Chapter 7

An evening with a Warrior.

(Bloodrayn P.O.V.)

I sat in the vehicle that moved. I watched Lola as she looked at the mirror's once and a while but looked in front of her. I looked at a button and pushed it making the window go down. I looked at it surprised then made it go back up. That was interesting but I could hear the gears so it was some sort of machine I'm wager. This whole thing was a machine.

I leaned back looking at the night around me. I sighed remembering the star I was born under. I looked out into the night. I saw houses which were dark inside. That could be where I start but I needed to contact the pawn shops and see if they would accept the goods I got no questions asked.

We pulled into the parking lot of one of the houses. Lola turned to me.

"Listen until you get yourself set up you can stay here."

I smiled "Thank you."

She smiled back "That's alright."

We climbed out. I grabbed my things from the trunk and headed inside. Lola had already opened the door and turned on a few of the lights. I shut the door and set my things down. She came out into the living room.

"There's a guest bedroom in the back across from my own. Feel free to make yourself at home here for the night."

I sat down on the couch and began unrolling the bedroll. I took out my alchemist items and journal writing down each potion I had made and each fact about the ingredients that I had gathered. I picked up my blades checking each of them carefully.

"What are these?"

I turned to Lola as she leaned in close. She picked up the Blade of Woe looking at it carefully.

"Never saw a dagger like this."

I looked at it then smiled "Trust me seeing that either means you've joined the group or,."

I stopped. I turned looking at my items. She set down the blade of Woe.

"What? Come on tell me."

I looked at her then the blade "The group that makes the blade you were holding. They are a guild of assassins where I come from. I was approached by them because of something I did."

She looked at me carefully "Which was?"

I sighed picking up a blade "Where I come from things aren't black and white. I accidently killed an innocent man because of a confrontation. I was fighting a scamp to shut a Gate to Oblivion and accident hit him. He immediately turned around and wouldn't accept my apology. I had to end it fast and shut the gate. Ever sent that incident I worked for the guild. I always gave the most painless deaths of the group I believe. At least I hoped it was. Just faded away after a while. It was so I'd have money in my pocket always."

She set the blade back down "Well I guess that doesn't change anything now. But when you did these things how did you do go about doing it?"

I looked at her then pointed to the weapons "Pick one and it probably ended life after life the second it came into my hands. I was a gladiator the Grand Champion. Fools came hoping to win only to be cut down instantly. Those that were smart worked hard and still tried but I was always changing my tactics making it harder than the Gray Prince. Some tried lying so I would go down like him but I never did for even a second."

I sighed picking up a journal of my quests. I opened it up looking at it for a moment shaking my head before I set it back down.

I leaned back on the couch. She looked at me carefully.

"I'll be getting changed alright in case you're wondering."

She got up and left. I rolled up my stuff and went to her kitchen looking at the space. I went to my own pack and began taking out bread cheese and venison. I began cutting it up until I made a sandwich which I promptly ate.

When she came out I looked at her carefully. She wore a white sleeveless shirt with some of her stomach visible and shorts that stopped on the upper thigh. She walked up and looked at the food. She sniffed the cheese and bread. She turned to me.

"Where did you get this?"

"A market from home. Fresh today."

She looked at the half of my sandwich "Mind if I?"

"Go ahead. Only fair."

She took a bite of my sandwich. Both of us remained silent. She heard a knocking after a while and scowled.

"Who could that be?"

She walked over to the door while I silently moved out of the way so they wouldn't see me around. A large guy looked at her.

"Excuse me Ms. Bunny. I'm just coming around the neighborhood warning people about some criminals around stealing stuff. We believe they may come here after you sent you have been getting closer to Bugs Bunny."

"Rocky and Mugsy?"

The man nodded. I held my blade in my hand watching them carefully. I raised my hand already feeling the power rising in the tips of my fingers.

"They broke out of prison and somebodies been robbing houses. People are struggling because of them. But you appear to be doing alright."

"Yes I am. Would you care to come in?"

Say no say no say no!

"Wouldn't mind it Miss."

I rolled my eyes as he walked in. I focused turning invisible. I watched them as they came to the kitchen. I went silently toward them using my skills as a member of the Thieves Guild which had been sharpened after years of practice sneaking into places and stealing from people.

The man looked at the fabric covering my items.

"What are those?"

He walked toward it.

"Oh those are from a friend. He sent them here for me to watch for a while."

He remove the fabric revealing everything I had. He looked at them surprised. He picked up my silver bow which immediately made me want to rip him to shreds.

"Is this made of actual silver?"

Lola came up taking it from him gently "Yes but my friend wants them not to be touched too much. Their very valuable."

The man smiled slightly "Well I'll take my leave of you miss."

He walked away and knocked one bag over spilling out the golden coins inside. His eyes along with Lola's widened as they saw the thousand pure gold coins spill out. I moved up silently as he went to touch the gold.

"Listen you had better leave here right now." Lola said "I'll have to clean it up and polish those now. I'm going to be needing the sleep as well."

The man nodded "Just remember to keep an eye out for those two."

"I will."

The man walked out of the house eying my money before shutting the door. I reappeared and began picking up my coins.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a fortune on you!"

"It's only a thousand gold coins."

"Do you know how much that's worth if they are pure gold?"

"A thousand gold coins."

"Possible ten million dollars or more with those kinds of designs on them! You could be flipping rich with those!"

I picked up one and sighed "There are more than a thousand coins on me. I have close to three thousand. Two more bags of the stuff."

She seemed to look at me like I was crazy. I rolled it up leaving out the bedroll. I walked out of the room heading to the guest room. I laid down near the back of the door laying on the bedroll.

I heard her click off the lights before shutting the door to her room. I leaned back closing my eyes. I hope this night would be restful.

I heard the front door creak open and immediately shot up from where I was. I was in my assassin guild armor. I focused and looked around using my night vision. I rose up and began moving slowly. I looked out my door and saw a large man with a burette on his head and a short man with a ridiculously big hat on his head and a nice suit. They were looking around carefully.

What they were looking for they wouldn't find.

"Where could that dame had hidden the loot!"

"Eh I don't know boss."

"Shut up."

I heard a slap but I didn't know who slapped whom.

"Mugsy get the dame up and make her tell us where the loot us."

I immediately shouldered my sack and ducked back as he came walking back toward Lola's room. He opened the door to Lola's room and grabbed her.

I heard her scream and drew the blade of Woe. I steeled myself looking at Mugsy. I looked at him confused then smiled slightly.

The big one was the one that was being told what to do.

Lola tried to scream but she was unable to thanks to the big thug's hands held over her mouth.

I sighed shaking my head as she was dragged out into the living room.

Gangsters and Assassins never mixed well.
