TO EVERYONE WHO HAS LEFT ME REVIEWS THIS CHAPTER IS FOR YOU! ^^ enjoy!

Standing outside the door that I swore I'd never return back too, I found myself remembering who I was just about to see. I knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A female voice asked.
"Open up." The door opened quickly. I looked into the face of a woman around my age, with long brown hair. I had come across this woman four years ago, and at that instant she was not my friend. "Sis."
"Nikki, it's a pleasure to see you." Her voice dripped of sarcasm. She crossed her arms in front of her as she looked me up and down. "Outfit hasn't changed.you ditched the trench coat though I see." I closed my eyes. "Why are you here?"
"I was in town-"
"On assignment?"
"You could say that.I need your help." I choked out. She nodded and moved out of the door way. I walked into her home for the first time in two years. Kara was my twin. Separated at birth, she went to Trabia Garden until four years ago. That's how they meet.
"Have seat, would you like some coffee? Tea?"
Taking a seat I looked up at her. "No, I wish not to take any of your beverages."
"You are always like this! I'm tired of this! Every time I've seen you, you are always so monotonic, like you don't care for anything!" I jumped a little when she slammed a glass on the table making it shatter. "Don't you feel anything?! Show some damn emotion some time!!" I looked down at the broken glass on the table. Slowly I picked up one of the larger pieces and looked at it in my hand. I ran my index finger along the side of the glass. Kara watched as I pulled my finger away slowly; blood dripped from my finger. "Why did you do that?" She asked carefully.
"I.I don't know.I didn't feel it.I didn't feel it!" I slammed my hand on the table. I was cold all over; I realized that I was always cold. "I don't feel anything Kara. What have I become?" I picked my feet up and pulled them to me, placing my head on my knees I did something that I hadn't done since I was 12. I started to cry.
"Nikki?" I felt Kara place her hands on me, trying to comfort me. "Stop crying, Nikki.what's wrong?" Picking my head up, I could barely make out Kara's slim form. Kara wiped some of my tears away. "What's wrong? You are never upset.is this about your assignment?"
I nodded slowly. "I've been hired to kill Seifer Almasy."
"The ex-knight?" I nodded. "Well, that's a big job." Kara stood up rubbing her hands together. "Why is this tearing you apart sis?"
She was right, this was tearing me apart. "I'm suppose to be killing him out of the fact that he has killed five people since Time Compression."
"Oh dear, that's horrible! Five people!"
"But something inside me is telling me that he didn't do it! I've known him for a week and a half.and I don't think he kill those five people."
"Did he tell you he didn't kill them?" Kara asked.
"He told me that he hasn't killed anyone since Time Compression." Ok so I was adlibbing part of that.
"Listen to me, and listen well. Don't kill him because of those five people." I raised my eyebrow. "Kill him because he killed so many other people." I looked down at my feet. Oh, Kara, I can't. I was thinking inside my mind. "Wait, a minute. I think I know what's going on." I looked back up at her and she was smiling. "You like him don't you?"
I stood up. "WHAT! How dare you accuse me of liking such a heartless man?" He wasn't heartless, I knew that.
"You're right.you wouldn't like him." Kara walked over to the sink and filled another glass with water. "But you'd love him." I looked over at her; the tears were still dancing in my eyes.
After a few moments of silence I spoke. "I would." She turned around to look at me. Her expression was stone, very serious.
"I can't tell you something that you're heart already knows, Nikki. It's your choice, kill him, or love him and loose your job.it's up to you. When do you have to have this done by?"
"Two days."
"Well, rest here tonight, tomorrow think about it, and then go back to your hotel room, think about it some more. Then don't look back." I nodded standing up. She was taller then me, but not by much. "You know where the extra bedroom is." As I turned to walk away I stopped and turned to her.
"Kara? Thanks.for everything." She smiled. "No problem Nikki." As I found myself in an extra bed room, I didn't even take off my shoes. I fell onto the bed and slipped into a dreamless sleep.
-- TWO DAYS LATER (AN: I'm cheap and don't wanna write about another day. So
sue me ^^)
"Think about it some more.then don't look back." Kara's words echoed in my mind as I sat in my hotel room. I had to decide quickly. I was meeting Seifer in two hours in his room. I buttoned my jeans silently, after I pulled my red shirt over my head. "Hair, in pony tail." It was a routine. I found myself a few years ago, when I was in the final faze of a job, I'd wear jeans, and I'd keep my hair in a pony tail. It was my routine. I placed two daggers in my boots, each. Two around my waist; my gun went straight to my back pocket, locked and loaded. And finally another knife in a back holster.
Taking a deep breath I pulled my gun out and looked it over. 'Don't cock it if you're not gonna shoot it.' Placing it back into my pocket I walked out my door, I wasn't going to look back, nor was I going to think twice.
AN: what did she pick? Is she only fooling herself? Does she really love Seifer? Or is her heart in her job?
