Academy Assassins

Assingment

The remaining initiates convene in the main hub and Noah gives us our final task.

"Over the next month you will have time to complete your final task. Your final task is the only true way we can know if you can be an assassin and work for us at the academy. You will called in one by one and given your individual assignments. Cassia?" Noah calls me into the training area and hands me a file from the top of a stack.

"This is your assignment." I open the folder to a picture of a young man with bright green narrowed eyes and a mop of curly black hair.

"Marcus Evesham" I read from the bottom of the photo.

"He can no longer stay on this earth." Noah raises his eyebrows as he talks.

I've heard my parents talk like this. It's how they get to grips with things saying the words 'He has to die" is just to real. So we don't.

"It's your job to find him and to finish the job within the month. Plan it to every detail with a specific time and date suitable to their lives. The iPad in your folder is kitted out with all the most useful apps to help you to organise your research and to plan your attack. You will be asked to send a progress report to me every 3 days. Good luck."

I exit the room and Noah calls for the next person.

Tobias raises his eyes questioningly.

"Marcus Evesham" I mutter to him.

"Let me guess," He whispers back "Not long for this world"

I nod.

"Makes sense" He pulls me  closer into him and kisses me lightly. I lean my head into his chest and he runs his hand carefully over my hair.

"I love you whatever happens," Tobias holds me close "You know that don't you?"

"Of course I do" I look up at him. His eyes are so beautiful that when I look into them I just loose myself in them. I look at him and I see a future with him. I could see us being happy together for years.

I see myself coming home to him after a rough day assassinating someone and he would be there and I could just fall into his arms and he would kiss me and tell me it was okay and tell me he loves me. I realise now that’s all I want. All I want from my life is for him to love me.
