I had never met a human being before. Their ears were funny and they had no antlers, but if you squinted just right and tried real hard they look just like us. This one was nice; he smiled wide and tried and utterly failed to speak my language, Arietes.  If it was true that he was nice so I figured I could show him my home where I could proudly say that I was next in line to be chieftess. But when I introduced him to my father, the second he saw him my father shouted at me for bringing a human there. Next thing I knew there was a metal thing, which I now know is a gun, and a loud bang and my father was on the floor, breathing heavily and telling me to run, and not to look back. I was too scared to process it then so I just stood there. He turned and then I understood, so I ran, but nowhere near fast enough. I heard a deafening boom and screams I looked back to see flames and my village and my people dead blurred through my tears. My sobs shaking me slowing me down. I felt a small prick in my neck and I shut down, falling to the ground. 

Now I'm here, I've been here for around nine months. At first I was in a slimy, cold concrete room underground. But they have a contest and if you're strong enough you get recruited into           Igni Necari, if you're weak you get sold as a slave or killed. I was strong and fast and smart.  

My job here was to capture those who were on our wanted list.  The Igni Necari had my once long antlers trimmed down to almost stubs so I could more easily maneuver around.  For every promotion I got a new tattoo, I had almost twenty now. I had killed dozens. I was a professional, once I would have cried at the sight of even a injured bunny, now I could kill without a thought. 

Last week was respicere post tergum, or the day of looking back. It is a day of great sadness for you remember all those you have killed. This is why we don't cry, we save up our tears for this day. Only the younger members can do it. The older ones can't cry anymore, and can't remember all their kills. I was thinking last night, and I realized I'd lost my heart, I am now just another one of their emotionless soldiers. This was a great time to be an agent. Ever since 3086 the Igni Necari has ruled this Planet , except small patches of forest here and there, they had been ruling our home for 48 long years, which I had only been around for 19 of, but anyways I was lucky. I was alive. I had money. I just can't see anyway where I could live like this any longer. I had to do something.

Since then I've been plotting to leave the Igni Necari , making me a fugitive, and my plan takes place tonight.

I pulled out my worn brown bag filling it with my belongings along with some food and water. I left the apartment complex, but not before being seen by my best friend, and only friend.

" Perse," Jaune whispered hoarsely "Don't go, we need you here, Please," he begged, he never begged.

" I'm sorry" I said barely a whisper before my legs carried me away from the place where I became the new me with a new name. I was now Persephone Adriaan, Assasian before I was Maple, Chieftess-to-be of the Ariete Tribe of the North. I was going to gain back my humanity and feel once more.
