Assassin's love

Chapter one- Assassin

Pov Sophia

I can't believe that I am down in the sewers waiting for another text. I got the text message this morning from my superiors saying they had a job for me to do in New York City. I thought sure probably just a Politian or some high powered criminal, so I took the first plain out of New Orleans, the place my last job was. It was simple enough, just to take care of a business man that got too big for his boots and make it so the body couldn't be found.

So I went to the closest airport and caught the first flight to New York. I landed at JFK at about 2 in the morning. I got into one of those famous yellow cabs and headed to my hotel that was up in the Bronx. It felt so good to be home. I lived in New York until I was five that's when my life changed and I became what I am today, an assassin, I do the jobs that need doing under the radar and so it can't be traced. I was trained to be a fighter and I was erased from all walks of my former life. To the outside world I do not exist, I am just a ghost of child that disappeared of the face of the Earth. I was five when I disappeared and I am seventeen now.

So anyway I got to my hotel, went to the check-in desk and got my room key. I went up in the elevator to the third floor and walked to the end of the corridor to my room. I went up to my bed and chucked my bag on the floor. Just then my phone went and the message to get ready and go into the sewers.

So I took of my blue jeans and replaced them for jet black ones. My coat came off and I changed my orange top for a black one. I then went further into my bag; I pulled out my pistols and strapped them to my thighs; my daggers, they are placed into holders, then I fasten them to the lower part of my legs; next out of my bag comes my fans, my favourite weapons when I am fighting, they have built in blades and are made from diamond so they cannot be broken, but break anything else when they are out; on my arms I have arm guards that have needles in them that I can used to immobilise my targets; onto my back I place a samurai sword I got from a trip I took to Japan and final into the back of my belt I place a pair of sais. Well you can never say that I am a girl who doesn't come prepared for all situations.

So of I went down the manhole that was in the alley at the side of the building. So back to where we started and I am down in the sewers waiting for my next text, and I am beginning to think about why the hell I would be sat down here in the sewers. Then I hear my phone beep.

"Your targets live down in the sewers. They are monsters, that are nothing like humans and need to be taken care of and destroyed before they hurt anyone or thing. There are four mutant turtles and one mutant rat. Our information tells us that they have the sewer system bugged with traps and cameras. The only way you find out where their lair is if you find one and follow it back to where they live. This is your mission and we expect it to be completed quickly, do not disappoint us. Good luck. Agent X."

I never understood why he calls himself 'Agent X' I know who he is and yet still he doesn't use his name, I guess it is to do with security. Anyway what the hell, mutants living below New York. Oh well, a job is a job.

Just then I hear something up ahead, to my shock I see a turtle. I begin to follow him; well at least I think it's a him. A pull on my mask, to keep my face hidden and to protect my identity.

"Yo, Donnie I am on my way home."

Bloody hell he can talk, well at least now I know it is a he from his voice. So I follow behind in the shadows. Just then he stops at a dead end, ok now I am confused. I watch as he pulls on one of the pipes above his head and the wall opens. He steps inside and the wall begins to close so I follow and quickly disappear back into the shadows. I climb up the wall and from where I sit I can see the four turtles.

"Hello Mikey."

"Yo Leo, Raph, Donnie."

Ok, so from what I can tell the one with the orange bandana and nun chucks, is called Mikey. The one with the blue bandana and katanas is called Leo. The one with the purple bandana and bo staff is called Donnie. Finally the one with the red bandana and sais is called Raph. Ok so there are the four turtles so where is the rat.

"Ah my sons you are all here."

Ok did that rat just call the turtles his sons, so this is them, I guess this is as good a time as any to take them out.

I jump down from where I am hiding, "hope I ain't interrupting anything," I see them all jump up from where they were and take up a fighting stance, I am impressed, it would seem that they are trained in the art of ninjutsu.

"Who are you? And what do you want with me and my family?" the rat asked, I can hear the anger building in his voice, they may look like monsters but from what I have seen so far they do not act like ones, they act human.

"I have been sent here to kill you," I say nonchalantly, and they all give me a look as if to say come and try.

"Like hell. You can try lady but you will not succeed," I think that was Raph, well whoever it was he is now coming at me at full speed with his sais drawn towards me. I simply draw mine dodge his attack, kick his legs, to throw him of balance then, throw him in the direction he just came at me from.

"You are well trained, my girl, but might I ask, why you wish to harm my family?" the rat he talks so politely, no, snap out of it, you have a job to do, but I only kill if I believe that there is a good reason to kill them, all the people I have killed they have all done something wrong, but these... people, all they seem to me is different, not your usual looking people, but from their looks they care for each other, omg, stop it, just do your job and then go.

"Are you going to answer my master or just stand there?" blue, oh yeah, Leo.

"Yes I am going to answer. I do not wish to do anything; I have been hired to kill your family, so I think I have done enough talking."

So then two of the turtles come towards me, Leo and, purple, Donnie. They come at me and use what I think must be some kind of double attack. I block them easy enough; they don't have the greatest sense of where their center is. I knock Donnie of his feet and stab one of my needles into the back of his neck, which makes it so he can't move his limbs. I back away from him and watch Leo come up and go to pull the needle out.

"I wouldn't do that; if you pull it out wrong you will paralyse him for the rest of his life."

"Why would you care?"

"I was just saying, but if you want to do it, when he can't move it will be your fault."

"WELL YOU ARE JUST GONNA KILL US ANYWAY," um, red, oh right Raph.

"Fine pull it out, but your master doesn't look like he wants you to do it."

"Master?"

"My sons do not touch the needle, I have seen this sort of thing before. We cannot risk harming Donatello. Now let's get rid of our unwanted guest, my sons."

So all four of them now come at me, kicking, punching and using their weapons. I simply take out two of my daggers and block their attacks. Their master I send flying and he lands next to Donnie on the floor. Next I grab Leo and Raph's arm and throw them to join their master. So I grab the last one, um Mikey, and hold the dagger to his throat.

"MICKY!!!"

"Please, let my son go, we have done nothing to you, to anyone, please, don't kill him."

"Master, don't beg her to do anything," suddenly his master gives him a look as if to say, we have to, and that's when I see it, the look in his eyes, it is something of pure sadness and undying love for his son whose life is currently in my hands.

"Please, do not kill my son."

I think I have been given the wrong information, these are not monsters, these are more human than most people I have met in my line of work. I can see tears in their eyes.

So I release Mikey from my hands and see him run over to his brothers, where he is welcomed into the arms of Leo. I place my daggers back into their holders and stand up just in time for, um, Raph to hold one of his sais to my neck.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you?" I can hear the venom in his voice.

"Because I am the only who can pull that needle out of your brother's neck without paralysing him," ok, so now wasn't the best time to be smart, but that's just who I am, and my mouth talks before my brain fully thinks through what I am saying. I can feel him press his sai closer to my neck, but before I can say anything his master speaks up.

"That is quite enough Raphael. My girl," wait why would he call me his girl, god I hate old people, "would you kindly remove the needle from my sons neck and then maybe we can talk."

"Um, ok." So I walk over towards Donnie and I can feel the looks the others are giving me, if you hurt him you will die. I take out another needle and I can hear a sword being pulled. "Leo, I am not gonna hurt him but I need the other needle to take out the first," he looks almost shocked that I know his name as are the rest, "look yeah I know your names but in my line of work I have to learn and remember things fast." They still looked shocked. So I sit down on the floor next to Donnie and place the other needle into a different part of his neck, I can feel the others tense, so I remove the first needle I put in and then slowly remove the other. I then quickly stand and back away from them.
