The Crimson Assassin

Chapter 11: Sisters Alike

We sat at the top of a huge tree, darkness of the night gaining. I explained to her about how I got out of the house, our aunt and Crystal, the orphanage and The Markers Pack and whats going on here. "Ok, that makes a lot of sense," Holly said. "How?" I asked. "Well because of what happened to me," she said. "Tell me," I said. She sighed and looked up at me.

"When Caleb came into our room and told you to run he picked me up. When we got to the stairs, a fireball came right to us, as you know Caleb is a water kitsune, as soon as the fire hit us, Caleb used up all his energy to put his water aura around me to save me. He told me to get out of the house, so I ran to the front door, I could feel his energy dying, and as I got outside the whole house blew up. I tried running into the forest when someone caught me. They where hunters," She said, she unzipped her jacket and showed me a symbol on her shoulder. The left side of a wolfs head, a bow on the back of its head and the words 'Hunters Of The Moon' underneath.

"They told me that they were going to have a meeting with mum, that she wanted to have peace with each other, for our sake, that they will not hurt us or our family, they were heading to our home but...the fire. They wanted to respect mums wishes in another way, by taking care of me, and because I was at such a young age they did not want to kill me. They raised me like their own children, just like a normal child should, but inflicting leadership onto us. Then when I reached the age of 7 the started to get into our training, they pushed me harder than the rest because of my abilities. They sent me on hunts all over the country to hunt and kill or capture dangerous people. Only a few days ago did they assigned me a new hunt, for you," she said. My head went down.

"I was told of you, about The Crimson Assassin, I had a feeling it might be you but everyone said you were dead, it wasn't you, it was someone else, and I believed them. They said you were powerful, the most powerful, but never told me what ability you truly had. They sent me alone out here to hunt, or capture you, either one. I heard a few things on the news about you. This is all the information I got," she said. She pulled out a phone from her pocket, she un locked it and passed it to me. On her notes, there was so much information about me, my kills, my movement, everything. "Jeez," I said.

"Yeah, I know. I have been following you for about three days, found you here. When I saw your aura and eyes, when you turned it on it ignited mine, I knew it was definitely you" she said, Holly was nearly crying. "I feel like a monster compared to you," I said. "Well you have been made that way, you said the death of our family was hard and you got worse, I would be the same," she said. I smiled at her. My hood was off and I felt more my self.

"So, found a mate yet?" I asked her swinging my legs. "No, not yet," she replied. "What about you?" she asked. "Look over there, at the graveyard," I said pointing to the graveyard. "Yeah," she said. "See that boy in the black clothes, brown hair, he's kneeling next to the grave," I said. "Yeah I see him," she said. "That's my mate," I said. "Wait...what? Then why are you not over there with him?" she asked. "Well, you know how I said I'm looking for a target, that's him. My undercover name was Amber Shrine, I found him and realised he was the target, there's meant to be stories about us, the most powerful girl and male are mates, when marked they have the power to destroy or raise the earth, or so on, so on," I said. "Wait you said 'was Amber Shrine' whats that supposed to mean?" she asked me. I took a deep breath in. "The grave he's standing at is Amber Shrines, The Markers Pack are here, in Ferrington coming to help kill him as he is very, very powerful, I know I can't kill him. Im scared they will, so I'm keeping an eye out on him from afar" I said. "Hm, good plan, upsetting but good," she said.

"The thing is, he marked me," I said, she spun to me in shock. "What?" she gasped. I nodded and moved my hair showing her the mark of the double infinity looking symbol. "Wow," she said. "It's getting late," I said. "Yeah I'm tired," Holly said. "Where are you staying?" I asked. "In the forest," she said. "You're staying with me and Crystal," I told her. "What?"

"Im not taking no for an answer Holly, come on," I said.

I jumped from the tree. She followed me. "Let's go," she said. I looked around to make sure no one was watching us and we vamp sped to the house.

"Nice place," Holly said. I did the usual unlocking code the door and it clicked open. "Hey Crim, you're late" I heard Crystal say, she walked up to me at the door. "Who's this?" she asked. "Crystal, remember how I said my mum, dad, big brother and little sister died in the fire," I said. "Yeah, a number of times I have heard the story it was like I was there why?" she said. "This is Holly, She escaped the fire," I said. "OH MY BLADES HI," Crystal yelled she picked her up and spun her around. "What are you like 16, 15?" she said excitedly. "15" she squeezed out. "Oh, I have never even met you this is amazing tell me how you escaped, are you sick or something? Wanna stay here? Oh, I have so much to tell you-"

"Crystal" I yelled to stop her. "Calm girl," I said. "Oh right sorry," she said.

"Haha, im glad to finally meet you too Crystal," she said. "Well Holly, treat this home like your own," I said. "The last time I actually had a home was when it burnt down," she said. "What about with the Hunters of The Moon?" I said. "It wasn't very homely," she said. "Wait, the hunters of who?" Crystal said. Holly explained her story again, and Crystal took it well.

"So you kinda both grew up in a certain type of way," Crystal said. "A Hunter tri-hybrid and an assassin tri-hybrid...kinda," I said. "Why are all the curtains shut in this house by the way?" Holly asked. "Because Crimsons meant to be dead, or has she told you that story?" Crystal said. "I told her, yeah anyone sees me, we're screwed," I said. "Then why don't you just change back to your normal self, I remember you used to always change when we where kids," she said. I looked at Crystal. "Why the fuck didn't we think of that?" I asked. "Holly, you are a fricking smart girl," Crystal said. "Alright, I'll go try that now, I hate having an audience so I'm going up stairs," I said.

I headed up stairs. I looked at my self one last time in the mirror. "Goodbye Amber" I whispered to my self. I thought of what I looked like before I started changing my shape all the time. I felt as if someone was rubbing my body all over, it was weird. I opened my eyes again. Long brown hair with copper colours. Dark blue eyes with white in the middle, A skinny face, a slight pushed up nose, and the slightest bit of Asian appearance, but just so slightly from the amount of power radiation though me, it hides it more. I got changed into some more lazy clothing and look back again. "This is the real Crimson Miret, this is her real look" I flashed my eyes for a second and went back to normal.

I walked back down stairs. "I feel so much more...me," I said. "No shit," Crystal said. I then realised I looked a bit like Holly. "Well who wants food? That always takes it out of me," I said. "The last time I had something was yesterday so count me in," Holly said. The three of us walked to the kitchen and pigged out on whatever was in there. We took Holly up stairs to a spare room I had never actually seen, it was small with a built in wardrobe a window and a bed. "This will do perfectly," she said jumping on the bed, a layer of dust jumped up. "Ok it will do...fine," she said.

"Hey Crimson," Crystal said from down the hall "Can I talk to you for a sec?" she asked. "Sure," I said. I went into her room, computer screens and food wrappers everywhere, that all I can say, cause that's all I saw. "I was thinking that if Jake becomes an alpha soon before the Markers get him, he has a huge chance of surviving," she said fiddling with her nails. "Yeah, that's true, why?" I asked, though why did I even asked I already knew the answer. "Well if we find out a way to...speed up the process so to speak, maybe The Markers will retreat," she said. "Crystal they won't retreat, you know them, get the mission done, but he will be able to have more of a fighting chance," I said. "Ok, so mission go?" she asked putting up a thumbs up. "Mission is a go," I replied. "Ok lets plan," she said sitting down and typing fast on a computer.
