Taryn's Trigun

Just like any other day

Taryn's POV

I slammed the alarm down and got up from the wooden surface I always sleep on and that will give me body pains.

My yawn every morning is always wide as I stretch and positioned myself in a manner of hatred for waking up this early in the morning.

Too many nights have passed and all I feel is loneliness. Sadness. And anxiety for my ancestors.

Tomorrow is my twenty ninth birthday and I am already scared of the curse on my family of dying before thirty.

Rightful princess of my world but they denied me of the throne and now I am just a mere soldier. And the only female soldier at that.

Got bruises and marks at all parts of my body due to wars that I have fought in when I clicked fourteen.

I always wake up as early as 4:00am because of some worthless training and preparation to go hunt.

"Taryn, get up and have a bath. You know that we will have to go hunt today" My roommate, Stacy said.

I groan as I make my way upto the bathroom to have a quick bath and get ready for something we call hunting.

I had a quick bath and together, I and Stacy made our way to the empire's hunters room.

I am greeted with smirks by my fellow male hunters and that makes me frown the more.

I reach out for a glass of water and sipped from it and handed it over to Stacy who drinks and hand it over to the next person and like that it went round.

"Well, well... If it isn't the ladies of the day" a known bully and flirt said as he made his way to I and Stacy.

Of course, I believe that I am a beauty so with Stacy, but does that mean he should be such a flirt?

"Hey Kyle," Stacy greeted with a little wave but wanted to pass by him, but he held her by slamming his hand lightly on her chest.

Stacy knew what was coming whenever he did that so... We have no option than to just flow with it.

"Wait hun. You ain't going anywhere"

I chuckled silently and stared at Stacy as she withdrew to my side and they take steps towards us.

"Why are you girls dressed like you're going on a mission?" he asked and I gulped as all eyes in the meal room, got fixed on us.

I can feel the blazing embarrassment in Stacy's body as I saw goosebumps erupt on her body but she tried to control it. Which I know she can't.

"We all know that you girls are just females with no power"

The whole cafeteria rowed with laughter and I gulped and closed my eyes. I really don't want them to think the opposite way of whatever they're thinking.

I and Stacy froze at that spot and I tried my best not to get angry at that point.

Kyle smirked at her and then his eyes divert to me and straight into my eyes.

"Aye, aye, aye, Taryn's here" he said and I felt his hand land over my shoulder and sliding down to my waist.

I opened my eyes and I just want to make this awkward feeling to go down completely.

I understand that ever since my early teenage years, Kyle have been after me, to be my partner. And not just a temporary one. Like my permanent partner which I told him 'No'.

"How are you?" He whispered into my ear and I don't turn to look at him but just admit that he want to cause trouble even when I don't want him to.

I feel my hair rising as he slides his hand half way down to my a*s but with a quick thinking, I smacked his hand as he let go of my waist.

"Will you stop that?" I ask

The guys in the hall, including him, smirked at me with their eyebrows up and staring down at me.

"And what you gonna do, huh?... " He ask as he made it for my chest.

Holding tightly to my shirt, he pulled me closer to him.

I can't take this nonsense anymore!

I raise my leg and smack him inbetween his legs and smacking it hard.

I can tell that he dozed off as he fell on his knees and they all stared at me.

Even if I know that I have entered some hot pot with him and the authority of this kingdom, I should also be able to have my rights and one of them that I posses is to not let someone molest me or touch or treat me inappropriately.

Am I not a human too? Did I tell them I killed my parents? What's wrong with them?

Stacy whispered into my ears as we made our way down the stairs to get breakfast.

Let's go" she said

I ripped my hands off her grip and turned to leave the cafeteria, directly into my room.

They treat me like I am the one that begged that I came into this world.

Tears dripping down from my eyes and with a running nose, I sigh and grab the book given to me by my mum through the recent authority of the kingdom now.

I opened it to see writings that I have kept on reading ever since I was growing up and now, I'm still reading.

Wise words by the elders of the kingdom but I should be careful.

Because of the lineage of my parents, the way they die before the age of thirty, the rest always harass me.

They insult, harass and if they want to take advantage of me and I say no, they end up trying to beat me but I always escape.

It kinda hurts and even when I try to forget or shove it off, it just keep coming. It makes me look like a moron and probably feel like one.

Tears dripping down my jaw as I inhaled a running nose and feel my head nag with a sharp pain of headache.

I reluctantly closed the book and sighed.

If I have to for cause of that curse then fine. The lineage will die with me and no one will have to die before thirty again. I guess so.

Tommorow. My twenty ninth birthday is at the corner.

Only God knows whether I'll even stay for four months after tomorrow.
