In the beginning...
Raven was bored, there was no other way to describe it.
Raven had been for two weeks and she ran out of things to do after the first week but her team insisted on her taking time off to try and relax but if that even possible for an assassin to do.
When you are in her line of work, having relationships are zero and having friendships are not something that can be just done as you are asking for weakness.
With so many enemies living till old age is a luxury that Raven did not think she would ever have but she lost her innocence and dread of death at a young age.
Raven was abandoned as a baby at a church in London then at four-years-old she was adopted by a older man called John Jones, everyone in his community likes him.
They believed him to be a good and upstanding man with good morals but he gave the word pedophile a whole new meaning.
For three years Raven had to suffer with nightly visits from John, she did not understand at first, the pain and the sensations but some times she was able to fight him off but other should could not and he made sure it hurt.
On one occasion when she tried to sneak out the window, John slammed through the door and dragged Raven back inside, he through her onto the bed and ripped of the clothes then bent her face down and forced himself on her. she refused to scream or make any sound and would not give that satisfaction he craved.
By her seventh birthday she had enough and wanted it to stop, so she went to school like she always did, she did not have friends she would not risk it even though John wanted her to bring other children back with her but always lied.
Raven knew she was pretty with her Black hair with red in it and ivory skin with red lips but she always tried to make it out to not be a big deal.
When she finished school that day, she went to the dealers down the street and bought as knife off of them, she hid it in her school bag and went home and when she got there went straight to her room and put the knife under her pillow.
When the night time came, John came to the room like he always did but this time Raven had the hand on her knife and when he was climbing on top of her, she plunged the knife with all her strength into Johns neck then pulled it out.
The look of shock on his face made Raven smile and then she did it again and again but pushed him while she could onto the floor.
When she was certain he was not getting back up, she layed down on her bed and tried to steady her breathing but looked Johns dead body then a tsk sound came from the door way and saw a man in the shadows.
The man steps forward with a frown on his face while looking at his marks dead body then at the little girl who dealt the damage.
“You little girl, killed my mark”
Raven sat up and shrugged but smirked at the man.
The man shook his head because this was going to be interesting to explain but the job was mostly done now.
This man John touched the wrong children and for him this was long time coming, he walked forward but Raven pushed herself back against the wall.
“I do NOT touch children, i am a different kind of monster”
He saw the wild look in her eye and knew he had to take it slow but he witness the attack she put her abuser and he was impressed a seven year old girl could do it. she had potential.
“Look, i need to burn this place to the ground and sort things out to make this look like an accident. not to sound like a bad movie but if you want to live come with me or stay here and die with him but know that you are giving him what he wants if you do.”
Raven thought about it and knew he was right but she was still wary of him.
“My name is Gabe and i kill people for money. I will not lie about what i do but i want to take you as my apprentice!”
“OK…my name is Raven”
Gabe smiles at the little girl, she did not cry or scream, she just shrugged her little shoulders and smirked.
Raven was pulled out of the memory by the chiming of her phone and sighed when she looked at the screen, she saw Janes name knowing that the holiday her and ken insisted on would be coming to an end.
“GO”
“Raven, you could say hello, How are you? instead of being rude.”
Raven ignored it because this was a constant from Jane, she always wanted to get closer to Raven but Raven would never let it happen.
After a few minutes of silence from Raven, Jane sighed and carried on.
“We have a Job offer come through, big payout!”
Raven stayed silent knowing the rest was coming.
“The client wants a man to be killed and made to look like a accident but don’t they always but she is willing to payout three million pounds.”
Raven sits up from where she is laying at that price because that is double her fee.
“Did you say three million? who the hell is the target?”
“I checked and did a deep check, it is just the client’s husband but the client is big on the money market scene but a dirt bag most other place’s”
Raven suddenly loses interest as that really is no fun at all and she doesn't really need the money.
“I know you do not need the cash Raven but this guy is a dickhead and would be better off under plus it would be good for your reputation.”
Raven knew Jane was partially right but she did not want to be talking more jobs in the future from disgruntled housewife's.
“Come on Raven, It is a great payout”
Raven sighed because it would be good to add it to her nest egg.
“Fine but make her aware of the contract and make sure she has no connection to the police we do not need another incident like in the USA.”
“I will sort it out, and send you the information to your laptop”
Jane puts down the phone with her business attitude but Raven knows the job will get done.
Laying back down and looking out at the blue Caribbean sea, Raven thinks maybe she should retired but for a assassin that is just asking for you to be killed and she had a lot of enemies out there waiting to strike.
Raven closed her thinking of what she might of been but her imagination ran away with her thinking of her favorite K-Drama and wondering if maybe she should go to Asia next and find someone to spar with.
When it came to s*x most where an option men or woman but she preferred Asian men and Norse woman.
She couldn’t help her taste where unique, she liked them.
After a few minute's Raven her the chiming on her mobile phone telling her she had mail, she smiled and sighed.
It looks like it is going to be another busy few months.
