I stood outside the base walls waiting on my parents who where debating about something behind it's grand doors. They called me out so they could tell me something, so I waited outside. I was tired of hearing them screaming at each other, so I tuned them out not knowing what they would wanted to talk about with me. I looked to the full moon that was rising in the pitch-black sky; the moon was a yellowish color reminding that the day was over. Sometimes I wish that I could be up there in the sky with the moon.
"Jenn?" asked a voice filled with regret. I turned around leaving the moon's yellow glare behind me. A woman with orange hair and eyes looked down on me with an overfilling sadness flowing out. It was my mother, the one who lied about everything to me. My father followed behind with a joyful smile. I crossed my arms and scowled at them. I had became pretty good at that over the seven years I have been alive.
"Jenn, hear us out," said my mother. I looked to my father who was now holding onto my mother shoulders with his devil grin on.
"You know, Jenn, you are...uh, special," said my mother who dropped her gaze from mine. "I can't do it Lynn, I can't tell her!" shouted my mother dropping to her knees. She started crying in her hands. I could her the regret howling out in her cries.
I stood there quietly watching my mother cry, not feeling any anything pang my heart. My father crouched down to my mother and whispered something in her ear. He looked to me and said the words so clearly that they rang in my ear. Words that I thought I would never hear.
"Jenn, my darling little girl," he started with a smile that was trying not to creep across his face. "Your mother and I need to tell you that you where chosen as person to save the world we live in. You know the tale of the human and the guardian don't you?"
I nodded...I had already knew where this was going. "Stop," I said quietly looking down at my feet. I heard my mother stop her crying. "You're telling me that I am half mortal and the other half guardian? Cause if that is what you are saying I have already known. I have known for the longest time and you want to tell me now? Well I am sorry to tell you that I won't be taking this I refuse to accept it."
I turned around from my parents and looked to the moon again. "Jenn," crocked my mother gasping to catch her breath. I breathed in before realizing my words that had just spilled from my mouth.
"I will no longer acknowledge you both as my parents. In fact I never did, you should have already seen that when I almost died... I don't want anyone to find me. Don't send put search parties to look for me. I will be gone for a bit. If you do, expect someone to come back with a message for you and a injured body part. Oh and frankly thats was the cheesest way to tell someone they are goingn to be awakened."
I waked down the stairs of the base towards the darkness of the woods. Linda and Lynn watched me as I left them there. Seven years old and I had all ready been known as the assassin of the east due to my mission at the age of five.
I walked deeper into the forest till I got to caves that lead to my secret hideaway. A place where the moon shines on the water of a small lake, and trees that give a great view of the sky stars. I climbed up and over a bolder that helps me get to a tree of the left of the entrance. I steadied myself on the rock and walked up to the tree's base. I climb the limbs of the tree till I got to the top. I pulled myself up on a sturdy branch at the top and poked my head out. The moon was high in the sky now, no longer a yellow color but a bright blue white color, a color that put me at ease.
"At least you understand me right?" I asked out loud calling to the moon. The leaves around me on the tree started to sway in the wind, making a soft ruffling sound. The water from the lake rippled looking beautiful in the moonlight. I put my head in my hands. 'Why do they do this to me?' I asked myself.

I raised my head from my hands and felt the wind around me brush back my hair that had fallen in front of my face. I felt a presence behind me knowing if I turned around it could cost me.
"Who's there!?" I said softly yet demanding from the treetop I looked around and saw no one. The wind started to pick up again and a little and boy appeared in front of me.
"Are you...Jennifer Skye Rose?' asked the boy with curious look. I widen my eyes. He was to close to my face. I felt myself heat up as I realized that his face was close to mine. No one has even been that close to me with out getting injured. I backed up as far as I could on the branch I was sitting on.
I coughed putting my arm in front of my face and drew the dagger out to where he could see it. " W-why do you need to know?" I asked sternly trying not to tremble. The boy floated over to me and got in my face again. I sucked in a deep breath and stopped breathing.
"Hmm," said the boy. I clenched the handle of the knife tighter. I couldn't move. "Old Man!" shouted the boy looking back into the nothingness of the night. He drifted away from me. This was my chance.
I grabbed his collar pulling him back to me and positioned the knife on his neck.
"I asked you a question!" I shouted trying to not let the fear rise in my voice .
He gulped and looked up at me in the corner of his eye. "Holy Shit... old man are you trying to get me killed," said the boy.
"Answer me," I said sternly. I pressed the knife against his throat.
"Okay, Okay, fine just don't cut my hair," said the boy shutting his eyes tightly.
I let go of the boy but still holding the knife up at him to indicate that I would cut him down.
"I'm Riley, your 'guardian'."
'My...guardian? To bad I don't want one.' I thought to myself.
"And I don't want an Awakened that is unattractive, looks like that can't be changed huh," said the boy crossing his arms.
I looked at the boy with an enraged look and ready my knife. "What!" I screeched gripping the handle tighter as my face went red with hate. I grabbed the boy again by the collar and sneered.
The boy covered his ears and yelled, "Calm down, and lower that knife before someone gets hurt. The old man said he would explain something to us so put that thing away."
The wind picked up again and pushed my hair in front of my face. Then an old man appeared with a pine leaf colored rob on carrying a staff with a purple orb in it appeared sitting on a treetop in front of us. His pale skin shined in the moonlight and his hair was white like snow but had an awkward black zigzag run down the middle of his hair.
"Hahahaha, I see you two have met already," said his heavy voice. My eyes widen in amazement at this person in front of me. I let go of Riley and let my arms drop. The wind of the dark night stopped it howling.
"Jennifer Skye Rose, I am Master Parson. I see you know about your father, Lynn Stone, and your mother Linda Rose," bellowed the old man.
I cringed at there names. I don't want to hear anymore of their involvement in my life. I looked down gripping the handle of the knife turning my knuckles white. I am pretty sure any tighter I would have started to bleed.
"So you do know, well that makes this easier for me to explain this." Said the old man.
I raised my head up to look at him, "No, I refuse to have a guardian,"I murmur. I stand up on the branch and jump from the top down bellow into the lake. I landed in the darkness of the water leaving the sound of the night behind. I drifted deep under the water then I turned opening my eyes to face the gleam of the moon, the only thing I could trust in this world. The moon shined brightly down on me. I felt warm inside as its light rays shined but I know I was surrounded by the coldness of the water. If only I could hold the moon maybe just maybe I could feel free. I reached the surface of the water and was greeted by the boy named Riley.
