Becoming the Assassin?

Chapter 1

Nicole's POV

"Wake up Niki its time to get ready!" exclaimed a voice from the other side of my bed.

"NO!" I hollered, just wanting to go back to sleep.

"Today is the day you get THE TASK you cat just sleep through that" the voice said again. I rolled over to see my best friend Sadie staring at me. Her dark black hair and fair skin was the opposite of mine. I had pale skin and fiery red hair.

"But I don't want to get THE TASK" I screeched back rolling over and burying my face in my pillow again.

"You'll get an easy task like mine I'm sure" Sadie said, trying so hard to get me out of bed nicely. Since she was 1 and 1/2 years older then me she had already gotten THE TASK. Her killing task to join the Assassin Alliance was so easy she had to kill a hormonal 17 year old ex boyfriend of some overly jealous girl. One night he got drunk at a party Sadie dragged him to and she poisoned him, making it look like a bad overdose.

"Fine, I'll go shower if you get me clothes, cause thats too far to walk" I told Sadie getting up and put of bed, she ran to my closet to get the outfit that she had been planning for me for months. She always stressed that if I wanted to become the leader of the Assassins Alliance like my parents had been I had to dress my best all the time.

"Why aren't you in the shower yet?" Sadie asked looking over her shoulder.

"I'm going, gosh woman give me some space!" I exclaimed slowly making my way to the bathroom. I peeled up my dirty pajamas as I turned on the shower. I waited a few short minutes then decided the water should be warm enough. I stood in the steady stream of water letting it loosen my muscles and wake me up. I washed up and stood there, too warm to move into the cold bathroom. Suddenly I heard a splash of water and the shower turned freezing causing me to jump out of the water where I wrapped up in my towel immediately. Sadie stood outside the door laughing hysterically showing it was her who flushed a toilet somewhere in the house.

"Real mature Sadie" I shouted through the door while turning off the shower.

"I have your clothes" Sadie responded while walking in. She dropped my clothes and whistled at me, wrapped in a barley butt and boob covering towel.

"Now get out!" I exclaimed at her, she just giggled and walked out. I reached out to put on my outfit and got worried. There was a tight low cutting white shirt, a black leather jacket, super tight jeans, and a pare of kill my feet 3 inch high heeled boots. I put on the uncomfortable clothes and walked out. Oh how I wished I could have a T-shirt, baggy jeans, a sweatshirt and my combat boots right now.

"OMG!" Sadie shrieked so loud she almost blew my ear drums, "you look PERFECT!" with that I walked past her to grab the bag of my needed belongings to go my my first assignment. It would be hard to leave Sadie but she left all the time so I have gotten semi used to it. Ever since that sunny July day I hated leaving anyone important to me. Currently Sadie was all I had.

"Let's hit the road Niki" Sadie said, grabbing my arm to pull me out our apartment door. the Assassin Alliance dorm rooms were right by the mess hall where we were headed for breakfast. We waked in and Sadie piled a plate full of bacon with brown sugar and strawberries. That girl was super skinny but boy could she eat. I picked at a chocolate chip muffin, my nerves of what to come causing me to be almost sick to my stomach.

"Eat something would you?" Sadie said.

"I do to want to" I replied, sounding lien a cranky 3 year old.

"Too bad" she replied, sounding like a strict mother. I walked to the breakfast bar on the counter and took 2 small brownies. "there I'm eating." I told Sadie though she was distracted by some music in her headphones. Minutes later when Sadie finished her food we left, heading to the full auditorium where everyone who turned 16 in September got their tasks.
