"Everything dies eventually... we just speed up the process."
"By putting a bullet through their head?"
"Precisely, Reyna."

***

Life lessons from dad.

Only these aren't your everyday lessons... but then again, the Deryns aren't your everyday family. After all, why else would they teach their five children how to assemble a rifle in under three minutes?

Everything was fine, though.

At least until someone put a bullet through their father's skull, kidnapped their mother and somehow managed to cover their trail from some of the best assassins in the world of Loquin.
Not the easiest thing to do. 

They made one fatal mistake, though.

They left the children alive.

Big no no.

Mummy and Daddy Deryn were assassins, you see, so why wouldn't their children be?

It's a family profession at the end of the day.

Only one problem. Seeing as how they don't have their Official Assassin Licences, they can't go out looking for their mother, and there's only one way to get it: Study at the fine institute dedicated to training the country's best, brightest, and most deadly assassins.

What could possibly go wrong?

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

Melancholy by ruani_writes

She hated them. They loved her with everything in them. The universe truly has a sick way of telling you it's there, doesn't it? From being kidnapped to being abused, that was all Arabella saw in life. It was all she ever knew. They tell you to keep fighting but sometimes you realize... you were just a child. Now she's built herself up using her pain as the next step to her strength. She's learnt how to strive forward even as her past haunts her mind crawling up her back every passing second. That is until the first 7 people who only ever brought her pain find their way back into her life. She has no way to let go of her past when they come right back to her. The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.

-I had unpublished this in hopes of editing and republishing. But i have lost my motivation for this story and cannot say if i will ever return to it. My deepest apologies.- "As an advanced civilisation, we prefer to stay alive so to further our knowledge, not to mention the factor of a human's fear of death. But, despite all this, weapons for mass destruction have still been made and are still in use to this day. By now you would think that the need for these armaments is little to none, but we still use and are trained in the use of such instruments of death. This is one of the many faults of man." When abandoned at birth, children have only two places to go; a home or an orphanage. For children in an orphanage, once they turn 15 they are taken to the SFYA - School For Young Assassins. Jayla is one of those select few who have been taken to this school. It's her first year and on day one she is put to the test. Find out what happens to Jayla as you take a dive into 'School For Young Assassins'. Who knows, you might learn some skills of your own along the way. [WARNING!!!: This story may be more lighthearted than other assassin books, but this one contains swearing at varying degrees, also some potential gore. If you don't like it, don't read it!] Completed: DD/MM/YYYY?

Hollow by ShortandSweet01

He watched from a distance as she played. Running through the park, chasing something from her imagination, he'd never seen her so happy. It was the day of her sixth birthday. Her long red hair and blue eyes along with her bright purple party dress caught the eyes of many visiting the park that day. He'd been watching her for weeks, he knew that today was the day. Should he go back without the girl, he'd surely be punished. With them was where she was meant to be. The girl wandered farther away from the crowd, dancing and spinning to music that only she could hear. The family was completely unaware, still preparing food on their picnic table. The girl's mother carefully placed six candles into the brightly frosted cake. They were distracted and he knew that it was time. She kneeled beside a tree picking clovers from the ground, out of sight of everyone. No one even even glanced in their direction. In only a second he was beside her. She didn't know what was happening until it was too late. He knew it was what he had to do. So he took her. ~ ~ ~ After twelve years of training in one of the most elite assassination groups in the world, Bella Price is returned to the life she was forced to forget. When the agency she was raised in is exposed and taken down by the American government, she is placed back into the arms of the family that she once had. Having forgotten the feeling of true emotion, she fights to regain the humanity that was once ripped away from her.
