Love From The Shadows (Book 2)

Seconde Chance

I Saw the Executioner pulling his axe up to chop my head, I closed my eyes waiting for the strike but then, I opened my eyes seeing the crowd shouting waiting for my end. I heard a big gasp in the crowd and I look at the Executioner and he looks frozen then blood started coming out from his neck and his head felt on the ground, then I saw 3 assassins and the crowd screamed for help and started panicking and from nowhere a huge cloud of smoke was coming my way and I heard an unknown voice whispering to me:

-It's not judgment time-

He lifts me up and shoots his grappling hook and fled the scene with me but now I knew who the real traitor was but I just couldn't believe that it was him all along. With a lot of questions in my mind I saw the assassin that was carrying me through the roof and I get free and I take a look at him and say:

-Who are you? What is your name? And what business do you want with me?-

He said to me:

-We came here to help you, we knew this would happen and we saved you. Come with me and you will see the truth behind everything.-

I look at him loading my grappling hook and bow just to be sure it wasn't a trap and said:

-Okay, don't try anything funny.-

After that we started running again through the rooftops until we reached their hideout I see the assassin knocking the door and saying:

-I got the Gold! (Someone looks through the peephole) Let me in idiot-

They let him and me in the hideout and looked everywhere and it looked beautiful it had a bigger fountain and library and more resources. I felt like someone was aiming at me from behind their bow, I rapidly get down turn around push the bow against the wall slide and use him like a shield as everyone was aiming to me. When I see it was Tanaka and I grabbed her harder I hear her say:

-AHHHH RECKZY YOU IDIOT THAT HURTS A LOT!-

I put my bow on her head and say:

-Are you here to hunt me down? Cause if you're I will end your life right here right now-

She starts crying and says:

-They told me everything I swear I didn't know about the leader's plan I'm even here to help you, I love you.-

Everyone started targeting their bows towards me and I said:

-I'm not falling for this shit again, all of you stay back or she dies-

I started going to the exit holding Tanaka and the 3 assassin's that save me say:

-You're making a mistake, she's one of us now.-

I looked at her and pushed her saying:

-I can't trust anyone in this world, I am not going to go through the same thing again I am not buying this-

I started aiming my bow at the 3 Assassins and one of them says:

-You got the power to kill us, but there's no reason to do so. We saved your life because we need you in our organization.-

I look at them getting my second crossbow out and said:

-Tell me your intentions NOW!-

One of them came close calmly and said:

-Lower your gun...-

I got mad and pointed the 2 bows at his face and said:

-You don't tell me what to do, I asked you for an answer not an order-

He gave up and started getting nervous as I was getting more furious and said to me:

-We are here to save the slaves, what the Shadow's Fate should've done.-

I lowered my bows but with one of my hands holding my knife and said:

-Hm, okay walk out of the shadows assassins-

There I saw the 3 assassins that saved me, I started to ask them:

-Who are you guys?-

The one of the left introduced himself first he was pretty tall and was wearing a black and gold cape and mask, he went first taking his mask off revealing to me and said:

-Hey Reckzy, My name is Chrétien but you can call me Crix. I'm a Heavy Weapon specialist and I have heard about your impressive histories. Let me be the one to say that your stories have been impressive.-

As he said that he turned around and put his mask back on and left. After that the one in the right decided to introduce himself, he had the same uniform but was a little shorter than Chrétien, he took his mask off and said:

-Hey Reckzy, my name is Roi and I'm a light sword specialist, I heard countless stories of your journeys and it's really just breathtaking.-

As he said that he took off to the library, now the middle one took his mask off he looked at me with a smirk and said:

-And I'm Jehanne, I'm a long sword specialist and leader of this team, my leader wanted me to rescue you because he wants to talk to you, care to join me for the walk there Reckzy?-

I went with him to meet his leader and that's is how my adventure began once more...
