Hades turned when I approached him. He smiled.
"Casper, I'd like you to meet Nero".
Hades said.
I turned my head to look at the tall dark man, approximately seven feet and huge. He had light brown eyes and a small mouth which I guess turned black because he smoked a lot.
He barely looked at me before looking back at Hades.
"Nero this is Casper". The one I told you about.
This was why I hated this work. There was always something else coming up everytime. Even though it was fun being a shape shifter assassin, It still had it's ups and downs.
With the fact that some clients never have a picture of who they wanted dead. They only dropped names.
But this time I wasn't doing the work for someone, I was doing it for myself.
"You'll be following Hades to the warehouse and you'll drop the goods in the usual place before coming back."
Hades looked at me like he expected me to nod and say yes. But still know he was telling me the exact opposite of what he said. And I guessed he wanted Nero to think I'll be dropping whatever the good was somewhere before coming back. That was the only thought I had.
"Are you sure he won't be caught?". Nero said.
His voice was so thick it sounded like two people with the exact voice talking at the same time. He didn't sound like your typical american or any country I knew. Possibly from Africa then.
"He's my most trusted ally, he won't be caught. It's not he's first time". Hades said smiling assuringly.
Nero nodded and stood up.
I gulped as he stood. I've never seen anyone this tall and muscular.
"You sure it won't be like last time?".
"Absolutely sure". Hades replied. "Is that right Casper?". He glared at me now. I almost snorted.
"Yes, nothing would go wrong" I answered.
Nero nodded and started walking away while I walked behind him.
I guess I was coming back for Hades.

Hadrianus
When she blinked she looked shocked and surprised at the same time — if that was even possible.
Did she remember something?.
She stared at me now. Looking like she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
I rushed towards her and stay in the bed. She had shouted my name and told me she did it. It made me surprised and happy.
"Do you remember something?". I asked. Her face changed. She seemed to be thinking.
I'd bet she was in a dilemma. Fighting between telling the truth and lying. But whatever answer she gave me would determine if she was indeed lying.
"No I don't". She answered. Then she frowned at me. "And like I told you there's nothing to remember I didn't loose my memory. I'm only agreeing to all this so you'd let me go".
"Sure sure sure". I replied and stood up from the bed. "Have a good night honey".
I left.
Amelia
'Have a good night honey'. The words repeated theirselves in my head and i felt like he always said it to me before I went to sleep.
I refuse to believe it.
I had my doubt about the council but I didn't believe that they could keep so much from me or even take away my memory.
I stood up from the bed, the bathroom should be somewhere around here.
I opened the first door in the room and I gasped at the sight of it.
A bath tub. God knows I missed using a bath tub. Different types of body wash was placed on a shelf. The floor was made in marble. It looked so exquisite.
I took of my clothes without even bothering to think about it. I didn't care at that moment if anybody was coming. I entered the bathtub and turned it on. I sighed in contempt as the hot water filled and made my skin feel good.
I closed my eyes. And a few moments later I opened them.
I suddenly saw Hadrianus entering the bathroom. He was dressed in only boxers. I admired his ripped muscles, the curve of his shoulders. I looked down and I found myself smiling and happy for what I knew was going to come next.
He didn't even ask for my permission before getting into the bathtub. I shifted a little so to create space. Something at the back of my mind screamed at me for not shouting out and tell him to get lost. Instead I found myself welcoming his touch as he traced his hand from my neck to my n****e and pinched it. I gasped and leaned him expecting him to do more. He did do more.
My hand moved on their own and I gasped at the sensation I felt as I held on to his c**k.
His d**k!.
He moaned. "Stand up". He said. I found myself standing up.
He balanced one of my leg on his shoulder. And his head went to my s*x.
I moaned and held on to his head as I felt him flick my c**t with his tongue. He did it a few times before kissing his way down to my entrance and in one swift move he thrust his tongue into me. I gasped. And held in tight to him. He did it repeatedly. While I rubbed his hair and pushed his head further. Then he moved his tongue back to my c**t and the next I felt his finger enter me.
"God yes". I moaned.
He added another finger. I felt a pressure build in my lower stomach and I wanted him to increase his thrust.
"Amelia". I heard someone call.
"Amelia were are you". Who the hell was disturbing me.
"Amelia where the hell are you!!".
My eyes slid open in shock as I found myself alone in the bathtub.
"Amelia!". I realised Hadrianus was the one shouting.
Was I day dreaming before. Oh lord. I was finally going crazy.
"Amelia!". He called again.
"I'm in here". I shouted back.
I thought I heard him sigh in relief.
"Just wanted to check on you". He said and a few seconds later I heard the door close.
I sighed and thought back at what just happened.
It felts so real. Was this magic or what. Had they placed a spell on me?.
Goodness gracious, I was in trouble.
I was in deep s**t.

Marianna Maximus
They all stared at me while I stood in the middle.
I failed and they blamed me for it.
My sister was looking anywhere but me. I knew she was scared for me. Afraid of what The coven might do to me.
I was also scared for myself. But I knew I wasn't at fault. They hadn't said anything about anyone else going to look for her.
They blamed me for not using my magic quick enough before Octavian could strike at me.
Were they forgetting he was also a wizard. Were they forgetting he was also a vampire and vampires were fast. Were the forgetting he was also a warrior.
My mum wasn't even looking at me. Or supporting me. No she was also against me. She always was.
Even before my father died. And when my aunt spoke to her about it. She lied against my father saying he's death caused it. But she was never like that with my sister Vivian. Vivian was the favourite. The good child. And I was the one that always got into trouble. I was the one that was always caught. I was the one she always blamed for vivian's bad choices. Even if she was present when Vivian did it. She still blamed me for not stopping her from doing it.
But it hurt. just to see her against me. Not supporting me. It pained me no one was on my side.
"We still can't decide what to do about your failure. You knew how important the demon was to us". The leader of the coven spoke up making everyone else go quite.
It was a rule. If she was speaking no one else could. No one knew what the punishment was, cause those who received it never lived to tell the tale. They either died from the punishment or...okay that was probably it. They died from the punishment.
"We have decided though, to give you another chance". I hadn't realized I sighed out in relief but my mum didn't seem to be happy about it.
"You will be given two weeks to bring the demon. We all know she's not as powerful as she was before and she has a problem with controlling her powers. Now hear this, if you come back empty handed. You will be punished".
I nodded. And when I looked at my sister she was smiling. For a moment I thought she was happy for me but then I noticed she wasn't even looking at me. She was looking at something or someone else.
When I followed her eyes.
I scoffed when I saw who she was smiling at.
Daniel. But he wasn't even looking at her. He was staring at me. And it was hard to figure out his expression because he just looked. I looked back at my sister and saw she was now glaring at me then it clicked into place.
I almost chuckled. The fool was jealous.
The leader who was katherine stood up from where she sat and everyone else immediately sat up. She walked away and the murmurs began again.
I walked away from where I stood and headed to my room.
I was now regretting my decision.
This assignment wasn't firstly assigned to me.
My evil mother made me accept it when she told the leader that I told her I was interested in going. And when they called for me and asked me if it was true I couldn't deny it. Because if I did they could kill my mother for lying. They'll literally burn her alive.
Yes, that was how strict the coven was. And my oh so sweet mother knew I wouldn't want her dead so I agreed.
God knew why she did it.
My only idea was she wanted me far away. Not that I was near her anyway.
How was I supposed to get Athena if she was with the vampires.
I almost cried.
"Marianna". I looked back at Vivian as she approached me.
"Stay away from Daniel" she started. "He doesn't like you, he just pities you".
"Yeah, he pities me for what your mother did to me".
She sighed dramatically. "Don't give yourself hope of having him Mariana, you and I both know you're already dead. There's no way you'll get that demon from the hands of the vampires".
She was right, and i hated her for it. Did I imagine the pity look she gave me in there. I decided to okay along with what she thought.
"I'll give myself hope as much as I want Vivian. You just keep laughing at Daniel until he sees your teeth, even if he doesn't see you".
Ouch!. The look on her face was priceless. She deserved every bit of it.
She suddenly looked relaxed again. "He'll notice me. He has even kissed me. Have you been kissed before Mariana?".
I knew it was a rhetorical question so I didn't answer.
"Daniel has kissed me. Mariana, he savoured my lips".
Now I smiled. "Have you been kissed by a vampire?".
I asked.
I smirked. "Of course not. You Only go after the mummy's good boys because you're also mummy's good girl. I go after bad boys who aren't afraid if their mamas. Do you want to know how the vampire kissed me. He kissed me like he wanted to devour me. It was so hot I was practically burning up. Oh those lips. He kissed every part of me. We made out. You hear that Vivian. I made out with a hot vampire. I even rejected him after the kiss. He was even beging me to give him a chance".
Was it even possible for her to glare harder because she did. "I'll tell mum, I'll tell mum everything".
Right, why wasn't I surprised she would. "Go ahead mama's girl. Go tell your mama I whipped you with my words".
Then I walked away.
