I run toward the make shift town, adrenaline pounding through my veins. A raid is supposedly the best part of guarding! And I can't wait to take part in my first one!
"Strike to kill! Leave no survivors." I repeat the command from the briefing we had. Mercury looks up at me, "May I eat the ones I kill?" she asks. I make a face, "No!"
We enter the town, and the rest of the Guards split up according to orders.
Suddenly I see a yellow Canary swoop down toward an old apartment building. As I watch it fly in, I see a face. Looks like I found where to go first!
I run toward the apartment, and wrench open the door. Mercury and I take the stairs two at a time toward the apartment. When we get there I wrench open the door and run inside. To girls stare at me, one looks fierce and ready to fight. The other just looks scared. But, they're both young teens. Kids. I can't kill kids...

I waste no time, and pull out my knives. I crouch slightly, ready to fight or flee. Rafe gets between Ayla and the door, and chirp flies high above us. The guard gawks at us. After a minute of this, I cock an eyebrow. "Aren't you supposed to attack us now?" I ask. He looks startled, and slightly confused. "Well...Yeah. But you're a child." he answers hesitantly.
I laugh. Hard. I can't help it! Heaven forbid he attack a child. The Guard blushes, while I struggle to get my calm back. "If you're not going to fight us, may we leave?" I ask. "No." He says quickly. I shrug, "To bad." I say, "And I was just starting to like you too."

The girl who seems in charge run forward and attacks. She aims low, at my gut. I dodge her, but refuse to strike back. I'm not going to hurt a kid! This girl looks maybe 13 at the most. She comes in again, and I knock her away, quickly moving into the room so I would have the advantage.
She pull back and glares at me. "I'm not falling for your stupid trick." she spits at me. I'm confused. "Trick?" I say, "What trick?" She rolls her eyes, "You're trying to make me tired so you have a better advantage! I fell for this trick once, and was almost killed for my trouble. It's not happening again! So you can go ahead and fight."
I nod, realising she won't give in with out a fight. "Mercury." I say in Latin, "Attack, but don't do any long lasting harm. I do not want them dead!"
"What did you say?!" The girl asks me, I put on a fierce, uncaring look. "I told Mercury to kill you." I explain. Her eyes widen, and she opens her mouth to say something. Just then, Mercury runs forward and pounces on her. Mercury hits the girl with her paw, and the girl sinks to the ground. The other girl stares at me, and starts to cry. "Please don't kill her." She says softly. I open my mouth to say I wouldn't really kill her, but something hits me. The wolf! It knocks me down to the ground and I hit my head. As I black out I see the other girl running toward the first. Then all is dark.

So much drama.
