An Assassins Life

Prologue

-Jessie-

I was walking home late from work. I had to finish some paper work that I didn't want to do but had it to be done. I couldn't afford a car yet. I was saving up because I needed an apartment and food more than a car. I walked by an ally not thinking anything about it at the time.

Out of nowhere a hand covered my eyes and a rag covered my nose and mouth. I tried not to breathe in because I didn't know what was in the rag. I was pulled into the ally way I'm guessing. I tried and tried to get out of this dudes grip but failing epically. Trying my best not breathe but then my attacker elbowed my side making me gasp. I got a strong whiff and I could tell I didn't have much longer of consciousness. I hear a car pull up.  Oh no! I start to panic. I felt my body giving up. Well this is where I die.  I guess I get to see my grandma and grandpa earlier than I thought. That's when I slipped into the darkness.

-1 Day later-

I slowly start to wake up. I have this horrible headache and this pain in my side. I open my eyes. The light was blinding causing me to squint my eyes. I opened them slowly. I look around to see I'm in a white room. There is a tall, muscular man standing in the corner. I try to push myself into the opposite corner hoping that I could just disappear. I take a good look at the man. He has brown hair, big arms that are covered in tattoos, a gun on one side and a machete. That really scared me.

He starts to walk to the table and looks at me. Huh. I never noticed that. I guess my fear blocked out everything but me and the man. "I'm not going to wait all day. I have things I need to do. Come sit. I will not hurt you. " The guy says. I try to get up without falling. I'm wobbly my first few steps but I become more stable. I get to the table and sit down. The seat was freezing.

"Hello my name Tyler. You're probably wondering why you are here. Well, you have been chosen to work with us. Now 'us' is a secret assassins league. Don't freak out. I will explain to you what we do here. We get assigned targets. Things we need to understand about this target. Then we terminate the target.  That's the end of it."

" Why do you want me? Why not a person in the military or someone that at least can fight? I can't defend myself at all. " I was so confused. Like why me? I can't do nothing except for file reports.

"Well the reason you were chosen was because you aren't married, have a boyfriend, live with anybody, or have an important job. You are basically a ghost, not to offend you. The reason we didn't choose someone in the military was because they work for the government and they have to many rules. And about fighting, you will be taught in all varieties of weapons and ways to take someone out without being exposed. Your entire wardrobe will change. You won't be the shy person in the back, but a confident woman that isn't afraid to speck your mind. You have the choice of joining the league or being killed. Make your decision wisely."

Well everyone is like choose the league but I have never been a bad person. I was always the nerd getting straight A's. I can't kill someone, but I don't want to be killed myself. I guess I'm going to have to join.  "Ok fine I'm in. What do I do now?"

"Ok well you can't go home now. We will have people sent over to your house. Is there anything that you dearly need? " he asked.

"I don't want people going to my apartment. How do you even know where I live?"  I ask angrily.

" Like I said we research the people we target or pick up. We can't allow you to go to your apartment because we need to start training you immediately and we don't risking you running." he states looking like he is starting to get angry.

"I wouldn't run. What about my clothes. I only have the clothes on my back. Could you at least take me shopping? There are some personal things that I don't want anybody seeing. Please take me to my apartment. I don't care if someone goes with me just please let me grab some things."

He sighs. "Fine. I will assist you. Once we get everything filed on you we will leave. Then we can go shopping for you to get some workout clothes. We will also have to find you a room in the camp. The camp is where you will be trained. You will learn more about it when you get there. Prepare to go through a lot of hours of training. Before all this happens though we will have to have you do something for us. It will make sure nothing bad happens."

"What do  have to do? You took me from my home and took me out of my comfort zone. What do you want me to do?" I was getting really mad now. You seriously took everything from me and now you want more, like who does this.

"Calm down. I'm no getting mean with you so don't get mean with me!" He yells at me. That took me back a little. He takes a deep breathe then puts his emotionless mask back on. "All we need you to do is fake your death. That may sound scary but a lot of people have done it in the league. It's so people can't track your family down and use them as leverage.  That's all you have to do." I look at him. Think about it for a minute then nod my head yes. "Ok good. We will pay for the funeral. We will make it a closed casket. All you have to do is breathe. We will have holes in the casket so you can breathe easier. Then when they lower you into the ground and cover you with dirt we will create a crawl space for you to get out. The crawl space will be about 400 hundred feet, then the tunnel will go up. That is were you come up from. There will be a car waiting for you. They will take you to the camp. Your stuff will be waiting there for you. It may sound crazy and impossible but it's not. "

Sitting in that casket was not fun I had to listen to all of my family, friends, and even my boss all talk about me. I tried my best not to cry because then I make a noise. I had to just sit and wait. I felt my casket being moved. I think I was being lowered into the ground. I could feel the casket being weighed down. I waited about 10 minutes. Then I pushed the wood flap on the top of the casket. It was a little hard to push but I got. I started to army crawl down the crawl space. I have been crawling for a while now. I stop to calm my breathing. I start crawling again, when I run into a wall of dirt. I guess this is where I stop crawling and try to get on my feet. The word try should be in all caps. It was hard. I have to jump to try and get to the top so I can grab onto the grass. I grab something then pull myself up. I finally see sunlight. That is a relief. I am now above ground. I look around to see that I am on the other end of the cemetery. I start looking for the car I'm suppose to get in.

There is a black Maserati waiting for me. For a second I just stood and stared. The window rolled down to see the guy that was in the room with me. He didn't look happy. "Get over here now. We don't have all day." I run over to the car. I open the other door. The interior is amazing. It's black leather with red stitching. I was in love and I was only in it for a minute. I heard the guy clear his throat. I look over at him. What does he want now?

You know what's weird is that I don't even know what my name is. "What is your name? I mean you know mine but it don't know yours."

"Oh. I'm sorry. My name is Tyler, Tyler Johnson. Is there anything else you are curious about me that you need to know?" I looked at me funny. I don't understand why. 

"Well I have a few. Why were you chosen to be in charge of me? How many years have you been working for the league? Then what are you best in weapons wise?"  He thought about it for a second. Then he responded with.

"I was chosen to be in charge of you because I was exactly like you before I started. I have been in the league for 6 years. I have lasted longer than most of the assassins. There is one person other than the leader that has been in the league for 10 years now. If you have lasted for 3 years than you get to go to different countries to work. It's actually fun to go on those trips. The best weapon for me is katanna."

This is how the first day went. I have had my ups and down. The camp directors worked me to where on some days I couldn't even walk so I had to crawl to my barrack. I had to train for about a year. I am now a master in all weapons. I had to learn how to box and karate. I am actually thankful that Tyler picked me up.
