The Heart Of An Assassin

Chapter 25

"What are you thinking Kathryn?" Hope asks me. I look at her.

"Have I done anything with dye yet?" I ask her. Hope shakes her head, "good, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Hope shrugs.

"Possibly," Hope says, "does your idea involve dumping dye on someone?" I smile.

"Yes! But on who?" I ask. I think for a moment, "Chevalier!" Hope looks at me wide eyed.

"Wow, wow, wow, you want to dump dye all over Chevalier?" Hope asks surprised, "you do realize that he will kill you for that?"

"I know," I say grinning, "hey if we're going to do this then I want to get some strong purple dye,"

"I'll go and get the dye!" Hope says and she runs to the Manor. I go and find a bucket and I fill it with water. Hope comes back with some purple dye. She puts a heavy amount of the dye into the water, and the water turns into a dark purple color. We climb up a tree, trying not to drop the bucket or spill its contents.

Once we get to a tree branch that is over a trail and one that can hold both of our body weight, I start to laugh a little. Hop looks at me.

"Why are you laughing Kathryn?" Hope asks me.

"Oh, I'm just imagining of what Chevalier will look like once he is purple," I say say while laughing. Hop starts to laugh too. Maybe ten minutes later we see Chevalier walk up the trail, I get the bucket, ready to dump its contents onto him.

Once he gets close enough I dump the purple water onto him. The water hits him and he yells out in French.

"Ce que le baiser! (What the fuck!)" Chevalier yells out in French. Both me and Hope start laughing at his reaction. Chevalier looks up at us, and he glares at us.

"You two better run in the next five seconds, or I'll come up that tree and gut you both!" Chevalier trays to threaten us. I roll my eyes.

"Ohhhh, we're soooo scared!" I mock him.

"Okay you asked for it 5, 4, 3, 2, 1," Chevalier says and he starts to climb up the tree. Me and Hope exchange looks and we jump down the tree. We land safely on the ground, and we start to run for our lives. Chevalier chases us, me and Hope slit up. He can't chase both of us.

I start to run faster. I look behind my shoulder, I see Chevalier chasing me. I run down the trail, but then I wasn't watching were I was going and I ran into someone. I look up and I see Shay. He smiles down at me. I push away from him.

"Sorry Shay, I can't talk right now!" I tell him. I look behind me and Shay stands there dumbfounded.

Shay's POV

"Sorry Shay, I can't talk right now!" Kathryn says like she is in a hurry. She runs off down the trail. Then Chevalier comes running down the trail. Then he stops and he comes up to me.

"Did Kathryn run through here?" He asks in a hurry. Then I get a good look at him. His face was purple, and his clothes were also purple. I try to hold back my laughter, he looked ridiculous.

"What's so funny?" Chevalier says harshly. But I couldn't keep my laughter in anymore.

"You are so purple!" I laugh out. Chevalier huffs and he continues to run after Kathryn. I run after both of them, making sure Chevalier doesn't kill Kathryn.

Kathryn's POV

I continue to run, but then I am tackled to the ground. I land hard on my stomach and I let out a groan of pain. The person makes me lie on my back. I look up and I see Chevalier pinning me down.

His face was so purple. I laugh, and Chevalier rolls his eyes. I push him off me and I get up, and I see that his clothes are all purple too.

"I'm so happy," I say and I laugh some more, "your going to be purple for a week!" Chevalier glares at me.

Then Shay comes running towards us. Shay comes towards me.

"You okay?" Shay asks me. I nod my head. Shay looks at Chevalier and true to hold back his laughter. Chevalier huffs and he leaves.

"Wow, you actually did it, you pranked Chevalier," Shay says shocked. I grin at him.

"Yeah, you know I'm not afraid of him," I say.

"I know," Shay says, I smile, "by the way how much dye did you use?"

"Enough to make the water a deep purple color," I answer, "he's going to be purple for a week,"
