I wake up, my head pounding. I groan, last thing I can remember is running away from the fire that Toby had started. My eyes widened. "Toby?" I ask, looking around the dark room. "Oh, you're awake, took ya long enough." I female voice says to my right. "AH, GET AWAY FROM ME!" I yell, grabbing for my knife. "I took it, I don't need a crazed murderer in my dorm." I growled low in the throat "Where is he, why am I here?" I ask back up against a wall. The girl sighs. "I don't know who this he is, but you're here because I found you passed out in the forest, and had a few minor cuts and burns. So you're in my dorm. My name's Phoebe by the way." I nod, still not trusting this girl. "I'm Cherry, i'm a thief who, under command, will assassinate people."
She gasped in shock. "Do you know where Jack is then?" she asked, grabbing my sides. "You mean that Jack Nichols dude? Naw, that happened like what, a day ago, it's been all over the news though." She squeezed me tighter. "If you're an assassin, how would you know about him?" "This thing called News. My lord are you deaf. And being as i'm a thief/assassin, I need to know this stuff. Ya know like who's at large, so I can avoid them at all costs." The girl glared at me. And walked away. "I'm bolting in the morning with my stuff." "But your clothes are burnt and torn." I looked down to see she was right. "I'll steal your roommate's clothes. Even if they're outta my style." The girl looked at me and rolled her eyes. "I'm also stealing a few kitchen knives."
