Chapter 1

I am a trained assassin that has been one of the best fighters in almost every class I have taken and I now know self defense and am skilled in using weapons. My best though is the dagger, it's lighter and is more reliable but I am only able to do jobs that don't require the use of a sniper or other things that need guns since I believe it's more eof a hassle to keep stealthy and clean.

Today at around 10 am I was called to the agency I work at that presented me with quite the difficult job. The client was sitting at the chair across my boss and was a silver haired male that had light, blue eyes but seemed almost as though he was the type of person that could knock someone out just because they said something he didn't like. The Aura around him made it feel like walking in a blizzard. I was confused why he needed someone since he clearly seemed able to do whatever job he needed to on his own, though maybe he isn't able to be quick and get it done without getting caught or he's just not the type who wants his hands dirty. I felt like I had seen him somewhere but couldn't place it.

I walk over a little but kept a bit of distance, something in me wanting to keep a bit of distance. After a moment I give up on staring at the man and focus on their conversation. "He is the best we have available at the moment so if you wish to continue with him, we will inform him of the details, and he should start today" my boss barely looked over at me the whole time I had entered the room and I assumed that she was probably not to happy of his request since she seemed so deep in business mode. I hadn't seen his face too clearly since he only looked over at me a moment, an only when I walked in so I was slightly cautious of why I had seen him before and where. Him not facing me made it harder too put a name and place on him.

I was close enough to them to hear their conversation, but I didn't actually care to listen what they were saying, though I should, but what I got out of it I had heard it was a high price, and he had agreed to let me but didn't think I would be enough. I eventually gave up on trying to figure it out after a few minutes, not having hot any closer to the answer. I began to listen again and hear, something that kinda sent slight chills down my neck. "....the prince is not as easy to kill as you think. He has had training made top-notch, fit for the future of the kingdom. Don't be fooled by his reputation." The man seemed to be almost lecturing my boss and she was clearly unhappy with it as her hazel eyes glared slightly at him trying to hold in her anger, and you could tell.

I finally figure out why she was so unhappy when he left after signing the papers nessasary just to ensure that the client understands that they can not back out of the agreement or certain precautions will be taken and is to say on paper that they have to pay no matter if the job is done. "the job was for you to assassinate the prince of our kingdom. I know, you probably aren't interested, but he is offering enough to finally get the amount for your sister's treatment." she finally spoke to me, her eyes focused on the papers but her anger cooled down.

Though she seemed in business mode, you could tell with her tone she was as reluctant as me but also we both knew that this job was important and shouldn't be denied. I think about it, my hesitation getting the better of me, knowing that the possibility of me being unsuccessful was higher then I would like considering someone that high would have a lot of security and if I got caught the money would be gone and this would have been a waste. I can't let this opportunity slide though. the last person I care about is on the brink of dying from her brain injury that was caused by our father's actions. It's getting worse and they said that her operation is vital to insure that she survives.

"You are to leave as soon as you can because the faster he is killed the higher the client said he'd pay." I hesitate before finally making up my mind and sitting in the seat on the other side of her desk. "ok. What information do we have on the prince?" she smiles slightly, and nods, as though saying I made the right decision before going back to business mode. She pushes a file to me and starts speaking as I look through his file. "since your target is The prince there isnt as much information as there normally would be but I believe there's enough to work with. The prince is known to go to this one bar on 23rd Street on the west of here, you should be able to find where that is, yes? how you get there is your deal. That is all we have. I'm assuming you know what he looks like? Ok good. Off you go." She was clearly done with the conversation and I knew better then to push further so I left without saying anything even though I barely remember anything except that he had black hair but I don't quite remember his eye color but I felt like I should. Like my brain knew it but couldn't say.

After a few minutes I had already gotten back to my small place and began packing quickly only what was needed. I brought some daggers, along with a gun and bullets just in case though I never plan on using it unless absolutely needed. It was messy, loud, and far more noticable and easier to slip up with. I packed some clothes in case it took longer and a bit of rashes like crackers and bread and some water. I didn't have any money to spare for transportation so I set out on my journey through half the kingdom....on foot.... alone...with barley anything..... This is gonna be a long mission. After what felt like 10 hours (was actually 4) of walking and only taking a few breaks, I made it a decently far amount but noticed the sky was growing dark and decided to find a place to rest. I look and wander around a bit as less and less people were around and it grew later. That is when I heard people fighting coming from the alley way that I had passed a few seconds ago. I assume I could possibly gain something from it if I'm lucky and since I was done walking anyway it couldn't hurt to check it out.

When I snuck through it cautious, I found an opening to a large space in between other buildings. There were three men on one side and one on the other. The three seemed to be trying to rob the one since they were wearing pretty dirty clothes and were holding weapons like a pipe, a small knife, and one was holding a bottle. the other guy was wearing a hood and didn't seem much better off though he had been wearing a lot nicer clothes despite the color of brown you could faintly tell he was clearly clean. The three men began to approach him more advancing on him but he just stood there looking completely calm. After they were almost close enough to attack I decided to intervene and took out my dagger and went after what seemed to be the leader and ran over to him managing to kick him from the side Right after he spotted me but it was to late and he hit the ground hard. I leaned over him and grabbed his collar while I put the dagger against his neck. when he hit the ground his knife had slid away but my main problem was wether to just kill him now or to just immobilized him.

The others try to attack me so I quickly just slit his throat and I turned around as the one with a bottle tried to stab me after breaking it but I dodged and kicked him in the gut witch made him fall to the ground in pain. The next guy came at me with his pipe prepared to swing at my head but I ducked and punched him upwards in the gut and as he dropped the pipe and held his stomach I tripped him with my foot swiftly and when his head hit the ground it began to bleed. He went limp immediately. The one who had the broken glass Bottle got up quickly and fled. After I saw them escape I look back at the boy since he was quite this whole time just watching, seemingly unfazed. I expected him to be afraid or surprised but he only looked slightly annoyed. The nerve of this dude. After I had saved him he didn't even seem to care.
