The White Rose Association

The Mission [III]

(Beck on top)

The next day in the morning we were all called to the meeting room where the Association usually had its regular meetings. I was more than sure that I wanted to do this.

"Alice Wythman." Eleanor said in a serious tone as she approached to me, lovely I was probably going to get scolded by her.

"What's wrong?" I asked her scared, had she found out as well?

"What exactly did you do last night?" She asked me in an accusing tone.

"What? I did nothing, why do you ask?" I said nervously, had she found out that I had overheard the Association last night? And if she did, who told her and who knew about this?

"Because you seem nervous as if you were afraid to be caught in something. What did Spanish lover and you do last night after the party?" Eleanor asked, her gaze constantly piercing my body.

"Nothing really, we just talked, he invited me to out with him, took me to my bedroom and said good night." I said in a monotone with a simple shrug.

"Oh, I thought you guys did something else and you know very well the rules of...Wait, he invited you out as in a date, a romantic date with Antonio, Alice?" Eleanor said shocked and I knew she was torn, she was mentally debating something.

I nodded.

"Yes, a date." I said with a smile.

"But he is a hunter and you are-." Eleanor started to say before I cut her off.

"Am also a hunter, well a huntress in my case." I said interrupting her, why was she taking this the wrong way?

"But he has been hunter more than you are, he is not proper for your age." Eleanor said as she gave a small sight.

"Antonio has been a hunter over a year; he graduated from the Academy of Spain last year, so how is he not proper for me?" I asked her and she looked taken back, I've been there as well.

"He's not I just thought that he was-." Eleanor started to say before I cut her off once again.

"Older? Yes, so did I, I thought he was older. Until he explained me he is just ridiculously tall Eleanor, that's it." I said explaining her and she smiled at me sweetly, what did she have in mind now?

Eleanor was about to say something when the Headmistress got to the front of the room to speak as we grew quiet and sat down.

"Congratulations to all the hunters of this generation and as you know there is always a mission that only hunters that are your age can do. The White Rose Association has a big concern, as you know around seventeen years ago, when most of you were newborns the King of the vampires was killed after many years of chasing him, but now his son is getting ready to step in the throne and he is preparing an army to attack the entire community of hunters. The Association knows very well the danger any hunter runs by accepting this mission that is why we want that one of you willingly volunteers to go in the mission undercover to United States in the state of Washington which is our reason of being here, are they any volunteers?" The Headmistress asked as she looked around the room.

There was a moment of silence, as new hunters we had to choose our missions carefully for it would base our future, if it was too simple we would be labeled as scared hunters, if it was too dangerous we would be labeled as risk takers, but one wrong move and we could be banned from being hunters or worst we could end up dead, so everyone hesitated, this mission was the biggest one yet, for it was the prince itself, it was a suicide mission and everyone knew that, everyone was quiet before I stood up and walked to the front where the members of the Association where.
