  "Wow! This dinner is really good." Songea(song-e-a(it's pronounced how it's spelled)) said after swallowing a bite of cooked potato. "You really like it?" Asked Mom, looking at Songea while feeding me a spoon of beetroot soup.
"Phoenix Drop has improved a lot lately." Songea said trying to avoid something but making a funny face while trying. "Yes it has, you are doing a good job to, Your only thirteen years old and your a guard, it's amazing." Mom said.
  "Matilda." Songea said like a question. "Yes?" Mom asks while feeding me more beetroot soup. "I'm just happy Lord Malik let me and my brother be guards, or else me and my brother might not be here right now." Songea said wgiving off a small grin while tucking her blond, brown, and black hair behind her ear. Dump! Just then I heard something outside, but I don't know what it was, all I know is that Songea heard it too.
"I'm going to get some fresh air." Songea said like she was up to something and left the house.

'I wonder what that was?' I wondered while I headed to the door. I started to head to the back of the house 'What Matilda said in there 'Your only thirteen years old and your a guard, it's amazing.' It's not amazing I'm only a strong guard because-' just then I lost my train of thought. I smelt something that's not so friendly, FIRE! I turned around and sprinted to the front of the house. 'Levin, Matilda, and Lord Malik are still in their!' My thoughts of fear made me freeze when I saw the culprit.
  The guard in training with brown hair and brown eyes.... Zenix. It was just him standing there with an evil smile on his face, looking at the fire. "Hey!" I yelled getting his attention. "What are you doing here? You should be in bed resting for day patrol." I glared at him his smile turned into fear just looking at me and then flipped my question. "I could ask you the same thing."
"I'm here for dinner with lord Malik." I answered then went to business. "I saw what you did and you'll regret it." I raised my voice little. 
"Well you wouldn't want anything to happen to your precious older brother, do you?" Zenix threatened me but he could never hurt Garroth, could he? "You could never kill him, he's too powerful!" I argued trying to hold in my rage. "Yes, I very
much know that, but I could hurt him without killing him." Zenix said giving off an evil smirk. "And how's that?" I questioned narrowing my eyes. "By taking something he very much cares about, now... what should it be, hmm... how about... YOU!" He said so suddenly racing his sword towards me.

I struck my sword at Songea but I stopped, just looking into her turquoise eyes, you could tell she's helpless with fear. Then I spoke "I will not kill you, if you do something for me." She looked at me in confusion then asked, "like what?"
"Don't tell anyone what you just saw and if anyone asks make something up or else." I threatened, Songea looked more relieved but I could sense the amount of fear in her Ora. "Yes Zenix, I won't tell a soul." She looked down in shame. I smerked at her and left the crime seen.

I stood there just watching him walk away. 'I'm not scared of dying, but I am scared of what might happen if I wasn't here. I'm scared of what my brother will become, I'm the youngest of the four of us well three now.
My older twin brother was murdered, being the twin of a person that died is hard, but not as hard as having an evil brother who tried to kill me! He kicked me out and that's when I became a guard, it was easy because-' just then I lost my train of thought once again.
I got pinned to the ground and a voice that sounded like Dale's spoke. "What did you do?!" I didn't answer. "Answers me!" He razed his voice. "Nothing." I muttered while staring at him with my perivual vision. "Did you see who did this?" I looked around to see Garroth with the criminal... Zenix.
"Do you know who didn't this!?" Dale raised his voice. "It would be to dangerous if I told." After I said that I felt something squeeze around my wrists, 'Am I being arrested?' I thought. Just then Zenix ran to the house with a water bucket 'he was helping them save lord Malik, he used me!'
A hint of rage ran through my body but I stopped it for everyone's safety. Zenix looked at me, slit his finger across his neck while mouthing. "Or else." And then I blacked out.

~skipping time~

I open my eyes to find that my wrists were released, and that I was in a cell, what's worse? "Hello?" I called. Just then I saw a person come towards me someone I wouldn't forgive....Zenix
He stood there with the same smerk on his face. "Are you happy?" I asked thinking of the answer he might say. "You know you could of said that the food on the stove set on fire." Zenix said, while slowly walking towards me. "Why did you use me?" I asked.
Zenix explained. "I didn't use you, you just didn't move and Dale did what a noble guard would do, phh more like a stupid guar-" just then I reached my arms through the bars and grabbed Zenix's shirt, then pulled him the make him slam into the bars. "Stupid guards wouldn't of done anything you dumb dirty blooded shadownight." I insulted.
Zenix backed up in surprise but then his eyes turned blood red. "If you insult me one more time you're in for it." He threatened "you know what, I'll help you live." He said turning his eye colour back to brown and smiled 'why would he help me?' I wondered.
"I'll be back tomorrow, don't go anywhere." Zenix joked while running to the door. "It's not like I can!" I replied. Just then I stopped in my tracks 'did I just have fun with a shadownight?' I questioned as I pace back and forth in my cell.

~skipping time~

'What time is it, wait someone's coming?!' I thought to myself while turning my head to look at the door to find the person that I've been waiting for, but he had a backpack with him this time. "What's in the bag?" I asked starring at it. "Clothes, Gems(money), Hair supplies." Zenix answered making my mind jump.
"You're not cutting my hair!" I quietly shouted. "Welp, I guess you don't want to be free." He teased while slowly walking towards the door. "Okay fine, you can cut my hair... But why Gems?" I asked while I was on my knees bagging.
'This is pathetic.' I thought to myself. "Because they burned all of your stuff, besides your clothes." He explained.
"Why are you helping me?" I asked narrowing my eyes, "what's life without risks huh?" He said but it looks like he's hiding something.

~more time skipping yay~

"Here, just look." Zenix said calmly as he handed me a mirror. I looked pretty! My hair was up and a braid wrapped around my head. "Now you still have your girly side but you can hide it." He said proudly. 'I really feel like socking him in the nose for him calling me girly.' I thought to myself.
Just then Zenix through me the backpack and walked out of the cell. "They'll find out I escaped what'll I do?" I asked.
"They already think you're dead." He said with a straight face. "Huh? But how?" I wondered as I ran out of the cell. "That a secret for me and me alone." Zenix answered sternly. "Now, get dressed in those clothes and find a way out of Phoenix Drop." He demanded as he rushed out of the prison.
'I should hurry before he says that I'm still alive and escaping.' Thought to myself as toke the clothes out of the bag.

~skipping time~

I look into the mirror and I had a turquoise hoodie on, blue jeans, shoes that made me taller but not high heels and under my hoodie was a white top with a pink bow.
Just then I ran to the side of the door and peeked around it no one was there but just then a note fell out of my bag. 'I don't have time to read I need to escape!' I thought to myself as I crept up the staircase.
'Why is no one here, is Zenix behind this?' I wondered. Once I got to the front door I pulled my hood up to cover my face and walked outside. Just then I accidentally bumped into Dale. I tumbled to the ground. "Oh, sorry kid, I should really watch on where I'm going." Dale apologized 'wow I guess Dale is a little stupid' I thought as he helped me up.
"Thanks" I said with my manliest voice. "What's your name?" He asked 'shit!' I thought and then it came to me. "My name is Soren." 'That's not a real name nice going Songea!' I thought to myself. "Ha ha that's a good name and quite a unique one too." He said patting me on the back. 'It's official, he's an idiot.' I thought.
Just then I heard someone shoot a bow and the arrow was coming from behind Dale! I jumped at him making Dale fall to the ground before the arrow passed.
"Wow! I didn't even know that the arrow was coming, you have some good senses." Dale sounded impressed he placed his hand on his shoulder and smiled. "You know, we just lost a guard named Songea and your a lot like her would you like to be a guard in training?" He asked I squeeze my hands as I thought 'they would fill my place this early?!?!'
"Sure, I always wanted to be a guard." I replied. Dale lead me to Garroth so I could become an official guard in training. "Greetings Dale, who's this?!" Garroth asked looking down at me. "This is Soren, he wants to be a guard in training." Dale answered like it would be that easy for me to become a guard in training. "Soren, what are your strengths?" Garroth asked me "Well I'm good with a bow and a sword." I explained quietly. "Are you shy Soren?" Garroth asked, all I could do was nod. "He has a good sense too, he save me from and arrow that was coming behind me." Dale explained.
"Well Dale, do you want a apprentice?"  Garroth asked, I felt like exploding 'I'm a guard... Again' I thought I can start my life all over.
