A Will To Complete 《Book I》

CHAPTER XIV

Author pov

A fifteen-year-old assassin strides through the woods, the sound of her comeback boots crushing the fallen leaves is drowning the sound of silence in the peaceful place. Her long black hair is tied in a ponytail, A kevlar vest is strapped to the young assassin fit frame, exposing the sleeves of her black compression shirt, and black cargo pants are hung low on her waist, sheathed dagger hangs from the holster on her left thigh another one on the right, while a gun nested on her hip, those are the only weapon you can see, who knows what is under.

She is breathing heavily from the distance she has been running. the orders she was given were clear.
don't get caught.
but not clear enough to know who is the Hunter and that is what fears her the most,

She comes to a halt when she hears a slight sound from distance it could be a wild animal but she can't risk it.
She closes her eyes and tries to detect the direction of where the sound is coming. It's coming from the north but whatever it is, it's heading towards her she runs in the opposite direction trying to make as much distance from it as possible. Then an arrow comes storming toward her. it cuts her on the cheek. But she doesn't care about it she keeps running. She takes out her dagger in each hand, she doesn't use the gun because she doesn't know where to shoot, and wasting bullets isn't good in her situation. Something heavy falls on her making her fall flat on her face. They keep her in the ground whoever they are they know what they are doing.

"Well.
Well.
Well"

They whispers in her ear making her shiver. Their voice is deep but still feminine, they are holding her by pressing her hands down by their knees and pushing her shoulder to the ground.

"You are not a bad runner it took me a while to locate you but you fell into my trap when I placed those speakers to make you come to me"

She staps them on both of their knee making them release pressure and by that she moves her arms away grasping them by the shoulder and throwing them off. She gets up quickly and grasps her dagger in a fighting stance, one leg in front one leg back. hands crossed in front of her face daggers pointing. Ready to defend she will not attack because she doesn't know what the person in front of her is capable of.

They get up and gather themselves they look at the minor's eyes all she sees, is cold no emotions, nothing. they haven't seen a trainer like this most of them are overconfident or too chaotic but this girl is something else.

They swing first the minor dodge it and grabs her hand and throws her away but before the older assassin touches the ground they grab her by the clothes and brings her down too. They fall apart and get up and continue for a minute,
one attacks the other dodges it and swings again and the cycle repeats itself.

They come to the point where they are both bleeding from their nose and the little cuts the dagger has caused. The older assassin wipes the blood from her nose and says "not so bad but let's be serious. there have to be either two reasons why cheif assigned you to me in the entering test" she says with mischief in her voice. She holds two fingers up "he either thinks you can beat me or... You have someone from above that wants you dead"

Their words hit the young assassin home, her eyes go blank they take advantage and swing their leg knocking the young assassin down that bringing her back but that is too late she is now down and they are holding her leg in a way that can damage it.
"Looks like it's the latter." They push it making the young assassin scream in pain "so tell me trainee, who wants you dead at the same time they're powerful huh?" They push it more and her scream is getting louder

"who?" they push it again and her scream gets louder so that people from far could hear it. they smile "wrong answer" and they push it all the way and a crack sound appears the young assassin growls in pain they let go of her. she holds her broken leg in mourn and squinting her eyes tears escape with a sting feeling. 

"not good enough," they say before they hit her head with the bottom of her gun. making her go unconscious.

Lilith POV 

I jolt from my bed awake hardly catching my breath heart pumps rapidly in my chest I am sweating and my eyes are watery from the painful memory.
I look around the room trying to compose everything. the red light from the clock coming from my nightstand catches my gaze it says 5:10 am. 

I release a breath of relief. I put my head in my hands and take another breath and another until I am mostly calm. I get up from my bed and head to the bathroom I splash my face with some water and change from my sweaty clothes I was looking for a baggy shirt when I glance at myself in the mirror I look at the scars on my hands and back and shoulders even though there is a lot of my tattoos are covering.

then I notice that one scar on my stomach that shoots pain in my heart.
"I need coffee," I thought while getting out of my room and heading to the kitchen. the house is dead silent there is no sound except the sound of the guards patrolling around the house and changing shifts.

I go into the kitchen and noticed some bread is out and turkey and some cheese on the island. looks like someone was having a late-night snack
I take out the coffee and put it in the machine and place the pot at its entrance. I rest myself on the counter throwing my head back waiting. 

"Who the hell wakes up at five in the morning to make coffee" I hear Alexie comment entering the kitchen. I glance at him he is holding a turkey sandwich.
"I will answer that after you tell me who the hell eats a freaking turkey sandwich at five in the morning" I replied annoyingly." I was hungry" he answered "and I am thirsty" I add while pouring coffee into my mug.

"when you're thirsty you drink coffee?" he questions "every person has his quirks" I answer while taking a sip of the warm substance while looking outside the window the moon is the only light in here. 

I take a deep and release it. there is that weird feeling that has been bugging me since last night when I lost my patience with Alexie. "look, Alexie, I just wanted to speak with you about what happened last night-"
"no" he cuts me off "you were right I forgot my manners and I wasn't supposed to doubt you in the first place" he explained "but I overreacted and it was too much"

"no, as you should I was disrespectful and I forgot my place you are my bos-" 

"no"

"don't say that. you are my brother and you have every goddamn right to disagree or speak your mind. I don't want our relationship to be tied up with business. I have never had any family member besides dad and I want to learn. give me a chance to learn cause in a few days we are going to have more siblings hell there are seven and I don't want us to end up in war and I can't do that alone I will need you and Kazimir, especially you" I frustratedly stated. "so will you be with me" I asked as I step closer extend my hand

"Always"
