Guardian of Light(Fate/Zero Fanfic)

Ch. 4: Assassin

————3rd Person POV————

Jean Tohsaka backed up from the Assassin, being aware of where she was. "Assassin, what do you want?" She questioned while her eyes darted around the room looking for a door. The only Assassin that was left, was a male who had a black cloak. He didn't seem like he was going to answer the young Tohsaka's question.

A 'ring' went off in Jean's back pocket, making her slightly jump from the sound. She slowly pulled her phone out, being mindful of Assassin. The caller was her father, which had meant that Archer had told him about Assassin. Before she could answer it, a knife went through the phone and hung it on the wall. 'Well my parents aren't going to be happy about this,' she thought staring at her broken phone. She looked around for any type of weapon she could use, since she had no gems and she knew she couldn't win against him in hand-to-hand combat, she had to think of something. A chair was standing not too far from her, which she could use if she could somehow use the strengthening magic she had been working on.

Jean took one step towards the chair, the Assassin took a step towards her himself. Everything was still for a few seconds before she dashed towards the chair, slamming it onto the ground and taking one of the legs apart from the chair. She turned with it ready at the grey-skinned male, the wood being held like a sword in front of her. Assassin brought out his dagger, the blade shining slightly from the lights. The man charged, at a speed that the blue-eyed girl could hardly see. She was barely able to dodge the blow, jumping to the right and nearly losing her footing.

Blue magic circuits traveled up the stick, strengthening it as the young Tohsaka muttered the spell. She narrowed her eyes into a glare as the Assassin walked slowly towards her. 'What am I doing?! He could kill me almost just as easily as Archer,' she thought backing up at every step the man took. "I'm going to ask this once again, what do you want?"

"I've been ordered to kill you," a scratchy voice answered back.

"Kotomine ordered..." she trailed off, she knew that Kotomine was bad but she didn't think that he would ever order her to be dead. She steadied her breathing as she could feel panic rise in her. 'If he was ordered to kill me then I'm definitely going to die. Unless I can somehow get out of here.' Once again, her eyes darted all over the place to look for a way out. "Look, I know you Assassin's are pretty loyal to your Master, but can I just remind you that he just sent the rest of you to die by Rider's hand?" The Assassin stopped moving for a split second, almost hesitant. Which gave Jean the time to run towards a door that she saw not too far from her. However, she felt an excruciating pain in her right shoulder as she moved to the door. She let out a yell of pain, grabbing onto her shoulder tightly almost falling over. She made it to the door, looking behind her she glared.

Her right hand searched for the doorknob, when she found it, she clutched onto it tightly. The Assassin walked closer to her, a dagger in his hand. She flinched slightly before trying to open the wooden door, when it wouldn't she began to freak out slightly. She moved the doorknob continually, however, a small voice in her head spoke out to her. 'Calm down, Jean...'  her hand let go of the doorknob. 'Just calm down and let me take care of this...'

Jean Tohsaka closed her eyes slightly, suddenly feeling completely calm. Assassin gave the young woman a strange look before she erupted into a blinding blue light. In the girl's place, stood a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She had short, slightly wavy red hair with fair skin, she opened her eyes to show crystal blue orbs. She wore a black cloak with teal lining, a light blue v-neck shirt, dark blue pants, with black boots that had a light blue rim. A sword laid in her hand as she glared at the Servant in front of her.
