The Devil's Assassin

10

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

Isabelle/ Nicki's POV

I woke up wheezing and drenched in sweat with my throat hurting. I turned to my bedside table and saw a glass of water. I quickly downed the whole glass and placed it on the table. I rubbed my neck and a searing pain ran through it.

I got up from bed and walked into the bathroom straight to the mirror. I gasped as i took in my reflection. My whole neck was bruised and my eyes had bags beneath them. I stripped and stepped into the shower. The cold water helped me think better at this point.

Andy had been through a lot. A lot more than I can imagine. Steph.... I wonder who at all that could be and I would be toeing on a thin line if I ask Andy who she is.

Come to think of it, how would Andy think of this? He would be traumatized by this. I sighed and stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my body. I walked out of the bathroom and almost screamed bloody murder when I realized that it was Tristan sitting on my bed.

"Goodmorning Nicki" he said without looking up from his phone. "Get out" I mumbled. My voice was barely a whisper and I started coughing. He finally looked up from his phone before noticing my condition. " What the fuck happened to you?? You look like shit and oh my god did a truck hit you last night?" I suppo-...

I shot him a glare and he shut up immediately. I walked into my closet to dress before I started explaining to him. "Macy was here" I started. "You mean the ass kissing, stuck up mission thief?" He blurted.

"No my great grand aunt idiot". I slipped on my pants and t-shirt before stepping out. "She shot Andy with a dart full of terror but luckily I gave him a drop of antidote. Before it could take effect, his nightmares had developed and he thought I was someone named Steph. The situation reminded me so much of my brother and I was in too much shock to defend myself. Before I realized he was slowly squeezing the life out of me and I blacked out."

"What happened with your brother?" He asked, before handing me a scarf and my school bag.

I swallowed and looked up at him with cold eyes. "Why do you ask?" He slowly raised his hands before shrugging. "You said the situation reminded you of your brother." I looked down and stepped out of the room. "Its nothing to bother your head about. That information stays between me and the agency."

We walked down the stairs, picked an Apple before we left for school. Tristan took his motorbike while I took my car. He whizzed past me as I smirked and stepped on the gas.

I pulled up into the first parking space before adjusting my  scarf on my neck. I stepped out of the car  and I was instantly tackled by Emma. "Oh my god yesterday where were you? I called your phone so many times but it went straight to voice mail." I winced as she wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me. "I wasn't feeling too good so I went to bed early. I hope I didn't miss anything fun."

She talked about a party hosted by one of the popular jocks, Connor, who happened to be the coach's son. I zoned out till I heard "-well that was till Andy showed up drunk as shit babbling about Connor making him agree to some bet else he would loose his place on the team. He mentioned one of our old friends,Steph, who left the town because her dad had been transferred to New Orleans."

I stopped at my locker, swung it open and stuffed my books into it. "He passed out a couple of minutes later before Anna took him home. She was crying when she entered to car. Oh and not to mention that she bitch slapped Connor before leaving. Now that was a sight to see." I remained silent as I picked up my chemistry textbook. A package fell out of the locker with a red bow on it. Emma picked up the package and pulled the bow off it before opening the box.

In the box sat a black lotus flower and a note. My blood ran cold as I reached to the note. Emma read it out loud over my shoulder as she frowned. I have found you my little flower. A little birdie tipped me off that the devil was here for me. Your locker wasn't hard to find. This flower is my token to you. I hope you cherish it till I get to meet you my dear. Until next time.

"Ooohh, Emma teased. You have a secret admirer and he's got an eye for you Ella. I'm so jealous right now. " I tried to force a fake smile but my face muscles refused to cooperate. "Yeah...secret admirer." The bell rang, signalling that the first period had started. Emma skipped off to class, leaving me there deep in thought. I couldn't go to class just yet and I couldn't leave the school like that.

With my mind made up, I stuffed the package into my bag before walking into Tristan's class. "Tri- Mr. Cortez, sorry to interrupt your lesson but Mr. Montgomery sent for you." I lied smoothly.

He stepped into the hallway and gave me a questioning look. I handed him the note and he scanned it. His faced paled and he looked up at me. "Whoever it is doesn't know whether its you for sure so you can just play it off. But the little birdie part means there is a mole in the agency leaking information to  Black Lotus and we have to find them and expose them.

For now, keep the package as evidence and after school we will send a safe video connection with the director. You can get to class now."

I walked into my class and the teacher wasn't in yet. I spotted Andy at the back of the class. We locked eyes briefly before he looked away in guilt. I sat next to the late boy, Chris Eaton, who was busy playing Piano Tiles on his phone. The teacher stumbled in with worksheets for us and I sighed. I'm not looking forward to talking to the director.
