I walked to the edge of the clearing where the man had been standing. Well there wasn't anything interesting there so I went into the woods. I walked and walked and walked where the hell was this guy. I heard a movement behind me and turned to see a girl with long brown curly hair. "impressive" she said "what?" I asked. "the fact that you shot him in the face""you should see some of the stuff I do at practice" we talked for a while and it turned out she was 16 (2years older than me) and she lived in the nearby village. "Do you want to come see the castle?" I asked "sure" she said and we walked back. When we came to the clearing she pointed at the man's body and said"that's legend" "ok" I said. We walked back to the castle and I took her to training with me. Once Ben (my crossbow teacher was done yelling at me for being late he asked her if she'd like to shoot a target. "sure" she replied and he gave her my crossbow. She aimed at the target and fired. It missed completely and hit the east tower. she handed it to me and I shot the target in the center and smiled at her. "Showoff" she said and gave my friendly push. She took the bow and shot it up in the air I followed it with my eyes and knocked down the target. It hit the target on the very edge. "YES!" she shouted and did a little victory dance. Ben was getting annoyed at us "stop messing around!" he told me "fine I said and asked him what I had to do next. "shoot that bird" he said and pointed to a bird. My first shot missed and hit the ground, my secant shot hit the poor little bird in the head and it fell to my feet.
Ben told me to skin the bird. Ugh it was bloody. Once I finished he made a fire and told me to roast the bird. I did as he said. Once I was done he said "eat it"I took a bite and shuddered at the taste. "you had better get used to it he said. "why?" I asked "because you will be living in the woods for a week."he said. "well what are you doing just sitting there? Go!" o ran to the woods and heard someone behind me. I turned to see the girl. "your coming?" I asked "yup" she said. "well if we are going to be in the woods for a week we'd better get to know each other." okay I'm ken and I'm living at the castle to train to be an assassin. My parents died when I was little and my sitter died with them."I said. "I'm sorry to hear that" she said. "oh I got over it."it I replied. "how did they die?" she asked. "that's the part I haven't gotten over. The were killed by a man. I don't know his name but he tortured them to death."I replied "you never told me your name so I'm going to call you John" I said "hello John" "my name is grace" said John. "okay grace" I said
