Chapter 3: Discovering the Secret

A/N: Two updates in one day, I hope you forgive me for the long hiatus and I hope you like it. R&R.

"Excuse me." I said and walked away, what I didn't know was they followed me.

"Silencer?" a man's voice said from the other end.

"Yes? Who is this?" I asked in a serious tone.

"My name is Gordon Feng and I want you to take care of someone for me." he said.

"Name the time and place and your prize." I said.

"Tomorrow midnight at Chicago, lowest I'll give you is 50 000." he said.

"Good enough. I'll meet you there." I said and hung up.

"What was that about?" Damon said glaring at me.

"Nothing." I said.

"Nothing? You're gonna kill a person, Iris." Stefan said.

"I'm just doing my job." I said.

"But it's up to you to decide." Caroline said.

"Why do you care? You aren't even human." I retorted which made Caroline wince.

"Ooo, I'm gonna enjoy this." Katherine said smirking.

"At least I act human, you... You kill defenceless people for money." Caroline said baring her fangs at me.

"I admit, I am a monster. I do this for me and my family's sake. I would be killed if I stop this work, it is my dad who makes me do this. I want to stop but I can't, he'll expose me, I don't want to rot in jail." I said.

"But you still murder." Caroline hissed

"Leave me alone, this is my life, why do you care?" I said and turned around.

I was suddenly pinned to a wall by the neck and I saw that it was Lexi.

I kicked her hard but it didn't affect her but I saw her eyes flash with curiosity.

"You're stronger than most humans." she said but I continued to glare at her and I managed to choke out, "Let me go!"

"Only if you promise not to kill anymore humans." Lexi said.

"I promise." I lied and Katherine smirked from behind her and shook her head.

Of course she would know I was lying, she was a master of manipulation after all.

Lexi let go of me and I dusted myself off.

"I'll guard her." Marni volunteered, I glared at her but she ignored me.

I ran to my room and slammed the door shut.

"Iris?" Marni said as she knocked on the door.

"What do you want?" I said as I prevented tears from streaming down from my face.

'Stay strong. You're smart and strong, The Silencer never shows weakness.' I thought, I repeated my mantra but a single tear slid down my pale cheek.

Marni entered and she said, "Are you okay, Iris?"

"Yes. Of course I am. I always am." I said turning my back on her and wiping the tear off my cheek.

"Are you sure? Look, I'm sorry for what Caroline said, she said she didn't mean to say all those things. She's new and her senses are heightened so she lost it for a second." Marni said soothingly.

"I know." I said frowning.

She left the room and I tried opening the window.

"Damn, witches and their powers." I grumbled.

"Someone's having a bad day." Katherine said entering my room and leaning on the doorway.

"Need to go—CRASH!" I was cut off by a loud crash.

I went downstairs and gulped when I saw my father and four henchmen.

"Uh oh." I mumbled.

"Who's he?" Damon asked glaring at my father.

"Iris." dad said glaring at me.

I gulped and he said, getting me in a choke-hold, "Why are you not going to Mr. Feng?"

"I was delayed." I said choking.

"You never get delayed and besides, your eyes are watery. How many times did I have to tell you not to show emotion?!" he growled.

"I apologize deeply." I said and he dropped me, I tried getting up but kicked me and said, "I let you keep your mother and sister, don't let them get in the way."

He glared at all the others in the room and said, "If you ever stop her again, you're all dead."

I finally got to my feet and I was furious at him.

I got a dagger and was about to stab him but his henchmen shot at me.

I dodged all bullets with great ease and placed one of them in a headlock before snapping his neck.

I then rolled to another and twisted his gun hand so the gun was facing him, before I shot him.

I drew two daggers and threw them at the other two.

Dad's frown deepened and he said, "How dare you defy your father!"

I laughed shaking my head and said, "Father? How can you call yourself a father after what you did to me? I'm going to make you pay."

The others just looked amazed at my sudden outburst and I drew two machine guns before loading them with poison bullets and shooting at him.

He dodged most of them but one hit him straight through the chest and his mouth bubbled and his eyes rolled to the back of his head.

I smirked and kicked him and said, "You can't order me around now, Father."

I spat at him and walked out the door into the night, I heard a woosh and Katherine appeared and said, "How'd you do that to your own father?"

"He's nothing to me. All he wanted was money and power, he made me do his dirty work for him, all I wanted was revenge but I couldn't do that but when he threatened you, I snapped and killed him." I said without any emotion.

"So you'll stop killing now?" she said looking disappointed.

"Well, it depends on my mood. If I'm bored and furious, I will... but if I'm in a good mood, nothing bad will happen." I said.

"Tell me if you have someone in mind, I'd like to drain someone, it's been a long time since I drank from the source." Katherine said.

"Are we best friends or something? Cause I don't remember doing favours for anyone, even my friends." I said looking curiously at her.

"Aww, come on. We have a lot in common."

"Alright, I'll agree. Let's go back." I said.

A/N: Sorry if it's short. Thank you for reading. I accept flames but not too much so don't be shy to review, please don't be an invisible reader. I really need to hear out those comments so I'll be able to improve my future stories but I have no plan in editing my current one so I'm really sorry. Thanks again.
