"Where were you? We've been trying to get a hold of you for the past three hours!" I could feel Squall about to lecture me.
"I was out." I stated. I wasn't about to tell them that I was in Seifer's room all night, if you know what I mean.
"We were worried. We thought Seifer might have killed you."
I felt flames burst in my eyes. "NO! Seifer wouldn't do that!" I cursed myself for doing that.
"What did you say?" Zell spoke up.
"Nothing, nevermind." Damnit, Damnit!
"We're moving you're schedule up." I raised my eyebrow in question.
"How far up?"
"By the end of the week." Zell whispered almost inaudible.
"WHAT!" I screamed. "You can't do that!! The end of the week is in two days!!"
"We can, and we are. He must be dead I in two days, that gives you a day to get ready. This is final." The screen went black.
"Shit.my luck eh?" I slammed my head on my pillow. I was upset because they were only giving me two days.or was I upset because.because I might have feelings for Seifer. "That's stupid. Remember don't get attached to your target, Nikki! REMEMBER!" She curled up into a ball. "Rule number one don't get close to your employer, number two don't get attached to you're target. Rule three.don't cock it if you're not gonna fire it. Rule Four don't depend on anyone. Rule five don't cry.for heaven's sake don't cry." My shell was crumbling. "Rule six you're on your own. Rule Seven emotions don't belong anywhere." I closed my eyes to stop the tears from falling.I was slipping into another dream.

~*~I will not fail, I will not fail. She whispered softly to herself. It was a dark and musky night in Dollet. The air smelled of salt water, and a thirteen year old girl wearing a long black trench coat was leaning against a brick wall. The wind blew it around her as she waited quietly in the shadows of a building. "He has to be leaving soon." She played with two coins in her fingers. "How much am I getting paid again? To lean against this damn wall and do nothing?" She took in a deep breath but quickly held it when she heard a door open. Letting it out carefully she pulled out her stiletto dagger. A quick and easy kill. She watched the man walk past the alley in which she was in.
"Now or never." She pushed herself of the wall with the ball of her feet. Her knee high boots clicked quickly along the payment. She had to catch up with the long haired man. His long blonde hair weaved through the night sky. She was carelessly on his heels now. 'I will not fail.' She was not sure why this man had to die, but she knew that she was being paid for this man's spilled blood. And she was not about to fail.
Once she reached him she pulled out the stiletto dagger and grabbed his shoulder. "Clean, easy, stab in the heart." The man turned around, and she was face to face with Seifer.
"Nikki?" Nikki's stiletto stabbed him through the heart. "Nikki."~*~

"NO!" I raised my head sharply breathing heavily. "No, no!" I grabbed my head. "It was just a dream.I didn't kill Seifer." I felt myself stop breathing for a moment as I said my next words. "But I'm going to have too." I stood up and grabbed my jacket and wrapped it around my body as I exited my room only to find myself at Seifer's door. Before I could even knock Seifer had it opened. He looked like he was going somewhere.
"What's wrong Nikki?" Seifer asked pulling at the collar of his trench coat. "Are you ok?" Before I could stop myself, I jumped on him, hugging him tightly. I had to do this; I knew what I had to do. I placed my feet back on the ground and pulled away.
"Seifer, I'm going to come back here in two days. Will you be here?"
Seifer raised his eyebrow and nodded. "Of course I'll be here."
"Good.goodbye until then." With that I ran back down the hall to the stairs. I ran with all my might down them. I had to get out of there. I was an assassin without my weapons. I was fearless at the moment, and I had only thing on my mind. But I had to talk to someone before I did anything.

Where is Nikki going? What will she decide? Is her job more important? Is she breaking?
