The Curse

Chapter 20 Humorus Conversation

*My mind was more than a little foggy. I felt warm. It wasn't the warmth of a dying fire. It was warm and didn't smell smoky it smelled...sweet like honey. I inched ever so slightly closer to the warmth feeling something brush  my head. I cracked my eyes open then blinked sleepily. I was met with Drake's green eyes.*

"What are you doing?"

"You know you smile when ya sleep right?"

"Do not,that doesn't answer my question though."

"You do,as for your question if I remember correctly you were the one who snuggled with me last night."

"Me laying your head in my lap is not snuggling."

"I am not talking about that."

"What are you talking about then?"

*I moved over to the tree with our cloths. Too tired and sleepy I threw Drake his cloths.*

"Umm before I tell you,could you please put some cloths on?"

*I looked down and realized I didn't have any cloths on. I put my hands on my hips giving myself a sassy look.*

"Tell me first then I will."

"You sleep drank and ended up crawling under my cloak."

*I gave a blank blink then began wrapping my chest with my back facing Drake.*

"See cooperation gets you places faster with me."

*I looked behind me and Drakes face was that of a tomato.*

"Hey at least I look good."

"Vain much?"

"Correction if I was obsessed with my looks then why would I wrap my breast every day and dress like a guy?"

"You like girls?"

"No. Due to this era being where ya can't go anywhere without having a guy with you it makes moving around easier."

"Point taken."

"Hey toss me my cloak."

*Drake tossed me my cloak and I undid the broach of a dragon slipped it on over my shoulders then fastened it back on. I slipped my knee high boots on finishing my look. Drake had started to pull his cloths back on and was fastening his belt when I had finished.*

"Hurry up or I am leaving ya and taking Kit!"

"Hey he's mine!"

"Then get a move on it!"

*I walked up to Darkshadow which knelt down and I jumped and swung my leg over he got up carefully and once I was settled Drake had just mounted and we were ready to go; the small pot which was strapped onto my satchel was small in looks though it held enough room for a meal for three.*

"So where exactly are we going oh so great Night Assasin,or was it Devil Tammer,or perhaps-"

"In company Night Assassin just by ourselves Ivy.As for our direction I am heading west you need a better weapon than that flimsily sword of yours and I need some repairs on my weapons. I know a good weapons master in the assassin league,well retired assassin anyway."

"You know I think you are a lot more social than you make out to be."

"Uhh,no in the Assassin family everybody,except perhaps the older guys in the guild and a few of the younger ones and rookies actually like me. The rest of them,if they team up will take that money offered in a heartbeat to kill me, even in the Assasin family,I have a price on my head I am both respected, feared, and hated the rookies won't touch me the retired gents love me,the middle aged guys fear me and then the assassins around my age hate me the only thing they have in common they all respect me."

"So exactly how high is that price?"

"Depends on where I am at and who is being hired. For haters the lowest two thousand gold for rookies ten thousand for the retired ten mill gold and for the Middle aged about twenty thousand gold."

"That's really steep."

"I get around so much before when I was a rookie it would have been one copper though after a year it mounted up to two hundred gold after eight a thousand gold from there the more places I went and the more people I met killed,and left half dead and later died the higher the price got I am the most well know assassin in fact my ratting is a triple S rank the highest you can go I might be the most well know,but I am also the one that has the least know large on me. Nobody knows my actual age due to the fact I change my appearance and voice so often."

"If somebody were to get ahold of your identity,what would happen?"

*I laughed at this thought.*

"What's so funny?"

"What you said,if somebody found out I was a girl the assassin business would probably kill each other due to embarrassment at not knowing their best and most well know assassin was in fact a girl!"

*Drakes question had put me into such a good mood I had on a smirk the rest of the ride replaying his words I've run through my head chuckling about every five minutes or so.*

(Ok well I am in a really good mood today cause well I have inspiration for another book out of the-----I dont even remember all of the books I am working on😅 well guys certainly give me good inspiration! Welp that's it enjoy the read!)
