* 1 week prior*

MISSION START

I leave the cell and head to the subway. I think about my plan to assassinate my target. A parade will be commencing today for the king, and RFF knights will be used as the escort. It’s not known if they will be using horses or cyber cars, but it doesn’t matter to me. All I need is one shot….

1 moment…

1 second….

My glitch ability can easily be forged around objects, and make things appear cloaked. In today’s case my sniper rifle will be for today’s use. I brought 2 weapons with me. My sniper rifle and my assault rifle. The plan is once the knight’s approach downtown I’ll be in the central building already prepared. Now its 8am, at 12am the main target will be in my direct line of fire. If I can somehow get to that office building, and set up on a office floor floor, my plan may prove successful. Theres only 1 problem at the moment though, how is a gritty assassin like me, suppose to walk in a office building and not stand out?

Tiana – SHOPPINGGGG!!!!! Oh my god lets go shopping! *Hugs glitch*

*Cool music stop*

Glitch - Jesus Christ, I forgot you were here……

Tiana - Well… Let’s get to it idiot.

Remember it’s both of our heads if we fail this.

Glitch – Yeah, I’m aware of that…*hmm shopping huh? That wouldn’t be such a bad idea*

So yeah, princess I never did this shopping thing before where should I go?

Tiana – Lets go to Gersace!!! *smiles*

Glitch – GERSACE? I don’t have money like that! Are you crazy, I’m trying to assassinate someone! Not attend a ball.

Tiana – Not for you silly… For me. I might look tom boyish, but I’m a pretty good actor *tilts head*

If I knew about this I would’ve been prepared, but my target already died hahaha.

She might be on to something. Even if I haven’t fully seen her face yet, her body is appealing. If she doesn’t get in my way, she could be useful on this mission… To get into the office building, clearly, we must act like some form of employee. This office building is home of the snobbiest, richest, stuck-up assholes in this city. It’ll be a miracle if we even get pass security. I take her advice, and we proceed to the fashion district.

Tiana – OH…. MY …. GOD. Ahhhhh I can’t believe I’m here.

Glitch – I can’t believe I’m here either… *rolls eyes*

Tiana – OK ok… well I need a dress.

Glitch – Why do you need a dress for?

Tiana – Lets be real…even if we buy clothes, and look to par, do you really think, they’re going to let us just walk in there? HAHA uhm NO…

Glitch – So what’s your plan detective Conan.

Tiana – Uhmmm like what I always do... Ima fuck security *SMILES*

Glitch – you’re going to WHAAA?!!?!?

Tiana – All men are the same…How do you think I get my blood? Men are so foolish. All you must do is call them cute one time, and they’ll do anything you want.

Glitch - *Why do I even care? *… Yeah, yeah good plan!!! Let’s do it. I was thinking of just bribing them, but that’ll will work… I guess?

Tiana – *Rolls eyes* OK yea…So anyways does this dress look good on me.

When she came out of the fitting room she looked stunning. Her tight black dress wrapped around her body, and ended right above her thighs. The dress left her shoulders exposed, and her face in clear view.

Now that I fully see her face, I start freeze up…like I always do..

Tiana – * walks out dressing room* Soo HOW do I look…

Glitch – Youu..you look nice.. *looks away blushing*

Tiana – THANKYOUUU * Hugs glitch *

When she hugged me for the first time, I felt 2 soft balloons against my chest. Her warm body against her soft black satin, made her feel like a stuffed animal…. I start feeling my pants move, and I need to get her off me... ASAP

Glitch – OK ok.. Tiana ..Its time to let go now….

Tiana – I just.. I JUST… haven’t hugged someone in so long ya know….

Glitch – ok I understand BUT… * starts looking around* But uhm don’t you think you should let go now.

*I start to get harder and harder, I can’t control it at this point*

Tiana – Watchu say ??? *looks up at me*

I look at her face as her bangs moved to the side. Her pink eyes… reminded me of cold pink lemonade, the old ladies in pig would make. I stared at her for a brief moment… Other than my mother, ive never been hugged by another female before

And then it happenes..

Tiana – Whats that…… *looks down*

Glitch – OH NO !!!!!!!!!!!

Tiana – AHhHhHhHhHhHHhhhHHHH !!!!

*Everyone in store stops and stares*

Tiana –

* punches glitch in the face and slams him*

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, FREAKIN PERVERT!!!!!

Glitch –* I fall to ground…. all I see Is stars *

After I buy my outfit, and makes me pay for everything, (of course!), we hopped back on the subway to central. At this point we both have on, business casual clothing. My gun is still concealed and invisible, by my sorcery, and kept it in my bookbag. We get off the subway and walk to the surface. Were greeted with a beautiful fountain, with a monument of the king in the middle. Cyber cars are everywhere, and people are in preparation for the big parade.

Glitch – Jesus do you see all these police? They really brought the whole department out huh?

Tiana – Yeah, looks like the escape plan may be pretty rough…

I see the central building in the far-off distance. It devours the sky and eats up everything surrounding it. As I start to get closer it towers over me. Not because of its height, but because of the duty that must be done today. As we get closer, we start to see the entrance. Theres so much foot traffic in, and around the building, it’ll probably be pretty hard to stick out. We approached the entrance, then something the unexpected happened.

Glitch – Okay you ready Cess?

Tiana – Yeah Let’s do this!

We walk up to the door to approach the security guards…In the corner of my eye I see someone. WE walk over the entrance carpool lane, and the face becomes more distinguished. I see this girl with raven black hair and red eyes. For a brief second, we look at each other. I don’t know if this is a coincidence., or just the alignment of time, but I get a sickening feeling, That I might be getting followed.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Tiana - *Glances over to me* What’s wrong? Did you see something?

Glitch – OH no No I’m good …don’t worry about me im okay *Gives thumbs up*

Tiana - *Face turns serious* It was that girl in the taxi huh?

*My heart seemed to skip a beat. My breathing slightly increases*

How did she know it was related to that person? Was she watching me too.

Glitch – How... how did you?

Tiana – I felt her presence before she even got close. Most assassins and sorcerers can only sense power. But Us vampires can only sense the emotion of someone. This is good for us vampires, because people of different natural emotion, have different taste of blood. That’s why blood after sex is so delicious.

Glitch – Well not that its important or anything, but what was that person’s emotion you felt?

Tiana – She’s hiding something. Something big. I don’t think that person is some random taxi person. I’m assuming if you have some form of connection with her, she’s definitely some form of narc.

Glitch – Narc??? HAHAHAhahah *awkward laugh* good thing I don’t know her, am I right??

Tiana – *stops and get in front of me* If you know her tell me right now.

* teeth and claws begin to grow*

Glitch – NO No I don’t…it’s all good, okay? Let’s continue. LOOK weir here *smiles*

We reach the door and approach security.

Tiana – Stay here let me go first

* Walks to security *

Security guard – How are you doing today, do you have your ID card? *Scans her with security wand*

Tiana – OH yes!! Let..let me find it.

Glitch – “Jesus Christ, how I this gonna work, she doesn’t, even have pockets. you gotta be kiddin me”

Security guard – Please hurry up, you’re holding up the line.

Tiana – *Bends over in front of guard * Oh my goodness I think its in my shoe…Silly me *smiles*

* Hands security guard a white card *

Security guard –* Looks at me in the distance*

*Gestures me to come *

* Scans me with wand*

As he scans me, the metal detector goes off. I almost forgot about my weapons being on my back. Even though they’re invisible, it doesn’t mean they’re not physically there. As the detector goes off, he starts to laugh.

Security guard – Hahaha, don’t worry about it kid, it goes haywire sometimes just ignore it.

As I walk away, I do a big sigh of relief… We managed the impossible. We completed the first part of our mission. I walk up to Tiana in wonder, what on earth did she hand him, and what did it say.

Glitch – So yeah…. what was that?

Tiana -That’s princess magic * kawaii face*

Glitch – No seriously…what did that piece of paper say.

Tiana – Do you really want to know * starts laughing*

Glitch – Uhm yea?

Tiana – It said “After your shift, me and that person right there, will do anything you ask if you let us pass”

Glitch – WHAT THE??!?!? Are you serious?

Tiana – Yup *smiles*

Glitch - AND HE AGREED TO THAT??!!?!?

Tiana – Yup …. *Gets close to my neck* He has good taste….

Glitch – Huh?!?!?!

Tiana –*jumps away* Okay let’s do this!!!

As I start to hear the parade starting, I start calculating in my head, where the correct position would be to attack. Theres 122 floors in this building, But I say floor 47 – 51 would be ideal. The plan is, we enter every ideal office, acting like apprentices. Then we find an ideal window in an office, Tiana will wait to pull a fire alarm in the hallway, once the office is clear, I will seize the exact moment to take the shot. It’s easier said than done, but failure is not an option here.

*1 hour later*

Glitch – Okay so, we checked offices 47, 48 ,50 and 51. It looks like office 49 has to be the perfect window.

Tiana –….. Can we hurry up…. My feet hurt; I hate wearing girly stuff like this *pulls off heel* Ughh

Glitch – I don’t know the exact time he’ll be in clear view, but we have at least 20 -30 min to stall time.

I need you to stay by this fire alarm while I talk my way into that office.

When I text you, I need you to pull the alarm.

Tiana – Roger that!!!!

I approach the office door and knock on it. A very big guy opens it rapidly.

*Telephones ringing*

*Everyone talking on the phone arguing*

The hectic atmosphere overwhelms me.

Boss – WHO ARE YOU, WHAT DO YOU WANT!!! DON’T YOU SEE WEIR BUSY HERE!!!!!!!!

*Telephones ringing*

Glitch – Hey uh im the new guy I start today *smiles*

Boss – WORK STARTED 4 HOURS AGO!!!! AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COME HERE NOW??

Glitch – Im sorry …I uhhh? Forgot.

Boss – Now that I think about it, WHO are you? I’ve never interviewed you kid!?!?!

Glitch - *fuck he’s catching on to me* You did it a while back *smiles* uhhh you don’t remember?

Boss - *looks at glitch sideways*

*looks*

*looks*

*looks*

UHH SCREW IT!!!

* Pulls me in office by tie*

SIT HERE THIS IS YOUR NEW AREA!!!!

I NEED 4 PAPERS DONE BY 6 YOU GOT THAT!?!?! NOW GET TO WORK

I wanted to snap that man’s neck, just from how he talked to me, but, I looked to my right….. I saw the most beautiful landscape I’ve ever seen. I see the entire skyline… I see the cave entrance to pig in the very far distance. I see the highway that stretches round the whole city. The vague grey metallic wall, that wraps around the outer boundary. The beach over in the east…

I wondered what my mother was doing. I wonder if she has any idea, that I’m working to change our lives forever…

A middle aged guy with a stack of paper sits next to me. He seems to be in a rush. He looks over to me and catches me looking out the window.

Office guy- “Hey what’s your name.”

Glitch - My name? my name is…. *Starts to look around*

*Looks at pencil*

Pen….

*Looks at computer*

Penter *smiles*

Yeah! Penter my name is penter !!!

Office guy – Punter? like football??? That’s an interesting name*!!

Glitch - *ima just go with it* Yup punter that’s my name!! *smiles*

BRUUmMMMMM

thdddd

cruhgggg

*Loud booms in hallway“

Office guy – *looks behind* What the hell was that noise? Well anyways my name is Tokio. You must be new huh? I been here for 10 years.

Glitch - 10 years wow you must love it here!

Tokio – Everyone in this office probably thinks that, yeah sure…. But I remember, I was like you once

Glitch – huh?

Tokio – I would look out that window and dream. Dream of being free like those birds over there. I would look at those walls and wonder what’s beyond. Isn’t it weird we learned in school there’s a vast world out there, but we aren’t allowed to leave this place? “Where chosen”

BULLSHIT *bangs fist on table*

Glitch - *I have no idea because I never been to school* Yeah, I guess….

Tokio – One day Ima drop all this paperwork, and run out there to the world. And be exactly who I want to be.

Glitch - *looks out window* Yeah me Tokio…me too…

As I look down, I see police cyber bikes, pulling around the corner. The main street center is in perfect view, down below... As they pull around the corner horses follow. The number of horses increase as the make their way further around he corner….

This is the moment.

I quickly grabbed my phone, out my pocket, and text Tiana.

“Tiana PULL IT NOW THIS IS IT”

No response

“TIANA IM A READY, PULL IT DOWN RIGHT NOW”

No response

I proceeded to call her numerous times, but no one picked up. The most crucial moment of my life ( Our lives) up until now, was depending on her. Theres no way, she could just abandon her post like that. Something must’ve happened.

15 minutes prior

*Footsteps walk slowly up the stairs*

* The Footsteps suddenly stop*

A person is standing visible at the end of the hallway

Tiana – Took you long enough…… *digging in ear*

*Person chuckles*

Tiana - *turns around *

Who are you anyways….

Person – Sadly… I’m not after you right now.….

*electricity starts to swarm around her hands*

so, get out of my way…….

Tiana – And what if I don’t?......

*Teeth starts to grow*

*Nails get longer*

Person –

THEN YOU DIE RIGHT HERE BITCH!!!!
