Chapter 21 - Midnight's Child

Y/n's POV

I was unmistakably happy and giddy for this afternoon. I wanted to see the looks on everyone's faces when they saw me. I received a gift from Grace, a midnight black assassin outfit, padded and made to fit my size. It hugged my waist comfortably, as well.

I sat on my bed, seeming to stare at a wall. I was thinking of the possible outcomes of me going to help them. I could mess up, but that's unlikely, I could potentially beat them to it, but I don't wanna be known for stealing missions, so I guess I can go once Delirious hints at me that they're leaving.

I hopped up as the door creaked open, Evan stepping inside. "Oh. I thought you'd be away... again." He noticed I was sitting on the bed, confused. "Where were you going?" He asked. I sighed. I had to think of an excuse, and quick. I guess this one will have to do.

"I wanted to visit a friend's grave, before they dug it up to create more space for others." I grimaced at the thought. That's not even how it's supposed to work!

"Oh... i-i'm sorry..." He muttered. Great, now he feels bad. "Oh hey, it's okay! You didn't know..." I trailed off, seeing Jonathon standing in the doorway, making heart shapes and kiss faces. "And heeeeere's Del." I sighed, seeing him walk in. "Hey, Vanoss, you know how we're going to that one place, to do that one thing this afternoon, with Tyler?" He smiled. I pretended to not understand what they were talking about. "Yeah, what about it?... OH SHOOT! I forgot to talk to him about it!" Evan spruced out the door, leaving me and Delirious in my room.

"We're gonna be at the 'GRAND OAK TREE' Or as I like to call it, 'The unnecessarily enormous and amazing tree of oak.' Some people are camping up inside, and we need to eliminate them all. Just letting you know. I'll thumbs up to you when you can come up." He grinned triumphantly. I smiled back. "Thanks." I nodded.

"Hey, Del, we gotta go do the thing now." Evan peered through the doorway. "Right, right. See ya, Y/n." Delirious waved, walking out the door and winking at me.

I slipped on the midnight coloured coat and boots, strapping the battle axe to my back and grabbing the satchel of seemingly infinite Shurikens and leapt out the window, landing safely, yet just behind a guard. I winced, knocking him out on reflex. I pulled out a white scarf and tied it around my face. You could only see my nose and mouth, so I could at least breathe.

I sped after the guys, seeing Tyler now following them. I stuck to the shade of the trees, listening in to their conversation.

"So, Vanoss..." Delirious was talking. "You think any female assassin's exist?" He asked, clearly seeming random. "Uh.... probably? Why're you asking me this?" He asked, confused. "Oh, no reason. I was just wondering, because I thought I saw a feminine looking assassin somewhere today." He replied, smirking.

I flinched as Vanoss almost tripped. Again, reflexes told me to do something, only this time I didn't follow their orders.

"Hey, I think Y/n might be into assassin's." Tyler joked. "That what you were gonna say next?" He grinned. "...No." Delirious muttered, kicking a pile of leaves he happened to pass by. "Is she though?" Evan asked, seeming curious.

"Yeah! She told me and, uh, I know who!" Delirious cheered, trying to annoy me. I blushed, glaring daggers. I'd throw my infinite supply of Shurikens at him if I could.

"... Who?" Evan asked, seeming disappointed. I wondered why, but stopped as the tree appeared in my vision, behind a barn. "Nevermind, man, he'll tell ya later, we've got some Thistle flower BUTT to kick!" Tyler cheered, climbing the tree with ease. The other guys followed, Delirious being last up. As soon as they got to the top, Delirious shot me a look, hinting for me to come up. I smirked, adrenaline flowing through me.

I leapt up the tree with ease, stalking them through the darkness. There was indeed some hideout here, with a few sleeping people in tents or in the floor. I took my black battle axe out and watched as Evan looked around for any fast movement. I stayed perfectly still, as he looked around. Soon, they were sneaking around. Delirious (purposely) tripped over, making a loud clattering noise as the Thistle clan, or something they called it, woke up.

Evan cursed as Tyler growled, them pulling out weapons. I sat back, watching them attempt to take on all the people in the treetops. A few scrapes and bruises in and already they were almost cornered. "Shit, why did we decide on this job?!" Tyler yelled, kicking a guy off him. "Their was good pay!" Delirious laughed insanely, struggling under someone. "Guys! I'm--- I'm trying not to die here!" Evan snarled, trying to fend off a few people at once. I grinned, leaping out of the darkness and darting Shurikens at the clan people, all my throws hitting them in the neck. They toppled over, leaving only half of what was there before.

"What the fuck?!" Tyler laughed, breathing heavily at my entrance. "Who the fuck!?" Evan gasped, staring me down. I stifled a blush as I slammed my battle axe into someone's chest. I then threw the almost dead guy into a crowd of them, swarming an oddly quiet delirious. However, he was smiling, so that was a good sign.

I sliced someone's arm off and slapped them with it, silently laughing as I stabbed another guy with Evans dagger. I hid it just in time for him to look at me, under some guys. He stayed quiet, jut staring. I frowned, kicking the guys off him and slicing their heads off in one fatal swoop. I gagged as the head seemed to stare at me, and threw a few Shurikens at the last few.

"Woah! They can aim! And fight!" Delirious pretended to not know who I am. I smiled slightly. "Who... are you?" Evan whispered from behind me. I spun around, grinning playfully. "I... Midnight's Child." I came up with a name on the spot, leaping out of the tree and flashing a quick smile to delirious as I ran into the forest.

BEST. DAY. EVER!

Jesus, Reader, all that blood might be hard to wash off. Did the adrenaline feel good?
How are you guys liking this so far? I'm having fun making this, I wrote two chapters in the same day! Maybe even three if I want! It's so much fun to write, so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

... I'm also sorry for the name I came up with. I am starving right now but I wanna finish writing it. All well! Time to eat my brother! Actually, I'll just devour the family pet.....
