Marissa Sanborn

In the Arm's of an Assassin

CHAPTER 2
THE HIDEOUT

Elizabeth…
"Whoa, Marissa didn't realize you were that kind of person." she stepped into the moonlit platform as I stepped back.
"W-what are you doing here?" Josh stepped in front of me and I pushed him back. This is my battle, my fight, I touched him and teleported him back to the others at camp.
"Your on my turf, my time and you just ruined my moment!" I was beyond pissed at this moment, she ruined my night, my personal time with Josh no way was I going to forgive her.
"What a way to welcome and old friend!"
I could feel her mocking me with every word that came out of her mouth, though her words I could feel like venom in my veins.
"Your not welcome here Elizabeth, leave now…" I could hear my self repeating my self over and over again.
"I have done no harm to you or your kind~ people." my blood starting to boil, and it was her fault and I could figure why.
"I hope you recognize this.." my jaw dropped open knowing what she meant, The apple glowed in her hands and I had the right to be scared , It was the crown jewel of everything our existence was based off of. The Apple of Eden, the most powerful artifact in all of human generation, a beautiful piece of history yet powerful enough to destroy anything…
" Whe- ere did you get that?"
I was probably screaming loud enough the entire island could hear me. "I have sources and my ways to attain it" I could only be thinking this was the end of everything I once knew, either that or I was just plain dreaming, but I could be I mean that moment with Josh seemed to last forever it was to perfect , so this maybe was also a dream.
"It doesn't belong to you , or your kind it belongs with the assassins or hidden away to history…" I started to cool off and relax , I could tell she was only threatening me.
"Yea, I know."
She started to pace around me , so calm and so concealed. How she did it was intriguing I wanted to take her out then and their , but many times before have I have been warned and known to take things to fast, so I just relaxed. I waited patiently for her to turn her back, the minute she did I could feel blood pooling around me, and it wasn't uncommon. Hell everywhere I went somebody's blood was spilt, weather it was from my hand/paw or from my friends. Just I had the habit of getting my self into sticky situations, where somebody would end up getting killed, I was born to prevent it but yet it continues to happen , BECAUSE OF ME! I stood up and realized it wasn't her blood I was standing in , it was mine… I stopped for a second to understand what the hell just happen. I was in pain, no , I was in agony . The blade was poisoned for a reason , I turned to her , she was already laughing as I was bleeding slowly. Quickly healing the wound I drew my staff , still limited to what I could do and what I wasn't able to do. By the time I had turned to see her , she was already gone. I shook it off and wrapped my wounds in bandage, keeping them from opening again. I walked back to the main center of the islands, I would have teleported but I needed time to think and comprehend what the hell had just happen.
"Guys?"
Joseph walked up to me with sadness in his eyes, I Knew what it meant and I felt shitty for that reason. "I'm sorry Wise…It Couldn't have waited."
Joseph mumbled as he walked away from me.
"Dammit!"
I looked around and saw, Josh was already gone. The hunt had finally begun.
