********************************************************

*A few weeks later*

I looked through the window of the wooden house and saw a horrible sight. There, in the middle of the floor, a family had been slaughtered. The mother and father were side by side with a child of about two years old on top of them. The furniture had been scattered everywhere and all the mirrors had been broken...odd. There was a rustle behind me and I spun around with my bow and arrow at the ready. A man walked out of the shadows and raised his finger to his lips. "Shhhhhhh" I put an arrow in the nob and pulled the string to my face. He just chuckled and wagged his finger as if to say"ah ah ah". All of a sudden, my bow was in splinters and he had a knife pressed up against my neck. He opened his mouth,"BEEP BEEP BEEP!" Wait what? BEEP BEEP BEEP! I slammed my hand on the alarm clock to stop the really annoying beeping. I shook my head as the last remnants of the dream flew away. It has been a few weeks since I started to train to become an assassin and I am in such better shape than I was back then. All the chub that I had has been replaced with tough muscle and my body has filled itself out a little better. My breasts are a little bigger and my curves are a bit more prominent. In the words of some of the guys who train with me, "I look hot". I grabbed a pair of sweats and turned on the shower. I looked at my reflection and saw that my hair was a birds nest and I looked like a zombie with sleep still stuck to my face. I stepped into the hot water and moaned in appreciation. Thank god for hot water! I lathered my hair up with shampoo and conditioner and relaxed. I almost fell asleep again but managed to keep myself awake.

Over the past few weeks, Rachell and I have become sister friends. She gives me tips and advice when I need it for training and I give her tips and advise for her relationships. She and I do pretty much everything together and we have excelled at the same rate. Tomorrow, she and I are getting assigned our first missions! I am over the moon about it, but she seemed nervous. I decided to take her to a club so I could get her mind off of it and help her relax.

"Ok. Which one?!" she said picking up a red cocktail dress,an emerald dress with no straps, thigh length, and a deep purple spaghetti strap knee length dress. "Hmmmmm I like the purple one!" I said pointing to it. She nodded and rushed to the bathroom to put it on. I chuckles and looked at my choices. A blood red strapless dress that went to about my knees and had ruffles on the breast, a pacific blue off the shoulder dress that went to mid-thigh and hugged my curves, or the emerald one. When Rachell came back out, looking gorgeous of course, I held up the dresses. "Oh my God, the blue one! It makes you look sexy yet sophisticated!" she squealed. I laughed and went to the bathroom. I slipped on the dress and nodded at my reflection. The dress highlighted my curves but didn't make me look slutty or desperate. I curled my hair and put on a deep red lipstick, some mascara, and a dark blue eye shadow. I put on my teardrop earrings and slipped on my silver stilettos. I walked out and Rachell started squealing even more. "Omg you look beautiful!!!!!" she hugged me," We are going to attract so many boys!!!" We laughed and headed out the door. Since we live in a dorm, some of the other assassins were out. We received a few wolf whistles and lusty looks but we kept our heads held high and walked out. When we reached the car, we couldn't keep it in. "Hahhaha did you see all the guys? I swear, I could almost see drool falling out of their mouths!" I couldn't stop laughing. We finally calmed down enough to drive to the club.

We stepped into the club and met a few of our friends. "Hey Sasha!"I screamed over the music. "Hey Destiny! You look amazing!" she screamed back. "So do you!" I was grabbed from behind and almost flipped the person until I saw that it was Rachell. She giggled knowing that I would react like that and I rolled my eyes in return. "Come on let's dance!" she dragged me to the dance floor and we both got lost in the music. After a few songs, I decided to head to the bar. "One bloody Mary please." I said to the barman. He raised his eyebrow but fixed my drink. I sipped it slowly, letting the alcohol do its work. My muscles immediately relaxed and I became a very happy person. There wasn't enough alcohol to make me drunk, but there was enough to make me dizzy. I found Rachell making out with some guy and went back to dancing.

Apparently, jumping up and down with alcohol is not a good idea because I really had to use the bathroom. If I were a bathroom in a club, where would I be? I found it right next to the bar and thanked my lucky stars. I walked out feeling refreshed when I was slammed into a wall. I was about to put my training to use and break whoever had me's arm, but a deep, gravelly voice whispered in my ear," Don't even think about it." I looked into his eyes and whispered," Hale."
