In love with my assassin

Live

??? Pov.

I follow my target. He tries to escape. Such a fool. He went into an ally thinking he could lose me. Never mind.... He did. Shit! I heard pounding on a door in a nearby neighborhood. I soon ran on top of a sidewall before you enter the neighborhood. I then saw him enter the house. I decided to talk normally due to me running the whole night. I waited about eh... fifteen minutes before knocking on a door. Another girl answered the door. "H3LLO?" She said to me with her head tilted.

"Uhh.. yeah. Hello, I'm looking for a Karkat Vantas, is he here?"

"WHY Y3S, H3 1S... 1LL GO G3T H1M." She then walked up the stairs and dragged him down. Him yelling in the process.

"Tereziiiiiiii!" I heard a voice from I'm assuming upstairs. "Tell you little friends to go, it's getting soooooooo late!" Terezi, I'm assuming, then proceed to kick us out of her hive.. House? Fuck it. Trolls are confusing. I was then left with my target.

"Well, well, well." I started. "Looks like I got you now huh?" I then pulled out a dagger that was hidden in my back pocket. He tried to back away but then fell to the ground. I lifted my hand ready to stab him. He then closed his eyes. Then I dropped. I couldn't do it. He deserves a life, a family, to experience success and failure. He deserves to LIVE. I then proceeded to cry.

"H-huh?" I'm guessing he then looked up at me. I heard him get up. He's gonna run off. That's what I thought. But I felt a hand on my back. I looked up at him to see worried eyes. "Hey... Why didn't you kill me?" That's what he's wondering? Asshole. And why the fuck is he being so nice to me after I tracked him down to kill him?

"I... I just can't. I'm being forced to kill. I don't want to though!! It fucking sucks!! It's not fair to take people's lives due to what someone did before them." He looked at me dumbfounded.

"You're being FORCED to kill people just because of what someone did that they had no clue of doing or doesn't associated with it?" I looked up at him and nodded. "That's bull shit! Why the HELL would someone force some... Teen? To do their work for them."He seemed to be disgusted.

"I can answer those questions." I started. "Yes it's bullshit. Why would someone force to kill?? Because my "boss" aka my lazy ass brother is a sick person. And, yes, I'm a teen." He just stands there.. Scared? Confused? Worried? Surprised? Fuck it. He then offered his hand. I was confused then took it.

"Even though you tried to kill me. You didn't. I have no reason to run away. Well, I do, but I'm not." He helped me get up and I just hugged him. "H-huh?"

"Shut up and accept it. You are the first person to care... I'm new to this." He nodded and hugged me back. I smiled into the hug then soon let go. "Thank you." Is all I said to him. He suggested we should go out to the town and to help me get out of this mess. Me, being sick of my "job", accepted.

"So, besides being a forced assassin, what else do you do?" Should I tell him all I do is stay cooped up in my small ass room? I shrugged in response. He nodded and kept walking until we got to town. He grabbed my hand and we... I mean he started to run. I just stumbled along the way. "Come on! I have something to show you!!" In the matter on seconds we started to climb stairs. MAN I hate stairs!! We got to the roof and he brought me to the edge of it to sit down in. "Look up." Is all he said. So I did. It was so relaxing. Stars brightened up the night sky, the pitch black background had hits of a void purple, constellations for ever it seemed like. I saw mine then pointed to it.

"Sagittarius." Is all I said. "It's so pretty." He pointed to his. Cancer. "You know, cancers are pretty cool. The sign name for it is Karka. Cancers are known to be introspective, phlegmatic, cardinal, , tenacious, intuitive, emotional, indolent, domestic, , refined, and ic." I paused. I looked at him, he seemed amazed. "As for me, a Sagittarius, they are truth seekers, when the day is done they want to know the meaning of the world and why we are in it, I do the same, they are also known for seeking knowledge and the truth, and curious about nature." I stopped there. He seemed to be impressed with my knowledge.

"HOW THE HELL!!" He screamed at me, I just laughed. "DON'T FUCKING LAUGH! I'M CURIOUS!" That only caused me to laugh more.

"Oh god, haha. Oh, uhm.. I studied archaeology a lot when I had free time. Which was a lot. It's like carved into my brain. I know some about each zodiac." I hated to admit it because it made me seem like a nerd.

"Well, that's incredible!" He stated.

"I didn't intend to wow you." Is all I said.

"Righttt... You came to kill me!" He yelled.

"But I didn't" I retorted. "You're still alive, you're welcome." I continued.

"True..." From there it was just silence. I mean, why wouldn't it be? Talking to your assassin who can turn on you any moment. I then said goodbye as I gave him my number because I wanna have him know I am not the person I presented myself to be. I jumped down off the building landing on my feet before I ran into the alleyway from before. My brother is my boss but I live with my half sister? Cousin? Fuck it, I run to our house, grabbed my keys, and that whole process. When I enter the house I see Rose and Roxy at the dinner table. I walk in and lean on the wall.

"Welcome home David." Said Rose at she glanced over at me. "Did you get your target?" I shook my head. "What happened?" She asked. It was more of a statement due to her tone.

"I quit." I mumbled.

"You wha?" She asked again. She's not into killing. I wish I could live a normal life like her... Well... Without all of the occult.

"I'm going to quit! I don't wanna kill people anymore! They don't deserve it! These poor people have their lives stripped away from them for no reason! I'm tired of it! " I said. I threw my bag down than ran to my room.
