Chandra hid out while she regained her strength. It's probably the smarter thing to do before I take revenge. I mean it'd kind of suck if I passed out and died in the process. She didn't begin her search until her strength had fully returned.
"Hello little one," a devil landed in front of her. Its voice was soft and raspy. Its black reflective eyes stared at her.
Chandra glared at it, "What do you want?"
"More like what do you want," It smiled at her revealing sharp jagged teeth.
Chandra's eyes narrowed, "Why do you care what I want?" She stormed past it, "Now leave me alone."
"You want revenge," the devil watched her as she walked away.
Chandra froze. What? How can that thing know?
"I know which organization you're after. I also know where some of their safe houses are."
Chandra turned back to it in shock, "You do?"
"Yes, yes I do." It nodded, "I also have the ability to locate their safe houses. Follow me."
Chandra hesitated. You know I haven't had a great past when it comes to following people. Of course then I could just use them long enough to get what I need and get out. Her eyes narrowed, "Okay." She followed the devil to a dark worn down mansion. The windows were blocked out or completely broken. There was no door and the roof was filled with holes. I'm going to have to be careful. I don't want to be used as a tool. I just want to get that one organization. They aren't going to be able to just point their fingers and watch me destroy their enemies. Chandra nodded.
"Hello."
She turned and saw a young woman with deep black hair. Her eyes were the same black as the devil. She wore a black jumpsuit. Chandra nodded, "Hey."
"You're certainly very down for a twelve year old girl."
"Oh well," Chandra shrugged.
"Well, in order to share the information we have you're going to have to join our organization."
Chandra's eyes narrowed, "Join?"
"We won't tie you down. You can range free. The only requirement is that you check in every once in a while."
Chandra growled, "I can do it on my own." She turned and began to leave.
"Very well."
Chandra growled and clenched her fists. I'm not getting stuck in some organization. I'll do this myself. No one's going to tie me down. She barely had time to duck an arrow that was flying towards her. She turned to see the arrow hit a knife that was flying through the air. I didn't even know that was there.
"That's low. If you're going to kill a girl just because she doesn't want a part of your game then at least let her defend herself."
"Like you can talk," Chandra muttered, "You're as old as I am."
"I know," the boy in front of her nodded. He smirked, "I'm actually a year older than you."
Chandra glared at him, "How do you know how old I am?"
"I was here the whole time. You're twelve," he shrugged.
"I'm a month and a half older than twelve," Chandra snapped.
"I'm still older than you," he smiled.
Chandra growled.
Another boy appeared, "We better go. They're surrounding the entire building while you two have been arguing."
"I can get out by myself thanks," Chandra glared at both boys.
"Just come on, we'll get away and then you can go from there." The second boy grabbed her wrist and dragged her along with them.
"I'm Hawk by the way," the boy with the bow said.
"I'm Falcon," he let go of her wrist but checked to make sure she was still with them.
"You were named after birds?" Chandra asked, "That's kind of lame."
"Those aren't our real names," Hawk chuckled.
"Okay what are your real names?" Chandra asked.
"Can't tell you that," Falcon shook his head.
Chandra's eyes narrowed, "Why not?"
"Because they're secret," Hawk shrugged.
Chandra rolled her eyes, "Whatever."
"Look out," Falcon pulled her to the side quickly.
Chandra stumbled but managed not to fall. I feel so useless. She watched Hawk shoot an arrow behind them.
"There're a lot more of them than we can handle," Falcon glanced over his shoulder.
Chandra smirked, "Nah, there aren't that many." Let's see if I can do this without burning the world to hell. She glanced at the two boys with her.
Hawk cocked his head to the side, "That's a lot."
Chandra shook her head, "Go find some rocks to hide behind or something." She slowed to a stop and turned around.
Falcon sighed, "Let's go. I really don't want a fight breaking out when we're supposed to be getting back."
Hawk sighed and followed. The two boys had sandy brown hair. Falcon has green eyes while Hawk's eyes are blue. They both wore black out fits decorated with pointless chains and buckles.
Chandra turned to face the group of seven people. Two had been downed by Hawk and were no longer chasing them. She concentrated on her feelings of rage until she felt a familiar burn in her veins. Her hair started to spark at the tips before lighting on fire completely. In a moment the entire area was wreathed in bright orange flame and smoke. She darted away from them to where Hawk and Falcon watched. They both stared at her with awestruck expressions. Chandra glared at them, "What? Are we leaving or are you going to wait for the flames to die and the smoke to clear?"
"Your hair's still on fire," Falcon pointed out.
"I don't care," Chandra snapped, "It doesn't hurt so it can stay on fire for all I care."
Hawk shrugged, "Let's go." The two boys led the way back.
Chandra sighed, "So why'd you come anyway?"
"We heard that Bloodcult's lead devil was following you," Falcon said.
"Whenever it follows someone they end up either joining Bloodcult of their own free will or they're killed and reanimated with their power intact," Hawk added.
"And none of the independence they used to have," Falcon added.
"I like my independence thank you," Chandra rolled her eyes, "Alright, so why are your names secret."
"We're assassins," Hawk shrugged.
Chandra cocked her head to the side, "And you saved me? That doesn't make any sense."
"We aren't part of your typical assassin's guild," Falcon sighed.
"Alright," Chandra sighed. That doesn't help me at all.
"We could take you," Hawk shrugged.
"You're seriously allowed to bring in just anyone?" Chandra asked, "Aren't assassin's guilds supposed to be secret?"
Falcon shrugged, "Star'll just wipe your memory."
"No one is touching my memory," Chandra snarled in sudden anger.
"Then you'll have to at least promise to keep your mouth shut," Hawk said.
Chandra sighed, "Or join your little guild obviously."
"Well yeah but you don't have to," Hawk shook his head.
Chandra rolled her eyes. Might as well get a look around. I mean these two aren't so bad.
"Hawk, Falcon, welcome back."
Chandra looked around, "Whoa, how'd we get here?"
"A portal," Falcon explained.
"It's a little complicated to explain," Hawk shrugged.
"It's like an extra dimensional space," Chandra looked at the woman in front of her. She looks like a human. Except the angel wings…and gold dragon wings and her eyes are creepy. Her hair was long and silver. Her golden eyes reflected light like metal.
"Who's this?" an elf dropped from the ceiling beside her.
"The one with four wings is Wyvern. She's Lily," Hawk whispered in her ear.
Chandra nodded.
"This is the girl Bloodcult was after," Falcon explained.
"I have a name you know," Chandra snapped.
"You didn't tell us it," Falcon kept his tone neutral.
"You didn't ask," Chandra crossed her arms over her chest.
"What's up with your shoulders?" Hawk asked, "They're all scarred."
Chandra shook her head, "Doesn't matter."
"Okay," Hawk nodded.
Lily's eyes were an extremely dark blue. The black and shadowy dragon's wings that spread from her back contrasted starkly with her fair skin and blond hair. Black scales covered parts of her skin including her neck, the sides of her stomach and her shoulders bleeding into her arms. Her clothes were cut to reveal these scales. Black horns extended from her cheekbones sloping up and back past the back of her head, "Well, welcome to the club."
"I don't want to join your guild," Chandra insisted grumpily.
"So?" Lily asked, "You're here and I'm welcoming you. You wouldn't be here if those two hadn't thought it was worth bringing you."
Chandra sighed, "Fine."
"Lighten up," Lily grabbed her hand and lifted off into the air.
Chandra squeaked in surprise before covering her mouth. That was awful. Why'd she have to do that? Lily flew through the center of a spiral stair case. "Where are we going?" Chandra asked.
"To meet Eclipse," Lily shrugged.
"Why?"
"Because you're here. It's his job to decide what's up with you."
"Oh great." Another person trying to stick their nose where it doesn't belong. Chandra rolled her eyes.
