The Devil's Assassin

9

Announcing Ms. Macy, our best ranking agent for securing the queen's crown jewels.

I was the one who saved those jewels not her but she managed to knock me out and take the credit for it.
--------

"What are you doing here?" I spat.

"Awww someone's still holding a grudge against me. Isn't she just cute?" I watched as she walked around my room before she laid eyes on Andy. "Someone's got herself a loverboy right?",she grinned mischievously as she stepped closer to him.

I whipped out my dagger and stood infront of him. "You will stay away from him and MY mission have you heard?"

"Now what fun would that be? I suggest you go get your antidote unless you want his worst nightmares to scar him." With that, she jumped out of the window.

I turned to look at Andy and to my horror he was shivering and sweating. What antidote was she-

I rushed in to my walk in closet and pulled out the shoe box under the closet. I opened it and pulled out the blue vial. I rushed to Andy's side and poured a drop in to his mouth and the shivering stopped. I just hope I wasn't too late.

I placed the vial in my drawer and turned to look at Andy and saw him standing behind me with his pupils dilated. "You weren't supposed to say a thing. I told you the truth that I had fallen for you but you still told Anna. Why Steph? Tell me why!"

I flinched and slowly backed away. The antidote would take five minutes to cure him but this terror inducing drug had almost destroyed my life almost a year ago and I just hoped Andy wasn't too far gone.

"Andy I don't know what you're seeing but you need to snap out of it. Please I know you can fight this." My back hit he wall as he towered over me. At that moment an all too familiar scene was being repeated infront of me and I was in too much shock to fight back.

"The only thing I need to snap is your neck." He wrapped his hand around my neck and lifted me off the ground. I gasped for air as he tightened his grip. Black spots littered my vision as his eyes started clear and I blacked out.....

Andy's POV
"Steph, you are the first girl I have ever loved and I have come clean about everything but there are some things that need to be remained hidden from Anna." I whispered.

"Andy, you know that I can't keep it from her. The boy she has hopelessly fallen in love with has cancer and he has only two months to live. How do you expect me to keep that from my best friend?" She blinked back her tears furiously.

"Steph, there is something else I haven't told you. We placed a bet on you to see who could take your virginity first and I'm sorry th-"
She raised her hand and smacked me before picking up her jacket and walked out the door.

"But I fell in love with you"I whispered to the wind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You will pay for telling the whole school and Anna about it."

"Andy I don't know what you're seeing but you need to snap out of it. Please I know you can fight this."

"The only thing I need to snap is your neck."

I stumbled back and let go as Steph's face morphed into Isabella's face. I rushed to her side and took her pulse. It was strong and fast. I carried her and laid her on the bed before rushing to her bathroom. I looked in the mirror and my skin was pale and my eyes were bloodshot. What had come over me? I swore to forget about Steph and bury the past but it's back to haunt me. Isabella.... I grabbed a towel and soaked it, went back into the room and placed it on her bruising neck.

I'm sorry.....
