Drip, drip, drip

Water drips from the ceiling. Without taking my eyes off of him, I swiftly grab my gun, aiming it at his head. 

'Don't miss. You have one chance' 

"Are you ready?" The buzz comes from my ear. With a finger against the small device, I give the signal hence beginning the hunt. With one 'boom' my gun fires. The smell of rusty pipes and moldy wood fills my nose before a high pitched sound pierced my ears. Gun smoking and one less bullet, I had finally realized that I had got my target. I quickly packed up my gear, making sure to not leave any evidence. I run out of the sewer and take a picture of the now dead target. Without hesitation, I make my way to the last drop. I fix myself and make myself at least a bit presentable before entering the tavern. I head for the back table. A man in a cloak was sitting there. With my back facing him, I spoke out

"Where's the money?" He glanced over his should, as did I and we exchanged looks. Now somewhat facing each other I gave him the picture i had took of the target before i had bolted. He tossed me a small bag of cogs. I looked through the bag only to see that I was missing at least 600 cogs. 

"What the fuck?! You ripped me off!" Swiftly grabbing my gun, I hold it to the man's head. 

"Pay me the rest or you die" everyone was starring. Vander walked over towards us with his hands up ever so slightly. 

"Woah woah woah we don't want a problem now. Do we?" The man shook his head no. I however kept my stance. "Larke stand down. The nice man will pay you the rest he owes you. Right?" Vander looked over to the man who was currently 2 seconds away from pissing his pants. The man shook his head yes before dropping another bag of cogs and running away. I put my gun away and sat down with a long sigh. 

"Larke you've got to learn how to control your temper!" Vander sat next to me before motioning for someone to bring us a drink. The bartender brought us our drinks and quickly ran back. I sipped my drink quietly before speaking. 

"It's not like being an.." I looked around quickly before whispering "assassin" I composed myself "wouldn't have effects on a person." I stirred my beverage with my straw before coming to a halt. 

"Who did you kill?" Vander asked. I looked at him. Shocked. Usually he says not to bring any 'work' home unless it was for the good of the people. "Some rich man that owed that dude some money" I leaned back in the booth and I watched the fire lit candle dance around. Vander grunts before getting up. 

"Violet and the others are back.. you should go check on them. Powder was getting the most hate from the boys." He turns around and walks to the bar. I furrow my eyebrows and let out another long sigh. I stood up and walked to the basement door. Walking down the steps, I come in contact with vi. 

"Hey what's up?" Vi asks. I raise my eyebrow as if asking where powder is. Vi sighs and points to powder's tent and walks off. I make my way to powder's tent and take a seat right outside of it. I knock on the floor and ask to come in. A faint 'come in' could be heard and that's all I needed. 

Powder was playing with her money bomb. Chuckling I sat down and faced her, taking her hands. 

"What happened?" "I.... ..........." powder mumbled the last couple of words and turned away. 

"What was that?" I ask her again this time putting a hand behind my ears.

"She blew something up" a voice said. Powder was visibly getting frustrated. I turned around to see Mylo standing in the door way. 

"Nobody asked you" I turned back around. "But you asked her and she didn't respond so I did. What's the problem?" "The problem is that you're blaming a little girl! She didn't mean to do it." As if on cue, vi walks in and smacks Mylo in the head. "I already told you to knock it off" Mylo, rubbing the back of his head, turns to me. "I just answered your question! Jeez!" And with that he stormed off. Honestly it's getting a bit aggravating listening to Mylo always blaming powder. But I guess that's family for you. I go to take a seat when suddenly, an alarm rings and everyone scurries away, me included.

Hey everyone! I hope you liked that first chapter! I did give y/n a sort of code name/assassin name that you will be called by in the future. Of course I'm not ruining any of the future chapters. But just know that it will be interesting. Until i write again
