Well, I'll post the first chapter!.!.!.Here it is!.!.!.!.
Chapter One
It was midnight!. The glowing moon bathed the forest in silvery light, throwing everything into sharp shadows!. I inhaled deeply, the smell of pine lingered in my nostrils!.
Free at last!.
Free from that hellish school!. Free to do what I wanted to do with my life, not what I was destined for!.
I sank to the needle covered floor!. I suddenly felt exhausted!. I dropped my head onto my knees and took deep breaths!. The memory of yesterday flickered beneath my closed lids!.

It was October 13th, my birthday, the day that I turned sixteen!. I was sitting on my hard bed with thirteen different photos clasped in my shaking hand!.
The pain that swept through my body was mind boggling!. I had never felt such misery before!. It ripped at my heart, tore it to pieces!.
In my hand I held pictures of the life that I might have had, the family that was almost mine!. The family that I was snatched from the day of my birth!.
A new emotion ripped at me!. It was anger!. Blinding, blood thirsty anger!.
Those monsters!. They took me away from my mother, from my father!. The people who had created me!. My own flesh and blood!.
I had stood up and stuffed the pictures angrily into a wooden box!. I then threw that box roughly under my bed!.
I stormed out of the room!. I needed to get my anger out somehow!. Somehow without hurting anybody, or myself!.
I was so done with hurting anybody!. That was what I had been raised for!. To fight!. To kill!. To exterminate!. To use my powers for evil!.
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist!. My feet were flying, taking me to where I needed to be without me even having to think!.
There was a monster inside of me, trying to claw its way out!. I started running, running from the monster, from myself!. I was a monster!. How many people had died at my hand!?
Twenty!? Thirty!? Fifty!? Innocent creatures with families who they loved!.
Love!. The word made me want to spit!. There was no love in this place!. Only hate!. This was a place of pure hatred!.
I was at school, if you could even consider this sick place a school!. The school was hidden in a thick forest away from civilization, away from people who might notice what we were doing!.
We were being trained!. Trained to be emotionless evil beings!. To kill first and ask questions later!. Trained to use our gift to hurt people!.
That cursed gift!. That gift had ruined my life!. It was destroyed now, there was no turning back the clock!.
As I flew down the hall I passed a mirror!. I caught sight of my reflection from the corner of my eye!. I stopped, shocked, that that girl could possibly be me!.
She was tall and strong looking, with long lean limbs!. Her hair fell like a thick and glossy curtain to her waist!. Her skin was snow white, with a flush of color in her cheeks!. Her eyes, wide with surprise, were a deep violet color!.
It was not my face that had surprised me, but the expression on it!. I had been under the impression that my teeth were gritted together in anger, that I had drawn my dark eyebrows low over those strange violet eyes to give myself a menacing look!. I had been wrong!.
My face was twisted in an expression of unholy pain!. My mouth was turned down in a grimace, my eyebrow pulled up in the middle giving me a pathetic look of weakness!. But it was the eyes that really caught me off guard!.
The deep violet color, usually hardened over, was glowing bright!. Shining from a pain directly from my mangled heart!. My long dark eyes lashes were stuck together in little clumps from the wetness leaking from them!.
I was crying!.
The anger that lashed out was sudden and intense!. My expression didn’t change, but there was a slight hardening of my eyes!. The tears continued to stream down my face!.
I had not cried since I was three years old!. I thought that I had lost that ability!. Apparently not!.
My reflections mouth dropped into a perfect ‘o’!. The screech that I emitted sounded like that of a tortured animal!. It hurt my ears!.
I let my fist snap out and smash into the glass!. It shattered, sending sparkling bits in every direction!. Blood dripped down the gash in my knuckles!. I ignored it, I had had worse!.
The sound of feet running down the hall reached my ears!. My scream of fury shattered the sound barrier!. It echoed from the halls!. Whoever was running skidded to a stop then started running with grater speed, toward me!.
I turned around slowly and crossed my arms over my chest!. I waited for the person to catch up!.
“Lily!?” It was Master!. I felt the inclination to dip into a curtsey but suppressed it!. I pressed my lips into a thin line!. “What is the meaning of all of this!?”
“I’m done,” I spat at him!. “I quit!.” His thick black eyebrows disappeared up under his greasy head of black hair!.
“You can’t quit!.” He tried to keep his voice in control but his anger had seeped in nonetheless!.
“I can and I am!.” I kept my voice even and cool!. “I’m done killing innocent creatures!.” He chuckled darkly and Www@QuestionHome@Com
