Strena The Youngest Assassin Arc Part Two

 The Second Kill


It was the following day. Strena was woken by the sound of a noisy street. She lipped out of bed feeling very numb. She, robotically, walked over to the window and drew back the black curtain. Her eyes greeted a bunch of people fighting in the street. She saw the crowd cheered as the lost was killed. Zaryb was the victor. She drew back the curtain and got dressed. She tried to take off the Artemis necklace but she could not. So she stopped trying. She was going to be an assassin. She was not completely Zarybs' puppet. The killing of that man was still fresh in her mind. She sat on the bed, crying. She longed to feel her mother's arms around her. She longed to hear her father's voice singing her to sleep yet she was not going to have either. No, she was going to have Zarybs' fists and taunts as he flaunted his power over her,  almost like he was rubbing it in.

She dried her tears so that he would not see them. She then took out her money bag and walked down the stairs. She soon greeted a room where most people were asleep and some in each-others arms. She let out a bitter laugh seeing that it was funny, yet she could not enjoy it as much as she could have done twenty four hours ago.

"So, you're going to get a job." Zaryb said.

"No."

"That wasn't a question."

She, knowing that she had not a choice, looked at the board. She did not want to pick a job, after all, she knew that the moment that she did, she would be sentencing a person to death, even worse, it would be by her hand. So, even though she did not want to kill, she knew that she did not have a choice.

"After breakfast." She said, hoping that she could stall as much as she could.

He smiled and nodded.

"Alright,  then I will pick one for you." He said as she left to get her break fast.

She nodded. She ordered her food and sat down as she waited for Zaryb to return with the name of her next victim. As she ate, she felt the dread build as she questioned, who will Zaryb make her kill? She even started to feel intensely nauseous but she knew that this was not out of any kind of illness. When he came and gave her the poster. She let out a long sigh to relieve her stress as she took it and looked at it.


Kill The Actress Roje


The actress Roje has been a disruptive

influence on the traveling shows that she

has been on and has been giving fellow

actors and actresses a bad experience.

She lives in the coast town of Ressoh.


He then saw her pale face and smiled.

"I hope that I will not have to force you this time." 

She looked aside as she knew that he would have to. She also knew that he would have to do it for sine time. However, she knew that there would come a time when she would do it on her own.

"Ohh! I see." He said with a smile. "After I've had my breakfast we will be off."

She nodded. She walked up to the room like a zombie and packed her things. She then walked back down and waited for Zaryb at the door. He soon joined her and they were soon off on their way. She caught a glimpse of the man that Zaryb had killed. It seemed that none were bothering to remove the body. None even bat an eyelid. She then looked on.

Looks like I'm going to get used to this. She thought as she tried to do all not to throw up.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, just feeling sick of seeing dead bodies."

He shook his head as he smiled.

"Then move on and don't worry. It'll be eaten by the time we get back." He said.

She suddenly remembered that woman she saw,  she wondered if she too was eaten. Probably so,  yes. She felt even more ill as she pictured the mice and rats eating her body. She knew that there would be more creatures that would join in, like dogs, wolves or foxes. Yet she just did not wish to think about it however as much as she tried not to.

She followed him to the road. There they found a farmer just leaving town. Zaryb pulled out a small knife and pressed it to his throat.

"Could you do us a favor and take us to Ressoh?"

He looked at the two, terrified and nodded without a sound. Yet it was all too clear that he was used to this. He continued until they came to a split in the road he then turned right. They descended and soon came to a crossroads. They continued on and she soon heard the soothing sound of the sea. She lost track of time and when they stopped and saw Jotellen in the far distance.

"Alright." He said.

"Thank you." She said.

"Don't thank him!"

"I'm not going to take it back!"

He smiled.

"Tell me, do you know where Roje lives?"

"Ro ssh!" Corrected the farmer. "And yes. She lives in the small but with the four on." He said.

She nodded.

"Thank you."

"That better not have been on purpose."

"Could have been."

He rolled his eyes and smiled.

"Good girl."

They looked for an hour before they saw it.

"Do you think she's in?" She asked, suddenly hoping that she was not.

He knocked on the door. Her heart sank as a woman with curly hair and pale skin and green eyes, greeted them. 

"Yeah?" She asked. "Are you one of my fans?"

"Yes!" Zaryb said with a false smile. "In fact I quite liked your portrayal of the fallen kings' brother. I must say you were far too accurate. I must admit that it gave me chills!"

She smiled as she sighed.

"Yeah. Well I must admit it was that brother I was interested in the most." She said. "I mean I just wonder what it must have been for him… Just imagine if your brother did that to you?"

He laughed.

"Yeah. Now let's get this over with, girl!" He called.

She looked at her, pale and scared as she realised what he meant. This was the moment,  but she was innocent. She had nothing to do with this, yet she was going to kill her and she had no choice but to do it and get over with. She hoped to find some way to save her,  yet she knew that she could not. She was going to kill her regardless of whether or not she wanted to.

"Kill her." He declared.

She ran to her and drove something into her heart. She felt the blood in her hands. She then threw up immediately after.

"Looks like she found out."

She looked up and frowned.

"What are you on about?"

"Hardly masters. Now clean up." He said.

She soon did. She then saw an apple and suddenly felt her stomach settle and she became hungry. She took the crimson fruit and bit into it, as she did she felt a tear fall. She wiped it away hoping that Zaryb did not see it.

"Are you crying again?"

"No,  it was only one tear."

"How many times will I have to control you until you do it yourself?"

"I don't know, not do I care." She then took out a green one and tossed it at him. "Here!"

They ate the apple and collected the bounty. They were back before it was dark.

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
