"To think that your ability is the opposite of mine, but your ability don't want you to die yet.", he then lift Lyra to get her to a stable room but another assasin enter his office. This time he was his target.

  "So your helping her?", the assassin asked the doctor by helping the first one to assassinate him. "Yes, because I'm capable of helping her?", he answered while the new assassin infront of him, even though his face is covered by a mask like a ninja the doctor can see that he is smiling beneath that mask like he was amazed by what he have said.

  "But you just killed this one.", then he smiled again while pointing the other one lying on the ground lifeless, " Your making your irony doc, or maybe you just want to save that bitch because she is a girl?", he continue to grinned. But the doctor also smiled at him.

  "Maybe your right. She's beautiful can you blame me?", the doctor said then he take a glance on whatever object near him to be used as a distraction for them to escaped. As he land his eyes on the table near the door he see a scalpel, then little by little he step backwards. Now his problem is how will he manage to grab the scalpel when he is holding the unknown maiden.

  "Your right, she is beautiful. Such a waste she will be dead any minute now. She failed her mission to kill you so we, who got ordered to monitor her whenever she failed this will kill her instantly.", he stated. The doctor was stunned by what the assassin told him. Their killing their own comrade.

  "Who sent you?", the doctor asked.

  "It is not important who sent me. Beside you will die now!!", the assassin launch his self at the doctor. Slashing him in every direction. The doctor manage to dodge his opponent even he is holding Lyra. But when the weapon slashed Lyra's arm the doctor became angry and grab the scalpel holding Lyra by one arm and throw the scalpel to the assassin and it land on the throat.

  "Y-You j-jerk", the assassin gargle his own blood as he try to speak on the doctor. The assassin  was stunned by the sudden unexpected attack on him then the doctor with the girl in his arm come near him.

  "You under estemate your opponent. Want to know a secret?, the doctor asked him but the assassin stay at his knees while holding to the part of his throat that is bleeding. "I targeted a major organ in that part, plus you can't defeat me because I am like you..", then the doctor touch the tip of the scalpel in the throat of the assassin and push it more to him then the assassin died.

  A week later..

  Lyra felt sore all part of his body  for some reason. As she open her eyes she was greeted by the brightness of the moonlight. She roam her sight to her surrounding. As she try to sit she felt the unbearable pain to her chest, then she remembered what happened. That doctor who is her target what happened when an assasin stab her? Then she remember again that he skillfully killed it. Who is this doctor by the way.

  She try again to sit and manage to stand. She then carefully even wobbly to walk to this foreign cabin."Where am I?", she asked in his mind. The cabin is not that big. But it is complete on the necessity you will needed. She noticed that no one is there with her. Then someone opened the door. Panic attacked her senses causing her to stumble to some kitchenware on the floor making her to fall down.

  The one who entered the cabin rushed up to help her and she realized that it was the doctor.

  "Why did you get up? You must rest", then out of her expectation he lifted her like a princess. And heat form her face and her heart beats fast like she run a long miles. The doctor lay her on her bed and the doctor get his things to checked on her. He checked her vitals. She stares at him absent mindly she touched his hair. It was soft and silky like a silk. Upon realizing that his silvered colored eyes is looking on her scarlet eyes. She blushed. The doctor then smiled at her.

  "First time to see a red head?", he asked. But Lyra remain silent as she darted her eyes away and stare outside the window. "Okay, you must be hungry. You know its been a week since you passed out.", he announce to her and prepare a meal, upon hearing him she realized that she is now an outcast.

  Outcast means your dead in the councils eyes. You failed your mission. Then she remember her parents. How can she know who the culprit is if she is now an outcast. She then glared at the doctor. And for some reason her eyes blurred and she is starting to sniff. The doctor noticed her small sniff then approached her. He never saw an assassin to cry on failing his mission but this lady infront of her.

  Averted her sight to the window again, he offer her the meal he prepared. "May I asked you a question, I know that I am not in the place to ask this but what is your reason for obeying an order?", he suddenly asked then Lyra stared back at him for an unexpected question.

  "Its none of your business.", Lyra answered him cold. "Why did they not know that he is my opposite", she  cursed under her breath. Then she angrily stand from her position and rushed outside. As she noticed that they are resting on a cliff side beside the ocean she try to run aimlessly to the path going to the forrest nearby them. Being in anguished led her to be lost in the forrest she just realized that when she heard a rustling behind a bush. She alerted herself ready for a sudden attack. Then a growl of a dog like figure appeared behind that bush. A wolf. It launched itself towards her but she dodge it and as she touched it belly it landed on the ground lifeless. She used its life to heal her wounds that restraining her movement. Then she sighed.

  "Ryland must be worried.", she whispered upon remembering her adoptive father.  Then another rustling sound alerted her..

  "Who is Ryland?", a familiar voice coming from behind the bush and a tree. "Is that the name of your boyfriend?", he asked again. Its the doctor. Who saw the lifeless wolf beside the girl and now undoing the bandages in her arm. He is amazed on how she is using the life of the others to heal herself. That must be what happened when he take out the weapon on her chest. She absorb the life of the dead assassins so that she can heal herself.

  "His not! His my father.", he unexpectedly heard her answer. Angrily, Lyra then lauched an attact to the doctor. She wants to killed the doctor again for being such an arrogant. She don't like him being the reason for her failure and also a feeling close.

  "You know that you can't kill me", he said while protecting himself from the attack of Lyra. "I don't mind I just want to kill you again and again until you are begging to die already.", she smiled at him menacingly. He then realized that this girl is starting to change. He start to see that her eyes is starting to glow in bloody red. She went crazy all of the sudden. After she realized that she can't land a critical blow on his body she stopped on her tracks.

  Panting the doctor also noticed that she have a very high endurance no trace upon her features that she went rampage. The doctor watch Lyra to whisper something under her breath. Still wondering on what she have said in an unknown language, a red line suddenly glowing on her side and start to open a door like passage. Then he heard a loud growl coming from the inside of it.

  Adrenaline starts to kick in. He then realized on what she have done. She summon the hell creature called Cerberus...
