Trillian and I sit around the fire, staring into the flames. Her and I were thinking of the same thing. What were we going to do now? How much longer did we have before Elliot finds us?

I freeze, and so does Trillian. We heard voices, out in the forest. I stand up and silently walk over the sleeping birds. I whistle softly, and they perk up immediately. I motion to Trillian and she moves over, flapping her wings to get them ready.

I move up onto Raptors back, tapping in morse code his instructions. He readies his wings for take off. Then the clearing explodes with soldiers. 

"I'd appreciate it if you called me Alexandria," I respond. "And yes, I will come with you-"

Just then, a soldier gives the motion to burst into the clearing, and screams are heard within the inside.

"Idiots," Elliot hisses. He turns around, motioning. "Follow me."

We go a few feet and take shelter behind a tree.

"It'll blow over," he says, getting his weapon ready. "Sprocket and Trillian will win. And when they do, they'll go for a few more yards and hide. That's all they can go. Sprocket's weighed down by the scrappy eagles, because she wants to repair them as a result from an accident. Slower and closer. You got an act you usually follow?" 

I smile.

I re-do my two braids, and take off my combat clothes and give them to Elliot to reveal a simple uniform.

I hand him my pistol, my knife, my other pistol, my other knife, my tazer, my pepper spray, a screwdriver, a straw, and a pocket knife.

He looks like a blacksmith, and I can't help but snicker.

"This isn't heavy to you?" he grunts, trying to get a grasp on my stuff.

"Training," I mutter.

I slip one knife into my sleeve, and Elliot leads the way. We get to the previous clearing and we don't see a sign of this Sprocket or Trillian. But we do see soldiers laying on the ground. I walk around the clearing, and wave Elliot over.

A piece of fabric clings to a bush.

"Strength silk," I say, facing Elliot. "Do your soldiers use this material?"

"No," he mutters, grabbing the fabric and inspecting it. "They use actual armour, and beneath that they use a thing we call 'metal fabric.' It can't be torn from a bush."

"Well wherever they were going," I say, looking at the deeper part of the forest. "They were going in a hurry."

We walk a little longer, and we soon find tracks. Two humans, and one of them seemed to have been dragging something along. 

"Sprocket," Elliot grumbles.

We follow the tracks, when I see them all of the sudden, and so does Elliot.

He grabs my arm, and we jerk behind a bush.

"Did you hear that?" a voice asks.

"Yeah," another voice replies. "It came from over there."

The voices suddenley become louder.

Leave. I signal Elliot. I got this. On my signal.

I curl into a ball as Elliot gets away and I start crying. 

The voices finally come upon me and stop.

"Hello there," a voice gently says.

I look up and brush away my produced tears. 

A girl with mechanical wings and another girl stand side-by-side.

I nod.

"Where are you from?" the girl with wings asks.

I shake my head and start crying again, burrying my head in my lap.

The girl without wings crouches beside me. Perfect. Now comes the moment I've been waiting for.

"Well, I'm-"

But her sentence is cut short by her scream as I plunge my knife into her leg. 

So...where are Kimilene and Tuera...??? 

~ Trillian 

Just so you know Alexandria, I am not a vampire, just sprocket.

i leap back in alarm and draw my sword. Sprocket staggered back, clutching her calf. "Get up on your eagle!" I yell to her, "Circle overhead!" At her present condition she new she wouldn't be able to help so she hopped on her eagle and hovered far above us, watching. Slowly the new girl and I circle each other, she now had twin daggers gleaming in her hands. Lunging, I stab and slash at her and each time she darts out of the way. I get a few nicks from the daggers and in turn she gets a cut on her shoulder. We were evenly matched...

I almost laugh. They do not know where I came from. I was trained under all pain to never break. And they wouldn't kill a little girl.

I scoff and finger the knife I slipped by with behind my back. They tied me with spider silk, but I know something they don't.

I dig the knife into my hand, and inch my hand up the silk. Enough blood can weigh it down, so it gets soggy and easier to cut.

"Look, we aren't going to ask you again," the girl with wings responds. "Just tell us, it's okay."

I scoff. She talks to me like she would talk to a child.

Oh well, might as well play their little game. Of course I let the cats take a hold of me. It's all a part of the plan. 

The girl with wings sighs.

While they dicuss my interrogation, I feel the silk start to weigh down. I then take my small knife and start to saw away at it.

They finally turn around right as I cut it in half, but I pretend to still have it. Not yet....

"Look kid," the girl with wings says. "We're taking you back."

I smile, and the girl looks at me confused.

"Now!" I yell, and Elliot leaps out from the bushes.

I pull myself from the tree, a trail of blood behind me, and I begin to fight the girl with wings.

She side kicks me, but I pull her leg out from underneath her, and out my legs between her head, twisting her and throwing her aside.

She looks stunned, but continues to fight.

She has me in a head lock, but I take my knife and throw it into her wing. She screams and stumbles off. I then kick her in her stomach, and push her down. Then I punch her one more time in the face, and she blacks out.

The other girl ran away.

"Right," Elliot says, brushing himself off. "Let's get them rounded and head back to the base." 

I circle overhead, watching Trillian fight with the little girl. In all of the confusion of Trillian getting stabbed I had jumped onto one of my eagles. I was hoping that I could do something from the air, but it looked like I was useless.

I watch Trillian get knocked out, and the soldiers fanning out to look for me. Some guarded over Trillian's body. That meant I would have to be steathly to get her out.

I signal for Raptor to drop me on a tree branch. I shimmy down, trying not to make any noise. Climbing trees was definitely not my forte.

I drop to the forest floor, just outside the clearing. I switch my arm to sleep dart, and quickly fire the small missiles at the guards. They drop down immediately, and I quickly run to Trillian's body and start to drag her away.

"Stop right there." The small voice catches me by surprise, and I see the shrimp who hurt Trillian standing there. I growl. "Get out of here twinky before I get angry." She smiles a sarcastic smile. "You think you're all high and mighty because you're a big bad vampire." She pretend pouts, then throws a knife at me. I easily dodge it.

"So you're Elliot's new assasin?"I ask. She smiles. "Yes, yes I am. I am also the best, for none of them have been given the amount of training I have. I will suceed when no one else has because I have been tested to the limit. No one can beat me. I have had far to much experience."

I smile. "You might find that that might change a bit." She scoffs. "Like you and your puny little friends can stop me. I am to educated for that."

"You will find that I have had a different education. One that you can only get from living on the streets your whole life. You learn to be tough in a way no one else has."

She glares at me and readies her weapons. 

Ahhh... can someone catch me up? I was gone for a day and this happened and I'm so lost where is Caelani what am I doing AHHHHHHH I NEED HELP!

(I would just like to say that my character does not brag like that. I am actually fairly quiet. But that's fine. :)

She takes out a knife but I kick it out of her hand, then kicking her in the side so she doubles over. She then punches me in the shoulder and slices my already bloody hand, but I ignore it. Keep on going. I aim a kick at her head, sweeping my leg over so she is brushed to the side. She falls, and I kick her up, putting her in a head lock. I take my knife out and shove it at her face.

"That's enough," a voice says.

I look up and see Elliot.

"Let's have her alive. For now."

I hesitate.

"Alive."

I let go of her as she collapses.

Guards come and secure her bonds, and we head to the base.

(Okay, I need to explain some things here. I am not OP, if that's what some of you are thinking, I just came from a rough situation. Every year in my village, a girl was kidnapped and sent to the Academy. I was that girl when I was 5, and from there, I had tough courses, literal death fights against other girls, and we were taught not to crack under any pain. Literally. They put us through that pain to test us. So, a lot of other stuff happened, but I hope this clears som things up. I am not trying to be OP or anything, but I'm just a trained assasin.)
