She stood in the darkness as she watched her prey from the nearby building.

"Do it now." A voice spoke through her ear piece. She moved from her perch on the roof and jumped to the roof of the building where her prey was. She then slowly crept to a window. She then kicked it in and slid in it.

"Be careful Aurora, the building is heavily guarded." said another, squeaky, voice. Aurora chuckled darkly and walked into the main hallway of the building. She didn't worry about the security. She knew that she could take them. Compared to her they were merely insects that she, as the swatter, could easily squash.

"Hey! What are you doing here? This area is restricted!" a guard yelled at her from behind. Aurora slowly turned her head and smiled.

"Really?" she said slowly.

"Yes! Now please ma'am you need to leave." the guard said as he grabbed her arm. Aurora was getting impatient. She was being delayed by this useless guard.

"Patience Aurora just play innocent and get out of there." the squeaky voice said.

"Sorry T, I'm just not in the mood to be innocent." Aurora replied. She then pulled a small dagger from her sleeve.

"Ro, don't do anything rash, just play nice. Ok?" T pleaded. Aurora rolled her eyes and stabbed the guard in the stomach. He let out a little yelp and fell to the floor.

"Ro! Ro! What just happened? Ro, are you there Ro-" Aurora crushed the ear piece and kept walking.

"Sorry T." she mumbled as she reached the room where her target was located. She opened the door and walked in. The room was dark with only a stream of moonlight coming in from a tiny window.

"You know, I didn't expect you to come," said a deep male voice. So it is a guy. Aurora thought.

"I hold to my word. And I always finish a job," she replied. She watched her target turn around slowly in the dark.

"You can't delay this any longer, Annuli." she chuckled darkly while drawing her sword.

"Ah, I know. I was just hoping you would have mercy on me." The man sighed. Aurora lifted her sword and then hesitated. Something inside of her reminded her how much she really hated killing people. Especially, people she didn't even know, or at least about. A blind kill.

"So are you gonna do it?" the man asked a smirk on his lips. Aurora pressed her sword against the man's neck. His smile faded.

"Just answer me this, what is your name?" she asked tears streaming down her face.

"Luther, Luther Rockwall." the man replied.

"I see, well may the Lord have mercy on you." Aurora said softly.

"Funny, I was going to say the same to you." Luther answered, and that was it. Aurora slit his throat clean and quick. Her tears fell hard as she watched Luther's now cold body fall. She then turned and jumped out the window. Leaving Luther and her tears behind.
