"The body has just been delivered."

My gaze remained focused on staring out at the lone and creepy street that our agency resided in. A run down and almost abandoned area of the uk we had always lived here for years, it was quiet place on the outskirts of London. nobody walked around at night in this area other than drug addicts , homeless people , drunken idiots , gangs and of course , assassins.

"What's the plan now?" Ashton asked me , incessant on pestering me with his presence.

"He will be on the way." I uttered , watching as the streets slowly turned foggy.

"How are you so sure?"

slowly I turn to face ashton , turning my attention away from the widow I reply.

"I'm not."

I wasn't sure that he would turn up. In fact , I don't think he will. Everything I have been told , everything I know he has done leaves me to only assume he wouldn't give a shit. He only cared about himself and his stupid little reputation.

"I can only hope." I added. Silently praying in my head he wouldn't, I didn't want to see him. But I knew I had to. I had to settle this once and for all. No more secrets , no more lies.

No more fucking betrayal.

"If he's coming , he won't be long, I suggest you get it all ready."

Ashton grinned "want me to help you go over the plan?" He asked me with an excited smile , holding out the dangerously sharp dagger for me to take.

Glancing at his outstretched hands And then at the simple yet sharp dagger I Reluctantly take it from his grasp , twisting the mechanism between my own fingers nonchalantly.

I knew the plan, how could I forget?

It ends up with him dead.

All I had to do was play victim and then stab him , right in the heart.

"I know the plan."

"Good" Ashton grinned "I cant wait to see you kill the bastard, the rest of us are going to get into position."

I nod my head watching as Ashton excitedly leaves my room , he was absolutely loving this all. Like everyone else in this place he too, wanted to see the almighty Nightmare finally be dethroned.

Unlike last time , the task to kill Nieo seemed a whole more daunting than before.
I was the only one who could kill him. Not everyone gets a chance like this.

A part of me didn't want it at all.

a knock sounds from my door and I turn to glance at who it was. The door swing opens slowly and my eyes land on Jude and then the bundle of red running towards me with outstretched arms. I barely had time to hide the dagger in my pocket before he bombarded me "Amiraaaaa" he squealed running towards me. bending down slightly I whisk him up into my arms and spin him causing giggles to erupt from his chest.

I finally place brendan on the floor and ruffle up his hair. He was wearing the same red cape , the red cape he helped me steal nightmares file with.

"Nice to see you little man."

I didn't want to be cliché but he had grown since I last saw him. His light hair seemed longer , fluffier- and he was a whole lot taller. Brendan held a soft spot in my heart , his vulnerability and child like curiosity made me feel all 'big-sister-protective' over him as if he were my own blood brother. I saw myself in him, being so young- unbeknownst to all the danger that awaited him a few years to come. My plan was to keep him as far away from it all for as long as I could. Even as he began to pester me with questions about where I had been for so long I couldn't find it in my heart to be even the slightest bit annoyed. his wide eyes glazed up at me as he tugged my pant leg , anywhere was better than this hell hole. a life like this wasn't meant for someone so pure like him. An adoption centre would do him better than this place. I could check up on him, make sure he gets into school- finds a nice family.
