Illegal Love (Short Story)

True love

It was a dark cold night. The hunter was looking for her prey. As an assassin she had to get the job done fast. No slip ups or else it meant death.

She kept walking when she saw a man her age. He was wearing dark jeans and a blue hoodie. She walked closer and closer to him until she could hear his music playing through is head phones. She simply taped his broad shoulder. He looked back at her with his crystal blue eyes that glamoured off the moonlight. He took out one headphone to talk to her.

"Oh hello" He smiled

"Umm sorry to bother you but can I use your phone real quick?" She asked him with a smile and batted her long dark eyelashes

"Ya sure go ahead" He blushed as their fingers touch when giving her the phone. She called her own phone at her home, witch of course no one answered because she lives alone.

"Damn it she didn't answer"

"Who didn't answer?" He looked confused but laughed.

"My mom"

"Need some help? I could walk you home if you want....I knows this city well" He says to her.

"Yes please. Thank you"

"Spring view" She says with a smile.

"Alright, I live by there, about a ten minute walk"

"Ok thank you"

She holds onto his upper arm when she turns around and sees a couple of guys walking behind them. He giggles and blushes lightly as they begin to walk.

"So what's a cute girl doing out at this hour?"

"I just left a party. I walked in on my boyfriend fucking another girl. Well I mean my ex and my ex best friend." She starts tearing up.

"Damm....assholes these days am I right?" He says as he holds her hand tightly and tears up also.

"Thank you." I intertwines their fingers and smiles down at the ground as they walked hand in hand.

"No problem, so what's your name?" He asked with a smile.

"Star-" She blushes "- would about you?"

"I'm Ash, so are you cold?"
She remembers her boss telling her about a person named Ash and how he was the person her boss told to kill.

"Ash wow that's a nice name-" She smiles "- and yes"

Star felt bad for having to kill Ash. She was starting to take a liking to him. She became sad when she knew what she had to do. He moved closer to her.

"Better?" His smile lit up the dark night and warmed up her cold heart.

"Yes" She blushed. She was thinking that she couldn't kill the sweet cute man besides her. She couldn't do it she told herself. They reached her street.

"So what one is yours?" He faced her and asked.

"The one on the corner" She stated. They smiled at each other as they walked to her house.

"Thank you" Star said.

"No problem Starla" He smiled at her as they held their hands together.

"Do you want to come in? I have brownies" She said with a smile.

"Yea, nothing else to do and I love brownies"

"Haha ok" She smiled as they walked in. She quickly covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and he passed out. He collapsed.

"Sorry sweetheart. No offense."

Star dragged Ash's body down into a secret room. He sleeps quietly as she ties him up to a cold metal chair. She has no expression on her face. She walks away and start to sharpen one of her long butcher knifes as he slowly awakes. He shakes in the chair as he is asleep and wakes up in a panic.

"Hi babe"

"W-why am I tied up Starla?... " He try's to get free.

"I'm sorry, I have nothing against you. This is just my job." She looks at him while sharpening her knife.

A tear falls from his face and he smiles
"I guess I'm gonna get killed by someone I love....great"

Stars heart breaks as she hears that. Then she realizes that the lies him.

"Shit don't say that. I... I love you too but I have to do this." She walks closer to him.

"D-dont worry... It was gonna happen sooner or later" He looks down and gets prepared to die.

She gets closer and puts the knife to his throat, she starts crying and drips the knife on the floor. He looks up at her in pure utter disbelieve. Even though they just met an instant bond was formed that is only talked about in books.

"Damn it I can't do it. But you have to! I can't do it! Look at him! You have to! I can't!" She talks to herself as tears roll down her rosy cheeks. Ash cries softly and looks down.

"I love you. Your the only who who has interest in me. It's something I can't explain." She walks in circles.

"Can you untie me so I can hug you?"

"No no no. If I do then you will escape. I can't have that happen." She looks down at him.

She sits on his lap and hugs him. Ash rests his head on her shoulder. She cries on his shoulder.

"Why won't you untie me?"

"You might escape"

"Why would I want to leave someone I truly love?" And with that she cuts the ropes and walks away from him and picks up her pistol and puts it to her head.

He sees her do this and cries.
"D-dont leave me..."

"If I don't kill you they will kill me. You go free. I'll do this myself"

"I won't let anyone touch you Star!"

She continues to sob with the gun pointed at her head. He slowly walks to her and pulls the gun away gently and kisses her lips softly. She kisses back as a tear rolls down her face. He holds her hand as he puts the gun in the back of his pants. They look into each other's eyes.

"I'm sorry"

"Why?"

"All of this" Ash laughs and smiles softly.

"What? Am I missing something?"

"It's alright Star"

"Really? I knocked you out and tired to kill you and myself"

"I wouldnt mind of I died by the hands of my lover" He kisses her lips passionately and holds her hands. They smile at each other.

"I love you"

"I love you too"

"Can we go to your room?" He asks as he wipes away her tears.

"Yes" She smiles. They walk it if the basement up the stairs and into stars room. He lays down on her bed and she follows. He holds on to her.

She looks up at him and says,

"This love his illegal between a assassin and a guy...but I don't care, we need to run now Ash... We are being watched"
