(Hellooo! So the picture above is just to give you a little idea on how Anastasia looks like, and also half of her assassins outfit xD I got the photo from an instagram artist!)

I woke up with a bang on the door, as Sam rushed in throwing a book at my back. "Ouch! What the hell- Sam!" I got out of bed surprised and in pain. "Get up! Get up! We know where Starrick is! Get into this dress right now! No arguments we have no time!" Sam threw the dress on my bed. I got off my bed still in my assassins outfit, probably Jacob put me in bed since I fell asleep.

Evie rushed to the room throwing something to Sam. "Whats that?" I started to remove my outfit. "Lipstick. You're seducing Starrick to get closer. Jacob is going to watch you from above, there's a carriage waiting for you outside." Evie said in a hurry as she and Sam left the room for me to change.

I took a look at the dress before it on, it wasn't big looking, rather slimming. The bottom of the dress was a silk navy blue, as the top part of the dress was in black lace. You could see the top of my shoulders. I put on the dress and wore the eye catching red lipstick, I tied my hair up in a loose ponytail. "Okay I'm ready!" I ran to the other cart as Jacob and Connor both stared at me, jaw open. "You look lovely Anastasia." Evie said coming beside me. Before I could thank her compliment, Sam interfered. "That's what we want. Surely Starrick thinks the same." Sam told in a hurry. "Well cousin dearest, glad to know that." I said rolling my eyes. "Jacob, get going now. Connor you come with me." Sam demanded in a serious tone. "Who made you boss." Jacob said annoyed as he jumped out of the train. "I did!" Evie shouted back at Jacob hoping that he'll hear. "The carriage awaits." Henry said from behind me.

After the short journey in the carriage, we stopped at a destination, I got off and activated my eagle vision trying to spot Starrick. "There you are lover boy..." I said to myself as I hurried next to the carriage he was entering. I walked quickly in front of the carriage, forcing a harsh stop and a shout from a blighter.  "Do you not know how to drive!" Starrick came out of the carriage in rage, until he laid his eyes on me. "Mr Starrick...?" I played dumb and surprised that I saw him. "Anastasia...I thought I would never see you again.." He said amazed. "Well come dear, come inside.." He demanded in his husky cruel voice. I followed his order and went inside the carriage, closing the door behind me.

Inside the carriage was a deep dark violet colour, making his eyes contrast more. "I never thought I'd see you again." I put a fake smile on my face. "Well...what a pleasant surprise.." He pulled out a bottle of wine and poured it into 2 long glasses. "Thank you.." I took the glass from his hand, making sure to brush his fingers. "Where are you headed, Anastasia...?" He took a sip of his wine while his eyes were still on me. "To be honest with you...I was hoping to see you again. I wanted to go to your mansion." I said in a seductive voice as I sipped my wine eyeing him. A dark smirk grew on his face. "Well my beauty, I shall invite you over to my mansion on Friday, 7 pm. Unfortunately today I have business to attend to love." I sighed in relief, but pretending to be sad. "How unfortunate mr Starrick." I said handing him the glass. "Please its Crawford for you." He smiled. "Well my dear, I really do have business to attend to, where shall I drop you? Any certain location?" He asked rather sad. "Its alright, here will do." I knocked on the window for the blighters to stop. Once they stopped the carriage, Crawford opened the carriage door taking my hand and leading me out ever so gently. "I'll see you on Friday, Crawford." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked away.

As I passed by a dark alleyway, a hand popped out of the shadows grabbing my hands and pulling me. I bumped to the smirking man who was Jacob. "Jacob! You're gonna give me a heart attack one day! I swear it!" I slapped his chest. "Oh calm down. How's your new lover boy?" Jacob laughed, but when he mentioned Starrick, his tone changed. "Oh shut up Jacob." I rolled my eyes and walked away, as Jacob laughed and walked beside me.

"I'm having dinner with him on Friday..." I said almost in a whisper. "And you said yes?" Jacob asked as a nodded. "Ah, now don't get too attached, you know whats our plan for your lover." Jacob said. My cheeks went hot, I slapped his arm. "Shut up Jacob! You know I only have eyes for-" The words slipped out of my mouth like soap on wet floor, I quickly bit my tongue not to continue the words that might frighten him. "Oh now now, you got me curious! Eyes for who Anastasia? Something I need to know about?" He stood in front of me, forcing me to stop walking. "Never mind! Forget it, it was an accident!" I said as I turned around quickly but he grabbed me from my waist, making my cheeks red.

Jacob sent us on top of the roofs as he still had his hands on my waist. "More quieter isn't it? Now. Where were we." He said in a playful but serious tone. "Jacob its nothing, I told you! Now let it go." I tried my best not making eye contact with his hazel eyes.

"No...I cant.."
