The ExtraOrdinary Assassin

Chapter 13

 When Jack got back to the dorm he saw Ray and Alex whispering with each other by their desks. Anthony was already on his bed, but his curtain was closed so Jack didn't know what he was doing.

"Hey guys, how did you like the event?" Jack asked cheerfully. Ray and Alex looked up, slightly surprised.

"Um, it was good. It's just, well, isn't your family a little..." Alex began but got quieter as Ray gave him a stern look. Jack raised his eyebrows.

"My family? They are a little weird aren't they. I mean, who adopts nine children, right?" Ray smiled at that. But then he realized, "Nine? Aren't there ten siblings in your family?" Jack suddenly looked uncomfortable.

"Yeah, but two of them are her own." This made Ray even more curious. "Two? That would mean that you have eleven children in your family right?" Then Jack's eyes widened as he realized his mistake.

"Well I have a sister too, but... She's a little different. Her and Mark are the bo- I mean mother's, actual children." Jack almost slammed his head into the wall because of the amount of mistakes he was making. His sister, Catherine, was only let outside of the house on extremely dangerous missions because she was extremely skilled. But sadly the drawback was that due to her intense training she had gone insane and had extremely violent fits of rage when she was in an intense crowd.

Ray, to Jack's dismay, was extremely curious. But he gave Jack the benefit of the doubt and didn't ask anymore. Alex, however, couldn't hold in his curiosity.

"I have a question." Jack prompted Alex to go on, "Your sister, Priscilla and your brother, Tony. Why do they, well, you know?" Alex stuttered the last sentence. Ray turned towards them once more, wondering what the conversation was about. Jack smiled lightly.

"They both went through a somewhat traumatizing experience, so they found a way to deal with it." With that Jack decided to sleep. He had something to do that night, so the earlier he went to bed, the better.

Later that night, Jack quietly went down from the bed. Putting on his assassin outfit, black billowy pants that didn't make any noise when the legs rubbed against each other, and a skintight black shirt that showed off Jack's muscles and some of his bigger scars. Jack then proceeded to stock his belt with knives and added four guns on his upper thighs and chest.
After he was prepared, he put on his mask, a black mask that went up to the bridge of his nose, but left everything just below the eyes and above, exposed. The mask had engravings that showed the symbols of his guild. And on the cheek bone it had a Roman numeral of the number one.

Jack carefully opened the window and climbed down the pole that was on the side of the wall. His dorm room was on the third floor, so when Jack reached the second floor, he jumped down 20 feet and landed with a roll.

He walked briskly towards the school gate, staying to the edge of the school boundary as to not to be seen. As he neared the gate he heard muffled screaming and whispered voices. At first he was going to ignore it, but then he saw that there were four obviously trained assassins surrounding one of the students of this school.

He approached so that he could ask the assassins why they were here. The boss had said that she made sure that there would be no assassins from their guild anywhere near the school. And the four assassins he saw had the attire of his guild.

He walked towards the assassins and pulled out a knife that was about the length of his forearm. As the other assassins noticed him they stopped trying to tie up the student and stood up, pulling their knives out at once. Jack noticed how they pulled their knives out even though assassins from his guild were taught to look for the number on the mask before doing anything harsh, and if they had looked they would have seen that Jack had a number 1, meaning he was the best Assassin in the guild.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Said one of the four assassins, his voice was very deep and had a rough edge to it. Jack tilted his head. Disguising his voice to make him sound older he responded, "Why are you here? You should know that all assassins of our, or should I say my, guild have been warned not to step near here." At this all four of the assassins froze for a second before launching themselves at Jack.

The one who spoke first had a body the size of a small bear, but he was by no means small himself. His strength was great and he had probably killed many before, but that didn't mean he was better than Jack. Jack sprung up in the air, easily launching himself up 10 feet before coming down on that man's back. Jack's legs squeezed the man's neck until he fell unconscious. The other three looked scared, obviously that big man was the leader.

But when they turned around Jack had already dragged his knife through each of them. Breathing slightly heavier then when he started he remembered the student. Sure enough the student was still frozen on the ground not moving. All though, it would be difficult to move, seeing as he had ropes tying him up.

Jack decided that the easiest thing to do would be to take both the older assassin and the boy back home, and interrogate them both there. Jack moved towards the boy and held out his hand, cutting the ropes off the boy. The boy looked up in shock, and Jack immediately recognized him.

Alex. What was he doing out here this late at night? Well, it didn't matter now. Jack grabbed Alex's arm and proceeded to pick him up over his shoulder. Then Jack grabbed the assassin which he strangled. The assassin was still alive, thankfully.

Alex struggled a bit, but when he learned he couldn't move no matter what he did, he gave up.
