The Crimson Assassin

Chapter 4: Reinforcements

I sat upright in the bed quickly. I gasped and grabbed at my shorts. I went to grab my dagger but there was nothing there, my daggers weren't there, but there was one in my boot. I then realised where I was. I was sitting upright in a grey sheeted bed, the room was in a pentagon shape, five walls, tables, cabinets, an en-suite, chairs, clothes spread across the floor, pictures hang from the ceiling and so did a small chandelier. "This isn't my room," I mumbled rubbing my stomach. "You're awake, oh my god Amber," I heard, I moved my head giving me a slight dizzy spell. "Whoa, there girl calm down" I heard again. My vision cleared and i saw Jake. "J-Jake?" I said rubbing my eyes. "Yeah are-are you ok?" he asked, worry in his eyes. "Yeah just a little dizzy. What am I doing here?" I asked. "I didn't know where else to bring you, so I brought you here, helped care for you," he said. "How long have I been out?" I asked. "Just a few hours" he said. "A FEW HOURS?" I yelled a bit too loud. "I got to go, my cousins ill and at home alone, I was only meant to be going to buy some food," I said quickly getting up.

I felt dizzy, sick but I tried to hide it as much as possible, I knew what I needed to help finish the healing process, blood. "I...I gotta get home right now," I said. "Ok," he replied. "Well let me at least take you home," he said. "Hmm...ok," I said, he passed me my sack. "Did you look in it?" I asked. "No, I wouldn't dare, I don't like to open things with out permission, believe me, it was tempting but, I didn't," he said putting his hands in his pockets. I smiled at him thankfully.

I grabbed my sack. We headed down stairs and out the door, luckily we where alone in the house. "Ill be one sec, wait here", he said turning a corner. I waited patiently, I've gotten very good at that lately. He came back around with a motor bike, I gasped. "Is that a Harley Davidson Fat Boy?" I blabbered. "Wow, you really know your motor bikes", he said. "I've wanted one of these for years, never had the money to afford one", I said. "Really? You don't seem like the type of motorbike girl, more of a limo, Porsche or Lamborghini type, probably hot pink," he said. "Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a day dream", I said sitting on it. "Oi, I'm in the front, and did you really quote Taylor Swift?" he said crinkling his face. "Did I? Huh, I guess I did," I said. "Well come on, I wanna hear this baby roar," I grinned, he laughed and chucked me a helmet.

The roar was loud, the kick of the start off rough, the speed...fast as hell...just the way I liked it. We sped through cars and people narrowly missing a few crashes. I gave him direction to my house and when we got there he stopped quickly. "Wow, I remember this house, I used to come here as a kid, My aunt and uncle bought the place a few years ago really, they said they left a week ago so I see you live there now," he said while we head to the door. "Me and my cousin live here, its just us though", I said he smiled. "Well see ya tomorrow?" I asked. "Yeah, see you back in hell" he clicked his tongue and gave me and wink heading back to the bike, I watched and heard it roll off and speed into the distance. I sighed and the door flung wide open. "HE'S SO CUTE" I heard, I turned to see Crystal. "Oh don't give me a death stare," she grumbled pulling me inside.

"What happened with you hey? All I did was go to buy food, "She said holding my shoulder. "I was going for a hunt, and got shot with wolfs bane, I fainted and Jake... my mate found me and took me back to his place and helped me heal, ow, then he brought me back", I groaned. Her face widened "That...was him...BUT HE'S SO HOT!" she said. I grunted and moaned in pain. "Oh  right. Oh jeez, you are really in pain, you need fresh blood," she said. "No, no I'm ok," I muttered. "Bitch please come on",  she said dragging me. She went into the lounge room and shifted the lounge revealing a trapdoor. She smirked and lifted the door and darkness spread inside. We both jumped down landing on a cold hard concrete floor. She walked over to a table with a rug under it, lifting the rug she showed a few buttons, she pressed the middle one and a loud crunching sound came from a wall. The wall had slid across and three doors appeared.
