Due to my deceased father, the government decided I may have an inside to the fighting force we need to save humanity. They call him King of the Shadow Warriors. Shadow Warriors are elite fighters, who, after shifting form, have sharp claws and teeth capable of eviscerating a human without blinking an eye. If that isn’t a reason to run the other direction, I don’t know what is. The problem? We need the Shadow Warriors or we die. To gain their trust, I must impress King.

My government sent me in a short dress and heels to do the job. They seem to think a sexy body will increase their chances of gaining his help. I took the assignment freely even though my feelings on the outcome offer no comfort.

That brings me to the biggest problem in the entire scenario: King will eat me!

Shifter King

      Todays torture isnt enough to keep my mind off King. Boot isnt helping. He usually assists me, but today hes staying practically on the other side of the room like Im a leper. Im currently walking a balance beam and fall for the twentieth time. I step back onto the tricky beam and glare at my worthless trainer across the large open space between us.


      What is going on? I demand after wobbling and then finding my center.


      You just fell, he says like he has no idea what Im talking about.


      If you were standing over here, giving me a shoulder to balance with like a good little trainer, I wouldnt land on the floor or did you forget that part of this exercise?


      Youre depending on me too much and you need to learn to trust your feet. Youre standing just fine now. Try lifting one toe and pointing it toward the door.


      Ill do it if you come here and keep me from falling.
