My heart was cold despite the blazing smoke and fire wafting in the air. The world felt silent despite the screams of terror and panic piercing the air. Everthing didn't seem to exist except for the fact that my family ancestral home was going up in flames my family still inside.
Hands fell on my shoulder trying to comfort the girl that was losing everything. The girl they had known their whole lives being left alone over the burning ashes of the place where she once loved and lived. My hands trembled as much as I stuggled to make them still, my breath was heaving in my chest as much as I forced myself to be calm.
Time seemed to slow as a single dark ashened figure emerged from the burning building cries of pain retching from the person's mangled body. My heart beat ever faster. I rushed forward as time seemed to come back to me, my own heart spluttered with anxiety as I ran towards the ash covered figure.
My arms circled the person, my fingers cutting clean lines in the soot that powdered over the person's body. The screams of joy surrounding me, mean nothing. I don't comprehend anything, just the shallow breathing of the person in my arms and the pain of seeing her so helpless. "Mom," I whisper stroking the long dark brown hair from her face. A tender smile arches across her face, but her eyes show know sign of recognition, just a dazed milky gaze of emerald green.
"Lissette, my brave little girl," she says in a semi-sleeping trance.
"Mom, I'm here mom, I won't leave you," I promise. She frowns at my words.
"But I must, my time has come Lissette," she whispered reaching up to stroke my hair blindly.
"Mom, don't talk like that!" I begged holding her closer to me.
"When they find you dear, don't tell them. Don't tell them who we were, don't tell them who your family was," she whispered not paying attention to what I had just said.
"Who? Who will find me? Why shouldn't I tell them?" I ask unexpected curiosity coursing through me.
"The men of shadows, don't let them know. Don't tell them," she whispered desperatley clawing at my arms and then her hands suddenly go limp.
"Mom!? MOM!?" I scream shaking her body in my arms the tears are already spilling over. Sobs wracked my body pain sweeped over me. If mom died as quickly as that from this accursed fire. How could the rest of my family have lived? It was a lost cost to hope, it was childish, but it's always true. As much as you've accepted that somethings not gonna happen, there's still a part of you that keep riding that useless hope. Making it harder to accept when it's finally gone.
I stand up. I can bare to watch anymore. I layed her body down on the grass, brushing away stray tears as they start pouring down my face. "Come with us," a cold metallic voice snarls from behind me putting a hand on my shoulder clad with metal. I freeze but don't resist as the person pulls me from my home, my pain, my life.

I sling my bag over my shoulder as I exit my dorm room, my dormmates are still sleeping. Not suprising really. It's only 4:00 a.m. A quick smile flitters over my lips. I'm not a "people person" if you know what I mean. I tend to stay away from crowds and all that. Most people haven't seen me out of the classroom most of the time.
I walk into the classroom brushing my thick, dark brown hair out of my eyes, but failing miserabley as the ceiling fan blows it back infront of my face. I give an exasperated sigh and sit down in my desk fiddling with my hair. "Morning Katya," Mrs. Krint says waving at me from her desk which she has just emerged from. She's a plump woman, with auburn hair that falls in waves around her face and bluish-gray eyes that remind you of stone underwater, and then there's of course the obvious marking over what we are. Metallic brown marks that start from the left side of her face down to her left wrist.
The marking of a demon. Everyone has there own pattern of markings. Mrs. Krint? Her marking, like I said are metallic brown and run in cracklike patterns. They set in when we're about thirteen. I was eleven when the fire happened my marking hadn't set in, I hadn't had the gifts that came with the markings and my parents weren't there to help me through the pain that came with it. When they brought me hear I told them my name was Katya Le Fay and I was an orphan who came scrambling to the Darkwing manor when the first sirens started blaring and naturally they believed me.
"Are you planning on going to the..." Mrs. Krint says her voice trailing off. She's referring to the ball, every end of term the school has a ball, something to really get ourselves to dress up and get excited. I never attend. I've been going to Crimson Thorne Academy for five years and I've never once in those five years have attended the ball. I tend to just wander the halls, well one year I technically went, but I didn't dance or "mingle" I was just there to play they violin for one of the songs, then I "escaped" alright maybe just a little to weak of a word. I literally fled the room.
"No, I really doubt I am, here's my assignment," I say looking away from her sliding the stack of papers towards her. She blinks at me, with awe and confusion. She takes that stack of papers and I can see from the corner of my eyes her eyes zooming across the page. I don't exactly know how long I watch her do this, but by the time she finishes, one of my fellow classmates named Lucas comes in so I can assume it's been around two hours.
"You finished a thousand-five hundred-seventy-three in four days!" Mrs. Klint says throwing her hands in the air and staring at me like I'm a freak, which technically I am, but she is one too.

Mrs. Klint starts the class eyes flickering to me now and again seeing as I've already covered the topic in my report. Then the intercome is blaring on interrupting Mrs. Klint in the middle of explaining something. It's Headmaster Mevric . "All students from sections: G-Levroc; H-Klint; D- Klint; and E-Hanton are to meet at the entrance hall this instant!" I can almost see his nostrils flare and it's pretty obvious what he's so steemed about. The Hunt.
The Hunt is practically held every year by dozens of people who are aware of our existance. It's like a sporting game for the humans, but the stakes are high. They could bring one of us down and earn our powers or fail in the attempt. Probably the latter, we are really, really, really hard to kill. We're immortal, we've got our abilities and extincts to guide, and of course there are the transformations. Another perk to being a demon, everyone is different so everyone has their own transformation, it's a part of who we are.
We are forced to participate in the hunt to draw major damage away from the young. Meaning the ones who still have no control over their powers, when we are more of a danger to ourselves rather than our enemies.
I stand up and sling my bag across my shoulder, reaching down to set my right hand on the hilt of one of the daggers strapped to my belt. The green turtle neck I'm wearing disguises the knives that are strapped into my belt. Technically we're aloud to bring weapons, but I doubt the teachers would be pleased if I stabbed sombody who bumped into me while walking to class.
I'm out the door before most of the kids have reacted. I speed down the corridor my hair whipping behind me. My marks showing, silver vine specked with specks of cerulean blue. A hand grabs my shoulder from behind and then all my training from The Hunt starts kicking in as the grip on my shoulder tightens. I swivel around thrusting the poing of the dagger under the person's throat when I see who it is I give a small shriek of surprise and pull the dagger away. It's Headmaster Mevric. "We need to talk," he whispers pulling me down the corridor half frozen in shock.

"So what?" I ask him, we're in his plush and enormous office. He blinks for a moment as if he's forgotten I'm there.
"What?"
"Why am I here? What do you want to talk to me about? If it's only trivial may I please go sir because I'll be late for the trasnportation to The Hunt," I say. I sound much more rude and arrogant than I mean.
"You cannot fo on the hunt Katya," I start protesting, but he hold up a hand. "Because they have chosen Givensdale as the scene of The Hunt." My jaw dropped, Givensdale, they city of my birth and where I was "supposedly" orphaned. Memories, places, and people. It's obvious why he doesn't want me to go. The memories could render me useless and even though it is unavoidable to have casualties every year, it would be insane of them to let me go if the memories did do that.
"I can handle it and why on earth would they choose a city that is still striving?" I ask my voice is lifeless and I struggle to keep it that way. Any sign of pain and they're sure to not let me go.

"I'll be fine," I say waving my hand in the air dismissivley. "I really will be!" I exclaim as he throws me an untrusting look, but something about my expresion must be fierce enough to change his mind, because he sighs and with exagerated slowness hand me a single slip of paper saying the following:
Katya Le Fay
Year three of experienced seesion, sixteen-years-old, dorm room G- Ninenty Five.
Hereby given permission to lead groups: 2R; 6T; 3B; and any select group of her choosing
"Your asking me to lead?" I ask him. Usually students my age aren't given groups at all, teachers always choose the more experienced students, but now they've given me the most experienced groups of this school. The pride and joy of Crimson Thorne Academy and I know if any of them get hurt it'll be my fault, but I can't think of that now.
"Of course, Givensdale is you home terf, you know this terrain the best, you know it inside and out and if we know the hunter even the slightest, they'll be trying to flush you out into the city so a word of warning try to position your troops and send them into attack patterns that will drive them away the city not towards it," he said his face solemn.
"Why? We could easily siddle along the population, why can't we?" I ask.
"Just don't!" He snaps at me and then his voice softens. "I'm sorry, but you must listen. Your weapons has been set out for you meet up with your respected groups in the entrance hall and call your individual recruits." I nod and exit the room once I'm out I look back at him through the open door and see he's shooting me a weary expression.
Chapter Four
I fiddle with a lock of my hair as I wald. To batons are strapped to my back, the flat edges of both of the blades are pressed on the small of my back. My belt of knives strapped around my waist. I'm about to claim my groups and I'm alreadys re-considering. These kids are older than me, what do they think of me being the one leading them into battle? Will they resent me for it? No stop thinking that. Like it or not I'm still they're leader.
I walk forwards inside the giant oak doors and take my seat. Mrs. Klint is reading off the list of groups and she just has apparently called mine. "May I have all members of group 2R, 6T, and 3B?" I see them most of the older students stand up and take their place in a neat formation of the transporter. "May I have their leader Katya Le Fay and her selected six?" She asks again her voice tainted with an edge of anxiety. To late to turn back now. I step forward and so do my requested six.
I can almost feel the tension in the whole room.

Chapter Five:
I clear my throat the most amazing squads being under the control of a minor like me is a chance of slim to none, but still I wasn't given this post for nothing. "Violet Connely," she smirks, but it somehow is sweet is loving before skipping up onto the platform and linking arms with me. I give her an appreciative smile, brushing a lock dark brown hair from her face, "R-Hannah Turner," me and Hannah or Rachelle revealed our secrets to eachother and Hannah not being from a family that openly showed their demon heritage didn't know who she was really was so her secret as Lissette Darkwing as really known that much to the demon world at that time. She gives me a pointed look, but comes forward also.
"Alice Cresta, Eo'wyn Correllia, Rasine Alcox, and Amelia Awell," I finish in a rush blushing darkly. Mrs. Klint tells us to be safe and hold up the honor of Crimson Thorne Academy and activates the portal. I place my hand over it and we all teleport the minute my feet hit the earth, something has grabbed me by the neck and pushed me up the trunk of the tree.
"Why are you leader?" The girl screams shrilly fangs baring darkly. "What did you do? Bribe the Headmaster? Oh wait, you can't because you're an ORPHAN!"
"Let go of her!" Hannah screams grabbing the girl who I realize as Tiffany Mesbreded.
