The Heart Of An Assassin

Chapter 16

I wake up in Shay's arms, and my face facing his. I smile. I bring my hand up and I caress his face. Then I brush my lips on his. He still doesn't wake up.

I frown, as he is snoring soundly. I get up and I put on my assassin robes. I look over and Shay is still sleeping. I sigh, and I climb back onto the bed and I get on top of him, wrapping my legs around his waist. I lean down and I start kissing his face.

Shay wakes up a little startled. Then he puts his hands around my waist and then he flips me over so that he was on top of me. I giggle a little. He kisses my lips my lips roughly. My hands push on his chest a little, but he pins my arms onto the bed.

Shay takes of my coat and he throws it on the ground. He starts to un button my shirt. I get a little concerned.

"Shay stop," I say loud enough so he could hear. But he continues. He loosens his grip on my arms and I push my hands harder on his chest, "Shay stop!" I almost yell. He stops what he is doing.

I get up from the bed, and I start re buttoning my shirt. I put my coat back on. Shay touched my shoulder and I flinch a little. I look up at him, and he pulls me into a hug.

"Kathryn, I'm so sorry," Shay says with gilt in his voice. I smile and I kiss his cheek.

"It's okay," I simply say. He gets dressed, then he puts his arms around me.

"Happy Birthday," Shay whispers to me. I smile remembering my birthday. Today I turn 18. Shay takes my hand we walk out of our room.

We walk outside. Liam comes up to us.

"Shay, I need you to cut some fire wood," Liam tells Shay while handing him a axe. Shay finds the wood and starts chopping it with the axe. I sit under a tree, Liam sits next to me. He hands me something. I look down and I see a little wooden figurine of a wolf, my favorite animal.

"Happy Birthday," Liam says. I look at him.

"Liam did you make this?" I ask him. He nods.

"Yes, I know that you said you didn't want your birthday celebrated and that you didn't want birthday presents , but I couldn't let you not have one," Liam explains. I hug him.

"I love it," I smile. I haven't celebrated my birthday in a long time. I didn't want to because the memories of all the birthdays that I had with my parents would be too painful. I pull away from the hug, "Thank you," Liam gets up and he walks to the docks. After a few minutes I see Liam walk up. I smile.

Then I see Achilles get up from his chair and goes up to someone. Someone I've never seen before.
