The Artist and The Assassin

Artist to Assassin

Chapter 1
England, Croydon - 1873

"What are you doing?" Charlotte says before walking over to her friend who was whitefly sketching on a piece of parchment paper with a pencil.

"I'm just sketching something up for a project I've been working on." Kyle says as he sketches a couple lines across the parchment paper seeming to try and imitate the likeness of a hooded figure holding a man with a blade to his neck.

Charlotte leans over his shoulder and examines the drawing on it before standing straight up with a look of interest on her face.

"What is that you've drawn?" She asks him as he puts the pencil down beside the piece of parchment paper.

"It's an assassin from around the 11th or 12th century." Kyle says as he smiles at his work that he had finished drawing after hours of working on it.

"An assassin? They're were assassins back then?" Charlotte says as she awaits a response.

"Yea! One of them almost even killed Edward the 1st during Lord Edward's Crusade. He was one of the King's of England." Kyle says before standing up and walking over to a bookshelf. "They were called The Order of Assassins."

"That's rather interesting. I'll have to look into that more but for now-" Charlotte says before being cut off by the sound of the door opening.

"Hello Sir. Hello Madam" Lawrence says as he stands in the doorway. "Are any of you hungry? There's a new restaurant that just had its grand opening."

"That's sounds great! Also I don't believe you two have met! This is Lawrence." Kyle says.

"Hello Madam." Lawrence says while chuckles before raising his hand to offer a handshake to her making Kyle confused about his way of introducing himself but brushed it off as nothing.

Lawrence was tall (5'11) and fit for his age which was 19. He has ivory colored skin. His hair was brown with a mid-length flow like hairstyle. He also has dark red eyes. He wears a white button-up shirt and a black vest with black trousers to match as well as black shoes. He also has on a black bolo necktie with an oval-shaped ruby broach hanging around his neck. He also sports a distinct medium-length black top hat with a purple ripped scarf tied around the base of it. He also has on a black silver ring on his middle finger of his right hand with and old English caption letter L insignia on it.

"Hello Lawrence." Charlotte smirks and grabs his hand and shakes it the both of them lower their hands.

Charlotte was medium height (5'7) and was fit as well. She is 19 and has ivory colored much like Lawrence's. Her long hair was a brown color and is done in crown braids, parting on the left and meeting in the back to form into a small bun. She has blue colored eyes. She wears a white button-up shirt with a black corset and corset cover underneath as well as a black vest over top of the white dress shirt. She wears black trouser as well that match her black boots. She also wears a black silver ring on her right hand, index finger with an old English capital letter C insignia on it.

"Now that we've all been acquainted. We should go." Kyle says as he grabs the parchment paper with the drawing on it before standing up.

Kyle was medium height (5'7) and was fit like the others. He is 19 as well and has porcelain colored skin. He has short brown curly hair parted to the right side, with a white streak in it along the front of his hair. He has light blue eyes. He wears a white button-up with a brown vest as well as brown trousers and brown boots to match. He sports gold circle glasses and silver ring on the middle finger of his left hand as well as a black bow-tie. He has freckles across his nose.
