Assassin (discontinued)

Chapter 1 new assignment

I wake up to the normal sirens for training of the day to start. I slowly got out of bed and changed to my normal black tank and leggings. I walked down the stairs and jumped the last stair case and walked into the weapon room and grabbed my throwing knifes, twin pistols, bow and arrows.
"Good morning Nate."
I turned to the blond boy that brought me to this place two years ago. I made top of my class and became the official assassin my first year. First to do that.
"Hey Halo."
He smiled at me and casually leaned against the wall.
"Oh come on, aren't you happy to see, your partner in crime."
"Sure why not."
He let out a low chuckle.
"Boss wants you in 5, I will meet you up there. We will have another assignment."
"Why else would he call us there? It is not like he is going to let us go for a many petty."
I held out my fingers and twisted my fingers. I fluttered my eye lashes and we both laughed.
"See you soon Halo."
"See ya"
He gave a wave and left. I went to the training room and started going through my routine. About a couple minutes later I was doing flips off the walls throwing knives at the targets, hitting the target in the center of the head, right between the eyes each time.
After a little I walked up to the office to meet the boss, I was sweaty and dirty, but I mean the man never treated me with respect so why should I?
"Glad you could join us Nate."
"Hey Scar"
"God will you dress like a lady for once."
"Sorry but I am no lady I am a killer that you made me to be."
I smirked and crossed my arms. Then I felt hand out on my shoulder and I immediately flipped them over my head and put them on their back in a matter of seconds and got a knife out ready to kill.
"Wow, hold on deary!"
I let out a sigh of frustration.
"You never learn ,Halo, never."
He held his hands up in surrender and I put my knife back in my pocket and Helped him up to his feet.
"Now that I got both of your attention, you guys are traveling to the US."
We both snapped our heads to his direction. "What!"
"You two are going to the United States for an undercover assignment. You will both be going as a couple high school students."
We slowly sat down.
"Will we have undercover names?"
I knew Halo was going to be all business, so I crossed my arms and leaned back in my chair.
"No, it is better to keep the same names, makes it easy to be convincing."
I leaned forward and asked the one question we were all thinking.
"Is there any regulations?"
"You two must act like a couple."
"What!"
My eyes went wide and I started shaking my head no.
"Oh come on Deary, I know you secretly love me."
He batted his eye lashes and I punched him in the arm.
"Ow, what I do?"
"You are acting like an idiot."
"Stop!"
We turned to the boss.
"You two can't act like that. If so people will know you are not a couple."
"So what are we supposed to do, start dating?"
"No, but I will have you two sleeping in the same room, you will be stuck in the same living corners in the US."
I glared at the boss and crossed my arms.
"What about our age difference, he is 18 I am 16, don't you think that is a jump in age?"
"In the US there are kids that are 14 dating 18 year olds. I think you will be fine. Unless you want to argue against me Nate?"
"No."
I put my head down in defeat. I knew better then to argue, because if you do you could be put up for executions or experimentations.
After the meeting Halo and I walked back to our new shared room. We open the door to find two cots and bathroom, with a small fridge and microwave with our belonging neatly in two open wardrobes.
"God this is going to be weird."
"It can't be that bad. Just look on the bright side of things."
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Come on we need sleep, we have a long ride to the US tomorrow.
About an hour in, we haven't even closed our eyes.
"Halo?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you awake?"
"No."
I laughed.
"Then how are you talking?"
"I am dreaming."
He turned to face me and looked at me with his icy blue eyes.
"Are you scared for tomorrow?"
"No, are you?"
"No I am more worried on finding this kid that is a spy more then anything."
"You will be fine, you can take care of your self and I know that and so does the boss."
I rolled my eyes. Halo got up and sat on my cot. He stroked my strawberry blond hair and looked in my hazel eyes.
"You have nothing to worry about, I will be there and we will have back up if we need it."
"Oh great I get you."
I said it with sarcasm and he laughed and I soon joined.
"You know when I first met you, I knew you were strong, but to be honest I thought you were a joke,"
"Awe thanks, I feel loved."
I rolled my eyes.
"Then I got to know you and I knew you could beat the crap out of anyone that tried to mess with you."
He looked down like he was ashamed or sad. I gently lifted his head so he was looking at me and I slowly sat up.
"You don't need to be upset..."
"No I do, I am the one that killed your family two years ago, I am the one you brought you here..."
"You were following orders it is not your fault. I would do the same thing. I know the cons for not."
"But..."
"No. It is not you fault."
He looked away again.
"Halo, look at me."
He slowly did, silently searching my eyes.
"I will never, and I mean never blame you."
A tear slid down his cheek and I wiped it away. I silently got up and pulled his cot close to mine so they were touching.
"If we are going to have to act like a couple might as well do so."
He let out a chuckle and slid under the cover and I laid back down. The next thing I knew he pulled me closer and I had my head on his chest. He silently put his lips close to my ear.
"You said we should act like a couple."
I laughed and we went back to normal laughing. We laid down separated, quietly staring at the ceiling.
"Halo?"
"Yeah?"
"Promises me one thing."
"What?"
"Don't ever think I blame you and never leave."
"I cross my heart."
Even though I will never admit it I have always liked Halo, I just never had the guts to say it, but when I heard those words come out of his mouth I smiled, we fell asleep.
