Part 10
Ashael smiled as she sauntered into Hunter's mansion, Dusk Harman at her side. She hadn't really had the chance to show Dusk anything of what she wanted yet. No killing or anything fun. She had to do her job and report to Hunter.
Hunter was surprisingly pleased with her. As far as Ashael was concerned, he'd always favoured Evangeline. "So she's happy to join us?" Hunter asked.
Ashael nodded. "Providing I teach her certain things. She wants to know how to be an assassin."
"Good. Very good. Teach her all she needs to know, at extra pay, of course." Hunter's hawk-like eyes were gleaming.
Ashael was suspicious. Why was Dusk Harman so important? She liked the girl, sure, but how come the sudden need to find this particular lost witch? Or not so lost. Dusk was well aware of who she was. It just made Ashael slightly more suspicious.
"All it is, is I'm rather bored of these idiotic Daybreakers getting all the Harmans. They already have the last three, Thea, Blaise and Gillian. Now *we* can have Dusk. And I don't see you objecting to that?"
Ashael found herself actually agreeing with Hunter. And for once *understanding* what he was trying to get at.
"No. I don't object at all."
Dusk was waiting for her outside. Killing and sex...what could be more fun? Have someone like herself...
"And what do I tell her? She's waiting for me outside. Can I keep her?" Ashael realised she sounded too hopeful, but she didn't care. She hadn't been presented with an opportunity like this...like...ever.
"Tell her...if she wants to work as an assassin for me that's fine. Now what about the brother?"
Ashael frowned. She had been mainly focusing on Dusk. She hadn't thought about the brother yet. "I'll ask her," she said thoughtfully. "Maybe it'll be the ultimate test for her to see if she's really one of us by killing him."
Hunter looked mildly interested. He hadn't thought of this himself. And he was obviously impressed that she'd thought of it before him. Ashael was even more surprised to discover that it gave her a happy.
"That's...a very good idea. See she does just that. And as always - "
"My cheque will be in my account by the end of the week," Ashael finished. "I get the point. I'll talk to her."
She stood up and left the office. She wasn't sure how Dusk would feel about killing her own brother, but if Dusk wanted to be bad, then this was her chance to prove herself. Ashael remembered her own first assignment, how nervous she'd been that something was going to go wrong, that she'd mess up, that Evangeline would be hurt.
Dusk didn't have anyone like that, as far as she was concerned. Dusk was waiting for her, as she'd promised. To her surprise Dusk pulled Ashael into her arms and kissed her deeply.
"Wow...I've never...I mean..." Dusk was stammering. It was clearly the first time she'd ever made out with another girl.
Ashael found herself laughing. "It gets easier. Trust me in that one."
"So what'd Hunter say?"
"New job. Actually, not all that new for me, but new for you."
Dusk looked interested. "Who've I got to kill?"
Ashael realised as they'd left the building she'd never asked Hunter what to do about David. Hunter had never said what to do about him. David was really going to hate her for this. Teaching his sister how to be a killer...and a lesbian. Boy, he was *really* going to despise her.
But, what was he going to do about it?
"Well, do you remember your brother Zach?" Ashael asked, her arm around Dusk's shoulder, her fingers running through the girl's fine blonde hair.
Dusk nodded. "Sure. Never really liked him much. Or the other three for that matter."
Ashael tried not to smirk. This was almost going too good for her. Which seemed to say that underneath there was some sort of catch.
"Hunter wants you to kill him."

A/N: I just realised I messed up chapters 6 and 7. Chapter 6 has been reuploaded with the correct chapter in.
