Clockwork Assasins

Bodyguard or Model

Cassandra's POV

"Absolutely not!" I shouted at my father while I stood and glare at him. He glared back and stand up as well. At his age of forty he's still handsome. Six footer,blonde hair,blue eyes and a masculine face. He will look like the actor in Thor if he let his hair longer.

"Calm down you two." My mother said as he stood between me and my father. My mother can pass up as my sister. We have the same height and heart shaped face but my hair and eyes are from dad.

"No. Just because he go--" a knock on the door cut me off. The door open and Jarvis walk in.

"Sir,the bodyguard you hired is here."

"Good. Call him in." My father said and Jarvis bowed. A minute later a model walk in. I'm speechless as to what I see. A girl with long raven black hair flowing behind her like a cape,tall frame that is covered in black,I mean all black,black v-neck,black leather jacket,black pants that hugs her thigh and a black boots. She looks like she just got out of a magazine. All of us in the room is staring at the gorgeous girl in front of us. She raise an eyebrow at us and clear her throat which effectively got us out of our staring session.

"Who are you?" My father asked her.

"Xena Cross."

"How old are you?" My mother asked.

"Why?" She asked back.

"Are you the bodyguard?" I asked.

"Yes." She said.

"Aren't you a little young to be a bodyguard? You look like a model not a bodyguard." My father asked with a frown. Xena take off her shades and I look back at her silver gray eyes. Like the the color of the sky before a storm hits.

"What? Are you expecting a big guy to guard your daughter." She look at my father in the eyes and I saw him swallow. My father is one of the most fearless people I've ever seen but here under the gaze of this girl is getting nervous.

"Not to offend you...sir,but those big guys hiding there in the corner," she pointed at the corner of the room that is covered in big curtain,"and that one behind the armors are just amateurs."

"What?" My father asked.

Then just as she said the one in the corner and behind the armors got out and pointed a gun at us.

"I suggest you get down ma'am and sir,especially you princess." She whispered at us.

"How do you know were there bitch?!" The guy who come out of the behind the armor asked Xena,who I might say is standing looking at them with a bored expression.

"What are you doing you're going to get yourself killed!!" I hissed at Xena who look back at me with amusement in her eyes.

"Just stay down you three and don't try to help me." She look back at the two and give them a smile.

"Why don't you call in those other three outside so we can play." She said.

"What the--? Who are you bitch?" The armor guy said. The window shattered and three others burst in. They stood there and pointed a gun at Xena.

"Since when did the Blackwell send amateurs to do the work?" Xena said.

"You know little girl,we just want the other girl. If you don't want to die just turn around and forget what you see here." The curtain guy said. I saw Xena's eyes narrowed.

"Did you just call me 'little girl'?" Xena asked.

"Yeah so wha--" The armor guy nudge him in his side and whisper something in his ear that cause his eyes to widen. He look at Xena with look like fear in his eyes.

"Now did you just recognize me?" Xena said with a dangerous gleam in her eyes.

"Kill her!!" The man said and began to fire at her. Mom and dad covered me with their bodies while I watch as Xena begin to fire at them. I close my eyes and pray that it would stop soon. Each fire of Xena's gun a grunt then a thud followed. The sound of grunts and whimpers followed the silence. My mother and I got up. My father's guards came rushing in the room and stopped dead when they look at the scene and pointed their gun at Xena. I'm watching Xena and at the writhing figures on the floor.

"Put your hands above your head!!" The head guard said. Xena rolled her eyes and look at my father.

"So...am I hired?" She said with a smirk.
