After hearing some more rustling of the bushes Octavia stands up. She puts her hood and face mask on and unsheathes her sword.


"WHO THE HELL IS THERE?"

She shoots her arm crossbow into the bushes and she hears it hit something

*Thump*

She waited for a couple seconds until she saw a blood puddle come from the bushes.

She walks over only a couple feet when she hears groaning.

"Hello?"

Octavia doesn't get an answer so she decides to check what it was. When she crossed through she saw a body of a man, the arrow in his shoulder.

She stares at him for a couple seconds when he looks up

The man speaks

"Please help."

She rushes to his aid and drags him to the water.

"Are you okay??"

She says

He responds after a second of pain

"Yeah, it just hurts. A lot. What the fuck was that for?"

"I.... got scared and-----"

He cuts her off

"It's fine, I understand. I just wanted to come to relax. Didn't expect this."

He leans against a tree while holding his wound.

"So, uhh, what's your name Ms. Mystery?"

"Why the fuck does everyone call me that?"

She thinks to herself. She realizes she hasn't responded yet, so she does.

"Octavia. And, uh, you?"

"William.. It's William. Also, if you don't mind, can you hand me those bandages from my pack?"

"Yeah sure."

She tosses him the bandages and looks back out at the water

"Beautiful, ain't it?" He says while patching himself up.

"I guess. Just get some rest, Okay? It's just so weird. I just shot you and like an hour later you're okay and we're looking out at the water."

"I'm a stranger, I get it. Well, I'm gonna get some sleep. You should do the same."

"Why the hell would he care if I got rest?"

"Yeah, sure."

In the morning she woke up to nothing. William was gone. She found a note attached to a tree with a knife. It read:

"Hey, sorry I had to go. You seemed cool and we didn't really get to know each other. I guess since you shot me, you're obligated to meet me some time, to get a drink and hang out. Don't take this as a "date" just want to get to know you more. Meet me at the KO tavern some time. I'm there everyday at around 5:00 PM so just... come, please. Alright, bye.

-William"


"Creep." She thought to herself.

3 Hours Later:

She gets back to the Assassin camp and visits Zora for tasks. Nothing. She goes around looking for tasks from fellow members. Nothing. She goes to Mac Tire and asks for a task. Something. He tells her about a man causing trouble at the KO Tavern that needs to be taken out by the name of Kan Benovr. She looks at the sun and tries to remember the time of it. 4:30 PM.

"Fuck, I'm gonna run into him."

She goes to the Tavern, screaming at herself the whole way there
