Silent Nitemare

5 years later. I stand in front of the mirror, this beautiful young girl starring back. Shes wearing long dark blue nylon tights, black knee high cloth boots, with a black and midnight blue lace dress. Her golden hair curled into ringlets that are pulled back by a black headband so they drop down her back and she wears a necklace with a black rose around her neck. I can't believe that the girl in the mirror is really me. For years I have been waiting for this moment. Today I turn 16 and join Nitemare's Shadow for my first mission as a member of the clan. Crimson Nitemare, the head assassin of the clan, comes in and tells me its time for my ceremony. She walks me half way down the aisle before she kneels and lets me walk down the other half alone. I stand tall and proud as I approach Undead Nitemare and kneel before him. He looks down at me and smiles while he picks up a midnight blue cloak that matches my dress. His words echo in my ears.

"From this day on, you shall no longer be known as Torann, From now on you are known as Silent Nitemare" He states loud enough for all the clan to hear. Then he places the cloak around me and ties it. I stand up smiling widely. "Tonight you will join us in your first mission" he smiles, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Come let us go before our Queen grows restless" We set out for the royal palace, all clad in midnight blue. From now on the outfit I wore would be my outfit for every mission. Luckily the boots were somewhat flat footed and not heals otherwise my feet would be killing me. We arrived at the palace and entered the grand throneroom I had heard so much about. Undead Nitemare stepped before the Queen who smiled "Today must be a grand day for you, for now you have 13 followers" she grins as she looks at me. "May I meet your newest recruit?" she croons at Undead Nitemare who nods his approval. I stand and make my way before the Queen kneeling at her feet my head bent to show my undying devotion. The Queen laughs with glee "You have taught her well" She giggles with joy. "Well I have a special assignment for you tonight then" she smiles even more wickedly as she whispers our mission into my ear. I nod my head graciously before slowly getting up and bowing, backing up back into my position. Then the Queen waves her hand and says that we are dismissed. We exit the palace and everyone turns to me. Undead Nitemare steps forth asking what the Queen told me. I look at him with this horrified expression "She, she she told me that she wanted her sisters head to be brought back to her" I wrote in my little black book that I used to speak with. Undead Nitemare looked down "Im sorry that this is your first mission" he whispers "But it has to be done" I nod and we turn and head for the palace on the other side of the forest. The palace where our Queens sister lives.
