The Ace And The Heart

"Ais, mama's calling you. " She hopped off the bed and left her room. There her mom stood outside her room. "Ais, would you like to eat dinner with mama? " She asked in a sweet voice. She gave her a disgusted look. She walked away and headed to her grandpa, Henry. "Grandpa, can I have something to do? " She sighed in frustration. "Of course, dear. " He laughed. The white haired man scanned his papers. "Here. " He gave her a paper.

She raised a brow and let out a laugh. "Grandpa, it's another Chinese? " He laughed with her so that he could satisfy his granddaughter. "Yes, dear. You may eliminate him now. Just read that paper. " He said. She nodded and started reading.

May 13 : Meeting in the Fancy restaurant at 8pm.

"Grandpa, how much money did you got? " She asked. "Well, maybe a triple of a hundred? " He chuckled. He never told her that exact price of the money they receive from their clients. Her mouth shape an o. The door opened and there stood her another grandpa, smelling like liquor. She decided to leave. She checked the picture of her prey. It's obviously a Chinese businessman. He should have pissed the client.

The prey looks like a geek because of his hair and glasses.

She stopped by the guard dog. The boy vowed in respect. "Be careful, my lady. " He said his head still down. "How many times do I have to tell you do not call me that. " She tsk. "I cannot disobey the orders, my lady. " She passed by him and headed to the gate. She pushed the gate effortlessly. The butler vowed. "Be careful, my lady. " She just nodded. She was just bringing a buken with her. The Butler gave her a coat but she refused. She just guessed that not all the people in their town have seen her picture already, but just those who have lots of money. "But--" She stared at the guard with the coldness in her eyes. Her eyes we're filled with bloodlust. The woman stepped back a little in realization, her master's eyes clouded with bloodlust, she mustn't interfere. She vowed in respect. Aissle looked away and continued walking, her buken in her right hand. She pulled her Hood to her head. Whistling, she looked up at the stars shining brightly in the deep night. She grabbed a cookie in her pocket and started chewing. The bloodlust in her eyes disappearing as she walk.

She reached the city. She climbed a tree and hopped on an apartment's roof. She run on the roofs, hopping here and there. She saw the fancy restaurant. There it stood after two more buildings. She sat on the roof of the restaurant and let her feet swing. No one can notice her presence but if you look up the roof then it's probably weird to see a child sat on the roof swinging her feet. She looked down on the cars stopping in front of the restaurant and waited. After a few minutes of waiting, she heard a rather much bigger applause from under her. Her grey orbs are now clouded by bloodlust with a creepy grin on her face. The door of the car opened and there stood a smiling fat Chinese man with thick glasses. She can see that he's here for money. The man waved at the people and smiled for the cameras. She gripped on her buken. She jumped down the building with her Hood on. She caught everyone's attention. She jabbed the bodyguards who mocked her first with her buken. She didn't want to waste time any longer. She jabbed the man's stomach and then to the heart, fast enough no one saw her do it but only a little bit of her color. It was a bloody scenario to everyone but it is not for her. Two jabs are not too bloody. She didn't get her buken a lot of blood at all. She left the place whistling, no one noticing who the killer is, too fast to see. Everyone was busy on checking the bodies. There was a splash of blood in her pinky finger. She put her little finger near her nose and smelled the blood.

I smelled the blood on my little finger and coughed. I haven't smelled the sweetest blood yet. This isn't enough to satisfy my needs but I mustn't move for useless bloods, it is true that I won't know if a person is useless or not unless I smell his blood. I don't get it myself, bloodlust is very natural to us but when I kill I, most of the time, can't satisfy myself. It is hard to get of the lust.

I jogged back home. I stopped in front of the lady I have hurt a while ago. She vowed. I held up her chin and shoved a cookie in her mouth gently. She nodded and ate the cookie. It was my way to apologize to our employees. I pushed the door open and left her. I climbed up a tree and hopped my way to the fence. I hopped down when I saw the boy yawning. I walked my way towards him. He vowed and kissed the back of my hand. "Welcome back, my lady. " He said in a rather sleepy voice. I held up his chin to face me."Does intruders come in the middle of the night? " I asked in a gentle tone. "There are possibilities, my lady. " He answered. "I'll let the other butlers to stay in your place, you have to sleep. Don't you remember that you're just a kid like me? " I laughed. He sighed. "Even though you're an employee of killers I know that you still have your emotions and feelings. " I shrugged. He chose not to answer. "Let's go. " I said. I pulled him to a cottage and gave him a box of cookies. "You never agreed to anything I have told you. " I whispered. He must have heard me because I saw him glanced at me. "Remove it, please? " I asked. He removed his eye patch as I smiled. "I don't have any idea how to cure my boredom in this place. " I said letting out a long breath. He just looked at me while chewing the cookies I gave him. "Don't you want to be friends with me? " I asked. He looked away.

"Don't you want to be friends with me? " There was innocence in her face when she asked. Caden looked away. She stared at him. There was a long silence. "Don't you like me? " She asked. She was talking about to being friends. He chose not to answer. "Do you like orders? " She asked. They we're sitting on a chair and there's a table between them. He looked back at her with a glimpse of innocence in his eyes. "Do you? " She once again asked, confirming what he really likes. He was still silent. "For my very first order for you... Be my friend. " She said with a grin. She leaned forward the table and tackled the boy. "Must. Not. Disobey. " She laughed. The boy laughed with her in force. She stopped and gave him a sweet smile. "Can I? " He sighed in frustration and finally replied, "Okay, I will. " It was an informal way to talk to his master in his ears but she wasn't paying attention on this, it was because she wants him to be her friend. She gave him a hug, a rather very friendly hug. He didn't hug back, hesitating about orders. "You're my friend now right? " She asked. He took this as an order and hugged back. "Sweet dreams, Caden. " She said with a smile on her lips and pulled away from the hug. She left the place with a smile on her face. He was smiling  too. "I cannot, my lady. " She stood up when she disappeared and headed back to work.

"How was work? " Mike asked with a grin on his face, it was mocking her. It was Aissle's older brother. He's two years older then her. "Not that fascinating. " She replied. The grin on his face disappeared as his eyebrows twitched in annoyance. "You can't be so arrogant! " He stepped in front of her, blocking her way. She spat on his face and smiled with sweetly. Her sweet smile was full of sarcasm. He groaned. "Get out my way, Mike. " She ordered. It was an arrogant way to talk to her older brother in his ears. "Huh? " It was a mocking tone. She stared at him coldly and silence filled the room. "You're done? " She broke the silence filled with a thick tension between them. He tsked. He walked away stamping his feet. All the proof of his anger and annoyance are painted on his face. She headed to her bedroom and grabbed a book and started reading.

"Father, why did you called us? " Verna asked. She was a lot of a lady. "I found a match for your daughter. " The woman gasped and smiled in joy. "Let me see the papers? " He gave her the papers with a picture of another assassin but not their relatives. "Oh, tell them the meeting will be 1 month after. " She clapped in a formal way but the old man can see how much excitement she has. He chuckled. "I can't wait to see her expression on this kid. " The other old man said. "I don't know if she'll accept this one. Despite of all the orders she obeyed there's still possibilities that she wouldn't like this one, an arranged marriage. "
