Destiny it's a weird thing right? People expect you to do things expected of you but sometimes you cant and, well, here's my story…

Sam's perspective…

"Sam! Get back here!" Izzy yelled playfully as she chased after me with her sword. We were in the woods where no one would ever find us,"hey Izz you want to go the the lake?" I asked while fighting her off with my sword, she stopped and threw a piece of sharp bark at me, I barley dodged it,"sure." She said smiling at me." I think Lewis said he was going there at three am tomorrow." We quickly ran to the lake and saw a fire, it was man made. We were confused because no one ever comes in to the forest like ever. Izzy signalled me to hide so I did, we have been friends since 7 and I trust her with my life. There were five men all of them had iron chains around their chest. I gestured for Izzy and I to go back to our camp she nodded and we went into the forest. We took different routes just because we knew the forest like the back of our hands and if the men saw us and decided to chase after us it would be harder for them to find us.

"I think we should ask Lewis tomorrow morning if something happened in the mountains." Izzy suggested. I thought it was a great idea so we decided to sleep early and pack some preserved rabbits and water into our bags. I woke up and my watch showed 2:47am, Izzy was still sleeping(as usual) her chest lifting and setting down again. I moved her gently side to side until she finally woke up and said," Hey Sam." I could tell she was still tired so I let her sleep for five more minutes. We eventually made our way to the lake and found Lewis with Ella and Elena."Hey guys what's up?" I said knowing that they too saw the men with the iron chains; I don't think it was a coincidence that we were all here, but someone was missing."They took Kyle and Unluck…" sighed Ella. Izzy and I sat down no really knowing what to say."Is the clan meeting up?"asked Elena. Lewis shook his head then said," we can get the team together and get more info on the men with chains because I think Silen has got some scouts in the mountains and Astrid has got a spies in all the mountain keeps." Everyone was thinking about the idea. Suddenly Dani(one of Astrid's people)came out of the bushes and panted,"Astrid has ordered a Alpha meeting in camp Sophie." I stood up, nodded to Izzy and said," I will go back to camp Ace and inform Ellie that I will be gone for a while, Izzy go with you first and I will be at camp Sophie before first light."I nodded and left.

Izzy's perspective…

Camp Sophie was about 30 minutes parkour from the lake and 40 minutes parkour from camp Ace, but knowing Sam she will probably make it a 25 minute parkour after all she is the best assassin out of all the camps.

As expected Sam arrived five minutes after us, her body moving swiftly in the dark only to be seen with the faint white bandages she wore on her limbs, if she had been wearing her black bandages she would have been undetectable, like a predator waiting for her pray. She was beautiful." So Ellie is in charge of camp Ace for now?" I asked as she came to a stop beside me. " yea,"Sam answered ," she was going to go hunting with one of your students." That must be Ross he said he was going to hunt with one of the girls in camp Ace. I heard the sound of metal but Sam was already one step ahead of me, she pulled me down and signalled me to hide Lewis, Ella and Elena followed our lead and hid amongst the bushes….it was an attack.

Astrid's perspective…

We were under attack. But why? The only people who know about the alpha meeting are my team alphas and my messengers, only three were sent out to tell the alphas and that is Lex, Dani and Bea. One of them must have told the men with chains. " Jack go find the alphas and tell them to initiate a clan meeting, this is a planed attack and there's a spy amongst Lex, Dani and Bea." Jack nodded and climbed out the back of the tent.

Sam's perspective…

Their fighting technique was a hunter's technique I think Izzy already figured that out. We gave each other a thumbs up, Izzy gestured for Lewis and Elena to go on the left and Ella to take out the men with chains closest to the main tent, there were about fifteen of them. I got sin(my black bladed cloud dragon katana) out and waited for Ella to get into her position. The fighting started. I prefer not to kill If I don't have to so I normally only injure. The men with chains were slow fighters it didn't take long for them all to be taken out. We inspected the damage, five fatalities and fifteen injured. Astrid was in the forest when we found her a bit bloody but she was fine just tired, there were twenty five body's in total and five sets of foot prints going towards the mountains. " we'll take you to the healers." Lewis said while picking Astrid up. Ella suggested for us to go investigate the mountains and meet up with Silen's scouts then go to the mountain keeps.

Ella's perspective…

One of my good friends are in the mountains set by Silen as a scout so I know where to find them even Sam didn't know where they were but I'm sure she knew where my friend was when we came close to my friend's post, my friend camouflaged the post really well as well so I guess its just Sam's senses. " The men that you got attacked by have been hanging around the forest a lot lately its like they were looking for something but I don't know what…I think you guys should go meet up with Astrid's spies It shouldn't be too hard since you have a master spy and a master assassin in your group."my friend said. Before we left Sam advised him to cover up the atmosphere a bit. I didn't know how he was supposed to do that, I know how to change the atmosphere in a room of people but I don't know how to change the atmosphere around a whole tree, but I guess they have their ways.

Right, time to play my part, getting them in to the north keep. Too bad Lewis was back at camp Sophie he'd love this kind of stuff but he is a scout so I guess not. " Hey I heard that this keep is hiring fighters right now I was wondering where I sign up?" I said with no hesitation, first rule when infiltrating place that does not welcome the clan member or employer's workers is be confident so you don't seem suspicious." Yea go in the front door and register at the lobby." The guard said. Perfect they are distracted, " hey can both of you come and help me with something?"I asked. They are so stupid to fall for that it's a classic. Well I took care of both of them and tied them up to a tree.

Elena's perspective…

I had 60 arrows with me, enough…I guess. We found the spy in the north keep, she was disguised as a maid good choice I think. We meet up with Ella and the spy told us that the other spy in the east keep has been found and has escaped but now in the east keep the security is as reinforced as ever and he thinks that the east keep is the best place to start even though it's probably the most dangerous place to start. Sam suggested we wait until early morning to investigate the east keep.

It was midnight when I found out Ella and me were needed in a clan war against "The birds"(one of our enemy clans) and I needed to leave at noon, so I decided to bring one of my students up here and replace me while I'm gone but only after noon. Ash( one of my students about the same level of skill as me )arrived shortly after one o'clock. It was actually nice to have a student here I don't know why I've never felt this before It feels nice to have someone to talk to.

Ella's perspective…

I needed to leave at noon today so my team wont have a spy… " Hey Ella I think you should call one of your students up here as well so this team will have a spy." Suggested Elena. So i thought about it and one student came to mind, Artemis, Artemis is a pretty good spy but they are training to be a assassin. Artemis' prefered weapons are the black blade twin swords Artemis calls her left sword Dark and the right sword Shadow. Nice names I must say. We had a talk about what was happening and honestly Artemis was quite happy about taking my place after noon, I also think it's a good learning opportunity for Artemis since the best assassin out of all the camps are here with them.
