Assassin Selena

Chapter 11

After dinner, Prince Maxon had told me that he had a guard set my new uniform that I would need on my bed. I was really curious on what it looked like, so I was fast walking to bed when I heard someone call my name.

"Selena!" Jake called from down the hall.

"Yes." I responded trying not to sound impatient.

"Wait up, it's not like sleeping is any different."

"Haha, funny. I just really want to see what I'm wearing looks like."

"I understand. So, what was the mission that he gave you?"

"Wait, you don't know the mission?"

"Nope. He said it was too classified, but I know my best bud will tell me."

"Let's get back to the room first. There are too many people to talk about it so freely."

"Ok, but I've already checked most of the halls. No one roams these halls for another hour and there are no cameras. Checked yesterday."

"I should have known you would scope out the place before I came. That's why you left early."

"Correct. Now let's head back to your room so we can discuss this further."

We walked in silence to our bedroom doors, but instead of him going to his room, him came into my room.

"So, what is this plan that he is not telling me?"

"Can I just shorten it up? Like the main gist."

"Yeah, if I can ask questions."

"Ok, well the main mission is to act like his head of guard throughout the wedding time. Then to kill Princess Isabelle after the wedding." I said nonchalantly.

Jake looked at me like he had just seen a ghost.

"What's wrong? It's just another mission."

"We can't stay. We've got to go." he said hurriedly.

"Jake, what's wrong with it?"

"We've got to go, now. Before they have the chance to realize we're gone."

He was rambling. Something he never does, so I knew we had gotten ourselves into something we shouldn't of.

"Jake, we can't just leave. Especially not yet, where would we go?" I asked knowing there was no place for us to go.

He looked at me, realization finally coming over him. He sat down on the end of my bed and held his head in his hands.

"Jake, you still haven't told me. What's wrong with this assignment?"

He finally looked up and patted the spot next to him. I say down looking at him waiting for him to talk.

"I can not tell you everything that has happened tonight because I don't know how you are going to react. Can you promise to hear me out on all of it first?" he asked looking at me with pleading eyes.

I nodded my head not knowing what else to do, then he started.

"When you were little, you we're need orphaned. Instead, you kidnapped at the age of two. I did not understand what was going on at the time because I was only three. You may not realize it Selena, but I was never the one to train you. It was my dad. He trained us together and taught me his ways before he passed away. He passed away when I was ten, you were seven."

I looked at him trying to remember this, but I could only see bits and pieces of the memories.

"That's why I am always a little up tight, and am very careful about which missions I put you in. This is what happens when I'm not extra careful. Ugh." he finished looking frustrated.

"But, what's wrong with this mission?" I asked not putting two and two together.

"If you would have never of been kidnapped, you would have been a high court lady and most likely close with the princess." he said still hiding something.

"What are you hiding? I can tell you're not telling me everything."

"I needed to see how well you held up before I decided whether or not to tell you the rest."

"Well, I know it's not your fault that I was kidnapped at a young age. I am a little mad that you never told me, but we're in a very serious situation right now. If we don't do what the Prince asks of us, we could get turned in by the royal guards."

"That's what I wanted to hear. Now, I will tell you the rest after we make a plan. I want all your thought on this, not the past."

"Ok, as long as you tell me."

"I will. Now, here's the plan." he said leaning in close towards me.
