Theodore is a Greek assassin that lives in Kingsley (US) He's trying to get revenge on the person who killed his wife.
The aesthetic of this story is dark academia and I'm very excited to continue this story! This story will includes Greek gods and...
I was walking down one of the many dark roads of Kingsley. Usually this road was bright and full of gleeful people. I miss those times. I looked into one of the side roads, right next to a trash can sat a beggar. *he's dead.* I thought in an almost monotonous voice. *why am I so used to death? It's almost pitiful...* I looked down on myself. I was dressed in all black, I looked like a shadow but I liked it that way, I didn't like being noticed by people
After I got out of the road I saw a small Inconspicuous house in front of me, normal people would've just walked past it but I knew exactly that this house was more than just a tiny normal house at the end of a road. It was the house of a royal family. Well, I personally wouldn't call them royal, they were more of a family of death, it was my family.
I silently entered the house and right when I was about to go up a staircase I saw a tiny grey blackish cat. "Hey little one" I bent down and looked in its eyes, they looked like little honey jars but its look was cold as ice.
The cat jumped down the stairs and left through the door. I didn't look after it. I never really liked cats because I had one when I was a child. My mother beat it to death.
When I was finally in my room I stripped my shoes off and fell on my bed. Earlier this day I had to chase some people down which made my feet sore. "Elaine" I called, Elaine rushed into my room "yes Theodore?" "Oh Elaine, how many times have I told you to call me Theo?" I said annoyed while I eyed her. "I'm sorry Theodo- Theo." she bowed and I rolled my eyes. I hate when people treated me like I am better than everyone else.
"how is she doing?" I asked and got up to look after the girl I'm talking about. "she insisted on speaking. She said that she would only speak to her brother" Elaine said with a shaky voice. "so where is her brother?!" I said with a guttural sound in my voice as we walked Into the cellar. "that's the problem sir, she won't tell us" I groaned angrily. *we need to find her brother.*
As we reached the basement I saw her sitting in the middle of the tiny, dark room, tied to a chair.
"you look pathetic Astraea." I groaned. She told me that her name meant 'of the stars, heavens' once, but now she looked more like a left behind stray cat. "Hello Theodore Ashni", she hissed those words like I was the evil one in this situation. "Elaine you can leave now." I ordered. Elaine left and I walked to Astraea. I cupped her face and spoke in a soft voice "come one now tell me where your brother is. Or I will hurt you. Even more than you ever hurt me* I smiled, but it wasn't a happy smile. It was a cold and hostile smile. My face was close to hers. She took the opportunity to spit into my face. I jumped back and looked at her with a disgusted face "don't you dare spit at me you filthy slut!"
"I will tell you where to find my brother but only if I can come with you to find him. " Astraea said with an evil smile. I thought about what she just said and came to the conclusion that it would probably be fine. "fine. But if you even think about betraying me, I will personally slit your throat and you will never see your brother again." Astraea smiled again and then carefully said "I won't betray you Theodore." I cut her ties and she stood up. "follow me" I demanded and she did as I said. When we walked up the stairs from the basement, I thought that I saw the cat again, it was probably just a hallucination. I decided to forget about the cat and showed Astaea a room where she could sleep in the rest of the night. "we will leave at dawn" I told her and told Elaine to watch over her so she couldn't escape while I was resting.
I got back into my room and stripped of my clothes. I stood in front of the big mirror in my room and admired my muscles. I always thought of myself as quite attractive, I had fluffy black hair and lots of tattoos. *If I wasnt me I would probably have a huge crush on me* I thought to myself. I looked over to the bedside table where a picture frame was standing. I picked it up and looked at it. "I miss you Celeste." in the picture was my dead wife. She passed away way too early. We were only freshly married but she was the head of a famous assassin family so there was a high bounty on her which was the reason for her death and also why im trying to get Astraea to talk. Astraea is the Sister of the assassin that killed Celeste. I want to get revenge...
