The Silent Assassin (B1)

Shopping

Second chapter!! Yay! Tell me what you think?!

************************************************************************

When I got to the house I slipped inside quietly as not to wake anyone up. I walked into the lounge room to get to the kitchen and there stood Emilia, her Mum and Dad. I just stood there clearly surprised as they continued to look at me.

I gulped knowing what they wanted to say, and said 'Morning'.

Emilia's Mum, Cassandra, simply said 'We need to talk'.

Damn! I hate lectures but it was nice to see them still looking out her me. Emilia patted the seat on the couch next to her implying to sit down next to her. So I sat on the very comfortable dark grey couch and waited for the talking to start.

Emilia's Dad, Jonathan, said 'You need to start school again (a) because you need an education (b) you have to look after the future alpha'. (I had told them about my looking after the future alpha.)

I knew I probably looked the a fish my mouth was opening and closing and my eyes were wide open. I pretty much just sat there gobsmacked, literally.

I knew I wasn't going to win this argument so I simply said 'When do I start?'

It was their turn to be gobsmacked, I'm sure they were expecting a fight but I really didnt have it in me to fight today.

Eventually Cassandra replied 'On Monday'. Its Saturday so I turn to Emilia with a grin 'Lets go shopping'.

I had a feeling that they also wanted me to go because they wanted me to find my mate. Both Emilia and I haven't found 'the ones yet' as Cassandra says.

Emilia and I raced to our room to get ready to go to the shopping centre (or the mall). I chucked on a blue printed singlet top and laced short shorts that weren't too short. Emilia put on pink short shorts and a green top.

I quickly curled my hair and straightened Emilia's before we headed to the car. Emilia was a year older than me and had her license so she drove.

Neither of us had breakfast so on the way we grabbed some pancakes from Macdonalds. I rarely ate take away because I tend to eat healthy but there's always exceptions.

We stopped in the parking lot and finished eating our pancakes drowned in syrup and butter. Gosh I love pancakes!

When we jumped out of the car and I turn to Emilia with a big smile 'Let's get shopping!!! I need clothes for school that aren't lame and aren't slutty'.

Emilia giggled 'Sure..I wouldn't get you anything that bad, now would I?'.

That's when I remembered for my 16th birthday, almost a year ago now, Emilia had bought me this short black dress that was revealing to say the least. It barely covered my bum and showed to much cleavage for my liking. I had never ever worn it and don't plan to.

I realized I hadn't answered Emilia and said 'Yes you would' with a 'duh' tone. Emilia just laughs and says 'Let's just go'.

1 hour later...

'Emilia!!! Which one??', I asked her for the 49th time. I couldn't decide out of a summery colourful dress and a floral sleeveless top with denim shorts.

I already knew exactly what I would wear the first day of school and couldn't decide out of these other outfits.

Emilia sighed and said 'Just get both'. I smiled and agreed otherwise we would be there for hours, well you know how it is when you can't decide what to wear.

It was 10am and we had only been shopping for an hour and both of us had around 3 outfits each. Emilia already attends school so she would have to tell me who was who and who was classified as a what.. Etc.

'Gabby! Stop day dreaming we are going to the next store'.

'Sorry Em I was just... uh... Thinking', I replied and hurried to catch up.

By lunchtime we were finished and were about to go grab lunch when someone behind us screamed out 'EMILIA!!!!'.

We turned around to see who I'm assuming is one of Emilia's friends.

Emilia screamed back 'HOLLY!!'.

Emilia quickly introduced us and I found out that Holly's last name was Charter and she loved swimming. Holly was quite pale but it suited her, she had almost white hair tied in a messy bun on her head and a nose ring. She was really pretty.

Sensing a man looking our way, I casually looked around and saw him seated on a chair to our right. He looked suspicious even to a human, I caught his eyes as he looked me up and down. He smirked and winked before looking back at his newspaper.

I excused myself from Emilia and Holly claiming that I had to use the bathroom.

I felt a presence behind me and knew he was following. As soon as I entered the bathroom I went behind the door. A second later he was there looking around for me. I grabbed his arms with more force than needed and put him in a headlock.

'What are you doing in the females bathroom?' I sneered clearly pissed at the lustful look in his eyes. He was clearly a rogue, the increasing rate of rogues had me worried but I wasn't scared.

He laughed he actually laughed 'I could ask you the same question.. No female let alone human female has so much strength', He stated matter-of-factly.

'Sexist much', I sneer but knowing it was true and those were the last words he'd ever hear.

I used my belt to strangle him. Surprisingly he lasted a few minutes rather than seconds making me think who this guy was.

I used the backdoor and found a big rubbish bin that was often taken and burned. I casually swung his body into it and brushed my hands too easy..

I headed back to Holly and Emilia.

I offered Holly to join us for lunch, because it was midday, but she said she just had some so we said our goodbyes and see you at school and with that we went to lunch.

I ordered a simple salad while Emilia had a Chicken Caesar Salad wrap. She claims that it's yummy and healthy but I'm pretty sure the saturated fats in it beg to differ.

When we got home I said a quick hello and we're back before putting our new clothes in the wash and doing some simple training with Emilia. We did a few hundred sit-ups and push-ups without even breaking a sweat, needless to say I almost doubled the amount of training Emilia did but I've had a few more years practice.

I started wondering what high school was going to be like: Would Emilia's friends accept me? Will I have to catch up on much? Will I meet my mate?
