chapter 01

I look down at the still body of my prey and as the deed is done, I jump from the window into the loneliness of the abandoned garden below. The darkness covering the extent of the sins I've committed and from the room erupts a wail of sadness from a chambermaid to a fallen king. Quickly retrieving my bag from a bush nearby.

A command sounds from the room exclaiming to find whoever did this and have them hung. Those words are no stranger to me, as they are as common to me as one hearing their own name. I dash through the darkened garden and vault over a wall into a silent street just as guards come running out of the newly lit castle. Running till the beautiful house fade leaving just commoner houses and fade yet again to the filth and danger-ridden parts of town.

I run at a steady pace through the dirty under streets of this once love-ridden town. But now all that surrounds me is hatred and dirt, seeping into the pores of everything and anything it can get its hands on. Keeping my breaths steady and my steps unfaltering, knowing that if I stop for even a second, they will catch me, I run like the mascara of a widowed wife after a bloody war. And I have too much at stake if I happen to stop. My footfall, practically silent as I power further ahead, the shadows of my pursuers not far behind but still out of sight.

'Rose, next right, you need to hurry they are gaining on you. Once you've arrived scale the wall to get into the next yard, Good luck." The voice in my ear states before it goes static and then silent. I take a sharp right flying into another abandoned alleyway. At the end is a wall that cuts of the rest of my line of sight. I speed up and jump to catch the ladder closest to the wall, using that moment I flip my body on the wall landing in a crouch before jumping off onto the ground below.

I climb up onto the next building and using any footholds I can find and make my way up onto the roof blending into the shadow from the previous roof, just as a group of men flanks into the deadened that I was in not moments ago.
" Men check everywhere, he's got to be here somewhere." The group dissipates at that command, they search around that area some climbing the wall to check onto the other side. From where I sit perched on my rooftop I watch as men search through the dusty alleyways and find nothing.

I start to remove my assassin clothes, starting with my hood. I carefully pull off my velvet laced hood, and my arm and leg garters that hold my weapons. Keeping on my wrist dispenser just in case. I then proceeded to remove my leather-strapped corset, tight belts, and heavily strapped boots that somehow make my footfall extra quiet. Next, I remove my body-tight shirt and tight pants leaving me in only my undergarments including my brasier and underpants.
Replacing my previous clothing with hoop supported skirt, dirtied shirt and slip-on shoes. Then I let down my hair and pulled out a bunch of sheets to bundle my bag in. Once my disguise is complete I start to innocently walk down the streets putting the bundle on my hip swaying my hips in a way that entails that I belong here.
After walking for a small while I feel the presence of someone behind me, so I continue as if I didn't notice them. "Excuse me, madame, I was wondering if you have seen any suspicious men around these here parts." I turn and give the man my nicest smile noticing he was one of the guards following me.

" No sir I don't believe I 'ave. Tis been very quiet 'round 'ere." I say in my most convincing laid-back accent. Turning back, I start walking down the street once again. I walk my way down the street until I meet my rendezvous point at the edge of the filthy town.

I see my escape vehicle sitting in the shadows covered in a black sheet, a sleek black car hiding from plain sight. I pull the sheet off and my beautifully clean car glistens from the moonlight. Hoping in I put in the starting codes for my car and pull up the location for our headquarters.

After doing that I then video call my partner, ghost, her face then popping up. Her stalk white hair and pale complexion showing up. "Ghost tell the council that it was a mission success, target 342641 is dead and I shall be returning to discuss payment."

I drive for while till I come to an old looking house. It wasn't really anything big or exciting on the outside. But on the inside, it was one of the most magnificent places I've ever seen. I pull on my hooded coat and mask. I park my car on the outside of the house and put it in stalk mode where it practically turns invisible. I walk to the house and put in the code the door swings open and reveals an elevator. I step in with my hood over my head and my mask on my face so that my identity is hidden. But this in no way stops anyone from identifying who I am. Even with my face covered I'm known, known as Bloody Rose.

Ok guys the first chapters out I hope you guys enjoy.
