Part 6
"I still can't believe Shadow let a *werewolf* into the group." Fortuna Wynette shook her head angrily. "And got her that stupid assassin job."
Annaliese Countessa glanced over at her friend, smirking a little at the girl's anger and jealousy over such a petty thing. She knew Fortuna had been gunning for the assassin job, working along side Shadow. Then some nameless human, bitten by a *puppy* had waltzed in and swept the job from under Fortuna's feet.
Annaliese herself was a witch, and really not to fussed on killing people for a living. She thought the whole thing was, well, petty. She knew Fortuna had dragged her down here, simply to have someone to whine to. "Why are we doing this again?" On top of her petty jealousy, Fortuna had apparently also come up with some zany scheme to get her own back on the new werewolf girl.
Fortuna shrugged. "The name of the game," she answered pushing her black and purple streaked bangs out her eyes, smiling, "is fox and founds. Once we get the pointless puppy out the way, there'll be a job opening."
"Can't you just find someone else to work for?" Annaliese sighed, glancing at her newly manicured blood-red nails. "It's not like these kinds of jobs are rarities in our - community." Her eyebrows rose meaningfully. She had better things to be doing than be stuck in a coffee shop with a bunch of humans and a jealous shapeshifter/witch half-breed, a small step up from a werewolf with that touch of witch blood from her father's side. "Shadow said so?" Fortuna asked hopefully.
Annaliese shook her head. "Not exactly, but you know what I mean."
Sitting in the coffee shop, the two girls looked like normal teenagers, maybe a little more pretty than most with their added bonus of Night World beauty. No one would guess they were plotting the murder of a werewolf.
"I think I need to add that bitch to the list too," Fortuna grumbled, scowling.
"Shadow too?" Annaliese's eyes rolled. "You're crazy. Who have you sent after Meegan?"
"At the moment Marlon Blackthorn is tailing her. So far I know the best is to go on the offensive," Fortuna said smugly, "and the way to do that which never fails is usually through the use of a hot guy."
Annaliese snorted. "Please. That's like, so old and *done*. The girl has a twin sister. A *human* twin at that who doesn't know." Maybe that was another reason Fortunate hated Meegan so much, Meegan had a family who loved her, and Fortuna didn't have anyone. She didn't make the comment out loud.
Fortuna's eyebrows arched, though her violet eyes had flared with anger. "Yeah, and?"
Annaliese's eyes rolled again. "Read between the lines, dumbass."
Fortuna stared at her blankly for a moment, sipping coffee from a green mug. "Oh." She smiled cruelly. "I'll think about it."
