The Song of Roses (OHSHC)(Complete)

Chapter 16

Himiko knew what she had to do next, she grabbed the dagger, looking at it.

"The weapon you use will be the one that delivers the message"

A small smile found it's way on Himiko's lips as she went to her closet and grabbed some black clothing, it was already starting to get dark outside, so she would have to wear something to blend in with the night.

She wore a black long sleeved shirt, and black skinny jeans that were easy to move around in. After that, she slipped on a black hooded jacket and zipped it up. She placed her hands into her pockets, hiding the dagger. She tied her hair up so it was out of her face. She grabbed the black rose necklace, and tied it securely with the hair tie. The charm hanging down slightly.

After she got ready, she walked out of her apartment and locked the door behind her. Making sure she had everything before leaving.

She made her way to the warehouse where the memory took place, it wasn't that far away from her apartment, a couple miles at most, nothing Himiko couldn't handle.

When she got to the warehouse, she flipped up her hood so it covered most of her face in shadows. She walked up to the entrance and one of the guards noticed her.

"Hey! You can't be here!" He exclaimed.

Himiko looked at him, and she swiftly took the dagger out from her pocket and lunged, she knew this was part of the test. This was an abandoned warehouse, it didn't need a guard. This was just another assassin from the organization. And the way he dodged her attack made her sure of it. Though he was big and bulky, made of mostly muscle, he moved swiftly, almost graceful in a way.

Himiko landed a small ways behind him, looking back she smiled, opening her mouth slightly and a wordless song escaping her lips.

"Siren." The man whispered, he tensed, his eyes narrowing as he got into an attacking position. "You won't get past my defenses." He said, smiling.

Himiko didn't move, instead, she made her voice louder, and she watched as his muscles relaxed slightly, and that was her chance, she lunged, the dagger in front of her as she felt it break through skin. She could feel it hit something, he had the titanium ribs. She knew that would happen. But it was a swift and clean kill and if his ribs were like a normal persons, he would of died, and that's what mostly mattered. Though now He would be down for the count for a while, and people would come to patch him up so she knew he wouldn't die. She let her voice die down slowly, knowing she didn't need to sing anymore.

She pulled away, watching as he stood still for a second, then as he coughed, blood splattering out of his mouth and he fell to the ground, a key clattering out of his pocket.

Himiko walked up and grabbed the key. "Thanks." She said sweetly. She placed the key in her pocket, and walked over to the warehouse, and unlocked the main door, walking into the warehouse, silently sneaking along the dark hallway.

Further in the hallway, Himiko spotted two sets of guards, a pair standing in front of one door on one side, and the other pair guarding the other side.

Himiko knew if she tried to enter that way, she would have to fight all four of them, and she didn't want to do that. The main point of being an assassin is to be able to kill in secret, in silence, with the cover of darkness as their only shield.
