light at midnight

I sat in a field of white daisies. The smoke of my hut sat in the distance today is my last day of freedom. My father is selling me. I am to wed Mr.mark a pig farmer with cruel eyes and even crueler hands I knew from the moment father introduced us that Mr Marks time was coming soon he was marked by death .my thoughts were interrupted by Lilly my childhood companion “ oh nyx I’m so sorry I wish the best for you “ I fake a smile “ oh Lilly I’m sure all will be well “ Lilly looked like she was about to faint “ oh goody I’m so glad you feel that way it’s such a relief truly” I smile as I focus on reviving the daisies I accidentally killed “ thank you Lilly I’m humbled by your care but if you excuse me I must prepare myself for a wedding “ my internal eyes roll I’m dressing for my death when he finds out he’s been ripped off **** After the voles were made and we’re in his hut he shoves me towards the bed room I stumbled in. And his greasy eyes are undressing me. He points to my gown. “ take it off “ I do so without argument because I know arguing is just going to get me hurt. But I’m not fast enough and A strike to the face sends me flying. He rips off my dress. Glaring at the beautiful black heart birthmark right on my shoulder right above my breast . The mark of my father Adam the lord of death and my father. Mark roars in complete range my shift rips as he grabs my hair and drags me out of the room and down the stairs tossing me in the closet locking the door “ I’ll get a real priest this time “ **** A few hours later I woke up to the sound of the door lock opening. I opened my eyes just a bit to see the same priest who blessed my wedding shaking my shoulder. I open my eyes and he shushes me putting a finger to his lips. And whispers “ hurry” I push myself up hurrying after him. I followed him to a secluded alley where a wagon waited he all but shoved me into the small compartment below the wagon 3 days of riding in the wagon. We reached a addy. Two women in hooded monk robes took me by the arms and led me to the Head priestess The priestess. Was a lovely woman with blonde hair and black eyes. Her black birthmark glitter on her right hand as she looked me up and down. My night black hair, emerald green eyes and red lips even down to my dark long thick jet black lashes. She frowned “ pretty things aren’t you. Now “ she handed me a goblet of red wine “ drink “ I took the goblet drinking deep “ every child of Adam has an ability that makes them special. What is yours “ I frown “ I can feel when someone is about to die. And I can kill plants as well as revive them. That's all I know of” the head priestess smiles and you are immune to poison “ she gestured to my goblet. Off you go then. Your training begins immediately. I have hopes of you becoming the greatest assassin “ ***** Three years later My first mission starts today. I’m dressed. In a lovely gown as I bat my eyelashes at me. New not so innocent victim as I suspected he walks right up to me “should we go back to my rooms my lady” his mouth covered in pig's grease but I smile like I don't notice and batt my eyelashes at him again fanning my face “ it's really stuffy in here I guess a change of decor is needed” I say as I offer my hand he bows before taking my offered hand and leading me into his private chambers my hand are counted in monkshood a deadly poison that caused paralysis heart, attack, and respiratory failure under my gloves. Once the door closes I pull off my gloves as he lays down on the bed I lean over him laying my hands on his neck and batt my eyelashes giving him a look that promised bliss and stand up pretending I'm taking my time with my dress I slowly pop the first button on my long grown and put it back as the poison kicked In I smile as I jump out the window landing silently on my feet outside i brush off my skirts and starts walking my slippers make no sound as I mount my horse and make my way to the Abby I picked up my skirts as I walk into the main entrance hall and then bank right into the high priestess office
