Author's Notes: I apologize for this short chapter. This is part of the development. Really really sorry! knocks self on head
"Because… I… Seek… Death…" Was the girl's answer.
Shocked to hear this, the young Assassin could not help but to stare at the girl as she closed her eyes and raised her head once more. She was awaiting her time of death. The young Assassin felt disgusted by this, withdraw his katars and slapped the girl across the face. The girl held her cheek in pain.
"You're pathetic! Why do you seek death so easily?" the young Assassin raised his voice at her.
"Because… It's unbearable… My life is so unbearable…"
"What's so unbearable about your life?" the young Assassin was clearly annoyed by her answer.
"Father does not love me anymore… I feel so… Lonely…"
The young Assassin who had just about enough, raised his hand to slap her again but restrained himself. He lowered his hand and spoke to her.
"What's your name, girl?"
"Sarah..." The girl replied.
"Life is never easy. You should treasure it…"
What the young Assassin surprised Sarah but he was more surprised with himself for saying that.
"That's easy for you to say… You're an Assassin. You take lives…" Sarah spoke.
"You're interesting you know that? Very interesting…"
"I do not get you…"
"Rarely have I spoken to people that I try to kill. Let alone seen one that seeks death so easily." There was a tinge of interest in his voice.
"Speak no more… Kill me now… I do not want to suffer anymore…" Sarah started again.
"I will just do the opposite and not kill you." The young Assassin replied quickly.
"Are you mocking me?"
"No, I'm just trying to show you why you should not seek death so easily."
"You're just going to kill me when you're done anyways. Why not just do it now?"
"I will not kill you. I give you my word." The young Assassin promised her. Sarah opened her eyes wide and stared at the Assassin. What he just said had surprised her greatly and was about to continue asking him questions when a voice was heard from outside.
"Miss Sarah? Is there someone else in the room?"
"No… It's just your imagination." Sarah replied the voice.
"Are you sure? I'm just coming in to check."
Sarah instantly noticed that the voice belong to her maid. She quickly stood up and told the young Assassin that he must leave the room or else he would be discovered.
"I will be back tomorrow night. I will not kill you. I promise." Were the Assassin's last words before he left the room. Sarah turned back just in time to see her maid open the door.
"Is everything all right?"
"Yes."
"Do tell me if there's anything wrong. Have an early night, Miss."
"Yes, you too."
With that, the maid left the room. Sarah turned and looked out of the window, into the night sky. "Who is that man? Why doesn't he kill me?" Thoughts like these ran through her mind but she stopped herself from thinking too much as the Assassin would visit her again. Probably…
The Assassin leaped from roof to roof again into the night. "She's an interesting one. I will see her again tomorrow night." Were his final thoughts before he disappeared into the night. It was very clear that the young Assassin has taken interest in Sarah…
