Waking up with a hangover has to be the worst thing ever. Especially when you hear non-stop ringing in your ears.

The three of us all fell asleep in the living room hung over the couches. I stumble towards the phone hanging on the wall.

"Esmeray. I have a mission for you guys."

"Hello boss.." I grunt out.

"The King is having a ball tonight at 8pm, as his parents are coming into town. I need you guys to get in there and assassinate someone."

His parents.

"What? How are we meant to get in? What if they recognise us from yesterday?" I question her, leaning back onto the wall.

"It's a masquerade ball Esmeray, everyone will be wearing masks. His name is Karl Jacobs, he is very close to the King, so he will most likely be near the King. He's threatening me about m-. It doesnt matter all you need to know, is that I need him out of the way."

"Okay we'll be there, Maria.." I say looking towards the girls.

"Good! Don't disappoint me." I hang up the phone rolling my eyes. I look at the clock and sigh.

I finish off dusting off my tight black dress and slide on my black gloves, the mask I have is also black has glitter on it and a stick holding it up to my face covering my nose and eyes. I had black sneakers on, if I had to chase someone, it to be easy.

I walk out and I see Sylvee and Hannah looking as beautiful as ever. I wink at them before giggling and grabbing my purse, I put my knife into it with a couple hundered bills.

We arrive at the doors of the castle and a guard is waiting at the door, we try to walk through the door, and the man puts his arm infront of my waist, stopping me from entering.

"Name?" He has a deep voice.

"Rosemary." Hannah says on edge about the fake name she has just given. The guard looks at the clipboard, adjusting the clip and squinting his eyes, his finger follows up the page and finds Rosemary. He nods, and releases his arm letting her in. We follow behind her but his arm goes back down.

"Name?" He says, his eyebrows knit together again.

"They're my plus one's." She laughs, reaching up his bicep.

"But there's two..?" He says distracted by her hand on his arm.

"Oh I'm sorry sir.." I say, "I thought it said two extra people were allowed, you're not going to send two poor girls home are you..? Especially when they came just too see you?"

"Haha, to see me..? " He said blushing.

"Mhm.." I nod looking through my eyelashes at him.

"Because you just came to see me especially, I can allow it this one time, ladies, but next time please read it carefully." I nod, he hesitates but removes his hand and we enter.

Once we walk into the ballroom, we all give each other a look and burst out laughing.

"That was a random name I though of, I can't believe it worked!" Hannah said. Sylvee slaps a hand over her mouth.

"Say it louder, smartass!" She says.

"Let's split up, we'll find him soon, meet at the garden..?" Sylvee says. We all nod.

"Be careful, love you!" I shout at them.

Everyone knows Karl Jacobs, he's such a close friend of King George's, he has fluffy brown hair, his choclate brown eyes are covered by his fringe most of the time.

I spot him almost immediately. the King is sat on a podium, Dream Taken and Sapnap are sat next to him, Dream's wearing a green suit and a smiley face mask, classic. Sapnap is wearing a black suit with an orange bow tie. I grab a glass of champagne from a stall run by a girl in a pink dress.

I walk towards Karl. He's wearing the same boring tux as everyone else, but with a purple tie.

"Hey.." I say looking him up and down.

"Umm, hi..?" He says looking at me disgusted.

"I saw you from over in the garden, you're quite handsome. what's your name?" I say drinking a sip of my drink. Squinting my eyes from how sour it was.

"Karl. Karl Jacobs." Yes! I mentally celebrated. His eyes trailed down towards my chest. I rolled my eyes.

"Well Karl, people as handsome as you deserve.." I say trailing off, grabbing his hand, leading him towards a room.

It was a bathroom. Once were both in, I lock the door. My lips met his and he grabbed my shoulder, turning us around, now pinning me to the wall. He moanes into the kiss, before his hand meets my waist tugging at the back of my zip.

"Mm take off that mask, pretty girl, I want to see that face." He says reaching for it.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

The handle jiggles on the door. His head snaps towards it and lowers his hand. A voice speaks.

"Karl.. are you okay in there?" I couldn't tell who it was.

"Yes! Just needed to change out of this suit, it's a bit tight." He replies playing with the bottom of my hair, his other hand rested on my jaw.

"Okay.." The voice says back, I hear the footsteps start to fade away. Weights are lifted off of my shoulder. He pulls me back in for a hug, I hug back. He leans down to my ear, his chin leaning on my shoulder.

"Anyways darling, when were you going to kill me? Before or after you fuck me..?" I try break out of the hug, but he has an iron grip on my waist.

Fuck.
