Thread: The Bloodied Blades of Love (Frogger and InsertNameHere)

Frogger said You want Grigoris Dagger, hmm? Malice knew the weapon well, for it was the stuff of legends, only lingering on the edges of truth. Not very many people acknowledged such a dagger, or its fellow brethren. Yet she knew it was realfor its perfect balance, length, and razor-sharp edge could not be manifested by imaginationalso because it was inside her own vault. A pleasant breeze wafted through the balcony, its fingers playing with the tips of her hair, sending the dark blonde strands flying every which way. Leaves rustled in its aftermath, colorful flowers bobbing their heads as though in agreement to her earlier statement. Overall, it was a beautiful day one she intends to fully appreciate. I believe you have proved yourself more than worthy of owning such a dagger My previous apprentice didnt last nearly as long as you have thus far, and you have been under my tutelage forquite some time now. Though you cant win a sparring match against me yetI imagine you will sometime in the future. Maybe not for another couple yearsbut it is not an impossibility. There are others more skilled than youhowever, there are also others whowell, will run away if put up against you. To be honestI dont need the daggerso it might as well go to someone who will use it to its full potential. Malice opened one green eye, mostly to gauge his reaction. Her lips curving into a lovely smile, one full of amusement, and perhaps with a tad bit of something else, she let her eye fall shut. Of courseI was thinking about taking you along to my next mission. I dont know when that will be, mind youbut I wouldnt mind the company, and besidesit would help if you have some sort of field training. Howeverthere are some rules. I dont want you to be interfering in any way, not unless it is relevant to the mission. My weapons will be on my person, so I need you to be carrying a few yourself. Your new dagger will be one. Have a few others, such as gunsknivesanything you can easily hide and pull out when an opportunity presents itself to you. HmI will also have you take care of my weapons and any living arrangements we need while out. The insistent ringing of the phone broke her thought processes, and brought a scowl to those lovely lips. Phone! she called, snapping her fingers with obvious impatience. Syd quickly ran out to retrieve it, holding it out for her after just a few seconds. Her eyes glared at the offending device, yet her fingers wrapped around its middle, raising it to one ear. Hello? Malices impatience dissipated almost immediately, eyes growing wide, the scowl being replaced by a delightful smile. Why, yesI do remember youMr. Horton. You hired me close to a year ago, in order to take out your competition Oh, dont worry, I am more than interested in whatever proposition you have for me Their conversation continued on for almost an hour, though the assassin didnt say much on her end. It was to be expected, though, given how she liked to make sure she has all the details she needs. The sun rose higher and higher in the sky, shadows growing shorter due to it being overhead. Even the flowers seemed to droop their heads. The food piping hot when it arrived- grew cold as the minutes passed by. Alright, she finally spoke. Ill be more than happy to take your assignment. What is my price? Hm Here she smiled, eyes bright in excitement. I demandfive million beforehand, and five million after the job is done. The money will secure my services I will also need intelligence concerning the man, and his security Oh, you want me to do that myself? Fine That is not a big issue Do you want it to be publicor done in private? I can do it either waybut it costs you more if you want it public. Malice always did love a challenge. Maybe it was the heart-pounding anticipation that runs through her veins right before she goes in for the killor maybe it was just the money, but still. It wasnt long before the conversation was at its end, the two having nothing else to say. For a moment she just thought over it all, her fingertips playing along her arm. SydI want you to start preparing my things. We have an assignment, and thought I cant see it being too difficultit is much better to be safe than sorry. I also want you to prepare a hotel room. During the day we investigate, gather informationand at nightwe strike. This may take three or four days perhaps even a week, so bring plenty of supplies. I didnt think I would be bringing you with me on an assignment so soonbut the sooner the better. You need to gain some experience in the fieldand what better way to do it? Malice rose out of the lounge chair in one graceful motion, her long dark blonde hair falling down to rest right at her backs small. A few strands fell into her eyes, but these she brushed aside, and tucked behind an ear. I will be making my own preparations. I expect you to report back to me in one hour with your status Alright? Her figure was aglow with warm sunshine, her hair looking like gold, and her eyes like gems set in a blanket of velvet. Now thengo on, start making the arrangements. I will see you in a little bit. Malice patted his cheek with one soft, almost delicate hand, only to be followed by a kiss to the skin there. It was just a simple gesture made out of absent-mindedbut it was still a sweet gesture made by a woman who normally didnt make any. Sexy hips swaying, long, slender legs propelling her forward, it took but a minute for the beauty to make it back into her bedroom. Tonight they will be gone, so she must be readyat any cost. After all, Malice hates keeping her customers waiting. Nibbling on a little bit of food which she got from the plate Syd brought earlier- she looked through her closet, studying each disguise in turn. No matter where she went, there was a need for a disguise, especially if intelligence was to be obtained. Her fingers played with the fabric of one particular costume, a smile curving her lips. A man is nothing but a bundle of primal instinct she mused, already deciding to stash that away in her suitcase. Maybe I can push his limits Maybe even get information from the horses mouth Click to expand... Syd had to work very hard not smiling like an idiot when she granted him his wish, just like she said she would. Even though she had never given him any right to fear her breaking her word, he still knew what he asked no small trinket. Still, she accepted it rather gracefully and that, alone, brought him joy. After all the hard training he did and would certainlys till do, this brightenned his day. Maybe even more than watching this beautiful woman and hearing her praising him somehow. To Syd, she wasn't only stunning because of her seductive body and face, she was beautiful because of her the perfection she imbued in all her moves and demeanor. Watching her kill or even beating him in a sparefight was like watching a great predator at work. An exquisite machinery expertly designed to do what it was meant to. When he heard her fingers snapping though, his mind stopped wandering and he hurried to bring her mobile phone to her hand and went back on his kneeling position, silently listenning to her part of the conversation as well as waiting for her next course of action. Then, the words came. Preparation. For her and for him. This was a premiere and a test he wasn't eager to botch. He had to bring his A game, his very best so his Mistress and mentor would be proud of him. So she would know whatever she taught him hadn't been a waste of time. When she sent him away, he hurried again. There were so many things to take care of in one hour. First, the weapons. He took his new dagger of cours,e but he had to take more as well as prepare her own gears. He started with hers. First the killing tools. Guns. Easy to hide ones as well as two with a superior firepower in case she would decide for a mroe straight foraward approach. One of her long range sniper rifle that could be disassembled and reassembled easily. At least she could. Nerve gaz grenades, smoke grenades, smart goggles that could see through as many different light specters as money could possibly buy. Grapple gun, diamond glass cutter, adhesive gloves, one of her own blade. Then he selected one of her credit cards from an untraceable account as well as 200K in cash. He had to make sure she could cover whatever expenses she'd need as well as travel ins tyle if she ever saw it fit. He locked everything into a custom made samsonite suitcase that could only open from either Syd or his Mistress' touch, made to recognize their skin patern. He was almost entirely done when her phone rang again and he ran to bring it to her, kneeling again and holding it so she could tak ethe call, trying not to look too obviously at her as seh was getting dressed. One the phone, a man's voice presented itself as Mr Blurrsbury, he was the target Mr Horton paid her to kill. The man said I'm Mr Blurrsbury and I've been made aware a rival of mine hired the very best assassin in the world to get rid of me. You've been described to me as the very best so I find myself stuck with two possibilities. Either he didn't hire you which would mean I can. Both to get rid of the one he paid to kill me as well as to kill him. Or, he did hire you and, in this case, I'll kindly ask if I can double his offer, whatever that is, and work for me instead?
