Beautiful Killer

Chapter 2. Enemies

I run my hand over the scratch that was made on my baby, confirming what I already thought, someone else is dying tonight.

"Wow, that's a shame, that car was a real beauty."

Of course, the only person with the balls to do something like this, my arch-nemesis, Luca Russo.

I slowly turned around to face him raising a single brow.

And just like that, the Raven is back.

The audacity of this man. And to think, this was gonna be the one night out of the year when I only kill one man, oh well, I guess I will have to save that for another occasion.

When the raven comes out to play everything changes. All my senses suddenly become ore active and time stops. For a little while I am at peice. All of my training kicks in and I lose control of my body. It is an out of body experience.

My attention is goes to Luca, and for the time being it is only me and him in the world.

I watch closely as Luca quickly reaches into the side of his jacket. Shit, of course, this is his play. Distract me with my car and then strike. Luckily, my quick reflexes kick in and I take my knife out again and throw it at his head.

This son of a bitch has quick reflexes as well, he dodges my knife right before it reaches his head. What the fuck, he isn't supposed to have reflexes like that. Only a few highly trained assassin would be able to dodge a knife thrown by me. I stand there looking shocked at him and he returns the same look, probably surprised at my knife-throwing skills. Quickly my training kicks in again, and my surprised look is replaced by a cold emotionless grin making my face unreadable.

I look down at Luca's hand and he has a handkerchief, huh, so he wasn't gonna shoot me. I look back up at his face and his shocked face is gone and once again he is returning the same look I am giving him back at me. Funny.

He slowly made his way towards me, I watch him closely in case he made the foolish decision to attack me. He walkes right past me and knels near the car to wipe where the scratch is.

"It's not a scratch," Luca says, stating the now most obvious thing in the world.

"Smartass." I retort while rolling my eyes.

In the short amount of time my eyes use were rolling, Luca manages to dart behind me and push me up against the car.

"I don't take well to people rolling their eyes at me." He whisperes to me through gritted teeth while one hand snaked up to my throat starting to choke me. Had this been anyone else I probably would have been into it. But it wasn't anyone else, it was fucking Luca Russo, my sworn enemy. The person I have hated since before I could speak.

"And I don't take well to people touching me without my consent." I was beyond pissed that this ass decided he thought he could attack me and get away without. I grabbed his hand from around my neck and brought my knee up, simultaneously kicking him in the balls and pulling his hand alng with his upper body forward. Now allowing me to move to the side of him and fling him into my car.

"You fucking piece of shit you dented my car." I knew I was the one that pushed him but it was still his body.

"You bitch your the one the made me." He threw a right hook but I dodge it quickly.

"You're a big boy, I didn't make you do anything." I launch myself onto his shoulder wrapping my legs around him and then twisting him and me in a manner causing him to fall. I knew this was risky, I would be exposing myself and my abilities. No normal heir would be able to execute that move so perfectly. But right now I didn't care, he called me a bitch, and no one gets away with calling me a bitch.
