Assassin's Love

Chapter 4

Zander's POV:

I slowly got up and ready to go. I planned to just go to the store today instead of going to James' home. I was deep in my thoughts as I got ready to go.

"Hey, dumbass! Hurry up, we're leaving!"

"You're leaving, Maria. I am getting ready to go to a friends house to work on a project."

"Fine dumbass!"

I heard the pleasant sound of the door slaming shut. I finished getting ready then headed toward a nearby mall. When I got there I walked around and looked at clothes for school.

I heard distant shouting and debated on going over. I sighed in defeat knowing despite being an assassin it was in my true self to help whoever was in the middle of a bad situation.

I paid for what I had in my hands and then walked calmly over to the area. I saw it was Elliott's little gang of "friends".

"Excuse me, retard, ass, and then of course bitch, back off."

"The fuck! Who do you think you are?!" They walked over to me and I looked past them and saw James, terrified.

"Your worst nightmare." I said in a dark, deep, and quiet voice.

James' POV:

I stared in fear at what was unfolding. They had guns in their back pockets and someone threatened them... this was only ending badly.

"You little shit, you'll pay. Get him!"

The person jumped up and seemed to flip knocking out two of the people. He then shifted and kicked the other in the gut, and it looked painful as fuck. The other guy fell back and he kicked him in the groin I gasped and hid my eyes.

"James, it's OK." I peeked between my fingers and saw Zander there.

"Wha... How... what the?" I had no words for this situation.

"You all right?"

"Yeah... thanks..." I looked up sightly and came eye to eye with- I froze.

Vibrant green eyes. Zander seemed to notice and stiffened. He quickly put on some sunglasses and walked toward the exit, that is until two guys jumped in front of him.
