Academy's Assassin

{5}

"No!" Sean shot forward, his hand reaching for the glowing needle as I continually pierced my skin. I stepped away from him, snarling and lifting up a corner of my lip.

"If you'd like me to not fuck up, can you not do that!?" His eyes were wide as he watched me, the room dead silent as I finished before throwing the needle into the sink.

"What the fuck are you?" Gabriel shouted, his eyes flickering between my katana and I.

I shrugged, reaching down to my boots to begin reassembling myself. "Ask Phil."

I looked up as I spoke, catching Owen and Sean's wide eyes. "How do you know Phil?"

I smiled, taking apart my guns as I sat at the table. "Same way you all do I suppose. He is, my adopted father after all."

I giggled as Sean began sputtering, my eyes looking back to Nathan. "Sorry I scared you earlier, I was in pain and really wanted to get the blood off of me."

The chair in front of my skid against the floor as Owen sat down, his gaze ice cold as he stared at me. "Tell me, and tell me right now exactly what you're doing here!"

I rolled my eyes, reaching into my bra and taking the flash drive out before throwing it to Victor. His face flushed as he clumsily caught it, most of the others gaze plastered to my black bra. "I'm Academy you asshats. That's information I got from Hendricks hidden computer, you don't have to worry about him anymore."

"What do you mean, we don't have to worry about him anymore?" Kota asked, his eyebrows furrowed.

I looked back to Owens cold gaze, sliding a single finger across the blood splatter on my collarbone. "The blood isn't mine."

"You killed someone!?" Luke shouted, his eyes wide as he stared at me. I shrugged, leaning forward to place my closed fist onto my cheek.

They all looked at me with various looks, some horrified and some disgusted. Owen simply kept his gaze cold as he stared at me, his steel eyes mixing with ice. I turned slightly when a gasp came from behind me, my eyes looking over my shoulder to meet Silas and Norths eyes.

"You're an assassin?" Silas asked, his eyes trained on the single word inked into my skin.

I smiled slightly as I nodded, my eyes flickering back to Owen. "I have a higher rank than almost everyone within the Academy. They call me to take out the really bad guys, because I was in a really bad situation. I'm here to take out three men, and so far I have two men left."

"I don't like this, and I don't want you near my team." He said, his voice cold as he leaned forward slightly.

I smiled as I leant forward myself, a light breeze drifting from an open window. "You're getting my help, whether you want it or not. Whether I associate myself with your team or not, isn't exactly up to you, now is it?"

His jaw locked as he stood, my body slowly following the same. I reached down and picked up my weapons, leaving my bloody hoody on the ground as I spun and went to the stairs. "Lock up when you leave please!"

I felt their stares as I sat in the courtyard, burning into my skin much like the silver scars I was laced with. I smiled to myself as I read A Tale of Two Cities, a required reading we got from English class. I looked up and smiled, waving as giggling to myself as a few of them blushed slightly.

I stood and made my way over, leaning over Silas's large muscled back. "Are you guys all going to ignore me like Owen wants you too?"

I whispered into his ear, feeling his body shiver under my own. I smiled to myself as I straightened up, looking straight to Kota's emerald eyes. "I only hurt those that are bad; killers, murderers, rapists. Never innocents, I hope you all know that."
