Chapter 1

Jade's P.O.V

'I wasn't born without a heart.' came from my alarm.

My body was still sore from yesterday's mission, I almost got shot 3 times, well it was my fault for getting caught.

Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. Some call me an assassin, some call me an agent, some call me an angel of darkness but my name is Jade, I am the girl who lost her parents when she was 5, I am the girl who became an assassin to get revenge on those that do unspeakable things, I am the as never heard from after her parents were killed by their best friends.

I got up to get ready for training that starts in about half an hour.

I didn't take showers before I train because I would need to shower again in anyway. I brush my teeth and braid my hair into 3 braids, 1 at each side of my head and one on top of my head.

I got dressed into black tights and a black crop top. I knew that we would be training with swords today, so I tried to dress as comfortably as possible.

I snoozed my alarm about 4 times, so I knew that there would be no time for breakfast and if training actually goes well and if there was no meetings after training, then I would be able to eat a late lunch.

I walked out of my room, past the dining hall, and arrived at the gym not even 10 minutes later.

There was no one there so I decided to get in some fitness practice.

I ran around the gym, that could fit about 5 football fields into it, 5 times before I stopped to rest.

I heard clapping from behind me, I turned ready to attack, until I realised that it was Damien that was behind me.

Damien was handsome, with baby blue eyes and messy bleach blond hair, he was the prince charming to any girl any day, well maybe for every girl that is into boys.

Damien walked towards me with a proud smirk plastered on his face.

"I see that you are pushing yourself." He said once he was standing right next of me.

"Yes, well I almost died because I have been slaking of." I said, furious at myself for that.

"Yes, and that is why we are going to be training extra hard, but it seems that you beet me to it." He said with a laugh.

We sat in silence, while we waited for the rest of our team to show up.

I am very glad that I went on yesterday's mission solo, I could have gotten my team hurt or worse killed.

We waited for 10 minutes before the last of our team walked through the gym door, each of which were dressed in comfortable black clothes

"Okay now that everyone is here, we will start with 2 laps around the gym, speed walking, 2 laps sprinting and 1 running for your life. Oh, and if you are one of the last 10 to finish you will be on kitchen duty for the rest of the week."

We all replied with a yes sir, knowing that if we didn't help the people that were slower than us, we would be on toilet duties for the rest of the month.

Damien started speed walking first, we all followed after him, making sure that we spared our energy for the last lap.

I made sure that I was in the middle, I didn't need to worry what's happening behind me nor did I have to catch up with the group.

Once we finished, I was in the middle of course, no one got toilet duty but Jacks and his girl, Darla, was on kitchen duty because they slacked off to talk.

"Okay everyone ling up so that I can assign sparing partners for the next month."

Some were slower than others, but we did eventually get into a line.

"Darla and Fred, Georgi and Henry, Jack and Lilly, Jade, you are with me." Damien said, normally Damien didn't spar with us but since Luna, Lilly's sister was on a mission he didn't have much of a choice.

"Go to your partner and begin." He said when no one moved.

We didn't use real swords to train with, we never know when we would be attacked so we couldn't hurt our team on purpose.

Damien and I circled each other, looking for a weak spot, just because we were on a team it didn't mean that we knew all of our own or the others weak or strong points.

The moment I saw that he took two steps back with his right foot, I lunged thinking that it was a true weak spot. Damien saw an opportunity, instead of fighting he stepped back.

I didn't expect it, so I fell flat on my ass and he poked me.

"You're dead." He said, when I turned around, I saw the disappointment shining in his eyes.

"Again." I said determined.

We spared each other again and again and every time I failed, if this was a mission, I would have been dead 10 times over. By the time that training ended, I only managed to get Damien 2 times and I knew that he let me do it so that I didn't feel bad.

"Well done everyone, we are done for today. This gym is free for the rest of the day, so to those that want to continue practising, you are welcome to. Jade come with me." He said once we have been sparing for at least 2 hours.

"You need to work on your anger management problem." He said when all the people that was going to leave left.

Once everyone left the gym, Damien and I walked towards his office.

"You have a new mission." Damien stated when his office doors came into a view.

"And here I thought you wanted to talk to me because we were friends." I said sarcastically.

"Mm, no. Do you want it or not?" He asked me.

"Of course, I want it, but aren't you going to tell me what the mission is about first?" I asked

"Yes come." He said, opening his office door for me.

Once both of us were seated at his desk, he got a file from one of the piles on his desk, before handing it over to me.

"You will be going to Rapture, Blood lake, no.12" He said watching be closely. I recognised the town and street, it used to be my hometown and Ava's house was no.15 Blood lake.

"Wait, does that mean." I started to say but Damien cut me off.

"Yes, you are finally going to get revenge. Now we don't usually let one of our agents take revenge, but this is your last mission." He said smiling.

"Wait my targets are the Walkers?" I asked dumbfounded.

"Yes, we need information about a group assassin that has been killing innocent people." He said making a disgusted face, something about Damien that I will always remember is that he believes in justice.

"You have one year to complete this mission, if it is not completed in that time, we will sent you a partner whether you like it or not. Backup will be available at any time, any information that you get must be reported back to us immediately. You have to get close to their daughter, Ava, get close to her but please, please don't fall for her, for all we know she is in on her parents plans. Got it?" He asked.

I knew that he didn't play around with these things, so I only nodded.

"Go pack your things, you leave in two days." He said once he realised that I wasn't moving.

"Okay, thank you Damien." I said.

"Don't thank me, this is just business." He said, right before I could walk out the door.

"Jade just know that you will have to train on your own and please lay low while your attending school. We don't need too much attention drone to you. Okay?" He asked, getting serios again.

"Yes, Damien I know the drill." I said while leaving his office.

I walk to the deigning hall, knowing that I would have big problems if I didn't eat soon.

There weren't a lot of people in the dining hall as most of them already ate, packed their own lunch or are still busy training.

I ate some salad and ham, there were no junk food here as we all needed to stay healthy.

Once I was done eating, I left to go to my room, but luck is not always on my side as I ran into Luke.

Luke was your average dream boy crush, he had emerald green eyes, strawberry blond hair and a very masculine figure, but Luke was also a playboy.

"What do you want Luke?" I asked while searching for an escape route.

"I just wanted to say hello to the most beautiful little lady in the world, you." He said.

Luke has been trying to get me to fall for him since the first day that I got here, and no mater how many times I tell him that I don't like boys he still tries over and over again.

"Uhm, well I need to go to my room" I said trying to get away from him.

"I'll walk you." He said coming closer and closer to me.

"There is really no need, I can take care of myself." I said stepping back.

"Of course, you can but you could use some company." He said, smirking, as he took another step forward.

"Please Luke, just leave me alone." I said once my back hit the wall.

"I think that I can turn you striate with only one kiss." He said as he backed me further into the corner.

Damien came around the corner just as Luke was about to make a move on me.

I can honestly tell you that I have never felt so shaken up since my first mission when I was 14.

"What is going on here?" Damien asked when he saw the tears in my eyes.

"Nothing Damien." Luke said, anger shining in his eyes.

"It doesn't look like nothing to me. If you don't want me to contact your team leader then you will tell me what you were doing here." Damien said in a pissed of tone.

Luke looked at me, his eyes showed exactly how mad he was, he leaned down to my ear and whispered:

"Follow my lead or it's the end of you."

After he said that said that I felt something sharp digging into the skin on my shoulder. I realised that he had a dagger with him.

"You need to work on your anger management problem." I remembered what Damien said.

I nodded my head, Luke thought that I agreed with him, so he turned his attention away from me.

I took that opportunity to properly look at my situation.

He positioned the dagger were no real damage could be done except maybe a scar obviously.

I looked at Damien, he wasn't paying any attention to me. I knew that he thought that I am weaker than a man because I'm a girl.

He was trying to get me out of this situation, he was trying to fight my battles for me again.

I repositioned my feet, I didn't want to move very fast in case Luke realised what I was going to do.

Once my feet were in the right position, one of my feet were positioned right in between his legs and the other not far from his right foot.

I moved as fast as possible without him realising that I wanted to overpower him.

I remembered that I had my mission sword strapped to my thigh.

I reached for it with my right hand, the dagger was being pressed further into my shoulder the angrier he got.

I hadn't looked away from Luke since Damien showed up, I knew that he would try something, and I had to be prepared for it.

When I was finally able to grab by sword to pull it out of the straps, keeping it on my thigh.

I moved my feet closer together until I was able to lock my legs around his.

I twisted my legs as hard and fast as possible, with my legs locking his in place, I had him in the perfect position to easily overpower him.

I ripped out my sword and held it to his neck, I could feel how the dagger broke the skin on my shoulder.

Luke was so shocked that he didn't do anything, but his grip on the dagger didn't get any looser in fact it got tighter as he pushed it further into my arm.

I held my sword tighter, but I didn't press it harder onto his neck, I knew that I couldn't kill him without Damien's approval. Even if I didn't need it, I couldn't kill him, I would rather see him rotting away knowing that I put him behind bars.

The moment I looked at Damien, Luke took the opportunity to overpower me.

I had to act quickly, I may not be able to kill him, but I can injure him.

I got into a sparing position, ready to fight but before I could do anything Damien already shot him.

I turned to Damien, angry that he fought my battle once again, he didn't even give me a chance to try and handle it myself.

"Your welcome." He said as he put his gun away.

"No, I am not welcome." I said furious. "Once again you fight my battle, once again you think that I am incapable of protecting myself.

"I don��t think that you are incapable of protecting yourself, I know that you can't." He said.

I knew that he wasn't lying because he was looking me straight in the eye.

"So, this is the reason why I'm always on info missions, this is the reason that you are always my partner when I have to go on a real mission." I said, laughing with tears in my eyes.

"Yes, the day that I took you in, I knew that you would never be able to give a mission your all. You never realised that you have never killed anyone on your missions, it was always your partner.@ Damien shouted as he walked closer to me.

"No, I have always given my missions my all. Yes, I never killed anyone but that doesn't mean that I am incapable of protecting myself. Yes, I never killed anyone, nor do I want to, but that does not mean that don't want justice. I shouted back.

"Jade, you had the chance to kill Luke but instead you looked at me." He said softly.

"Haven't you been listening to me? I may have looked at you but that does not mean that I didn't want him to get what he deserved, even if I didn't want to kill him, by putting him behind bars, I would have gotten my justice." I shouted.

"And this is the reason why this is your last mission." He shouted before walking out of the room.

"I couldn't believe what he just said, I always thought that he was proud of me when I made progress, but I guess that I was wrong once again.

+++

I decided that I would prove him wrong, I may not be able to kill someone, but I can bring Justice, my way.

I go to my room so that I can pack, I also decided that I would be leaving earlier than planned.
