The Assassin

Chapter Eleven

“Whoa, cool!” The sudden outburst of Angel gave Lucifer a fright. 

He was dumbfounded at Angel’s reaction.

“So which one of your parents is the Assassin?” Angel questioned and Lucifer was speechless.

He didn’t really expect Angel’s reaction to be like that. He thought that she will start hating him but she didn't.

“W-what?” Lucifer stuttered and Angel giggled.

“I said, which one of your parents is the Assassin? Sure one of them would be an Assassin to train you right?” Angel explained and Lucifer blinked a few times before replying again.

“My father is the Assassin, he would train me through abuse and torturing day and night to get me immune to pain. He also taught me how to use weapons like guns and arrows, he was the one who got me to use a sword but I was the one who figured out my skills.” Lucifer described and Angel’s eyes sparkled.

“Did you know that being an Assassin is one of my dreams. I would eliminate the bad guys that hurts innocent people and bring justice!” Angel grinned and Lucifer was now in disbelief.

He never met a girl who would be interested in being an Assassin, yet talking to one. Shane already warned him that it’s dangerous for Angel to be near him so he decided that it was time to push her away in his life and start showing her his true colour.

“I killed my own parents because my father always taught me that the best way to make your heart numb is to kill those you love the most. I stabbed my mother on the heart while she was asleep and poisoned my mother. I was taught to think with my head and not the thing on my chest and I did.” Lucifer said with no emotion and Angel widens her eyes.

He was ready for her to reject him, he was prepared to lose her forever, he knows the consequences of telling her the truth but it’s a risk he’s willing to take so he can protect her and keep her safe. He believes that she will never be safe whenever he’s around specially his job is to kill people. He doesn’t want to lose her but he doesn’t want to be the reason of losing her completely.

'It's for the best.' He convinced himself.

“So if you don’t want to die, you better stay away from m-” Lucifer continued talking but was stopped when Angel suddenly hugged him.

He was frozen at his place at the sudden move of Angel. Five seconds later, Angel started shaking and sniffing, that was when he noticed she was crying.

“Please, stop… don’t even think about it. I don’t want to stay away from you so please don’t make me. I accept you for who you are, we are friends together and forever right? We made a promise to each other that we will never leave anyone behind and not care about the past. I don’t care if you killed your parents, you’re all I have. You, Shane and Phinks. I don’t want to lose any of you so please, don’t reject me.” Angela cried while looking up to Lucifer to convince him not to push her away.

Lucifer stared into her eyes for a moment before closing his eyes and smiling.

“You leave me no choice, just don’t blame me in the future if I accidentally kill you.” Lucifer started stroking her hair.

“You won’t kill me.” Angel stated and Lucifer gave her a worried face.

“How do you know that?” Lucifer questioned and Angel gave him a genuine smile.

“Because I do.” Angel then closed her eyes while smiling.

“You’re weird.” Lucifer commented while blushing and looking away.

“I’ve been told.”

End of Flashback

The memories made Lucifer smiled but soon faded when he realised that it was all in the past and Angel doesn’t remember any of it.

“I’m the Assassin of the group, the most dangerous one out of all of us who kill without any mercy.” Lucifer replied, hoping that he’ll scare Angel but he thought wrong.

“Whoa, cool!” The sudden outburst of Angel gave him a fright.

He was dumbfounded at her reaction. It was just like how she reacted when they were still kids.

“So which one of your parents is the Assassin?” Angel questioned and Lucifer was speechless.

“W-what?” Lucifer stuttered and Angel giggled.

“I said, which one of your parents is the Assassin? Sure one of them would be an Assassin to train you right?” Angel explained and Lucifer shook his head in disbelief.

“You’re always so stupid.” He mumbled then smiled secretly as he thought of this as a Deja vu.

---Time Skip---

Angel laid down on her bed and recalled everything that happened recently. She reunited with three of her old friends, two whom she recognised and one she had forgotten yet she still get along with him just like in the past.

“What a day…” She murmured before slowly falling asleep.

When she woke up in the morning, she found herself tucked inside her bed. She was confused on how she got there but she just ignored it. She checked her phone and saw a text message from her boss.

Boss: Hey Angel, just checking on how you’re doing with the love song, I believe that you can do it because I believe in you, always have always will :P

Angel looked at the blank paper that was on her table and sighed because she hasn’t even started writing anything yet.

Me: Good morning Sir Jack, yes I’m doing fine and had been thinking of a good lyrics.

Boss: Okay, that’s cool! Can’t wait to hear it! Remember to get fresh air for inspiration!

Angel put her phone away and sat on the table. She tried writing at least one word but her mind was blank.

“Urgh, stupid, useless brain!” She bumped her head onto the table then sigh before remembering what her boss texted her. “Maybe I should get some fresh air.”
