Art of the Assassination

Chapter 1 THE DEAL

In Victors house the hybrid Marcus is sitting in his armchair discussing business with a tall figure dressed in black with a full-length black jacket on.

"So let me get this straight your willing to pay me two million dollars to hunt and kill the hybrid Michael and the renegade death dealer Selene for you" says the figure dressed in black

"Exactly we vampires have much money and weapons and so we thought we could use your special talents in the art of war and assassination" replies Marcus

"Hhhmmm" says the tall figure as he paces the room thinking

All the other vampires of the household were waiting outside anxious to hear more about this stranger that Marcus wanted to hire, because in the resent months they had been severely loosing the war. Because the lycans under the guidance of Selene and Michael were becoming more tactical and they had learned through Selene of what the vampire attack plans and tactics were and now they were much harder to track down and kill.

"Scuse me, comin through move aside" said a young twenty year old looking vampire with blonde hair who wore a white figure hugging leather pants a white leather top and white boots, she had two holsters on her thighs with a pistol in each, she made her way through the crowd of people to get to the front near the door. 'I wonder who the new guy Marcus is talking to, he sure is hot' she thought.

"Hey Celestine" shouted another vampire Celestine spun around and saw the one person she didn't want to see...Craven (yeah I know he went into hiding but on mine he's back and no one knows he was evil)

"What do you want Craven "said Celestine through gritted teeth she really didn't like Craven ever since that combat practice when she kicked his ass and he had got revenge by locking her out of the house for a week.

"Just wanted to see how you were after your squad of reapers (reapers are the new and improved death dealers) got their asses kicked by the lycans.

"Were just fine thank you very much, but how is your squad? I heard you were ambushed and only you and a few others survived by running for your lives" said Celestine smiling evilly showing her white fangs as she saw that Craven was uneasy "who told you that" he snapped

"News travels quickly Craven remember that" said Celestine with a smile on her face, she put her ear close to the door focusing her vampire senses to here what was being said.

Back inside the room Marcus is sitting in his armchair with the mysterious stranger pacing as he thought. "Would you like a drink" asked Marcus moving over to the mini bar in the corner "yes thanks" replied the stranger "what would you like" asked Marcus "just some whiskey please" replied the stranger. Marcus poured the drinks handed one to the stranger and sat back down in his armchair "so have you decided if you will take the offer" asked Marcus in a serious tone.

"Yes I have decided to take the offer, " replies the stranger. "Excellent" says Marcus in a happy tone "but before you go I have two questions" says Marcus in a curiously "yes what are they" says the stranger" firstly what is your name" asks Marcus "ahh" says the stranger obviously expecting to be asked that "my name is Fang, so what is your next question" replies Fang. "Why do you hunt your own kind I can tell by your smell that you're a Lycan" asks Marcus.

"Well I hate Lycans because they killed my whole family, I survived with only a bite on my chest. But I didn't realize until the full moon that it was a Lycan that attacked us. I was in a mental rehab center for traumatized people when it happened the first time. Twenty-three people died that night all by my own hand, then I started running I stole some cloths and robbed people to survive, using my Lycan powers to get away from the authority. When I finally learned of were a group Lycans were hiding, I traced them down and slaughtered them all, to watch there blood spraying from there body were I had cut off here limbs with my sword I had stolen and to hear the screams of the women and children as I slaughtered them all mercilessly that was what satisfied my hunger for revenge. After the deed was done and the blood of all the Lycans in that nest flowed like rivers and my hands and cloths were stained with blood I took a blood oath and took the name Fang.

I had hunted and killed as many as I could for two years and then I heard of this war and of the hybrid, then you came calling.

With that Fang turned to the door and opened it and in fell Celestine but he caught her as she fell. "Better be more careful" said Fang he let her go and left the room. "You can stay here if you want to" said Marcus "thank you I would like that its been a while since I've slept in a house before but I haven't packed to stay" replied Silver Fang "I have taken the liberty of sending some people over to get you things they are waiting at the stairs for you, now Celestine" said Marcus Celestine looked at him "show our new guest to his room". "Certainly sir" replied Celestine with a bow and gestured to Silver fang to follow her and they both left the room Fang picked up his luggage from the stairs and they started to climb them.

"The guest room is on the third floor, the armory is in the basement under the house, the dining room is located on the first floor along with the lounge room and common area, the Tomb of the Elders (its that place were Marcus and Victor sleep you know that big metal looking room) is located on the second level basement only authorized personal are aloud there, the dormitories are located on the third floor near the guest room, you probably wont see any one there because we sleep during the day" said Celestine as she pointed everything out as they went.

"Were do you sleep" asked Fang "down the hall from your room" replied Celestine obviously uncomfortable at the question. They arrived at the guest room, it was large with a king sized double bed on one end, a single window on one wall, a desk and a wall rope, it had what looked like a very expensive carpet on one side of the bed, there was a door in the far corner that obviously led to the bathroom.

"This is were your going to sleep" asked Celestine "thank you very much" replied fang as he placed his luggage on his bed and a large case on the desk. "What's in the case" asked Celestine "something that is for me to know" said Fang with an unfriendly bite in his voice as he placed a briefcase next to it "what's in that one" asked Celestine expecting not to be told "I'm not going to tell you just yet" replied Fang friendlily

"We if that's every thing good night mister Fang you've had a long night" said Celestine as she moved to the door she left after closing the door behind her Fang lay on his bed and thought to himself "I wonder if this will work out well".
