Once upon a time, there lived a very pretty princess. She was kind, understanding, graceful, and brave.
I gotta stop with these fairy tale knock offs. The princess in this story was beautiful, but she wasn't kind, understanding, or graceful. Nope. She was ruthless, bloodthirsty, and lethal. The princess in question was named Luna Storm, born 1993 in Demonia, Germany. Her Parents were Leonia and Elric Storm, she was an only child, no pets and no friends. She was raised in a peaceful two story house, she had a sizable yard that melted into the woods.
Yah, I know what your thinking. How could a girl raised in such a nice place end up with a personality like that? Easy, because her family wasn't your typical, every day, friendly neighborly type. They were a family of assassins, and Luna was heiress to the throne of blood.

" An interesting profile indeed, only 17 years old and already she is at the top of her field. You raised her well Elric. So, where is the girl now? "
" On a job, she should be back soon. "
« 13:06 am, eastern time : location, unknown »
Luna shifted her weight slightly, rebalancing the heavy rifle on the ledge in front of her.
" Hey Daniel? Is the target in sight yet? I'm freezing my ass off here. "
" Well, aren't you impatient today? To answer your question, no the target is not in sight yet, nor will he be in the next three seconds when you ask again. "
" Snappy aren't we? If I had a dime for every time you got pissy- "
" Sorry to interrupt that faltering monologue Luna, but I have the target in my sight, he's heading your way, should be there in about five seconds. "
" Right. I see him. Daniel, give me the readings. " Luna shifted the rifle up so she could peer through the scope and centered her crosshairs on the targets forehead.
" Wind speed and direction, seven mph from the northwest. Temperature and humidity, seventeen degrees fahrenheit and thirty percent humidity. Light quality is good and no obstacles detected. All conditions favorable. Luna, you are free to terminate the target. "
Luna shifted the rifle and aligned the crosshairs accordingly. She closed her eyes and smiled. Sucks to be you buddy. She savored the moment a second longer, and pulled the trigger.
" Daniel, can you give me confirmation? The guards swarmed him and I lost my line of sight. "
" Affirmative Luna. Target has been eliminated. "
Luna leaned back and sighed. She then started to clean up her roost, wiping surfaces, picking up the shell, and pulling apart and packing her rifle.
" So Luna, want to go get a burger? Or a pizza? Or, you know, maybe skip dinner and go straight back to my place? "
Luna couldn't stop herself from snorting. Yeah, not today danny boy. But still, a burger could be good right now.
" I could go for that burger if your really up to it right now. "
" Luna, Luna, Luna. You should know by now that I'm always up for a burger. "
