The Assassin's Curse

Chapter 1, the call

Leif had climbed out of bed, rubbing his eyes as he looked out, 'only 1:00?!' he thought, stretching his arms out as his messy white hair blew out of his face from the open window, which wasn't open moments before. he grabbed his sickles, not trusting what could be there. he was taught that unless you identified them as an ally, they were an enemy. he looked out, but nobody, checked the roof, nobody, checked the entire perimeter of the house, nobody! that was awake atleast, there was a sleeping homeless human, he was tempted to kill, but saw a stomach, then immediately retreated, he was cursed to kill, but he had limits, he would never kill the old, the children, or the pregnant. so he put his sickles away, got out some food and as much money as he could find around his room, and set it down with a note 'hello, i know you're a human and i'm a daemos, but i did what i could, here! and congratulations on the baby...  ~Leif WindWood' he set it all down and scurried back to his room before anyone saw him. but he stopped dead in his tracks after stepping in the window..."aah-aaah" who was singing? it was soft, he couldn't tell who was singing it, he got his usual attire on and snuck out, following the voice, it lead him... to the castle!?, he saw 3 others, curiously walking over, spotting him as well, 2 brothers, Pierce and Rhys Rivers and an only child, Noi Notaxie. strangely, it was his 3 best friends, its funny how 4 people that know each other can end up in the same place. "Noi!? Pierce, Rhys!?" he said spotting his 3 friends. they looked at each other with confusion. they walked in together, watching their backs.walking into the throne room they spotted the royals with their 2 sons, Rhal and Asch. the 4 bowed down as asch mentions something about needing guards, knowing about leif, and how they had been chosen for the roles as his guards. and being a royal guard is an HONOR. the 4 bowed their heads, and were lead to their rooms, letters being sent home to their families...
