A/N: okay so I've been writing this for a while and I really like it. I've got some more chapters so please review if you want me to post them. Toni is played by the lovely miss Nina Dobrev. Here is her for the first chapter: cgi/set?id=81254699
I quickly wiped the sweat off my forehead as I waited for Scott to pull himself off the ground. He used the ropes on the perimeter of the ring to steady himself before coming at me again. He was sloppy and I was easily able to sidestep his attack. He recovered after stumbling slightly and was going to punch me in the lower back, but I spun around quickly and used my right hand to push his blow off course. With my right hand still holding his arm away, I punched him in the nose with my left. It made a noise that made me smile and he wobbled a bit on his feet. It didn't look like Scott was going to fall, so I stuck my foot behind him and swiped his legs out from under him. When he hit the ground, he didn't get back up.
The bell rang and I laughed. Scott laughed too, from where he was laying on the ground. I offered him my hand and heaved him up on his feet.
"You know, one of these days, I'm going to beat you," he said.
I laughed, "Keep dreaming, Buddy. Maybe if you beg, I might train you."
"I think I'd like to keep whatever I have left of my pride."
"Your loss."
"Hey, Toni! Your dad wants to talk to you," one of my dad's guards called to me.
I threw on a tank top with the sides cut out over my sports bra and ran into his office. It's best not to keep my dad waiting, even if you are his only daughter. You see, my dad is the leader of the gang that runs most of London, The Ghosts. We're called The Ghosts because when we do our jobs, we leave nothing behind except our specific calling cards. I always leave a business card with a scythe printed on it because people call me the Reaper since I usually bring death wherever I go. I also have a scythe tattooed down my right ribcage and side.
I sat down in the chair across from my father and stayed quiet while he was on the phone.
"Yes. Mhm. She'll be there tonight. Yes. Okay. I'll talk to you later, Jeanne," he said into the phone.
Oh, no. He was talking to my mom. That was never good. They divorced a few years back and usually only spoke when it concerned me. made sense that they had to talk now, thought, since I may have gotten kicked out of school last week. It wasn't anything new, that was actually the third school I'd been to in the last two years. It was also the last private school in the area which was a problem since Grayson Montgomery's daughter can't go to public school.
"Mr. Mayweather just called from Deerborn High, you got in. You leave for your mother's tonight," he told me after hanging up.
I nodded.
"You're also going to be using her last name to stay under the radar of the local gang, The Rippers."
I nodded again. Toni Dubois wasn't so bad.
"Marcus Styles is the leader and his son goes to the same school you will. I want you to watch him, gain intel. I'd like to take them over soon, but we haven't been able to get anyone deep enough to figure out how yet. Do whatever needs to be done, but don't get expelled this time, please. You understand?"
I nodded one last time, "Yes, Daddy. Thank you for trusting me with this."
"I trained you, I know what you can do and what you can handle and this job is perfect for you."
I got up and went over to kiss him on the cheek, "I'm going to go pack now."
I turned to leave, but stopped when he started to talk again, "Oh, and don't forget to have fun with it, Princess."
I laughed, "Oh, I won't."
It didn't take me long to pack because I already had some stuff at my mom's, so I didn't need much. I put it all in my black, BMW convertible and was on the road by six. My mom lived pretty far, so i got there a little before midnight.
I ate a really late dinner as my mom filled me in on the new school, what she knew about the Rippers, and the other "kids" in the neighborhood.
"Mom," I said with a mouthful, "not a kid, 18 remember?"
"Whatever."
I finished eating and kissed her on the cheek before going up to my room to get some sleep. I started school tomorrow and I needed to be as alert as I could be.
