The Assassin Mate

The OTHERS

I walked into Me and Xavier's head quarters to see 3 other of my kind there. "HAPPY 18000th BIRTHDAY!!!"
Oh yeah....its my birthday! I looked to the others to see my closest friends
Ruby, Jackson and Isabelle.

I pulled off my hood revealing my top part of my face and smiled kindly to them. "Thanks guys" They each gave me a gift, Isabelle's gift being the largest.

"Well we didn't want to leave you alone for your birthday!" Jackson chirped.
Jackson and I go waaaaayyy back. like back to the 1400 when I met Xavier,

Yea our '15' year friendship has actually been centuries long, my kind simply don't die. That is Unless Zeus decides he doesn't need us anymore or we are killed by the blade of Satan OR we are Murdered by another of our kind. The blade of Satan used to rest in Xavier's hands till he was murdered by another of our kind.

Isabelle ushered me to open my gift and I did so, Inside was a beautifully hand made Bow and some Arrows. The bow was made of Dark wood with Engravings of my Assassin name in the middle.

The bow it's self was pretty big!!!
It was about the size of the height of a floor to a foot above the door knob of a normal door, with a sturdy yet flexible string.

"Oh Isabelle, It's beautiful."

"And it's yours" she smiled "OH but I can't except this!" I added on to my first comment. This is so like Isabelle to Give me such A beautiful Gift Im not worthy of!

"Oh but You can! That and I refuse to take it back! For Xavier himself told me
6,000 years ago to Give it to you on your 18000th birthday!" She cooed remembering Xavier, he really was just that person that everyone loved.

I looked down lovingly at the Bow...So that's why the craftsman ship looked so familiar....Xavier made it...I pulled it closely to my chest. Oh Xavier, we miss you.

Ruby handed me a black case and I slowly opened it on her demand. Inside was a Shiny new dagger with thorn and vine engravings on the handle.

"Pretty" I commented.
"Where on earth did you get it?" I added on. "I made it myself! The blade its self is made of titanium and a little silver, and as for the grip? It's metallic rubber and I used a second knife to carve in the thorns and

Vines." As I admired the craft mans ship then the last gift was pushed my way. Jackson's gift was locked tightly in a wooden box about the size of a toaster and a small lock on the front and above the lock read
Natasha Roselyn Layla RavenCroft
Jackson then handed me a small blue box that

I hastily opened to reveal the key to the lock. I picked up the small silver key and opened the box to see a ballerina, it's a music box....and inside also........ a note?
I picked up the small note and unfolded it.

Dearest Natasha,

By the time you read this, I will no longer be with you in the world of the living...but I want to wish you the happiest of birthdays. Your all grown up! I'm gonna miss you so much Tash..Words cannot describe the sorrow I feel while writing my small good bye. I know my time is running short so I decided to send you my love in all small letter. Happy 18,000th birthday Beautiful girl! I wish I could be there.... Good bye dearest friend

~Xavier

I closed the letter with shaky hands.
I looked up to Jackson who had a small smile that I mirrored before returning the letter to its place in the music box and snapped it shut then locked it.
