Artificial love turned deep. Two baring souls meant to be. Inevitability at its finest form. But damage beyond repair ripping at the seams of false love. It was supposed to be a fast mission 'get in do it and get out' but life never is that simple. Hayse Black came crashing into my life like a tornado. Just as my life was beginning to make sense, my purposes become clear, it was shaken again. "What's it going to be Ariadne? Your parents... or the man you stupidly fell in love with?" He gave me the ultimatum. An impossible one. I look over at my parents who look down at the floor, not meeting my eyes. They've been gone for such a long time but him, he's been here all this time. "Don't be stupid Ariadne. You know what we had wasn't real so just kill me." His words cut through me like tiny knives each picking at different parts of me but the most prominent one being in my heart. His words play over and over again in my head and for a moment I feel the sadness disperse and transferring into anger. Anger at him and anger at my parents for allowing me to think they've been dead this entire time, anger at Xander for giving me an impossible decision. The seconds feel like hours until I look up finally facing Xander who looks at me with a cunning smirk and a glistening in his eyes. It's now or never. Ariadne Hamilton was a fiery assassin, that completed every task thrown her way. Until, she met Hayse Black the cunning leader who convinced her to spare him at the cost of someone's life. Just who's life would pay that fine... HIGHEST RANKINGS #7 in assassin #2 in discretion
