"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?

-I had unpublished this in hopes of editing and republishing.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.

My Seven by DanniDana8

"Hi, I'm Noa." Glancing to my right, I realized the girl was sitting next to me. "Um, I'm Delaney." "Nice to meet you. It's nice to finally have another girl to talk to. I've been stuck with these assholes here for three years." "What, did they kidnap you too?" At that, everyone turned to me and it was quiet again. Tyde, of course, looked pissed. I was beginning to think he was mad all the time. "Actually no. Enzo is my boyfriend and I moved here with them when my parents died." Oh, that's awkward. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-" "No, no. It's okay. I understand. It probably seems like that but I'm definitely here willingly." She laughed awkwardly, trying to break the silence. I snorted, "well that makes one of us." ------ Delaney Withers' father was killed 5 years ago and her world was flipped upside down. Having to quit school and help her mother take care of her younger brother and sister, she thought her life couldn't get any worse. That is until, her life is flipped once more by seven people.

Legacy by LKingston08

Book 1 of the Legends Never Die series. Legend. A program designed by five previous agencies, who had banded together to create an all powerful team of agents. This was a group of the worlds strongest, smartest, and loyal people. They were sought out by Legend's commanders, split into teams of five, and trained into powerful beings. Hackers, Assassins, Combat Soldiers. They were weapons of humans, used by Legend to protect their home, communities, and people. Various programs of Legend were spread all around the world, each trained and conditioned the same. And now? Most of them were terminated. Very few stayed at Legend, and became head of the programs. Now they oversee each and every asset. Those who left, started normal lives. Found love, had children. Got office jobs or moved to a beach for retirement. But no matter how hidden, they would never be safe, and some of those agents understood that. So as Legend began to dye out, the Chiefs started contacting all former Legend agents, and proposing a new idea. A new agency. A smarter, more powerful, more compassionate and loyal agency. One that would ensure the protection of each family. Knowing that no former Legend agent would be safe on their own, they agreed to the new program. All former Legend assets and their families would return to the agency, where they would live comfortable lives. Where they would be safe. The children of those former agents were raised into the new program. Assessed by members of their families and head of the agency. Once old enough to be evaluated on their skills, they were split into teams of five, and trained just like their parents. More powerful than their parents ever were, at even younger ages. Each of them became, a Legacy. Follow the story of Legacy's strongest group of young agents through character point of views, development, and conflict.

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 :)

Heartless by Ayalana1234

They're on opposite sides of a long-standing war. And now, thanks to one catastrophically unfortunate mission at the elite assassin academy they both attend... they're partners. She thinks he's an arrogant control freak with a god complex. He thinks she's an emotionally stunted gremlin with anger issues. They're both correct. She's an assassin. she looks like your average teenage girl, if your average teenage girl was emotionally dead inside, allergic to affection, and had a PhD in homicide. He's a mafia heir. He is cold, calculating, and terrifyingly untouchable. He doesn't flinch. Doesn't feel. And absolutely does not lose. Welcome to the academy. You're already bleeding. Sneak peak:' "You're dangerous, Love" he murmured. "And you're tempted." A beat. A breath. And then, just barely audible "Yes." I smiled, sharp and mean and satisfied. "Then come be reckless with me, darling."
