"Sprite" Black

"I finally found you."

Those words have run through my head more times than I wish to count.

What did she mean? She couldn't have possibly been looking for me, right?

Ever since I left the Fyre I had been off-grid. The only times I was able to be found was when I was using a network to get any news. Pretty much 'keeping my ear to the ground' way.

My name is Sprite Black. Yeah. That's me. I was once apart of an Assassin Clan, called the League of Fyre.

Two years ago I left the clan to pursue my life long dream of being a dancer. Sadly, no one cared enough to look my way twice.

I had been thinking of returning to the Fyre, but quickly shot down the idea. I didn't want to seem like a failure.

I struggle to move around in the bed and when I manage to swing my legs over the side of the bed, the door bursts open and a raven haired woman comes rushing in.

"I wouldn't move if I were you." She says exasperatedly.

"Why not?" I say gruffly.

"You have a dislocated shoulder."

I huff, that was all?

"I have to put it back in place, you know."

I nod. I have had to pop bones and such back into place before. It would be nice to have someone do it for me.

However before the woman can even make a move to touch me, another woman bursts through the door.

And when I look at her, her facial features look exactly the same as the raven hair. Except the one who just came in, has red hair.

"Am I seeing double?"

Both woman chuckle.

"No, we're twins."

I raise an eyebrow, "Usually twins don't grow up to look so much alike."

The twins ignore me and introduce themselves.

"I'm Alexandra and this is my sister, Scarlet."

Ah so the red head is Scarlet and the black haired woman is Alexandra.

"Nice to meet you both. I'm Sprite." I only give them my first name since they didn't give me theirs.

Scarlet scoffs, "Really? What an interesting name." I could tell she was making fun of me by the way she put emphasis on 'Interesting'.

Alexandra slaps Scarlet on the back of the head and Scarlet smiles sheepishly.

Then Alexandra turns to me with a broad grin. I could tell she is the nicer of the two.

"Now about that shoulder."

I nod and Alex pushes me gently onto my back again and sits on the bed, grabbing my dislocated shoulder in her hands.

"Now don't forget to breathe."

Scarlet coughs to cover her laugh from behind her sister and I could tell it is some inside joke I don't get.

Then Alexandra places her right foot on the join of my shoulder and pushes harshly.

I take a pillow with my good arm and cover my mouth with it to muffle my scream of pain.

"One more."

She then basically slams her foot into my shoulder. It wasn't as bad as the first time, but it still hurt.

She bends my arm and then straightens it, testing the muscles.

"Will I live?" I jokingly ask.

Alexandra laughs and pulls me into a sitting position.

"Come on, Sprite everyone is waiting to see you."

Wait what?

"Back that train up. Who is 'everyone'?"

Alexandra goes to reply but Scarlet beats her to it.

"The Fyre Assassins. Duh."

Alexandra turns her head to glare at her sister and Scarlet just shrugs.

"So we're in the Assassin House?"

I seriously do not know why they call it a house. It's a freaking mansion for crying out loud.

Alexandra nods and begins to usher me out of the room.

"Let's go get you something to eat."

I grin, hearing my stomach growl.

In the hallway, I turn toward the sisters, the red head one mostly.

"And I wouldn't go around mocking other people of their names. I mean take a look at your own, Scarlet."

And with that I happily walk away toward the Dining hall.

And before I go around the corner I hear laughter and Scarlet go, "Really, Alex?"
