Authors note whatsit: You guys should try to read a poem called the Chaos out loud, it's about english pronunciation...and it hates me. :( Good luck on all assignments, homework, crushes, siblings etc etc...By the way, does anyone know why eleven isn't pronounced onety-one?
"Excuse me?" Raven asked her voice dangerous, Toby stared at her and blinked.
"You're not going to kill me," he said.
Raven raised an eyebrow, "Really? Why Not?"
"Because if I die in this centre then it goes into automatic lockdown mode and the only other person who can open it will not do it for you..."
Everyone looked confused, except for Wing, "I suppose this other person is Julia then?" asked Wing.
"What? I heard my name," Julia was standing in the doorway, looking at them, she turned her gaze to Toby, "Toby what did you tell them this time?"
Toby squirmed, "To be fair, she did say about something like this as in someone almost dying, she didn't say anything about the council..."
Julia sighed, "Sometimes I wish I'd let them kill you...what I actually told him to tell you was that the councils next meeting is in 3 days and if you learn how not to annoy them you can go."
As she walked out of the room she muttered, "And that is going to take a lot of work..."
Unsurprisingly Toby had disappeared. They filled Otto in on what had happened since he passed out.
"Wow," Otto finally had a chance to say, "So you," looking at Raven nad Dimitri, "Think that she might have been trained at the hidden part of the records building?" They nodded.
"What did she mean by sometimes wishing she had let them kill Toby?" Shelby suddenly asked, "And about learning how not to annoy the council is going to take a lot of work?"
Everyone looked confused, "I don't know and I have the feeling that they aren't going to tell us." Dimitri replied, "And about the council thing, that I can explain and a bit more about Julia as well."
Everyone stared at him in shock.
"I was put in the Academy, they have a lot of gossip there. Actually I now teach self-defence there. I get to tell a bunch of mostly spoilt brats how to defend themselves."
"Tell us everything you know about them..." Otto suddenly said.
Dimitri nodded, I don't know a lot about them only what I have heard through gossip and that isn't entirely reliable. Julia began officially working for the council eight years ago but there are a lot of rumors that she was working unofficially for them up to eleven years ago."
"We can fill you in a bit more there," Dameon interrupted indicating himself and Marcus, he shrugged, "She is my cousin after all..."
"Wait," Raven said, "You mean Furan had a daughter?"
Dameon shook his head, "No, but he did have two sisters. Anastasia who you know, and Dominika, who trust me you don't want to know. Nobody really knows who is part of the council, Julias father Conrad, is a member. So is her Mother and our Grandfather, Dominic. I have only met my Aunt a couple of times, the first time I was about 7, Julia was 5. Our parents were argueing about something, I don't know what."
Dameon paused and marcus jumped in, "We know she was working for the council then because Dameon touched her first knife,and she broke his arm..."
"Wait," Shelby interrupted, "Her first knife?"
"Yep," Marcus continued, "Council assasins get knifes, the more knifes you have the better the assasin..and the more the demand for you."
Before anyone could ask for some more information Dameon continued, "Julia got her first knife when she completed her first job for the council. She is now up to her fifth. That means that she has completed over 1500 jobs for the council..."
