Bea Messina

It's been about six months since I came to again. Father said that I had a horrible accident and that's why I don't remember anything.

From what he tells me, I used to be a street racer. He wouldn't tell me what my racer name was so I could look it up though, I think he's scared I'll go back to that life.

Shortly after I woke up from the coma I was in for two weeks, me and my dad's gang moved down to Dallas, Texas. He said that we lived here once but I still don't remember.

As I relentlessly train in the work out room, I notice some of fathers gang members looking at me as I move.

It's no secret who I am to the gang leader in this town. The Sapphire Wolves have accepted me as one of their own, it feels good. Most people fear me as I walk down the streets. Girls envy me and boys want to get in my pants.

I've never really let it get to me though. I finished my senior year this year and then I started training. Father said I was training to become an amazing assassin before I had my accident.

Everyday, I continue to train so that I still work towards that goal.

Father says when I'm good enough, gangs will be asking for my service. I'll gladly oblige, but for a price.

"Bea! Come to my office please!" I hear my father yell from the entrance.

I look over and see him poking his head in. "I'll be right there!" I reply unwrapping my knuckles, leaving them on the table.

I quickly walk to my fathers office, not wanting to keep him waiting.

"What do you want to talk about?" I ask politely as I stand in front of him. He sits in his desk, looking at papers scattered across his desk.

"I have a job for you." He answer shortly, sighing and looking up at me. "I need you to assassinate this man." He says pushing a file toward me.

I pick it up and open it to see a picture of a man with dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes. It's listed his name is Marlin Vanpatton.

"Is there a reason I'm killing this man father?" I ask putting the file under my arm to continue looking it.

"Yes, he's threatening our sales and distribution. I need you to make him die randomly, leave his body as a sign." He answers with a very serious look in his eyes.

"Of course father, he will be dealt with." I bow my head am about to leave when he opposes.

"You need a calling sign, a name everyone will know you by." He says with the seriousness leaving his eyes.

"And what would that be?"

Without answering he pushes a sheet over to me. It having to Chinese symbols expertly drawn on, 银影

Luckily, I was supposedly raised bilingual, "Silver Shadow?" I question lightly.

"Yes, you kill Marlin in an alley and write them a warning on the wall. Saying to step back or you will continue to kill, ending with those symbols." He states with no room for discussion.

"Yes father, I'll go right away." I quickly bow my head and leave his office with all the papers still in hand.

After looking over his file again, it looks as though he is in California.

I pack a bag, packing a few daggers and a can of white spray paint for the message.

Waving to the gang members as I pass, I head to the garage and jump in my car. My matte black Lamborghini purrs as I start it up and slowly back out of the driveway.

Instantly, I dart down the street and start for the destination a few states over.

***

After a long drive, I finally reach California.

Pulling into the small town, the name I've already forgotten, I head straight for where my target will be. The file said he will be walking out of the bar every night at the same time, like he has been for weeks.

Parking outside the small bar labelled 'Daily Planet'.

I smile slightly and get out of the cars, waiting in the shadows for my target.

After about an hour waiting, he comes out, but he's not alone. I scoff to myself and follow them, pulling the hood up on my black cloak to hide my identity.

When they are not paying attention to Marlin, I quickly grab him from behind, covering his mouth with chloroform cloth, dragging him to a nearby alleyway. I look back to the group to see that they do not suspect a thing.

I smirk and go back to the man, grabbing the dagger from my boot.

I see him begin to come conscious as I approach. He looks around for a moment before his eyes widen when they land on me.

Before he can scream, the dagger flies from my hand, into his heart. I quickly pull it back out, wiping it on my cloak and putting it back in its spot.

I quickly drag his body and sit him upright against the wall where I'll write my message.

Grabbing out my spray paint I do exactly as father said.

'Stop messing around in matters that do not concern you. If I hear about anymore trouble, I will personally do the same to you as I have done your comrade. Watch you back. -银影'

Before anyone could notice I was there, I slipped back into my car and drove off quickly, making sure to leave no trail for anyone to follow.

I guess I'm the gang's assassin.

Ace Martello

"Ace, we found Marlin's body in an alleyway." Weston says handing me a paper with an image printed on it.

As I look over it, my eyes hold their confusion. "What does this sign mean?" I ask pointing to the 'name' at the bottom.

"We translated it from Chinese, it means Silver Shadow. We think they are some kind of new assassin and they don't particularity like us at the moment." Isaac says as he crosses his arms over his chest.

"Do we know what gang they are from?" I ask sighing, running my hands down my face.

"Yes we do, the newbies. The Sapphire Wolves. They must've been training an assassin in the short amount of time they've been a gang. They did take the Forsaken spot when they fell." Raphael says as he enters the room, holding papers with a picture of a girl.

"Who's this?" I ask looking at the picture. She has long silver hair, beautifully tanned skin and bright blue eyes. Somehow she seemed familiar but I couldn't place it.

"We don't know he real name, but this is the assassin you are looking for," He answers putting his hands in his pockets.

"Well I guess we have an assassin on our hands boys." I say sighing and throwing the picture down on the desk, unable to take my eyes off of it.

We're coming for you Silver Shadow.
