My Mate is the Huntress?!

Chapter 1: Taking Off

"You really need to get me a mission, Z. I'm bored. Can't do anything else beside reading all day."

"I'll try to find a good one for you. Wait till tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Are you kidding me? I need it now. I'm gonna die of boredom."

"Oh c'mon. There's no such thing. Ok fine. Wait here." I was about to say more when he added. "15 minutes. Tops."

"Fine."

I spent 15 minutes reading books and listening to music as I wait for him.

"Here. This seems perfect for you."

"Tell me what I need to know."

"You are moving to the Philippines. You have to kill 50 members of the organization's enemy. Including the boss. But first. You have to find them. You'll have to be enrolled in an elite university. You can choose which one you like. Don't need a new name. Use your real one. You'll have P300,000 in your bank account once you get there."

"Weapons?" Grinning widely.

"Sure. You can bring it all."

"Vehicles?"

"You can show 'em off."

"Style?"

"Don't change it."

"Hair?"

"Natural."

"Eyes?"

"Original."

"Boys?"

"Do whatever you want."

"Deal. When's my flight?"

"Tomorrow. 10:00am sharp. Don't be late. Private plane. Here's your ticket." Handing it to me.

"You've come prepared. You really want to send me away don't you?"

"I do my best. No I don't. Goodnight. Pack your bags. Don't leave anything behind, you'll be far."

"Am I not allowed to come back?" I acted crying.

"Don't put up your acts. I had enough drama for today."

"Awww. Did little miss girlfriend threw a tantrum again?" I said mocking him.

"Great. Continue your teasing."

I chuckled. "Ok. Goodnight, Z." I kissed his cheeks.

8:48am

I get out my comfy bed and head to my bathroom. Do my morning rituals and head down to eat.

"Hmmm. I smell my favorite."

"Only for you Denine." Sydney said.

Sydney has been my best friend since I came here. We both became Assassins. He is called Z when we're at the tower.

The Rust Grounds Tower is where all Assassin train to be the best. Where the best killers are born. Where people are tortured. Mafias want to hire us.It is hidden in a mountain. Has entrances only people with power knows. I am the best Assassin in the tower. Z wasn't the one who built this, but his name is passed to him by the former ruler of the tower. He made it better but he looks up to the former "Z", like a son to a father. Like me, his parents were killed by Mafias.

"You gonna marry me now?"

"Yup." He giggled.

"Cool. I have a new chef."

"It's husband." He said sarcastically.

"Whatever. Just put this ring on. We'll leave in 30 minutes."

"Yep. You can't miss your flight." He said while chucking, holding the plastic ring.

He put the food in a big bowl and placed it on the table. He scooped me rice and I began to eat my favorite Paksiw na Baboy. I was born in the Philippines but we migrated here when I was 12.

"We'll use our van to get to the airport. Since you wanted your cars sent there, they got there earlier. I already bought a house. It's quite big with the things you asked."

"Okay."

"I'll be home with you next month. I have things to do here."

"Okay."

We finished eating and we grabbed my things, put it in the van and we're off.

The ride was silent except for the music blaring from his car.

When we got to the Italian Airport, he acted like a lovesick puppy that doesn't want his love to leave.

"Baby, please don't leave me!" He sobbed.

"Dude get off." He was hugging my knees.

"Miss, he's too loud. Can you just give him a chance? Per favore? Other people are complaining." A guard requested. [Please?]

"Mi dispiace. See what you're doing Syd. Drop the act. It's not amusing." [I'm sorry.]

"Fine." He pouted.

I gave him a peck and he smiled.

"Now don't be such a baby." I chuckled while I passed through the gate.

"I'm not!" He shouted which echoed since people walked through the gates are checked one by one. This airport is strict.

"Miss, grazie for making your boyfriend shut up. Although he shouted just recently." A woman with a baby in her arms said.

"Prego. He was just acting. He always does that. And he's not my boyfriend."

"Molto bene." And she proceeded to sit in her place as we entered the plane. [Very well.]

I walked pass her as I went to find my seat and it was beside a window. I went there and noticed the guy that's seated beside me, sleeping. 'Must have had a tiring day.'

I look outside the window and watch the surroundings as a flight attendant gives food to everyone.

"Buon giorno passengers. Welcome to Flight 216, Italy to Brazil. Turn your phones off and put your seatbelts on. We'll be taking off now." I did what she said and grabbed the snacks the flight attendant offered me. [Good morning]

I watch as the plane left the ground and reached thousands of feet.
