Achilles on his way to Hell

blue roofed Greece

"I absolutely hate him" were my last words before I drifted away into an undisturbed sleep.

At dawn a raspy voice woke me up. "Morning Astraea" Elaine said. It seemed like she fell asleep even tho she was supposed to watch over me to prevent me from escaping.
The maid led me into the dining room of theo's House where he already sat at the big, long table.

"You're finally awake" he said and eyed me. "You look like a beggar." He added in a monotonous voice.
"oh thank you how generously of you"
I hissed in a sarcastic voice.
"We're gonna set of as soon as you got ready. Hurry" with those words he stood up from the large table and lumbered away. I didn't care to look after him, I didn't even know why I was supposed to help him find my brother.

"So where can we find you brother Astraea" he spoke as we were standing on the Threshold of theo's House.
"Spain" I answered him almost immediately even tho I haven't seen my brother in centuries.
"okay but first we need a detour in Greece. I have to kill someone there"
I rolled my eyes, of course I knew that he was an assassin but why did he had to drag me in there?
I don't like killing people, unlike my brother who was a worldwide known assassin, I didn't even know his name but I wasn't going to tell Theodore that.

After I got ready I stepped outside the door of the Grey house that seemed surprisingly small from the Outside. I never saw it from the outside because I wasn't brought here on my own will, Theo just kidnapped me.
A limousine came around the corner, Theodore told me to get in and I did as he ordered.
The seats were red but everything else was black. "Where are we going?"
I asked Theo, who has standing against the driver's window. He didn't answer. Instead he was talking to the man who drove the limousine. After 5 Minutes he also got into the limousine and poured himself some wine. "May I have some too? I'm bored." I asked him but he just shook his head "You're 18, and also you don't deserve wine this good" he gave me a look that seemed like he's gonna kill me if I just blinked, which gave me goosebumps.
But I knew that he couldn't because for some reason he needed me to find my brother.

I never really knew my brother. He lived in Spain with our dad while I lived in Greece with our Mom. My Mom was a really nice Woman but she was weak and stupid. She tried everything to get me on the right path, to not let me become like my dad. I tried too but we both failed.
When I was 9 years old, my dad left with my brother but until then he trained us to become the best assassins the world has ever seen. That's what scared me, he always said that we could only be good assasins if we didn't have anything that binds us to this earth. Maybe that was true, maybe that's whats made us humans mortal. But for me it was almost impossible. I loved my mom, my dad and also my brother a lot. My dad noticed that and did what he thought was best, he took my brother and got far away from us to continue my brother's training. He feared that my Brother could become mortal through my influence.
He was a cruel man, yes, but I still loved him.

"Hey, are you even listening to me!?" Theo shouted at me. I seemed to have fallen asleep. I looked outside, while theo was still yelling at me. Outside I saw beautiful landscape, White houses with blue roofs and colorful people everywhere! I immediately felt at home when I felt that warm breeze through the Open car window. Suddenly Theo grabbed my Face and pulled me towards him, "Listen to me!" He shouted, "My driver will bring you to a hostel near my family's property here. I have a mission so you will have to life there for a few days if you want or not. You also won't be able to leave the house, to make sure that you don't ill have the hostel well guarded so don't try to escape. " I wasn't thinking to but now that you mention it... I thought to myself. I rolled my eyes at him and just stared out of the window again. I wonder if my Mother still lives here.. Maybe I'll try to find her and ask her about my brother and dad.

After a little while the car finally stopped and I stepped outside, infront of me was a tiny hostel which seemed
dilapidated but I heard two Greek men shouting from the inside which signaled to me that it was not. Theo grabbed my arm and pulled me inside. He talked to the men in Greek and they nodded at him, a few second later they pulled me into a small room that smelled like mold. There werent any windows, just a small Oillamp on a nightstand. Next to that was a small bed made out of very old wood and a strawmattress.
Where are we, 1960?? I continued to look around indignantly, but the room was empty except for the bed and the nightstand. I sat on the bed and stripped of my shoes before I let myself fall into the uncomfortable straw thing.

Right when I was in the middle of my sweetest dream I woke up from a loud banging on the wall behind my bed. The wall seemed to be very thin and suddenly a knife came through the wall.

I'm really sorry for the long wait but I forgot to publish it lmao

My grammar in this part is really bad because English is not my mother tongue and it's really late for me in Germany.
