Cass suddenly threw her head back, connecting sharply with the man's nose as she elbowed him in the ribs, slipping from the man's grasp momentarily to whirl around.
As she did so, her hand slipped to the knife, unholstering it and crouching low in a fighting stance.
"Lucky shot." The man spoke quietly, obviously trying not to alert the men in the other room, hands balled into fists.
"Certainly caught you by surprise," Cass growled, barely above a whisper. "Who are you, and why are you here?"
The man's head angled down, looking at the knife in her hand. His stance was as tense as hers, both prepared to spring into action should the other step out of line.
"You plan on using that?" the masked man asked.
Cassie's grip just tightened on the hilt of her knife. "If you take a step closer, you'll see. Now answer me. Who are you and why are you here?"
Mask's grin turned into a grimace and gestured to the cloth covering the top half of his face, obscuring his features somewhat.
"I don't really think you understand the point of a mask.''

Vaguely sense, as it takes our hand, guiding us to the inevitable." - James Wesley All her life, Ava had to witness that knowing the future, doesn't mean you can actually change it.

Masked
Lily Easton wasn't the confident type. She was the youngest and usually hid in her sister's shadow. But when her Mother sends her and her sisters to high school for the first time--- everything changes. Now Lily is forced to defend herself in a new world of fear, mystery and pain. And her only ally is a masked stranger she knows nothing about. ... or does she? ~~~ Sneak Peek :) My heart beat was like a pounding drum. I could feel his stare, but I couldn't see his eyes. It annoyed me so much. I imagined him taking off my mask and realizing I was lying. What if he blamed me? What if he didn't want to see me again? As Blade walked out of the room so effortlessly, I found myself trying to stop myself from ripping off his mask. This feeling was indescribable. I had never felt it before. Have you ever felt such a magnetic pull to someone that you couldn't stop looking at them? That whenever they walking into a room you felt like you couldn't breath? That if you did you wouldn't be able to control yourself anymore? ~~~ Editing in progress. Previously titled 'Lily'. ~~~ #287 in teenfiction - Feb. 11, 2020Complete
Inferna Nuntius
“We both know I did what I had to do. You are mine to protect and that’s what I did. I protected you by getting rid of those who had hurt you. I remember you thanking me in your own special way.” His lips turned up in a sneer, turning her stomach. "That was before I came to realize what a monster you really were.” As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt the air leave her lungs and a giant hand was wound around her neck, pressing her against the wall. David bared his long canines at her, snarling and growling loudly. “I am no more a monster than your father is, Cass. You remember that the next time you get in trouble and need someone to bail you out.” He snapped his teeth at her and pulled away, retracting his teeth quickly. “Or the next time you feel like talking at one in the morning. You may have a gun, a badge, and cuffs, but you don’t have a cape. You’re not a superhero, Cass. You’re not invincible. You can still get hurt. You can still die.” “I’ll try to keep that in mind.” She replied, her words coated by sarcasm and defiance. He released her from his grasp and stalked down the hallway, forgoing the elevator for the stairs. Once she was sure he was out of hearing range, Cassidy gasped loudly and reached for her neck, gently placing her fingers on the delicate skin where his hand had just been. She swallowed loudly and felt the slight burn that had taken up residence in her throat. Fuck me, she thought to herself. If these criminals aren’t going to be the end of me, my family surely will be.Complete

Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.Complete
