Taniths Story

part1

3rd person POV

"Tanith concentrate please!" complained Quoneel for what seemed like the 800th time in one hour. "I'm trying but your so much better than me, I can't .... keep......up." Tanith Low gasped between strikes, she was losing and losing badly. "STOP IT!" shouted her older brother Cailen Valentine "Can't you see she can't continue!" He strode over to his younger sister, picked her up, placed her on the bench and made her drink some water. Cailen watched her carefully noticing how much shes been forced to grow up since she got here, she was only 14 years old with bleach blonde hair and bright blue eyes that stood out against her pale skin like two blue topaz pieces on a white background, he had fought with her parents from the beginning, he was completely against making his sister a hidden blade because she was to young and ought to set out her own path in life, but of course her parents being the stubborn, hard headed idiotic people they were hadn't listened to word he said. They offered her to the hidden blade and Quoneel had taken her to eagerly hoping that for one he could be the one to break her out of being independent, freelance and force her to work with others, he also hoped she could be his protege and encourage the others to try harder. Unfortunately she wasn't learning the things he wanted her to, she was learning better ones and if she realised that she would beat him in 2 minutes flat but luckily for him she seemed reluctant to use her physical strength and kept on the defensive.

Quoneel noticed that something was wrong because Cailen was trying to get her attention but she wasn't responding to anything he was saying and that is when she slumped on him. A flicker of pain, confusion, worry and anger swept across Cailens face but they are gone as quickly as they appeared, he swings his little sister into his arms and is about to head down to the infirmary when the two cleavers the English sanctuary sent stepped in his way. "What is this? Are you blind? Can you not see that if I don't get this girl to a doctor she may die?" "What are you insinuating Cailen?" Asks Quoneel sounding offensive. "I am simply stating that you and my idiotic parents have pushed and pushed Tanith to far and she cannot cope with it anymore!" says Cailen rather bluntly not bothering to hide the anger in his voice "She was never meant to be here in the first place and if she dies I am taking this to the English council. Understand?" Quoneel just stared at him for a long time so Cailen asked again shouting this time "UNDERSTAND?!" "yes" was the only answer he got and even that was just a whisper "Cleavers let them pass." The minute they let him pass Cailen was running down the halls to get to the infirmary as soon as possible hoping he wasn't to late...
