Dark Raven: An Assassins Tale

Oceans

Cross the oceans in my mind

Find the strength to say goodbye

In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands

A cool wind blows through the town. Garbage littering the ground, dogs running about and small filthy children are frolicking around everywhere. Seems just like Florence... I mutter in my head. Megastar looks over at me and then over at the bakery.

"I think she's over there...." He says pointing at the small wooden building. We approach the door giving each other questionable glances. Ever since she's met that "Beautiful boy" in there, she won't stop visiting him.

"Ugh... She's losing her focus. I think she's even forgotten about her personality completly!" I growl. Megastar nods and sighs.

"Just open the door. Before I put my hand on the door I hear the sound of her quiet laughter. I slowly creak the door open and walk in. Dark Raven turns her head over in our direction and smiles.

"What are you two doing here so early in the morning?" She asks still smiling idiotically. I walk over and grab her arm and pull her into the corner of the room

"You need to stop this nonsense." I whisper in her ear. She looks at me with a shocked expression.

"What are you talking about?" She asks. I grab the collar of her cloak.

"You know what I'm talking about! I mean him. You're losing your potential!" She stutters when she finally finds her words.

"I'm sorry. He just means a lot to-." I cut her off

"I don't care! Now, I want you to do something for me." I murmur and pull her closer. Her eyes widen when she hears what I tell her.

"No... I..."

"I'm not pitying you this time. DO IT." I snap. She takes a deep breath. I pull out a knife and lay it carefully in her hands. She walks over and approaches him.

"Hey, Fabrizio. Can you grab me a cannoli from back there?"

"Of course, my lady." He says smiling. A tear rolls down her face as she looks over at me. "Do it, quickly!" I mouth to her and she lifts the knife

"Jay's Wing! Dark Raven don't do it!" Megastar screams.

"Huh?" Fabrizio says turning around.

"NOW!" I scream. Dark Raven beings down her arms as blood splatters the walls. Dark Raven's deep breathing quickly turns into sobs as she collapses into the pool of blood. Megastar grabs my collar ad pins me to the wall.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" He hisses.

"Fabrizio? What was that?" Says a man fro the back. He walks in on the three of us and looks down at Dark Raven fallen in the pool of blood.

"NO! MURDERS!" He screams loud enough for everyone outside to hear.

"RAV, JAY WE NEED TO GO NOW! RUN!" He yells as the three of us jump through the doorway, citizens staring in disbelief and anger as she runs and weave away from the crowd hanging on to dear life with out lives.
