A/N Something I wrote and I'm curious to see if you want more. It was actually pretty fun to write since there is no romance and it's action based.
Tell me if you want more or hate it.
Seth stands in the building, holding his sword as he looks at the man that he just killed. Seth's eyes the where like ice as he watches the body twitch one last time. Seth then turns and walks towards the door. His job was done. He sheaths his sword, stepping over the bodies in the hallway. There wasn't another living soul in the building he had ensured that. He finally walks to the roof and looks up as the helicopter comes to the roof. He looks at the man and nods, getting in. A sign that the job was done.
Flashback
9 years ago an 10-year-old boy is brought into the league of Shadow's base. His parents murdered by the leader due to a betrayal. All the boy knew was that he was woken from his warm bed and brought here after his parents where murder. He glares at the leader of the assassins and tries not to show fear. He had seen the bodies of his parents and his father had always said if he was brought here to be silent.
"Seth your family is gone.. You must pay me back for their debts and for their betrayal." The leader states, "you will be our best assassin.. I see it in your eyes and it's part of your heritage. Seth.. welcome to the League of Shadows."
8 years later
Seth had been trained by the best. Since that night, he has not spoken a word. He though at 18 was fast becoming one of the most skilled in the trainings. His body was lean and strong due to all the physical work he does. Secretly though he wanted nothing more than to kill the leader for the death of his parents.
present time
Seth gets off the copter and makes his way down into the Leagues central base. He walks through the hall way and the other assassins just nod to him. Since he doesn't talk to any of them or even seem to notice they're around. He walks to the leaders chambers and then kneels on one knee when he's walked to the central part of the room. He puts his fist over his heart and offers up a data stick to the man. The man smiles and takes the data, "I trust no one is alive?"
Seth shakes his head and looks at him.
The leader nods, "Good. Rest there is another job I am sending you on soon."
Seth nods and then stands, heading out of the room. He walks towards the armoury and opens the door. He looks at the man walking around the room, putting things in their place. The man looks at him and smiles softly, "Hey."
Seth nods and offers him his sword and bow since he's out of arrows.
The man beams and takes the weapons, "kid some day you are going to have to talk."
Seth smirks softly. The man, Paul or as some call him Big show, had always been good to Seth. He was the one that would protect Seth when the guards or people wanted to hurt him. Paul's size was why he was picked to work in the armory. Since no one would screw with Paul. Seth moves around the armoury looking at all the items as Paul moves around, picking up some arrows and smaller arrows for Seth's small cross-bow on Seth's wrist. Seth finally moves and sits on a counter top, letting Paul do his work.
Paul eyes Seth and then sighs, "kid if I could have picked another life for you I would have."
Seth shakes his head and then smiles softly at Paul. When Paul walks over Seth touches Paul's heart and then hugs the man gently. Paul was the closest thing he had to a father. Paul hugs him and whispers, "guess that means you forgive me for not saving you when you where younger."
Paul then looks at the 19-year-old Seth and sighs, "want to see something new."
Seth nods and jumps down, following Paul. Paul leads him to the testing room and points to the corner, "stand there."
Paul puts up a training dummy and then walks over to Seth. He uses Seth's bow and pulls out an arrow. When he shots it, the head of the arrow embeds it's self in the dummy. Then there's a hissing sound and the dummy's chest beings to melt away.
"Not really for people.. but for doors or windows.. it will be a silent entrance for you," Paul states.
Seth walks over and looks at it, he nods and gives Paul the thumbs up. Paul chuckles and goes back to the main room and puts some of the special arrows in to the pack he's sending Seth with. Paul gives Seth the pack and his bow back. He also hands Seth his sharpened sword, "Kid.. come back alive when you go out again."
Seth smirks at him and makes a soft Pfft sound showing he's not scared.
Paul sighs softly and then gives Seth a small bag with some candies, "Just come back."
Seth smiles and hugs Paul, before leaving the room. He knows that Paul's concern is pretty justified. Most of the people Seth trained with are dead. Seth is one of the few that made it. Seth goes to his room and puts his weapons on the bed. He then strips and goes to the bathroom and fills the tub wanting to clean himself off. He watches the tub fill. After it fills Seth crawls into it and the water turns Crimson from the blood. The blood had dried on him and not it was coming off in flakes. He washes himself and then lays back in the water.
His mind swirling with this last mission. Where none of the guards had even gotten close to him, He still had to kill them. He felt a little bad since they hadn't had a chance against him. He finally gets out and dries himself. He pulls out some more casual clothing. Just black leather pants and longer black shirt that covers his hips. He pulls on his boots and then heads towards the dinning room. He gets some food and sits by Bo and Ziggler. Bo was a communications expert despite the fact that he was the most annoying person ever. Seth could tolerate him because it suited him to and because Seth's silence sometimes lead to Bo actually being quiet. Dolph Ziggler was another assassin. He more though just blew things up as an explosives expert.
Dolph also had been trying to get in Seth's pants since Seth was 16 and Dolph was 20. He also kept trying to get Seth to speak. Including betting Seth that his kill count could match Seth's and if it ever did Seth would owe him a conversation.. a real one. Dolph now was still behind Seth by a lot. In their business explosions where harder to hide so they didn't often use Dolph. If Seth ever had to comment on his relationship with Dolph it was as close to a brotherhood as he had. He wasn't certain what Dolph would do if Seth actually tried to do something with him.
Dolph looks at Seth, "your back.. How many?"
Seth rolls his eyes and holds up both hands.
Dolph sighs, "10.. Fuck man your like so far ahead that I will never catch up."
Seth grins at him.
Bo smirks at Dolph, "You just need to BOLEIVE."
Dolph glares at Bo, "Your not helping."
Seth shakes his head and pats Bo's shoulder.
Bo grins at Dolph and then leans forward, "you could always work on your "sword play" Dolph and then maybe your kill count could be in bed."
Dolph snorts, "my "sword play"is perfect thanks."
Bo laughs and then picks up his apple and hands it to Seth, "eat you look like you lost some weight."
Seth looks down at himself and then shakes his head trying to say he didn't. He takes the apple though and happily eats it.
Dolph looks at Seth, "You already going to another job soon."
Seth nods and looks at Dolph.
Dolph nods, "I heard it was against another assassin group.. someone who is taking our business."
Seth frowns softly.
Dolph nods, "while you were gone they took out two of our men. They call themselves the Viper pit."
Seth nods and motions Dolph to talk more.
Dolph shakes his head, "that's all I know. Well and that they took out the Dudley's and Alberto Del Rio."
Seth frowns, Alberto was damn good with guns and well Dudley's where no lose as they where pretty bad. The fact that this other group was taking them out is worrisome though.
Dolph looks at Seth and nods, "yeah but hey you can take them out."
Seth nods and sighs softly. He really hopes that he can.
