Bio: The triplets were inseparable at first, even with their different professions they meet up and hang about a lot, in college they played the forbidden love romance to attract girls but in honesty, like most brothers, they are very competitive of each other, they all have the same natural hair and eye color. Seb wears blue contacts as the youngest (by 5 minutes) he got last pick, Jacob (second youngest) chose brown and being the oldest Michael got to keep their naturally green eye color. They are all rather playful but most the time they take what they do seriously, ironically they sometimes switch places for a laugh. The only noticeable difference between the three at any time is their tattoos. Sebastian as Celtic wings on the back of his right hand. Jacob has the same Celtic wings but on the back of his neck, Michael has the wings over his heart.

UnKNOWN

Vanessa moved rapidly swinging her sword with great precision, yet her competitor was tough. She focused on moving and fighting, scaling a wall and pushing off dove at the enemy twisting her body to avoid a stabbing blow, bringing up her knees so she could push off the sword soaring through the air, the black tight bodysuit followed by the trails of red from her wrist as one of the bandages around her arm unraveled from a previously landed blow, a different opponent had got her on that one. She swung her sword downwards allowing her body to follow the swing, a clean strike in to his skull she bent her body backwards her feet on his back to pull the blade free from his skull and flipping over on one hand landing on her feet. The wound stung, she moved away her black hair trailing in the ponytail as she rushed to somewhere to hide, rapidly changing in to the long sleeved low v neck dress. Removing the contacts and storing them in a pot she undid her hair letting it fall loose. The change only took minutes, she bundled her assassin gear in to a bag she slung over her shoulder before heading off to the soldier’s barracks.

The triplets had been having lunch together and briefly bid each other adieu; Jacob headed to the soldier barracks, it was hot and sweaty in there and he could see his little sister, being mischievous as normal, among the men. He knew none of them knew who she really was and he walked over, she had been dancing on a table for them holding a light air about her, when she jumped down and followed him to the room and bed that was his, her entire disposition changed. Scowling she sat on his bed, one arm lazily hung over the other. Jacob couldn’t help but be endeared by his ‘tough’ little sister. He patted her head affectionately. “What can I do for you Ness?” she sighed and lifted up the sleeve of the dress she was wearing, the gash ran deep and he rolled his eyes, getting straight to work on patching her up. Vanessa only came here at such times.

Sebastian headed to the princess’ quarters, after a brief knock he entered bowing to her deeply, getting on knee to do so. “Your highness please excuse me for being late, I lost track of time with my brothers.” They had been joking about swapping places again but he didn’t think he could trust his brothers to protect the princess right now. As her bodyguard he couldn’t risk this. He looked up through his blue contacts at her, he expected her to scold him in her usual sweet way, or to let him off. He had never seen her truly punish someone, yet she also knew of the 2 men who served under being identical so it wouldn’t surprise him if she knew of their third. He had heard Vanessa was there on his way to her chambers, probably injured, he silently mused.

Bo kept perfect pace with the crazed woman that had appeared out of thin air. He would give her that she was fast but very sloppy. He wondered why in the world she had chosen to attack him and who in the world did she think she was taking him on. In a quick movement he gave her a surprise. He had moved his blade quickly landing a nasty blow to her arm. He rolled his eyes as she vanished just as fast as she had appeared. “Armature!” He yelled as she wiped his blade clean rolling his eyes. He slowly made his way to the palace as he noticed the glares and looks he received. Apparently he wasn’t welcomed here. The prince had assured him that the princess and
people would welcome him and be delighted to see him. The prince was apparently under false pretense of his welcome in the kingdom not that it honestly surprised him. The old greedy men the prince had as advisors would say anything to get what they wanted out of him.

He made his way to the palace wondering what else the day had in store for him. He could tell my the look of the guards at the palace he was less than welcome there. He made his way to the thrown room and waited keeping his hand as his side the whole time ready to defend himself again if need be. The ruler would hear from him about the random attack and the welcome of strangers to the kingdom.


Sakura stood at her balcony as she watched the display. She closed her eyes as she stood there hearing the heavy foot steps of Sebastiana. She smiled as she turned heading into her room. She knew that was where she was suppose to be. She smiled as he walked in. “You shouldn’t be here. Today is the celebration of the flowers. You should be out finding a young lady to ask to the dance tonight.” She said as she looked at him. She softly caressed his cheek as she walked to her cabinet and open it pulling out a blue pouch. She walked with grace and ease as she took his left hand placing the pouch in there. “Go back to your brothers. There is someone there who needs this to help with the pain and keep infection out. “ She said as she smiled at him sweetly. She couldn’t lie she had always loved him and had a soft spot for him. “Before you object my father isn’t here and I’m in charge. That is a order.” She said plainly not allowing him to object as she headed out of her room. She had saw the stranger fighting and the markings on the armor he was the knight of prince Lance. To why he was here she had a guess or two. She didn’t want Sebastian to worry or know the man was here. This was the same one who had attacked them just last year and had knocked him out leaving her to finish the man off witch she did with ease. Not that the knight would remember she knocked him out before he could see her face. She knew her guards would send him to the thrown room to await her. She honestly hoped that Sebastian wouldn’t take another girl but that wasn’t fair to him she knew. Besides he couldn’t love her if he knew what she really was. She was a monster no man alive could love one like her. Those where childish dreams that she had long banished to the corner of her soul that was left innocent. Her father had made her a weapon not something to love. Tonight she would earn her keep yet again.

Sebastian was surprised by what the princess said, about finding a girl for the Dance; he felt his heart flutter at her touch but outwardly showed nothing. He held the pouch, he knew she intended it for his sister, he had no idea how she knew, but she seemed to always have known what his sister did and never once called any sort of force against the young assassin. He was grateful for this, and now she was helping this way too, he nodded in acceptance to her order. He got to his feet as he walked out he paused in the doorway, it took courage but he didn’t care he turned. “I won’t find any young lady to dance with tonight, for the only flower I desire is out of my reach.” He gave another bow and went on his way pouch in hand; he walked past Michael who seemed to be meddling again.

Michael was surprised someone was being given dirty looks inside the palace as well as outside. Slinking against a wall he watched with ease as the man passed. He was no expert, okay he was, he could see the sword had recently had blood wiped from it and he knew whose blood it was. He had no right to be mad that this man had landed a blow on his sister, she was being sloppy, and perhaps she was tired. He would ask Jacob later, “So, who are you to warrant such venomous looks from these men?” he jokingly spoke. He could hear Sebastian running past in the opposite direction to Bo. As he passed his eyes followed him for only a moment before snapping back to Bo. “The princess is free to see you,” he jokingly added.

Vanessa lay asleep on Jacob’s bed now, he watched her sleeping she looked like an Angel, it was ironic and he knew it. It had been so long since he had last done it so he lay there beside his sister playing with her hair, all of the boys loved their little sister, and she was their pride and joy. He sighed slightly saddened that she had outgrown sleeping in their bed when a storm raged. The room door opened without knocking, which meant it was one of his room-mates or one of his brothers. The hand on his shoulder said his brother and Sebastian stood above him when he looked over. “Sorry I was remembering when she was this sweet awake.” Sebastian laughed handing him a pouch; he said it was from the princess for the wound. “That girl of yours has a way with knowing doesn’t she?” Sebastian’s cheeks flared, able to let his guard down round his brother he muttered “the princess is not my girl nor will she ever be; she is of a higher calling then ours.” Jacob nodded mixing the pouch content in to a medicine and forcing the sleepy Vanessa to drink it. He looked to Sebastian “We should let her rest, I heard there is a visitor today, she must have dismissed you for a reason, Vanessa can’t stay here though.” He got up and bowed to Sebastian “Please ask the princess to shelter our sister until she wakes?” Sebastian sighed. He picked up Vanessa in his arms she was so light he couldn’t help but laugh.

Sakura froze as she heard Sebastian. She reached out without thinking only finding air as she watched him walk away. She hung her head in silence as she stood there. He was the only person she wanted but the one person who would never see her as anything but or princess or if he knew her secret a monster. She collected herself as she put on her mask of innocence for her court and her guest. She had learned long ago to wear her mask with it she could be anything she wanted to be. She could hide the blood that stained her hands and face the rivers she had caused in her blood shedding. She moved from her room in a graceful walk that was more like a run though it looked like she was floating instead of walking. She walked to where Bo was and Michael as she arched a eye at Michael. The others in the room bowed at her entrance as she looked to Michael. "We do not tease our guest Michael even if they are unannounced and unwelcome here in our court. " She said as she took sides with Michael. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Bo. "After your failed attempt of kidnapping members of the Royal family and failing to do so, you are unwelcome here. Before you speak or your little spy's that are in my rafters you are welcome to stay here for the week. I will write you the letter you seek but I will not marry your prince. The foolish leader who has no backbone. And before you draw that sword little knight remember who's house your in. My advisers are that advisers and know their place among me. Instead of trying to kidnap royals to marry your prince why don't you change your allegiance or help him get ride of his advisers. Besides I have good mind to behead you for harming one of my citizens on your way in. Your sword is drenched in her blood. It was your fault you interrupted her practice. She is one of my bodyguards and it was to be another knight dressed in your armor to be there. So before you start with your complaints let me tell you mind. You are rude sir knight. You didn't send word to let us know ahead of time you where coming. Nor did you take into consideration the day and time at witch you came. You also insult my people with having your two women spy's hide up there in my rafters. And you dare come to my court and think you rule it. There is a inn not far from here you can get logging there if your nice. And I can't hold you here because of the others already here for our celebration. The man in the inn is a old friend and will look after your needs. Dismissed." She said not missing a beat as she turned abruptly leaving the others there. She headed to her study when she paused. She was just before her room and she heard someone in her room.

She moved with ease and stealth as she slipped into her room. She entered the room to find a hooded figure there looking through her things. She simply walked up behind the hooded figure and grabbed the bottom of the jaw in one quick motion twisting the head so fast that it snapped the hooded figures neck. Her eyes glowed with anger as she let the lifeless body drop to the floor. She left it there as she straighten back up her room cursing the hooded figure for everything she could. She then turned once her room was completely clean calling for Jacob. Of the brothers he was the only one who knew her secret. She locked her doors and would only let Jacob in. This was a matter between them. She walked to one end of her floor mat and simply rolled it up the man inside after she had removed the letter and the ring her uncle had given his hired assassin. The old wolf was up to his old tricks again. Tonight would be her night to get even with the old man and to get her revenge on the man. If one was here that meant there would be more tonight here. She needed Jacob to inform the others to help protect the people and to remove them discreetly. She didn't want anyone knowing it was her uncle trying to kill all the other royal families and that he was the reason why her father wasn't coming back any time soon. Her father had been dead for a very long time. He had been the one to insist she join the order and learn her best how to be a killer. She had made a vow on his Katina that she would avenge his death that day after he died in her arms leaving her alone. The man here was just a pawn her and the advisers had made so the citizens wouldn't know the deceit of her uncle and wouldn't live in fear. She walked to her closet and placed her hand on the secret compartment door. It lighted up as a picture of a Anubis fighter appeared in the center then open reveling her secret armor. She quickly dressed as she washed away the painted face she wore reveling her true self for once. The other was just a mask. She was happy to be free from it if but for a moment. She removed Sakura and awoke as Fox the real woman and girl beneath the false mask her advisers had given her to be. But then who would want to know their beloved princess was the monster that killed entire families in one night staining the rivers red with their blood. Her royal marking where now hidden only her sky blue eyes shown after she removed the contacts that had hide them. She walked back to where the dead man laid hidden discreetly in the middle of the rug. Tonight she would finished her blow to her uncle. To bad for him he let his lady and some of his valued friends take cover in a castle of his not to far from here. Tonight she would paint it red with their blood and place their heads on her mantle.

Bo shifted his eyes hearing the strange man. He arched a brow as he saw another one passed almost making him take a double take. The two looked alike from what he saw they had to be related. He turned as he heard the princess and stared at her for a moment lost in her beauty. She was very beautiful indeed. His mouth fell open though as she rather frankly put him in his place and didn't seem to hold back. He had never met someone so willing to stand up to him. He reached for his sword without thinking as he heard her mention the name of his prince. Though he froze as he also heard her speak of Rose and Lilly that where high above in the rafters. He wondered how the strange young princess knew such things. He kept looking to see where the men where that where feeding her the information. But there was none to be honest there where no advisers around to speak of. At first his temper had began to flair but by the end he was in a state of shock. He just stood there as she walked away not sure what to do or how to act. This was the first time anyone had stood up to him and the first time anyone had known his intent of a visit without him telling them and knowing that the girl where here. This girl wasn't normal and she wasn't afraid to lead and to let her view be known. But it was her eyes that had his attention. She was a fighter he wanted so badly to draw his sword and fight with her. She would be a worthy adversary. He could tell that the female that attacked him was apparently being protected by the princess and had not been instructed to attack. But but he could also tell that it would be over her royal dead body before he or the girls got near that girl or anyone else in the kingdom. He just simply grinned as he chuckled giving a bow. His eyes then looked up to the rafters. "I like her. No wonder other suitors want come near the kingdom. And why men are afraid of the kingdom, with a princess like that you need no army. Beautiful and deadly shame though someone will have to teach her to bow though and to heed." He said as he turned heading out the door making sure all the people presence heard his last commit.

Rose and Lilly took note of what the Princess had said as they waited to revel themselves. They simply jumped from the rafters appearing just behind Bo. He was their commander after all and kept that in mind as they traveled with him. The white haired girls stared at their superior as they both looked to one another shaking their heads. They turned and stared at where the princess had vanished to. Rose turned back as she looked at Bo as he headed out the door. "I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. You should however hold your tongue though in the presence of her servants and people." She said as she turned looking back to where her twin stood giving her a nod. Lilly was the one to speak as Bo vanished from sight going to the inn. She looked to her beloved sister and twin as she sighed. "The angel of white with hair so fine as white as the snow it's self. A beauty unlike any other. Though be warn what she becomes at night. A monster in blue and white the monster of ice who paints the world in red by night. It's her I'm positive. She will help us and Lance. So this is where she hides no wonder the others can't find her. I saw those eyes and what laid behind them. Fox is home for now. " She said as she grinned. looking to her sister once more. " Strange such beautiful things can be so deadly. Bo is wrong about her in a fight he would die instantly against her as so we would. Though what ashame none here know what a weapon they hold here. They think it to be the Raven doing the killings. Poor girl she did leave herself open to it though." Lilly said as she cut her eyes to Michael. "I hope your little Raven didn't get to hurt by our dear Bo. Maybe next time she should pick on someone more her speed. She really should get pointers from your princess." She said grinning as she planted the seeds of deception. That is all they needed. Just to plant the seeds that would lead to the destruction of Sakura aka Fox. She would have no choice but to marry their prince because no one else would take a well known assassin as a bride. When the truth of her abilities got out her kingdom would disown her. How would they like to know the rivers of blood she has made throughout your young life. Or the fact that at the age of four she had killed her first man when she lost her father. Or that the Advisers where the master Assassin's of the order of Anubis and had trained her since the age of four making her their prized jewel and that the king was a fake. Or that she protected the most wanted heads in all the realms Raven herself. Even from the Advisers Raven was protected it seemed. The thoughts made the pair giggle as they turned heading after Bo. It wouldn't be long they would have Raven and Fox the most prized heads in all of the lands. Fox for their Queen and Raven for one well and as weapons to use as they pleased. If only poor little Bo knew the real plan he of course would be killed because he wouldn't be so loyal then.

Michael listened to exchange and when the two girls mentioned his sister he chuckled softly, he didn’t care about that nor what they thought had occurred that morning. “Raven isn’t hurt, she got exactly what she needed, but what that is… well that is none of your business.” He shook his head. This time it was Jacob who walked past, having been summoned he ran to her chamber. Michael didn’t care for what they said in most ways merely smiling as he listened. The triplets would remain loyal to the princess even if what this pair said was true.

Jacob walked in stretching looking at the rug. “Ah cleanup, who was our guest tonight?” he jested, it was his way of keeping a positive outlook through it, he picked up the rug slinging it over his shoulder. He watched as she moved about. “Going out, should I lock the doors?” he asked moving towards them. “What time should I expect you back, will you be attending the festival?” He ditched the rug by the door ready to prep it as an infiltrator caught by a guard and killed, which was done easily enough thanks to that fact she hadn’t damaged the body and merely broke his neck for the death blow. He waited for her response before going on his way.

Vanessa had woken up and was heading to the inn, she didn’t care that she saw the man from before there she headed to the inn keeper. She smiled sweetly holding out a hand to him, her injured arm hidden but scrapes all over her body, some of these were not covered. She looked to Bo then to the innkeeper. “Morris, I’m tired but I don’t have my pay yet, do me a favor please?” the innkeeper chuckled watching her pout and twirl her hair in a finger. He eventually caved and muttered, “sure, sure but you better pay me this time Nessa,” she nodded looking at Bo. She was a great actress and muttered, “who’s the new guy…” she said with a flare of smirk on her lips. She wanted to pick a fight with him knowing everyone here would turn on him quicker than a snake in a trap.

"I will be back for it. If not I'm sure your sister can easily pose as me. They found his lady she isn't far from here. It's time to stop this blood blood bath. I am sick of fighting and killing. I want to for once close my eyes and sleep in peace. I need you and Michael to keep a eye out as well as the other guards. " she said as she walked to the balcony. She paused as she turned looking over her shoulder. "Why do you put up with me? I am monster. Not that I choose to be. I have killed entire families yet you don't fear me you only smile and treat me with kindness." She said as she peered out the window. "I just want you to know I appreciate it. " She said as she walked out onto the balcony. "Jacob thank you, and please keep Sebastian safe. Please lock the doors. " She said as she thought about Sebastian. She hung her head wishing she could just stay with him and celebrate instead of her mission. "Do you think it will every be over Jacob? Should I just stop fighting what am I fighting for anyways. No one would care if I just vanished. Though if I did one thing to displease them I would be dead and they would hate me. Why should I fight for people who care nothing about the price to be free?" She said as she stood there.

Rose appeared in the inn as she saw the woman making a fool of herself with Bo. She walked up to where Bo was grabbing his side and pulling him against her. Her long white hair dancing about his body as it settled softly. She gave a brilliant smile as she looked to the inn keeper. "Please can we have two rooms." She said as her eyes cut to the woman rolling her eyes at the girl as she could almost laugh. The girl wasn't anything compared to her. She looked to Bo who now held her back softly kissing his forehead as she thanked the inn keeper giving him the money. She then looked to the girl as she gave the keys to Bo and watched him as he walked up the stairs to the room. "A pleasure to meet you. I'm Rose." She said as she gave the girl a warm smile. "That is my Bo. He doesn't socialize with many women. I'm sorry I hope you understand. " She said as she turned heading after him knowing he was going to bed.

Lilly appeared right behind the woman as she stared at her. "What my sister was trying to say is keep your fangs away from him. He's taken and has no love interest with someone like you. Besides the way you look you wouldn't last a second in battle with him or any of us. I suggest you go to your little room and tend to your wounds before they become infected. " She said as she moved past the girl leaving her there.

Vanessa laughed and pouted not actually caring she looked to the inn keeper. “Ah Morris are there many girls like that around here?” she’d shake her head. Unable to hide another chuckle she added “Surely they must have some hint that I have no romantic interest in anyone I have yet to meet.” The innkeeper nodded patting her head causing her to relax slightly; she had wanted to his the girls for their rude behavior. She turned “Ah right, Morris, the festival tonight… I need a dress; the usual though.” She smiled leaning on her arm on the bar. “I will be dancing with my brothers again.” It wasn’t that she hadn’t been asked she just hadn’t accepted. It didn’t make her mad hearing what they said about how she looked. She purposefully went out of her way to appear weak in comparison to them all, to compact her body, in actually she didn’t have any fat on her beside her chest obviously. The inn keeper nodded in response to asking about the dress. She went in to her room, the same one she’d used many times, she saw the letter awaiting her arrival and began to read through it. She felt the tears rise and choke her. She fell to her knees the letter dropping to her side. The door was closed and she was alone. This meant to her that she could let the tears freely fall out of her eyes. Her mother had died; her world didn’t feel right without her. She had been issued a command to not show her full potential, she’d been training since she could crawl to become the best fighter there was. She had only been bested by one fighter, the princess. She intended it to remain this way. Most the wounds were self-inflicted or inflicted to let someone think they could one better her. She knew how to out-smart all intelligence agents; it was a big part of her role in this. Knowing the room wasn’t bugged and her crying inaudible. She watched her surroundings grabbing the letter and shoving it in to her pocket. She recomposed herself, she wanted to kill the men responsible for her mother’s suffering but her duty was to the princess. As fox had instructed it to be. With a deep breath she pushed her hair back wiping the marks off her face; it was someone else’s blood but made the wounds look her own. She cleaned off her skin spotless, she stared at her reflection. She didn’t feel like a flower, and this festival made her feel even less feminine. She shook her head awaiting the dress, writing as she waited.

Jacob listened to the princess’ words and shook his head “you are no monster my lady…” he looked to the door he was to lock. “I remember being a child, barely 13 years old, Sebastian, Michael and I were still training yet a 10 year old bested me in a fight.” He laughed at the memory. “It turns out she was the princess and she spared my life when one time I stood out of line and was to be executed, no monster spares a life.” He listened to her “one day peace will come and I can not say if will live to that day but if you stop fighting my lady I can assure you that none of us will, for your actions keep us not just free but alive. I would care if you vanished as would many others, when these actions come to light many men will still stand at your side and protect you.” He bowed down on one knee his head low to her. “My life is yours to do with as you command, even if I must lay it on the blade of the enemy.” He got up locking the door heading towards a secret passage with the corpse. “You don’t need to ask me to keep my brother safe, I will do that with the same vigilance I protect you.”

Sebastian saw her door was locked and presuming the princess was out he turned walking a different way, his sister had got up and headed off moments before, so he headed to the inn to find her. He talked to Morris who shared that this is where the foreigners were staying. He headed upstairs to the room he knew she’d be using. Morris had handed him a dress, it was beautiful black and silver. He knew his sister would look beautiful in it, he knocked and then let himself in. “Vanessa, hey, little one…” she looked up and smiled ot him as he held out the dress. “I think you will look wonderful tonight, hurry up and get changed so I can see my beautiful little sister dressed up.” She frowned muttering. “I’m not a child Sebastian so stop is okay?”

Fox closed her eyes as she leaped from the balcony. She quickly made her way into the forest. Without hesitation he found her beloved steed tied up waiting for her. She quickly mounted him and road off towards the mountains. Her mind raced and played flashbacks of her life through out this point. If she had the choice or the wish she would choose to be a commoner anything but what she was. That way she wouldn't be the monster and she could be with Sebastian or even then would he be able to love her she wondered. She road hard and long into the night as a sudden storm picked up further she got into the mountains. The snow was moving so fast it almost made it impossible to see. She dismounted her horse and let him go as she made her way to the castle. As the storm died down she noticed that something was wrong here. She didn't move from the trees as she watched the castle. Even from far away the blood about the castle exterior was apparent. She could smell a trap all over the place as she just watched. She didn't like this one bit. Before she could move fast enough she found herself flying through the air as pain ran through her body. She hit many tree limbs on the way down crashing to the earth. Fox laid there uncontentious lost in the middle of no where once again alone . Before she fell uncontentious the fear she felt when her father had died in her arms came back.

Bo left the girls there as he headed down and gave his apologizes to the inn keeper for Rose and Lilly. He then walked out to the main part of the city where it looked the party was about to start. He noticed though there was a abscess. He didn't see the princess. This was very unusually and something was right. He couldn't help but look around to see if anyone else noticed. He could tell that the people where worried to. He was going to just dismiss it when he heard the sounds of frantic horse hoofs coming. He left the party as he saw the beautiful black and white horse fly past him heading to inn. Then to the palace it was if the horse was trying to find someone to get help but for who he wondered. He followed the horse as it stopped outside of the palace and went crazy trying to get someone's attention. He had come here for business but for some reason he had a feeling he was needed here for more than that.

Jacob didn’t even hesitate when he saw the steed. He rushed out of the palace grabbing a hold of the beast and jumping on to its back. Taking the reins in hand he trotted it, calming it beforehand obviously, up to Michael. “Michael get the men and follow me when you are prepared, I’m riding ahead.” He knew Michael would trust him on this even if he was a hit man all he had to do was put in contacts, and he too was Jacob. He turned towards the gate pausing, “don’t let Sebastian follow, he is to keep the kingdom calm,” Michael nodded and with this Jacob let he stead lead him. Pushing it to run faster than it should, he was aware this might break the horse, that it could maim the beast if he didn’t let it rest yet he knew it meant something had happened to her and he would be damned if he let some horse’s welfare stop him from getting there in time.

Michael didn’t care if Bo saw what he did, bring out the small cases of contacts from his pocket he popped in the brown ones before replacing them to his pocket, walking up to the closest guard. “I got a Message from Sebastian, we are to take a small force, I will lead, prepare this at once.” The guard saluted him mistaking him for Jacob before running off to prepare the force. Michael turned to Bo “Are you finding your stay comfortable, I heard your companions caused a display at the inn;”

Sebastian remained with his sister at the inn before heading with her to the celebration, he saw the many men who looked at her she twirled, her hair and makeup perfect, but only to be what was expected of someone who was taught most of what she knew of being a woman by the princess. The dress was fitted at the top where it was black and hugged her chest, silver trimming on the top and a silver band around her hips before it changed in to the skirt which was made in such a way that when she spun it caught the air and puffed out slightly, but when still it felt down in folds to her knees, A silver trimming on the skirt too. She wore black heels with it, a silver necklace and silver earrings. She saw the horses but said nothing to Sebastian, she knew he was supposed to stay here with her, not that she planned to stay there at all. Once Sebastian left her to gather drinks she slunk off. Not bothering to change she got on her own stead and followed her brother in secret.

Bo turned as he heard the man. "I'm sorry for their display. But what are you going to do with women. You can't kill them and you can't get rid of them." He said as he caught sight of the girl he had saw in the inn. He wondered why such as beautiful woman was running away from the party. He looked back to Michael as he gave him a bow of his head. "Good evening. And I will have a word with them though you may have better luck than I with those two." He said as he turned leaving the man be. He slowly made his way through the crowed as he kept up with beautiful woman. He followed to the edge of town. He smiled as he heard the sounds of hoof beats and then saw his horse. He mounted the horse who still had his gear on and followed the young woman. He knew that by now she would know she was being followed but as he smelt the smell of blood he thought it may not be such a bad idea that he did. He paused once he reached the ridge just above her peering down at the castle and the blood that was every where. He felt sick he had killed his fair share but this was monstrous. The deaths where to make a statement of some short to someone. He had seen assassin work and this was not it. A mad person yes. The different body parts where about the castle's exterior along with the head on steaks in the front yard. He didn't know why the strange woman was here but one thing was for certain they weren't alone there. He could see movement near the castle.

She had a moment of realization, she had run off in such a hurry she was still in the dress, she knew she was being followed but now was not the time to worry about such things, tying the horse she turned “I’ll be back boy, stay safe” rubbing his nose before rushing to be behind a bush, she rushed getting changed folding up the glamorous dress, now in her real gear she headed back to the horse securing her dress. She had also seen the movement and had at first presumed it was her brother and his forces but they had to take a set path and they left after her so she should have beaten them here. It was too much movement for Jacob alone who she had left behind a few minutes back. She looked at the castle walls, even the display of body parts didn’t make her stomach flip. She moved forward scaling the wall with ease, if Fox was nearby she would have to risk displaying her full skills to make sure she was safe.” Keeping to the shadows she moved around the place, avoiding pools of blood to jump from place to place searching.

The poor horse collapsed to the ground outside the castle and Jacob felt his stomach flip and he almost threw up. Turning to horse he muttered. “You did well, now rest up.” He moved down towards the house in time to see Raven scale in through a window. He cussed then he saw Bo too, unable to stop himself he looked at the window and hissed. “Raven… if you don’t get down here right now… I’ll” it was obvious she wasn’t near the window anymore. He’d stamp. “Father is going to kill me…” he knew from how the place looked he couldn’t waltz in, he was a skilled fighter but head on those who did this could probably rip him up. He turned to Bo and bowed his head. “Please… Don’t tell anyone of what you saw… even those girls you travel with, but may I ask your assistance two skilled swords are better than one.”

Bo gave a bow of his head as he jumped from his horse. He softly patted the horse. "Go hide till you are called for and rest. Keep a eye on this one." He spoke kindly to the horse. He then turned his attention to Jacob. "Understood." He said as he pulled out his long sword happy he was still in full armor for once. He took the woman's lead that the man called Raven as he burst open the door just in front of them. He then proceeded to move through the gate. He looked around as he saw how quite it was. He could tell they where being watched. He kept his eyes scanning wanting to know where the enemy was. He didn't like how quite things where. That was never a good sign. He softly picked up a fallen shard of the wall and threw it out into the open yard. He just stared as he watched arrow's come from every witch way. He was correct the enemy was still there and waiting. He just smiled as he pulled his large black shield from his back and held it with his right arm. "Hope you like hunting ." He said out loud as he rolled into the courtyard. He used his shield for protection from the arrows as he acted as a distraction. He would help Raven and the man out as well as he could.

He cursed as one of the arrow's went near his head. He quickly slashed a row of five down to the ground with his sword as he glared up at the man who had sent them. "Enough" He yelled as he charged at the wall scaling up the boxes against it landing just in front of the man. In one quick motion he separated the man's head from his body as he used his shield to protect himself now making his way to the other men that dared to shoot at him.

Rose sat near the solider barracks in her long evening gown. Bo had apparently found it for her and had slipped it into her room. He was a strange man she thought as she sat on the edge of the little pond near the barracks. Her sister was else where to be seen or heard from and Bo had vanished. She was stuck in this strange place alone as always. She did feel bad for the mean things she had said but that was her job rather she liked it or not. If she had her way she would be a artiest or a healer. She would do something good with her life instead of the government's dirty work. The celebration was beautiful she had to admit. Though all she wanted was to be else where.

Sebastian had noticed the girl sat near the barracks when he had been searching for his siter, she looked almost sad and he walked over., in his usual friendly matter he spoke to her. “You must be the guests my sister spoke of, it is a pleasure to meet you, and where is your companion, is he not dancing with you today?” He knew the princess would want someone to keep their guests happy regardless of what their goal was. “I am the princess’ bodyguard; well one of them, I had the night off to spend with my little sister but I believe she has made off in to the night like many times before. If you are alone I could show you around.” offering his hand to her graciously.

Jacob had blocked the arrows with his shield and was surprised at how agile the other male was. He saw Raven though acting as a pincer on the men running form the other side. She clashed swords with the knight before jumping back. Finally realizing who it was who had followed her she sounded shock, “You…” jumping away from his sword she flipped over on one hand skidding back. Then something caught her eye. “JACOB!” she jumped from the platform grabbing her brother’s shield as she landed forcing him to block a bow he had been too busy watching them to have noticed. He seemed stunned and she glared. “Never break your focus, father taught you that so don’t do it.” He nodded at his little sister who seemed to turn in to someone else when under her disguise. Then she was after the man who had fired an arrow at him, snapping his neck before kicking him over the railing. She looked to Bo, then her brother knowing that he would be safe with Bo, or at least presuming it she rushed off. “FOX!” she yelled purposefully hoping to draw attention to her before disappearing in to the shadows.

Jacob turned to Bo, “I must admit I’m glad I asked you to come in with me you are an impressive fighter…” He still felt weird being scolded by his little sister. “I ask you keep all this to yourself though, every last bit of what happens here, I know your alliance isn’t to us but still…” sighs. “It would be easier on everyone.”

Bo arched a eye as he stared at Jacob apparently the man's name. " The fact that your looking for the princess Sakura , who is the great assassin known as Fox. Me I'd never tell that information my little sister would kill me. That is if she could remember me." He said as he glared seeing another arrow coming right for them quickly disposing of it by cutting it down. He leaped to the other tower as he quickly disposed of another corpse. He moved quickly as he followed the path of the shooting arrows quickly disposing of all the enemy that dared to shoot at him. He turned as he noticed something bright shining off in the trees. "I found something."He yelled so the others could hear him. He leaped to the ground as he paused for a moment as he rose to his feet cursing the heavy armor he wore as he walked off the pain heading in the direction he had saw the light.

He froze once he found the source of the light. Well the princess had been there. The armor laid on the ground the royal crest embedded in the ground. He closed his eyes as he picked up the crest holding it up in the light. There was no mistaking it. That was the same crest the girl had worn that was the princess to meet with him. He looked at the armor as he himself remembered the armor and the girl. "She was here and was hit. There is no blood trail away she was taken..."He said as he froze seeing hoof prints frozen in the snow since it had stopped snowing finally.' Look there." He said as he followed the path back down to the mountains. "This only keeps getting stranger."

Fox ran as fast as she could through the streets. She leaped to the roofs of the houses till she came to the strange building that she knew was safe. She quickly fell through the open window at the top of it. She quickly tumbled into the shadows. She scanned the area and saw to her delight no one was there. She quickly made her way through the large place to the room that for some reason she knew. She wasn't sure how she knew the place or the room or who she was. She jumped as she saw her reflection in the mirror. The wound on her shoulder was awful and she looked like she had fell in a pig pin. She walked to the washing bowl and cleaned herself up saving her wound for last. She bit her lip as she cleaned her wound. She then carefully mixed the different herbs together making a past that she smoothed over it.

After bandaging up her shoulder she walked to the dresser and pulled out a males shirt and pants. She quickly slipped in them. She let out a sigh with how big they where on her thin frame as she wondered when was the last time she had ate. She pulled out a old shirt from one of the draws and cut it as she fixed the pants and shirt with strips she had made from the shirt and a hair tie for herself. She cleaned up her mess as she stared at the picture of the three brothers and the little sister. They weren't her family she thought though she wasn't sure right now. She smiled as she read the name on the chest at the foot of the bed where the man's armor was kept. "Sebastian " She said as she smiled for some reason loving how it sounded. She walked to the bed and curled up on it drifting off to sleep. She knew for some reason he would protect her in this strange place she had no memory of.


Rose looked up as she smiled. "No, I don't want to be a bother to you. You have all been so kind. I however have not been and I am truly sorry for that. I just don't know who to trust anymore and how not to be well protective off everyone I love. Your kingdom is beautiful. The princesses is lucky to have a body guard like you. Maybe another night you could show me around. I need to get to bed." She said as she smiled honestly for the first time in a long time. She rose as her eyes moved to the roof of the barracks. "Did you just see that?" She asked not sure what she had saw. She was sure that something had just fell into the solider barracks. She just stared at it for a moment before shaking her head and heading to the inn. She walked up to her room and went to bed not bothering chaining out of her dress.

Sebastian didn’t protest to the girl leaving, he had seen it to. Once she was out of sight, sword in hand he snuck up to the room to see her laying on his bed. He let his sword relax at his side, something didn’t seem right about her and he sat down on the edge of the bed silent. He would not wake her if she needed to rest but he propped his sword up in front of him waiting for her to awake naturally. He stared at the picture near his bedside and smiled. “Where did you run off to little bird…” he whispered seeing the big smile of his sister looking back at him.

Jacob nodded to Bo as his sister, covered in blood but seemingly happy to be so ran out towards them, he turned to her. “Michael is on his way here disguised as me, send him back tell them we found her and she is safe.” She looked confused and he frowned. “It maybe be a lie but it is one worth telling…” He glanced to Bo. “Make sure Raven returns to the castle, I am sure you can figure out why but it is what needs to be done.” She shook her head.
“I am helping you find fox…” she began till he cut her off.
“On our father’s life you are not, you are going back and he is taking you if he has to force you and you will do your duty!” she froze and hung her head wounded by her brother’s words. “I shall remain and seek out her path, if I am to die; Michael is to take my place by the princess’ side when she returns. It was decided not that long ago…” his eyes looked to Bo. “Thank you for all your help, I will take it from here.”

Bo looked at Jacob then to Raven then back. He was confused by now. He stared at the pair then looked to his blade still in his hand. He closed his eyes. "I'm sorry to do this please forgive me." He said as he quickly bashed the flat end of the blade against Jacob's head. He caught him as he fell helping him to the horse. He put his blade away as he mounted his horse and looked down to where Raven was. "The tracks lead to the city. From the size I'd say it's who your looking for. Bring her armor and lets get searching there. Besides your brother needs rest apparently." He said not missing a beat as he acted like nothing had happen.

Fox didn't move or open her eyes. "You can put that away. I will not harm you. " she said in a calm voice. She slowly turned over as she closed her eyes tighter as the pain coursed through her body from the arrow attack. Her shoulder had begun to bleed through the bandages she had made as she finally open her crystal blue eyes. They met Sebastian's as she felt her heart race. She wasn't sure who he was but some how she knew she knew him. Her eyes peered deep into Sebastian's eyes as she could tell she cared for him more than a friend or family. Why had she forgot him. Why didn't he seem to know who she was. She herself couldn't answer those questions now. Her eyes shifted to her wound as she tried to sit up knowing she needed to change the bandages again and hopefully get the wound to stop bleeding. "Please Sebastian I'm not going to hurt you. You of all people should know that my knight." She said as she smiled at him masking any pain she did feel from him.

He smiled a she spoke “it’s here in case I needed to protect you, not in case you hurt me, my princess.” He got to his feet putting it down. “I know it is inappropriate to say but do you need assistance, your wound.” He moved to a bucket of water changing it for a fresh one nearby before heating it on the fire. Moving the warm water and rag to her he smiled holding them up. “I promise I won’t look, as i would rather you didn’t get an infection so please clean it thoroughly.“ Once more turning his back to her out of respect unless she agreed to let him help, in which case he would do so but be very gentle about it.

Raven jumped when he struck her brother and sighed “um… thanks…” nodding before turning and running after the tracks carrying the armor. Eventually Jacob woke up, apparently a bash on the head not taking him out for long he muttered. “I can’t believe you did that sir, I do not need rest I need my sister to stay out of this mess…”

Bo just glared as he rolled his eyes. He looked down to where his horse's eyes met his and he nodded. Without a word Bo simply threw his fest back knocking the man back out. He paused as he caught the man before he feel. He pulled out a bottle and rag shoving the rag in Jacob's mouth and tying another around it. He then put the bottle Jacob's nose to ensure this time he would be out for a long while. Once finished he looked to Raven as they neared the City. "Use your Assassin skills next time he wake up. Another bow from me he want be able to walk for a week. He is already going to have headaches for a good while. It is nothing don't mention it. I understand where you come from and where he does. But we can't leave here there it isn't safe alone." He said as he road.

Fox stared at him as she was confused. "I am no princess. I.....please could you help me if you don't mind." She said as she found it hard to stay wake. She held on to the bed as she found it a major task to do just that. She didn't understand why he felt it was inappropriate to help. She wasn't some rich lady and she needed help. Besides he had helped her before she knew though she couldn't remember. "You are my love why would it be inappropriate?" She said as she fell forward loosing contentious again.

Raven smiled to Bo, she moved her brother away from him “just leave him…” hiding him down an alley. “Here, he will be fine, no-one would dare touch a knight…” she’d wink to him throwing hi m the armor. “Hold this…” before he can protest she has scaled the wall by jumping between the two next to each other up to the roof. Looking down at him, “I can see which way she went but… why are you helping me? Aren’t you the enemy?” due to everyone being at the festival she didn’t really have to yell to be heard from the roof.

Sebastian was surprised by her comment, “what…” he was sure it was his princess, she had called him her knight and the look was uncanny. Then she said something else that literally made his cheeks flare up. “Your love?” he shook away the burning sensation in time to catch her he moved to pull her over his lap. Tending to the wound he couldn’t help but think of what she had said, perhaps her memory was lost and this was the only connection she could make to knowing him. Maybe one of his brother’s had something with her, no that couldn’t be it. He watched her sleeping face and moved forward to kiss her, forcing himself not to he sighed. Sitting on the bed with her in his arms on his lap. Waiting for her to wake again now he had changed the bandages and cleaned the wound.

Michael disguised as Jacob had actually apparently got the message and returned with the men to the castle, before removing the contacts to be ‘Michael’ again, he thought about what he had overhead from the 2 girls before. He would talk to his brothers about it at some point.

Fox slept soundly there with him. She shuttered in her sleep as she began to cry as she screamed out for her father. Tears streamed down her face as she laid there lost in the nightmare. She slowly open her eyes as she saw he was still there. She smiled softly as she reached up softly caressing his face with her good arm. "I am sorry for worrying you. " She said unable to to sit up again yet. She just smiled as she stared up at him. Memories of him flooded her mind as she smiled. "You saved me from the black knight last year. And tonight you wouldn't go to the dance. I have been waiting for you to ask me. I thought you would by now." She said as she only remembered him. "Tonight is the flower celebration right?" She said wanting to make sure she was correct. She wasn't sure of much right now but she knew who he was.

Bo just nodded his head as he looked to where Jacob was. "What do you want me to do?" He said as he looked up at her. "Hey Raven, please keep yourself safe. You look to beautiful in that dress to get hurt. Besides I'd like to have a dance with you if you wouldn't mind. I am no enemy. That I can assure you.

Originally she found herself flustered by his comment not many had commented on her looking beautiful but she forced herself to frown. “I think your girlfriends might have an issue with that…” she said with a smirk. “Follow me with that armor I’ll scout and we can bring to her as soon as possible, it will be hard for me to agilely track her with such bulk weight.” Moving forward and jumping from building to building with ease she noticed the track leading to the barracks.

Sebastian was at first confused by what she was saying, she was right in her memories but still he had never heard anything like that before. No hint of her actually liking him back, yet here she was saying it so plain. “I’ve heard your nightmares before, they pass... and yes tonight is the flower celebration, but I didn’t ask you because it wasn’t appropriate; I’m just a knight.” He muttered watching her. “I didn’t ask anyone to go to the dance with me because I don’t want to dance anybody but you. I took my sister as usual and she ran off. I think she may be looking for you, are you feeling somewhat better?”

Bo just laughed as he heard her commit. He rolled almost falling off his horse as his horse looked as if it was laughing with him. He paused as he looked up at her trying to get his serious face back that he always had till now. She was the first person in years to make him laugh. "Wait, your kidding right? Rose and Lilly? HAHAHAHA" He broke out into laughter again just at the thought. "Oh your good. Please I'm not desperate and most defiantly not their type as they aren't mine. They are nice girls and pretty don't get me wrong. But they are more like my sisters and by no means are we lovers. The three of us kill each other or try to every day." He said as he regained control of himself trying not to laugh again at the thought. "Rose only did that and so did Lily to keep you away because we are on a mission. The two can't help it they are females and they think I'm their brother. " He said as he kept following her below.

She stared at him as she didn't understand what him being a knight had to do with anything. "Your a knight and I'm sad excuse for a assassin so what. I don't see where that means anything. It is only a job and a title. That doesn't mean it lets you decide when and who you can dance with and love. " She said as she tried to sit up. She moved over so he had room to stretch out as she gently laid back down. She laid there in silence as she closed her eyes pondering on the matter. "My name is fox I am daughter of Anubis or the wolf clan. You are Sebastian my best friend and the man I love. But you don't even know me..." She said as she closed her eyes and slowly sat up. "I take it then you are nothing than a friend to me and I am foolish. Just lead me to my room and you will never hear from me again. I am sure I have training shortly." She said as she refused to look at him. She hide the tears that where building up on the inside. How could he not know what she felt for him. She told him she loved him just now. Why did he act like she was some strange person he didn't know. She got up quickly as she stumbled to the door way she didn't wait for his help as she slowly made her way down the hall getting out of there as fast as she could. She couldn't let anyone see her cry not even him. The pain of her shoulder was nothing compared to the pain she felt that he didn't even really know her. She had always loved him. What was so important about him being a knight and her a assassin that he couldn't be with her. Maybe the elders where right maybe assassins couldn't be loved only hated and feared. Either way she had training to get to and Sebastian to run from.

Sebastian’s eyes widened as he listened to her talk, so she did only remember things here and there. He didn’t care if she just called herself fox or admitted who she was without noticing it he ran after her grabbing her and pulling her to him. “I’ll explain everything if you will listen, I love you also so don’t walk away from me like this.” He managed to blurt out before she could get too far.

“You may be an assassin but you are also my princess, you are no sorry excuse of one either.” He didn’t release her of make any move to. “I saved you that night and have served by your side every day since but not because I am loyal to the crown, only you.” He laughed slightly; “You have no training but I should get you to your room in case someone looks in to it.” Moving he picks her up carrying her bridal style back to the barracks wrapping her in a blanket before picking her up again and carrying her towards the princess’ room. It was then he caught sight of Raven. “little sister…” he said as she dove to the ground barely feet in front of him.

“Sebastian, have you seen Fox, I was tracking her this far and…” she looked at the person he was carrying and he smiled.
“Ah, someone from the dance she fell asleep at the barracks I am taking her home.” Moving to cover her face more with the blanket he had her covered in. “What do you need with Fox?”

"Ah right, she’s my teacher remember, so I was worried I saw she had been wounded and was bringing her armor to her."

“Leave it in my barracks I will deal with it.” For the first time he knew his sister was trying to figure out if she was talking to the right brother. Not because she couldn’t tell them apart perhaps because one of the others knew that fox and his princess were the same and he wasn’t supposed to know. His sister nodded slowly backing up.

She figured Bo had followed as she asked and took the armor off him leaving it at her brother’s barracks bed. Taking the chance to change back in to her dress she smirked. “Oh your ‘sisters’ made it perfectly clear I wasn’t good enough for the likes of you.” She said with a spin smiling up to Bo she blew him a kiss. “Thanks for the help mister knight.” Going to walk away from him.
