Sophia's (Jordan) and Agrippina's (Mimi) assassination attempt on Caligula.

I know many of you are not Mimi/Jack fans and neither am I but in past lives they were together, so their relationship is mentioned.

I never know how to begin a story, but hopefully this is okay.

Disclaimer: I do not own Blue Bloods or any of the characters.

Hell's Assassin

Agrippina's (Mimi) POV

Fortune favors the brave.

The words echoed in my mind.

They seem so simple. So easy to understand

Unless you have no choice but to be brave. To be strong

I feel the dagger in my hand elongate. I slip into the bed chamber.

I am Death, fast and lethal. Hell's own assassin.

I hold up the sword, prepared to strike.

"Hello Agrippina." He says.

1 Week Prior

I walk to the bathes with my friend Octavia.

The baths were a place to meet people and gossip. We laughed and talked as we strolled.

"So how is Valerius?" She giggled.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. They were all after Valerius. It was kind of sickening.

"Oh, he's fine." I said nonchalantly as we stepped into the first bath.

The water was warm on my skin. It was refreshing.

I saw a familiar head of dark red hair.

"Livia!" I called.

She turned and waved. She walked through the water gracefully, hardly causing a ripple.

Livia was a good friend of mine. She and I had grown up together and one of Valerius' good friends was courting her. Something had been off about her recently, though. I pushed the thought out of my mind, to greet my friend.

We giggled and chatted as the slaves came by carrying breads, cheeses and wines. I looked around the marble room.

Almost everyone there was a Blue Blood. I smirked to myself.

"And the Emperor is planning on the festival being on the Ides." Octavia continued, not noticing my distraction.

"Oh?" I said in a polite tone, not really listening.

"Is something troubling you?" Livia asked, interrupting Octavia's rambling.

"What? Oh, no." I said, my voice sounded distant, even to my own ears.

They nodded, unconvinced, but left me to my thoughts.

Something had been troubling me. My younger sister, Julia Livella, or Sophia to our family, had been acting very strange lately.

She won't even talk to our brother. She avoids him like the plague.

When I awoke from my musings, we were preparing to leave. I had slept-walked through the entire afternoon. I said goodbye to Livia and Octavia as I walked home with my slave girl, Cleo.

"Mistress?" Cleo asks.

I realize we are already back at the palazzo.

"Yes, you are dismissed." I said with a wave of my hand.

I hear the door close as she left the room. I sit there staring at my reflection in the looking glass.

I can't shake the feeling that something is about to happen.

A change in tide.

A woke to the sound of knocking on my door.

"Entri!" I called, annoyed.

The door softly pushed open to reveal my little sister, Sophia.

"Hello." She said softly.

I sighed and wrenched myself out of bed. I stared at her unsure face.

She was plain. I thought to myself. Her dull brown hair curled around her face. Her face, there was nothing noticeable about it, nothing special.

But her eyes-

Her gray eyes held the wisdom and knowledge of the centuries.

They were beautiful in a way.

"Yes? What is the matter?" I asked her, as she stood in the doorway.

"If I told you something, something very serious, something… dangerous what would you say?"

"What are you talking about?" I said, completely alert now.

She looked nervous. "Not what …"

"Who!" I said, grabbing her slim shoulders.

"Gaius" She whispered.

I jolted back, surprised.

"Gaius?" I said, more to myself than her. I knew to trust her. She was Pistis Sophia, The Watcher. She could see the future and was in full control of her memories even though she was not yet fifteen.

The more I thought about her words, the more they made sense.

His strange behavior, he seemed more and more attracted to the dark, and his actions seemed to have dark intentions. It appeared that his mind was slipping.

It could be an effect of corruption.

I gasped. No it couldn't be.

But it has to be.

"Lucifer" I breathed.

That's it. There is no other explanation.

Sophia nodded, sagely.

"We cannot tell Drusilla." I said suddenly. Her and Gaius were incredibly close.

I felt my head shake unconsciously. I couldn't believe it.

"You know what we have to do, Azrael." She said.

My eyes widened, but I knew it was inevitable.

She sat down on my bed and we started to plan.

BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB – BB

Sophia came to me earlier, notifying me that she warned Michael and Gabrielle. I was to sneak into Gaius's chambers and-

Kill him.

I grabbed my sword from under my tunic. My heart was hammering in my chest. I slipped into the room. I raised my blade to make the killing blow.

"Hello Agrippina." Gaius said calmly. He turned to face me.

I froze, surprised that he knew that I would be here.

He gave me a sardonic smile.

"You thought I didn't know?" He mocked. He stepped closer.

"You thought that I would let you get in the way of plans?" He continued, his voice getting louder and harsher. He stalked around me, like a predator does with its prey. It made me feel vulnerable.

Azrael wasn't vulnerable, she wasn't weak.

"For you to ruin my chances to take back what it rightfully mine!?" He roared.

I took my blade and tried to strike him.

He stepped out of the way swiftly. He slammed me against the wall, gripping my throat.

"You will not get in my way, Azrael." He growled. He released me, and disappeared before I could move.

I tried to calm my breathing. I felt the bruises on my neck start to form.

He grows stronger every day. We must fight. This was close.

But next time will I be so lucky?

I wasn't really sure how to end this one. Reviews are always appreciated and will make me update faster!

By the way, The Ventator's Tale is up on Melissa's website.
