Iced Heart

    "you look good in red" Belladonna says to the king of assassins. "thank you, I thought the cloak being red was to much" the king of assassins says. "no not at all, it gives off little red ridding hood vibes" one of the other assassins says. Everyone laughs except Belladonna and the king of assassins.
"oh come on, you never laugh at anything" the assassin says to Belladonna. "I didn't realize having a since of humor came with being an assassin" Belladonna says looking over her shoulder at the assassin.
" you know what. Your the only one here who never takes there gear off. You always have that stupid cloak on." The assassin says. " just because you take your gear off doesn't mean it's safe. What would you do if we were attacked right now?" Belladonna asks.
" we are at headquarters it's always safe here" the assassin says and laughs to his friends. " And what if i threw a knife at you? Tell me boy would it be safe here if I did that?" Belladonna says turning completely to face the assassin and his friends. "what are you going to do?
We are a league, we don't hurt each other." The assassin says. " and what if I do hurt you? What does that make me, would I still be apart of this assassins league?" Belladonna asks with a tilt of her head.
"look just take off the cloak, I wanna see your pretty face, with a voice like that you have to have some looks" the assassin says and the king of assassins turns to look at the assassin.
Belladonna raises her hand to her weapon belt and flicks out a dagger. She turns it in her hand and as the assassin goes for his weapons she throws the dagger with a soft flick of her wrist. It hits the assassin in the hand and he stumbles back grabbing at his hand.
"YOU BITCH" the assassin yells. Belladonna turns over her shoulder to look at the king of assassins. He gives her a slight nod of approval and she turns back to the assassin. She walks to him and grabs his stabbed hand. She backs him up into a wall and pulls his hand to the wall behind him.
The assassin screams and she twists the knife in his hand. "I'm quite gorgeous, to bad you won't ever see how gorgeous I am" Belladonna says. The assassins eyes widened and she removed the dagger from his hand. He opened his mouth to say something, but it was to late.
Belladonna had already slit his throat the only thing that came out of his mouth was crimson red blood.
Belladonna stood up straight and turned back to the king of assassins and walked out of the bar with him.
Once they where outside Belladonna saw her breath fog in front of her. It was cold but she was trained to not show if she was cold or hot so she fought against her body trying to shiver. The hood of her cloak covered her face so it was easier to hide how she felt. It would of been much colder if it weren't for the padding in her clothing and the mask she was forced to wear under her cloak hood.
"where is Dorian? I wish to speak to him before are mission to Salome" Belladonna asked the king of assassins. " he is on his way to the training rooms, he will be meeting us there"
Belladonna and the king of assassins keep walking to the training rooms, the snow making no sound as they stepped on it from years of training.
"Do you remember why you are going to Salome?" The king of assassins asks. "yes, to pick up your letter from the kings guard". " And Dorian will be there with you if anything goes wrong" the king of assassins adds on.
"I don't see why he must come. Iv been on worse missions by myself. I'm just getting a letter from a guard". " you never JUST do something. There is always something that can go wrong" the king of assassins says. " I understand that's why I don't want Dorian coming, if something does go wrong he could get hurt. I can get out of any situation faster if I'm by myself" Belladonna says. "he is just for your protection" the king of assassins says. " everything if always just for my protection. Maybe I don't want protection".
As the king of assassins and Belladonna get into the training rooms the temperature gets hotter. Belladonna watches as the king of assassins takes off his blood red cloak and sets it on the nearest chair. Belladonna keeps everything on her and follows after the king of assassins.
"hello, Aster" Dorian says as Belladonna and the king of assassins walk into a brightly lit room, with padded flooring and any weapon imaginable on the walls. " I told you to stop calling me that Dorian" the king of assassins says.
"sorry Aster" Dorian says looking at Belladonna and let's out a soft chuckle. Belladonna rolls her eyes at his bravery to call the king of assassins by his first name.
The first time that Belladonna found out Aster was the king of assassins first name was when she was 7. She went to the king of assassins study and told him "hello Aster" and he punished her by locking her in the cellars until dawn the next day.
"hello, Dorian" Belladonna said in a purr. " hello, lovely" he said in the same tone back to her.
