If she knew...

Chapter 2

Felicity’s POV

I was sitting at my desk in the IT Department of Queen Consolidated looking through the most recent robberies to determine the priority call. As soon as I decide what the Arrow will do tomorrow night I get ready to leave. As I turn around I am faced with a sword pointed at my neck. In that moment time stops, all I can hear is my heartbeat.

“Are you Felicity Smoak?” the swordsman asks.

I nod slowly careful not to touch the blade.

“You’ve lived your last day!” the voice of the swordsman boomed through my office. My eyes widen and I remember one thing Digg thought me to do, to disarm someone. I grab the blade handle and elbow the person in the stomach they drop the sword and I run out the door as they stumble to their feet. I call Oliver but he doesn’t answer.

“Damn it!” I curse under my breath and then try Digg. He answers after the first ring.

“Felicity is everything okay.”  He asks as he answers.

“Digg get to Queen consolidated. I’m being attacked by a swordsman.” I say trying to contain my fear.

“I’m 10 minutes away I’ll be right there.” He says hanging up the phone.

I had to avoid getting hurt for 10 minutes, great I thought.

The swordsman was now in front of me. They slowly approached as I backed up against a wall.

“Felicity Smoak! Love interest of Oliver Queen. IT department Genius. Can hack and decode just about anything.”

“How do you know so much about me?” I ask as the assassin approaches closer and closer.

“You see you’ve seen me before and you know who I am.”

I was mortified, I couldn’t move. Before I realized what was going on the sword was going for my throat. I ducked and got a kick to the face. I slide on the marble floor for a couple of feet. Until I finally stop and hide behind a large pillar.

“Why are you doing this?” I ask feeling the pain of the kick sink in. I feel the bruise forming.

“Why? Is because you are a threat to the League of Assassins and because Oliver is too good for you.” She answers.

“Is that what this is about? Oliver?” I ask.

“He deserves better, way better.” She says jumping on a table and looking around for me. I was out in the open. She soon spotted me struggling to get up, she quickly appeared in front of me. “I’m going to enjoy killing you.” She says as she slowly pushes her sword through me. I gasp as the pain is unbearable I fall to my knees and she was about to finish me off when a gunshot shattered the vase behind the killer and she sliced my chest and jumps out the window without another thought. I can feel my life slowly draining away and I see my whole life flash before me. Last thing I see is Oliver Queen.
