Chapter 2-

Twelve years ago...

My family was killed. Twelve years ago I was just a really intelligent and kind young girl. Now I am a much older girl, I was hated by the towns people. I was hunted by bounty hunters and I was wanted by almost every hold across the world...some in places I never even been.

I was close behind the man who killed my family years ago and I still longed and waited for my revenge. I had it all planned. I would find him in his home or wherever he lived. I would await until he is settled until finally coming in and aiming an arrow right between his eyes. I still had the mark on my wrist from when I was younger. I had come to a theory that this was a vampire mark. I had heard of vampires in some towns and I marked them as my first destinations, and the other possible places my next destinations. I was in England in a much bigger city rather than the small ones. I could easily disguise myself in the large crowds.

I also had the help of a robe with an overly large hood, to keep over my face and long hair. I walked through the market silently. I had heard of vampire activity in the area and a high rate of "assassinations".

As I walked through I tried my best not to hit any royals...they are a bit anxious and scared lately of the assassinations so they will pay close attention to a person like me. Especially because a lot of people think I am involved.

Why do people believe I am involved?

Well because I do kill people you could say. But only people who are suspicious. It's usually a quick and easy kill but one time there was a female who witnessed a kill I did and she was pregnant and I couldn't kill her...so I left.

I don't regret it because, I know killing people isn't right but innocent children? No.

I know it's weird but it's me.

As I walked by a shady alleyway I was grabbed and yanked in. I quickly grabbed the knife hiding in my boot and flipped my attacker around holding the knife against his neck. No one looked in because it was dark and some how a bit far in.

"You're looking for him." The man who had grabbed me stated.

"What do you mean "him"?" I asked pressing a bit harder.

"I know where he is. I know where he lives. I know his schedule, I know everything about the man you seek. The one who killed your family." I pushed him farther into the alleyway close to a man with a lantern.

"Go. Leave the light." I growled, he nodded clearly scared but ran right out of the alleyway leaving the lantern. I grabbed it and held it to his face along with the knife still placed on his neck. He had short blonde hair and wore the same type of clothing the murderer did; he had yellow eyes but they were not as golden as the other man.

"Who are you?"

"I could be a friend or foe depending on if you want information or not."

"Listen. Tell me where the man is, and how do you know him?"

"The man you seek lives in seclusion in the forest west from here. He lives with other assassins so you cannot just walk in and kill everyone."

"I didn't plan on it; and how do you know him?"

"He is my master."

"Then why are you helping me? That is if you know what I plan on doing to him." I said letting off a bit on the knife.

"Oh I know. But, the master expects that you will one day come for him, however he does not know how you look; if you can defend yourself -which you can- or how you plan on presenting yourself."
