Unbreakable

*She woke up for someone saying her name over and over.*

*"Brina, wake up we have to leave now!!" It was her oldest brother Ilias. She rubbed her eyes.*

*"What?"*

*"No time, you have to run okay? Kai is waiting, do not stop for anyone."*

*"Where is mommy?" His face darkened, but he still gave her a weak smile.*

*"She will come later. Now run, okay?" She nodded. They heard someone coming up the stairs.*

*"There is no time..." her brother said with a broken voice, he opened the secret*
tunnel and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

*"I love you sister, if you love me run and find kai." She just stared at him until he took his sword, closed the door and left before anyone could enter her room......Now she ran like never before. She came to the end of the tunnel and opened the small door that was just her size. She saw many bodies but ran past them until she saw a familiar face...*

"*Father?" She whispered, as her eyes filled with tears.*

*"Brina!" She heard kai shouting at her, then she felt him grabbing her arm and pulled her away, running.*

*They ran so far nobody could follow them. She was crying now.*

*"Father he is dead."she said, it was also likely that her mother and big brother were also dead.*

*"Don't cry Brina,please, for me..." kai said. He wasn't much older than her but he was stronger than her. They were sitting at the edge of the forest when a man, no older than 30, kneeled next to them.*

*"What happened? Did you hurt her young boy?"*

*"No sir, she hurt her ankle " kai said with a confident voice.*

*"Where are your parents?" The man asked.*
Kai was silent and so was Azar.

*"Oh I see....I'm sorry...come with me.I have food and warm clothes for you." And so they met him....the master of Assassins.*

They had been at the keep for few weeks already and the other kids had the habit of picking up on her, but Kai was always there to defend her even tho she tried to fight back but it was no use against group of people while she was just 7 years old and kai was two years older, as Kai was a natrual talent in sword fighting he quickly gained the respect of his age group. Azar trained hard every day and always gave everything she got yet it wasn't enough for the teachers, as she was an Elve she and Kai had to work harder among humans to gain their place there as anyone who was useles was to be killed and it was said to every new comer too.

One year had passed and she was eight and her test was coming closer, she didn't know what it was nobody knew in what they were going to be tested but she made sure that she was ready for anything by training all day and not wasting an hour, as she went back sleeping quarters she fell to sleep almost immediately. One morning as she reached under her bed for her father's dagger....it was gone....she looked at the clock and realized she didn't have time to look for it as the morning check was in a half an hour, she quickly made her bed and did her morning routine but as she was passing by the beds back to her own to wait she saw a glimpse of a golden dagger in Shuto's hands and she turned to him
"Give it back!" She growled at him "I don't think so this will get me great money on the market " he told her grinning. "I said give it back Shuto!" She wasn't going to beg she would never do that "should I tell the master then? You broke his rule..no weapons in the sleeping quarters, Remember Azar?" Kai had come up with that name for her once as it meant fire like her personality and they had decided to use it at the keep. The inspectors entered the room and she rushed to stand next to her bed while Shuto quickly hid the dagger beneath his shirt and smirked as she was furious, he had probably seen where she had hidden it few days ago and as she was in deep sleep she haven't noticed anyone stealing anything.

A week had passed and she was called by the master, she didn't ask why as they led her to the dungeons and she was confused as they opened a cell and there was a man in the back of it as she understood what it was about she tried to back up, to get away from there but the master gave her a questioning look and she stopped and looked at him as he handed her a dagger and the cell door closed behind them.
After few hours she had the permission to leave. She had pushed herself not to cry or show any emotion like she was ordered while the man had screamed from pain till her ears were ringing.
