As my vision begins to blur because of the lack of oxygen I suddenly get an idea. If I can just wriggle my arm out a little...

And then i hit him with my elbow right in the ribs, he lets go of me as he tumbles backwards. I gasp for air as my vision becomes clear again.

Then as I come to senses again I run up to him, having my final move planned. As he stands I push myself into the air by pressing my hands in his shoulders, I wrap my legs around his neck and he falls backward, I tighten my legs around him as he gasps for air, his hands clawing at my legs to release him.

With a smirk I ask, "Are you gonna tap out?" His trashes around but I only tighten my grip. I can see his face becoming a kind of purple colour and then he taps on the ground and I realise him.

As he gasps for air like a fish I stand up and wipe the sweat of my face. "Everything okay?" I ask him while sticking out my hand to help him get up.

"Fucking hell!!" He swears while holding his throat, he looks up at me and takes my hand.

First he stumbles a bit but then he finds his balance. "Not bad for a girl ha?" I ask with a smirk.
As he leans against a tree he smiles and shakes his head.

"Not bad at all." We went back inside to clean ourselves up and after that I'm gonna take a look at the map of this forests to pin point my first area to begin the hunt.
