Davian who might not be the nicest man meets Verena whom he falls deeply in love with and decides to change just for her. Verena who is sweet on the outside but a cold assassin by heart, starts changing for Davian as she starts to feel and know what...
"Verena?" I sigh hearing the voice of Tim through my earpiece.
"What have I told you about using my real name when we are on a mission." I answer in a low and monotone voice as I walk through the hallways. I was dressed in a white long sleeve button-up shirt, formal pants, and closed toe heels. I had been infiltrated into this company for the past month or so, feeding information to my uncle on who runs the said company. Today was the day to bring everything down. I walk through the long hallway, get in the elevator at the end, and press the button for the 12th floor. I open my briefcase and pull out a blonde wig, dark glasses, black pants, and boots. Once I am able to change I press my earpiece.
"Is it ready?"
"Yup, I was able to turn off the cameras before you even entered the building, smart right?"
I roll my eyes while closing the briefcase and the elevator opening. I get suspicious looks but in a quick motion, I take out my gun which already has a silencer on, and proceed to shoot every single one of them in the head. If they weren't part of this ring, they would have been spared...maybe. I knock on the door of the last office to the right.
"Come in"
I open the door, walk in, and close it behind me. His eyes drop to the gun that I was holding and I see as he tries to reach for the button under his desk.
"I wouldn't do it sir."
He looks at me furrowing his eyebrows, he recognizes my voice, funny.
"Sapharie?"
"No, not really. You can remember me as Onyx, and I have come to deliver a message" I grin as his eyes widen. Good. I love how my nickname seeps fear through these men. All the same, they always think they are untouchable. That is until they see me in my uniform or hear my name, well my nickname. I don't let him make another move as in a flash I am behind him and get him in a chokehold until he passes out. Having to get him out will be a pain...why did he not put up a fight? I look under his desk and...ah great, he was able to press the button, well no shit I did give him time. Well, this should be fun. I make him drop on the floor as I take the wig off and the glasses. This time pulling out a mouth mask from my pocket and putting that on as well as tying my hair in a high ponytail. As the men barge in the room, I put on some latex gloves and look at them, 3 of them. I can tell they look satisfied, do they think that they will be getting out alive?
I waste no time as I rush towards them, dropping myself on my left hip, outstretching my left leg while having momentum to glide on the floor and through them as I slash two men's ankles. Once I reach a stop, I spin myself on my left foot while being crouched, outstretching my right leg and having my left hand on the ground. The uninjured one aims his gun at me and shoots two shots which I am able to dodge and rush towards him unarming him and jabbing him on his chin. I see the other two also pull out their guns but I use the man I jabbed as a shield, bullets going into his body as I get close to the other two and throw his body at them.
"Fuck he is heavy. Crazy how much a muscle man can weigh." I mumbled under my breath as I pulled him to the elevator. The people from the bottom floors should be dead. Thank the Universe that is dark now. No one should be able to see me through the alleyway. Once I reach the bottom floor and the elevator doors open, I check to make sure there is no living person there and proceed to drag him through the backdoor of the building and into the alleyway where thankfully Tim is waiting. Tim is pretty much our hacker/tech nerd. He helps me when it's long missions like this one. He is also accompanied by Samarah who is our "fashionista", she pretty much helps us with disguises, and Gael who is the getaway driver. The back door to the van opens up and Tim helps me drag this man's body inside the van. Once inside, I close the doors and take off my mouth cover. Only these 3 and my uncle know what my real face is. I sigh as I take off the prosthetic nose, colored contact lenses, and even fake dentures which kind of hurts when I pull them out.
"So this is him?"
"No shit" I roll my eyes as I sit on the floor of the van and Gael speeds away.
"How come he hasn't woken up?" I look at Samarah, who asked the question, and smile a little.
"Well my beloved Lilac, I was able to sedate him when I killed his men. Ah, I also got you this." I say as I reach for my briefcase taking out a bracelet that has a lilac flower charm and hand it to her. Her eyes shimmer as she takes the bracelet and looks at me
"Thank you Verena"
I smile at her and look at Tim who furrows his eyebrows looking at me. "What? You look stupid"
"How come she gets presents on almost every mission and we don't?"
"Maybe because she focuses on the missions, is always alert and never side quests to a bar or to have sex" he opens his mouth to counter-attack my words but shuts it when he knows it's true. I can't count the times I have had to save his and Gael's asses from my uncle thanks to these two smartasses almost screwing up missions with their stupidity.
After what seems forever, we reach the dropping point. It is outside of the city and into the forest surrounding these areas. At a point, we have to leave the van behind and walk on foot while Tim and Gael drag the man.
"Uh Onyx," I hear Samarah and turn to look at her "he seems to be waking up." Tim and Gael drop the man on the floor with Gael kicking his left side pretty hard to which the man groans and I sigh walking towards them and taking out a syringe.
"Time to go back to sleep" I whisper as once again, I sedate him. Gael ended up carrying him on his back so we could move quicker and quieter. We walk until we reach 'The Cabin' where I first put on my mouth cover once again and knock in a sequence after which the door opens and we walk in. This cabin is pretty much the torture house. In the middle is a small couch, which my uncle is sitting on right now, in front of it is a table where they usually lay their victims, and on the right at about 5 feet is another table with the tools that he will be using today. Looks like he will be having a lot of fun. Gael walks over, dropping the man on the table in the middle, and gets behind me once again.
"Well done crew Melinoe", that is our name as a whole. (Melinoe which means ghosts or nightmares.) The 4 of us bow in respect and turn as the two men by the door open it and walk us outside. Once we are out, they walk back in and close the door while we start walking back to the van. It's a beautiful night with a bright moon and stars. We walk until we reach the van and leave back into the city and into our apartment building. Gael puts in the code and the gates open, we go in and he finds our parking spot on the third level. We all get out and rush to the elevator where I click the 16th floor.
"I cant wait to finally sleep on my bed"
We all nodded as we hadn't been able to sleep on our beds thanks to this stupid mission and having to rent an apartment near that company. When we reach our floor, we all go to our apartment, we girls go through the kitchen and into our bedroom rushing inside our bathroom where I end up winning the shower. The guys had gotten into their room as well.

(Let's pretend both bathrooms have showers and baths)
Once I shower, I braid my hair and get into my pajamas, plopping on my side of the bed and sighing.
"Hurry up Samarah," I say in a little whiny tone as I get under the comforter and get comfy. Minutes later the lights turn off and I feel Samarah get on her side of the bed and under the comforters as well. With that, I drift away into a deep and good sleep.
