Chapter 2- Expect the Unexpected

Scarlet's Point of View

It has been fifteen minutes since I left the mansion. I am walking without any destination because apparently Phinks takes more time than I think to just simply text me my task. I end up in a park and it's already night time. It was snowy since it is still January. I sit on a swing while holding my phone, waiting for a simple text message, and enjoying the snow as well as the peaceful scenery.

Then I have a sudden flashback to what happened in the mansion.

After I finished killing all the armed bodyguards, I went to the grand room. I expect a frightened man begging for forgiveness. Well I guessed that sometimes you just had to expect the unexpected as well. In the wide room, I saw a man, the target that I needed to kill, bowing down towards a cross with a girl and a teenage boy next to him in the same gesture. They were praying with deep conviction, so I patiently waited for them to finished praying.

When they finished, the man approached me. I sensed no fear in him, as if he was ready to die.

"Please spare my children…," said the man worriedly.

"Sorry sir but I am afraid I could not spare any witness," I said gently. Truthfully, I would love to spare his children, but Feitan's order (my group leader for the moment) clearly said no witness.

Then I sighed and said, "The least I could do is to make it a quick painless death…" and he nodded. I killed him in an instant by cutting his head off. Then I went to the children, the older brother was covering his little sister's eyes. I could feel his blue-eyes were staring at me, full of wrath. Without hesitation, I killed them both, in the same way as their father died. Then I closed their dead glaring eyes full of hatred towards me. That was the moment that I started to feel guilty. Guilty for taking their lives, guilty for not helping them at all, and mostly guilty for not hesitating at all. But there was nothing I could do, what was done is done. They were dead and it was my entire fault.

I go back to reality and notice that cold tears are running down on my face, making it wet. I wipe my tears and suddenly a mysterious teenage boy who is about my age approaches me and sits on the swing next to mine. He is wearing a fake black leather jacket with white t-shirt underneath the jacket. I can tell that he is strong because I can sense his intimidating powerful nen from just a few meters away.

"You okay?" he asks.

"Yeah," I reply.

"I cannot believe that a member of the spider just cried in front of me," he says with a quite surprised expression.

"You are a black list hunter?" I ask, ignoring his irritating previous statement.

"Yeah, and I am about to capture you until you cried," he says.

Then a long awkward silence appears before he suddenly says, "You are the least heartless assassin I ever meet and believe me I have seen a lot of assassin."

I am shocked! It is the most touching insult I ever heard of, well at least for an assassin it is an insult. "Thanks," I reply nervously.

Then suddenly my phone rings. I feel a slight relief and quickly open the text message I receive.

From : Feitan

Idiot Phinks broke phone after you hang up. Your task:

Steal two artifact, museum ancient artifact, south city.

Two artifact, jade crystal and spiral moon sword.

Good luck! Rip nails and break leg!

I giggle when I read Feitan's message, even in his text message, his English is still Feitan's style! After a few minute giggling like a crazy person, I stand up and he instantly asks, "Where are you going?"

"Why would I tell you?" I said and left the park.

I switch on my tech-heelys shoe, a gift from Shalnark and skate my way to the museum. Then in a few minutes I arrive on the enterance of the museum. It is closed. 'Whew thank god it is closed… that means I will not kill a lot of people,' I say in my mind. That is when I think that things will not get cruel this time. But again I forget the most important thing, my lesson of the day, expect the unexpected.


Guess what… it's much longer than last time and I typed it in my phone again! Hehe.. but it's still considered short though… and I am still working on my writing skill (I take English lesson … well I hope it'll help out) … anyways.. What do you think of this chapter? Oh and yes the teenage boy (the one in the park) is my other random OC that you'll see in Chapter 3 ^^ hehe I think I still need some research about Feitan's grammar style (I don't think I got it right -.-)and i wish the tech-heelys shoe is real! i'll buy it right away!

Good news: I am starting to get used to writing narrative ^^ and I hope I'll improve again in the future!

Well … thanks for reading and reviewing … feel free to criticize and give some opinion ^^ (which I really need) and if you think the story is horrible … please let me know… I'll either stop writing the story or improve the next chapter!

Scarlet- Thanks for reading everyone! And reviewing too and thanks for those who add this story to their favorites!
