Normal day, normal everything. I stood on my blue mat, as I practiced my karate. I had this machine I got for my 8th birthday that was made to learn karate. I had already kind of mastered karate a year ago, but it hadn't mattered. Why waste something you've completed? It can still come to good use if you push yourself to the limits, going harder and harder, getting yourself there!

I punched, swung, kicked, getting hit barely ever by the machine. I started to relax myself as I looked down at my beaten up body. One bruise laid on the back of my hand, while an average cut right smack dab on the line where my wrist met my hand. I didn't really care much, I was used to the pain.

I started to regain my strength and head over to my punching bag and bars, where I practiced my flips and aim. That was until I felt a presence. But I kept calm, knowing it was no intruder.

"Dad, if that's you, I'm just practicing. Nothing out of the ordinary." I said, regaining my calm as the same footstep pattern I was used to stepped toward me. It was Hisoka. Not that I hated him, he just treated me a little bit better than father Illumi.

"I was just bored. And I've been sent by your annoying daddy- I mean father, he wants to see you." I look up from my punching bag, and immediately stare with a raised eyebrow. 'Why does father want to see me? Is there another assignment or job I have?'

I blink my eyes and nod, and lip sync an "Ok" and walk out of the room. "I'll be waiting here if ya come back, Ace." I look back and give him a thumbs up and a smile. I then disappear. I walk down the hallways, hands behind my back and looking around at the familiar hallways, with each step I took, I looked around, again and again. That was until I heard something to the side of me. It was coming from grandfather's room.

'I never hear speaking in that room, not unless it's urgent. What's going on?' I thought. I decide to take the risk and spy on the conversation. I listened in, I heard a name I had never heard of being mentioned.

"I feel as though she's being let out too much! We don't want what happened to Killua and that thing to happen to her! Who knows, what if one day she bumps into them?! They would kill her on the spot I know it!" The voice was grandmother's. Was she speaking about me? I couldn't put my finger on it. But there was no other she in this family except her and I.

"Do not worry about it. She knows what she is destined for, Ace will be an assassin and the head of the business after her father. As much as I hated to choose Illumi as the heir to the business, Killua betrayed us, and brought what he calls "Alluka" still, for some reason, out of the house. Illumi was the second choice due to the other children not having what it takes."

My eyes widened. They were speaking about me, and two other strangers who went by the name of Killua and Alluka. I had heard very very little about Killua but when I did, the topic immediately changed every time. Was he and Alluka another Zoldyck?

I ignored it and jolted to father's room. Knowing I was probably going to be scolded for being too slow. I made it to the room with the two gigantic doors standing before me. I opened them to see father standing at the window, looking outside.

He noticed I had come in, but gestured me to come over to him. I walked over to father, and greeted him. "Hi, father." He looked at me sat on the nearest chair from where he stood. I watched his every move. "Ace, I have a job for you." He said with his bland voice. I looked up and gave him my attention, to which he noticed and continued his explanation.

"This man was willing to pay me 200,000,000 Jenny to have me kill this trio of men, but I thought it over, and saw that this trio was very tough, they had much skill, but little to no expertise in the areas you were familiar in. So I saw this as a chance to prove yourself." He gave me all the information he had, and when the best chance to strike was. But he gave me no more and told me the rest was up to me, since this was my job now, after all.

I nodded and looked down. "I won't fail you, after all, I'm a Zoldyck." I said, giving him a smirk, but he just slapped me across the face and said "Don't smile like that, you look dumb, and like your dad."

I gave him a serious frown and lip synced his words in a mocking tone, to which he evilly stared into my soul. I told him I'd be leaving now, and that I'd just be walking to try and get a little bit of energy into myself. He rolled his eyes and just told me to leave. I knew if I failed I'd have a thunderstorm of pain and torture coming my way.

"Not like anything interesting will happen." I whispered to myself. I walked down the hallway, and passed Uncle Kalluto. Although he said nothing, I waved to him, and he annoyingly waved back. 'Hmph, he never gestures back to me.' I thought.

As I made my way down the mountain, all the way through the forest and to the wall that stood before me. It had been awhile since I opened these doors, probably 8 months at most. I pushed again the doors, not breaking a sweat, to reveal the beautiful world ahead of me. 5 doors opened, and to my surprise, it was quiet.

When I got to the city where my job laid, I darted to the top of a tall building, most likely 120 floors. I looked over the world around me and breathed it in. 'Get ready, Ace. You've got a job awaiting you.'
