Chapter 2
I went over to the bows and chose one that had a long tight string that was silver and black, and it's arrows were long and perfectly made with black tips.
"HA" a boy yelled at me and I looked at him angry and confused "you aren't going to be able to shoot a target five meters from the shooting line" and because I was taking this as a challenge I went over to the farthest target here which was over a hundred feet from the shooting line. Then I drew an arrow and pulled back the string effortlessly, and then I steadied my breathing and let the arrow fly. It hit dead center of the target and I looked back to see the kid staring at me in shock with his mouth wide open. I smirked and then gave him a death glare, and then I pressed the button to bring up the haystack and walked off knowing that I hit the direct center of the target with out oven trying to. Then I went to the side and watched as they looked with bulging eyes at the arrow embedded dead center in the target. After they looked at it for a while I went back up and ripped out the arrow just as a woman with a long bow and a slim build came in.
"How's my class doing" she asked and when no one answered she looked around "what happened"
"S-she just struck the bulls eye" the boy said pointing a finger at me, and I knew that I should be more careful here so that I don't get this much attention.
"Is that so" she said and then went up to the target and looked at the hole in the middle of the hay's bulls eye. Then she turned to me with a shocked face, and then she came over and whispered in my ear "I want to see you after class" and then she turned to the others and started to instruct them on how to use and safely shoot a bow and arrow at the target. I found out that the boy that was bad talking me couldn't even get close to the target that was only ten feet from the shooting lane line. I watched them fire endlessly and I laughed at a couple of fails, and one of them required me to have to catch the arrow that came at my face when the person was aiming forward and the teacher was instructing her.
This only got more attention at me and the teacher raised an eyebrow at my reflexes and actions towards a flying arrow, and I was guessing that she was going to hear a scream not just simply nothing. I got up and grabbed some simple arrow weighing them in one hand and guessing how they would fly. Then I went to a lane and put the target fifty feet from the lane line. Then I shot arrow after arrow at the target purposefully splitting a couple and making a couple land in the outsides of the red ring by the black bulls eye, and I split the bulls eye ones three times and the outside ones twice each before the siren rang and I packed up. The teacher waited till everyone was out and then she came at me fast pulling out a dagger. I don't know why she was doing it, but I dodged her attacks with out a weapon and then disarmed her putting her into a pinning position. So much for keeping a low profile I thought, and
"Now why did you do that" I asked her my her ear
"Just to prove a point" she said and I let her go
"What's that" I asked as she stretched out her tendons and muscles
"To prove that you don't need to be in this class, but you need to be in the elite guard" she said and I took a step back in surprise because I couldn't do that. I am only sixteen and she's trying to get me to get submitted into the royal guard, or even more secret. Then I was thinking that I couldn't do it because then I would either be discovered for sure, and that I was going to be leaving this place soon and didn't need to join a group like that. Plus I couldn't do it because my mom said to stay away from anything that had to do with the royal court or the military there. I looked at the teacher and shook my head
"I can't do that" I said
"Why" she asked "you are clearly not like the others, and you are going to be here for four years, so why not" my head reeled
"Four years" I asked screeching, and I knew that my mom knew about this and was just torturing me and making this final test harder, but I calmed myself down and looked at her again "I can't do that"
"Why not" she said
"I- I can't explain it, but I just can't okay, and if you try to force me to then I will leave this place in ruins" I said darkly looking at her
"Well then I guess that I'll just have to force you to" she said and then I heard a quiet beep and I could only watch as the ceiling turned to steel, then all of the windows and walls were sealed off by steel plates, and then I heard a click and all I saw of the teacher was the edge of the bow going out the door before the door shut and metal sections came out of the walls and sealed off the door.
"Well at least I know that they have good security" I said and then I pulled up a chair and waited looking at the door in annoyance. Three hours passed before I felt a slight rumble and the metal sealing the door slid back into the walls and the door opened, but no one came through. I stood and unsheathed two knives from my back. I slowly crept to the door and then a circular object came flying in through the crack and the door shut making the metal slid back in-place of the door. Then a hissing noise came from the ball and I cursed and sucked in a deep breath. I looked around and grabbed the arrows, wood baskets, quivers, cut the string from a couple of the bows, and then I ripped apart the arrows and baskets and then stuck the shafts through the slits of the baskets. Then I took the quivers and cut them apart wrapping them over the basket, and then I put it on my face and tied the bow string around the bottom of it and the back of my head and then secured it with more string.
Then the doors opened and I grabbed my black bow and some arrows and went into the corner to hide breathing in deeply through the makeshift mask. I notched an arrow onto my bow and aimed at the door, and three men with gas masks on and thick metal vests came through and looked around in confusion. I took this as my go and shot six arrows into their legs making them fall to the ground yelling in pain. Then I quickly ran up to them and knocked out two of them quickly and pointed an arrow at the thirds face.
"Who are you" he said through his mask
"I hope that you don't find out" I said and then I grabbed my knives from where I dropped them and punched the wall making it dent and crack satisfyingly. I kept on punching it and then I looked back at the man that had a very surprised face on under his mask. I looked at the door to see three more coming through and then I punched the wall one last time and walked through the hole in it just to see a whole bunch of students looking at me in confusion and some of them had swords. I looked around and saw that I was in a combat classroom and a guy with sword came rushing at me determined to take me down. I dodged his attack and went low swiping his feet from under him and making him fall to the ground unconscious.
Then I realized where I was and who the teacher was, and I barely avoided a swipe from the teacher that was in my weapons class. He was fast for his large build, but after a couple of minutes of swiping and me easily dodging or hitting aside his strike with my daggers. I saw a soldier come through the hole and this one was a female and she pointed a gun at me and I decided that this was the time to run. I heard her shoot just as I dodged a swipe from the teacher and then I went up behind him and pulled him in the path of the shot to see a dart embed itself into his chest and he crumpled unconscious. Then I did a back flip over the other students and turned around running straight through the glass on the third floor.
I bent my knees preparing to land and roll, and when I hit the ground I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder before I hit the ground and rolled onto the grass safely. Then I took the dart from my shoulder and looked at the woman with the dart gun, and she looked back at me with shock written all over her. Then I turned and ran through the field into the nearest safe exit section, but when I went through the field I stopped in the middle of a dark forest. I looked back at the school wondering what it would be like to go there and not have any problems surviving and learning things there. Then I turned and ran through the dark forest with my knives in hand, but then I realized that I was still wearing this dress and it had slowed me down by ten minutes. I quickly stopped and then spun in a circle of flames and burned my dress off replacing it with my black and silver assassin's suit and ran faster recovering my ten lost minutes of getting away from the place.
--------------------<Third Person POV>-----------------------------------
"What the hell happened and who the hell could do this to highly trained soldiers" the Squad leader yelled at the group of six soldiers standing before him.
"Sir, she took down three men with arrows and made a mask out of wood, leather, and string" (I dare you to find out if this is possible) a male soldier said holding up the mask that the girl had dropped when she went through the hole that she made through the steel-covered wall.
"How the hell did she punch through steel" one of the soldiers with a bandaged leg asked looking at the broken wall through the combat classroom. After the incident with the teacher and the student the classroom had been sealed off and wasn't being used, and the same for the archery classroom.
"Did you get anything about her parentage or why she was here" the Squad leader said
"No sir, but we do know that a woman dropped her off here, and she looked like a mother that didn't know anything about this" a soldier that was sitting in a desk looking at a computer said looking at the squad captain.
"Find her father, mother, and more importantly her because we are going to first question her and then recruit her forcefully even if she doesn't want to" the squad leader said before leaving the room and heading down the hall of the empty school.
"Hey Jason" the female soldier said "what the hell happened to you guys" and he shook his head in a little pain.
"I don't know" Jason said "at first we thought that she had collapsed somewhere else, and then and arrow went through our legs and the next thing I knew they were knocked out and an arrow was being pointed at my face by her wearing her mask"
"Anything else" the female asked
"Yeah, when I asked her who she was and she said that she hoped that I never found out" he said "what does that mean Alexa"
"I don't know Jason" Alexa said looking at the hole in the wall curiously thinking what does that mean
