Hollie's POV: (that's what I think Hollie looks like)

It's been 4 days since we've got here. It was 3 days since we saved the princess, and found out where the hell we were. 2 days since we met the queen. A day since the princess gave us our names.

We all we assigned different jobs, but work together as a group to help the Queen and Princess. Quiet honestly, I'm excited for our first mission today.

Pepper's name was The Princess's Spice. She got the name from when she sneak attacked the butler and threw a knife at him. It added some spice to the scene. Her job is to track down the target and know where they are at all times. Also she gets the odd ball jobs.

Ivy's name is The Queen's Snow Leopard because she can be really serious and cold to you when making a plan or doing work. She also a fighter in the plans usually, resulting in the leopard part.

Scott had the name of The Queen's Snake for his maneuvering skills, and not getting hit when we were practicing in the practice room. He often slips in between the opponents legs. His job is to distract the enemy long enough for me to slip in unexpectedly and kill the target.

Mine was The Princess's Whisperer. The reason why was because I was so quiet that nobody noticed my presents except for Ivy and my other two friends, Amelia is coming along in noticing. Whenever I come into a room where a conversation is happening and speak up, I scare the person half to death. Which is my job, to figure out information by eves dropping.

Together we're called The Queen's Quartet. The newspaper hasn't put out the paper of the Princess getting attacked and who saved her yet, but they are going to soon. Once the public finds out the news it'll spread like a wild fire. Probably it will be a big hit, maybe even bigger than the Phantomhive's stories (IDK if that's a thing). This will get around to Ciel and Sebastian... Soon, but not quiet yet. We still need to preform our first real task.

And that's what we were doing right now.

Unfortunately Scott didn't wake up in time to do his job, so I had to stand in for him. I had already gathered the information on where the group was human trafficking people (the labor kind) in an abandoned factory, which was also off limits. Never know what could fall on you.

There were two main buildings, one where the people were actually being trafficked and another where the main boss was. We were going to take that down first. Remember these buildings were really old.

I opened the old metal gate and slipped in with Ivy behind me and Pepper after her. Quietly walking towards the building we split. Thankfully, this was a sneak in, kill the bastard, and get out by mass murdering everyone else.

Quickly, Pepper and I rounded the side of the house and she snuck in one way while I took the more direct route. I continued to the back of the house where I would climb the trees to get to the window, open it, and kill the guy.

Once we did that the other henchmen came in, but remember what I said earlier? Never know what could fall on you. And, then kill everyone else by mass murdering them. That was exactly what we did. Although, it kinda seems like we're going in suicidal.

We dodged those men and ran into the main hall where there was a chandelier... I jumped onto it, and stabbed the ceiling with my sword. What that did was it started to crack all over the ceiling. With them distracted, Pepper stabbed her sword deep into the wall creating a sickening crack. Ivy did the same, but instead of letting it crack on it's own, she sped up the pace and gave it a hard kick making dust fall from the ceiling. All the workers did was watch in horror at the ceiling and walls, glued into place.

I cut almost a full circle around the place where the chandelier was held up from the ceiling. Pepper saw what I was doing and looked at me confused. I just gestured for the to get out. Pepper took the sign and started running as fast as she could to the door, stopping to yank Ivy along. As they did that I jumped on the chain and cut the chandelier off. It fell, and was falling, falling down. 

I waited for the right time. It was a one second opportunity that decided if I was dead or alive. The chandelier hit the ground shattering all light and turning into blackness. Yanking the part of the ceiling big enough for me to slip through I shot through the hole and onto the clasping roof. Somehow managing to get a hold of a tree limb and not dying.

When the building had clasped fully and the dust was gone, Pepper cheered at our success.

"We're not dead!" She cried, jumping up and down.

"Come back down quickly. We need to get to the other building, no doubt everyone in that area heard it," Ivy said loudly at me as I started to climb down.

When I was back down floor once again, I ran over to the now group of three. Scott had woken up.

"Nice going," he complemented. "Now, we have to go get them over there."

He pointed to the old factory in the distance with people coming out to see what was going on.

With that we ran off to do the second part of our job.

3rd Person POV:

"What's this!?" Someone asked.

"Is something wrong, young master?" They boy's butler asked.

"The Queen and Princess have 4 new..." The first one said, trying to find the right words to complete the sentence.

The butler tilted his head slightly in confusion. "What do you mean, young master?"

The boy showed the newspaper article to his butler. "This!" The boy said with slight anger in his voice.

"Oh..." The butler said, and then he smirked. "It seems the Queen has gotten a quartet together. I wonder what they'll do."
