~??? POV~

"You understand Zander?! You are to kill him! Kill James!"

"Of course, sir, but, do you have my payment?" I asked, smirking.

He tossed a bag at me and I caught it then looked at the contents. I nodded in confirmation and waved as I left, grabbing my sword and guns that I had to put away while I spoke with my employer, Elliott.

I left and headed into town, sneaking around in my black coat and black mask that covered one eye, my nose, and my mouth. I saw the building come into view and scaled the building. I got to the top and silently and gracefully dropped down to this "James" window. I glanced in and scowled, he was awake.

"Damn it..." I muttered silently.

I waited an enternity for him to sleep. Once he finally fell asleep I smirked. Time to take action.

~James' POV~

I felt as if I was being watched as I went around preparing to go to sleep. I went to my bed and lied down, faking sleep. Just as I was going to fall asleep I heard a creak. I acted as if I tossed in my sleep and ended up on my stomach with my hand under my pillow, gripping a pocket knife I keep there for protection.

"Hm... I actually feel sorry for having to kill you..." I heard someone murmur.

'Someone wanted to kill me?! What the heck!'

I stayed calm as I heard them approach me. I waited then heard someone draw a sword. My eyes shot open at the noise and I sat up, staring at the man.

"W-who are y-you... g-get out!" I stumbled, trying to sound tough, trying being the keyword.

"You were awake?" The person said, sheathing his sword.

I still had my hand under the pillow as I gripped the knife tighter. He stared at me for a moment. I couldn't see any of his features, it was too dark. I heard him sigh and shift slightly.

"I can't kill someone as beautiful as you. Just stay out of Elliott's sight and we won't have problems." He said.

I froze. Elliott hired an assassin, I think, to kill me?! My best friend?! The only person I trust?!

"W-wait... E-Elliott?" I could hear him shift again as I spoke.

"Yep. I'll go, get some rest, cutie." He said.

He then left through the window he came in through as I stared, shocked. I was lucky that Elliott went to a different school than me then, but still... he hates me so much to kill me? I stiffened as I remember what that guy had said and a blush tinted my cheeks.

"He said I was beautiful..." I murmured, lying down and falling into a restless sleep.
