AL ~Assassin League~

Chapter 6

Argent sat patiently, or at least trying for Carver to return with news or his new friend. He didn't know Arabella but she seemed pretty cool and possibly liking Cerberus. Mentioning Cerberus, he was worried. It was all very possible that he could lose two of his new friends. This could be very possibly be a dangerous job as it already seemed and probably was, he liked the excitement but not the killing. That was too much but he already knew that he didn't want to be the leader, oddly he liked being ordered around. He knew that Arabella would make an amazing leader but that's if she comes back. Sadness flooded over him as he thought of it again.

While he continued pondering the various outcomes of her, it took a moment to realize that Carver was back. He jumped off of the ground that stood in front of a huge tree that looked to be 100 years old. Argent grabbed his bow that was sitting on the ground and ran towards Carver and his men who were swinging off their horses.

As he reached them, aswell did Artemis and Alistair.

"So?" Artemis said who was looking at around looking for her friend.

"No sign at all, we went as far as where there was a blood bath and slaughtered men. The only trail is from Cerberus bleeding but thats it." Carver said looking down feeling disappointed even though he didn't know her.

"Good lord." Alistair said turning around and rubbing his clean shaven face.

"Damn it, Cerberus is not going to be happy." Argent said dropping his head.

"No... it can't be!" Artemis said choking a little bit.

"Well someone has to tell Cerberus." Carver said rubbing his neck.

"I will." Argent said taking the job that no one would take, even he regretted saying he would. He started towards the healing lady's tent, trying to figure out what to say. How would he say that the girl that saved him is gone!?

Argent stopped outside of the tent that his friend was in alone, taking a deep breath he stepped inside. As he looked up at Cerberus who was just lying there awake.

"Finally! The women said I can't get up for another hour!" Cerberus said looking at Argent.

"Cerberus, I have some.......news." Argent said walking towards the bed.

"Me too." Cerberus said putting his one arm behind his head.

"You first." Argent said trying to hold off the news that would hurt him.

"Okay. Well I saved Arabella from getting shot, and well I fell on top of her, and well____ we almost kissed!" Cerberus said with the most happiest look on his face.

Argent's face dropped.

"There was like a connection, and I think I love her! I think she feels the same way!" Cerberus continued remembering that moment of pure romance.

Now Argent was regretting saying yes to do this. How was he suppose to tell Cerberus that his "love" was gone, possibly dead by now?!

"Cerberus, Arabella is...... missing." Argent finished and looking at Cerberus's face as it instantly dropped.

"WHAT!?!" Cerberus yelled while getting up, letting Argent get a better look at his wrapped shoulder, as Cerberus stood in front of him shirtless but covered in bandages.

"I'm sorry man." Argent said looking at him, they were around the same height.

"Sorry! Did you even look for her?" Cerberus said pointing outside of the tent.

"Carver did, and no sign." he replied back.

"Well now it is my turn." Cerberus said walking out of the tent looking around for his armor and sword that was leaning up against the tent.
