15 Chapter 15 (1/2)

I woke up extra early the next morning, so I could go out and buy the hair dye I would need. I also bought the purplish eye color. When I got home, I set to work. After about an hour, I look completely different. My raven black hair is now chocolate brown. My eyes are no longer the piercing blue that they used to be. Now they are closer to a purple light that is covered in ice. I smile at myself in the mirror. I could hardly recognize myself. I pack my bag with everything I will need. I put the purple eye color in the bottom of it and add everything else on top, like my poison infused lipstick and the antidote that I take so I don't poison myself.

All the makeup that Wilker had made especially for me to use. All of them infused with something that would help me. I put in simple pants and a shirt, knowing that I will have to wear what the stupid uniform again. I look myself over one last time, then head to the guild. When I get to the gates, one of the guards smiles. ”I am sorry ma'am, but you aren't going to want to go in there. Pretty girls like you shouldn't be in rough places like that.” I go to step by him and say, ”Luckily pretty girls like me know how to fight.” I use the slightly mystical voice that I had trained myself to speak with.

The guard shakes his head. ”I am not letting you in.” I want to just shove past him, but I don't. I lower my voice and speak in my regular voice, ”You will let me know if you know what's good for you. I am in disguise, and if you ruin that, let me just say, you will wish that you had never crossed my path.” I frown at the weak threat. I knew I could do better if I really thought about it. They had use to just come to me. The guard nods and let's me past. I walk into the guild, making sure to remind myself to use the mystical voice.

As I am walking through the halls, some new assassin walks up to me. ”Hello there. I don't believe we have meet.” I smile up at him. Time to see how good this disguise is. ”No. I don't believe we have.” I say reaching out my hand. Over his shoulder, I see Zachery, staring looking confused. I ignore him and look back at the assassin in front of me. ”Kiya Farsaye.” The assassin takes my hand, but instead of shaking it, kisses it. ”A beautiful name for a beautiful woman.” I look over his shoulder again, and Zachery is coming over. He has a smirk on his face, and I know right then, he knows it's me.

I think back to yesterday, he read my file. He knew the name. I silently curse myself. The assassin in front of me is about to say something when Zachery cuts him off. ”Newbie move it. I think I have to talk with this gem.” He let's his eyes roam over me, and there is nothing I can do because I am trying to protect my cover. He knows it to. The original assassin scoffs. ”Excuse me, I am on a higher level then you, you aren't aloud to boss me around. It is quiet the opposite actually, so why doesn't you leave.” Zachery cringes at the statement. He had obviously not worked up the ranks yet.

”Just because I am working my way back up, doesn't mean I don't know more than you.” He holds up one finger, his pointer one. ”I can kill you with just this one finger. Now, I suggest you leave before I prove it.” The new assassin glares the walks off. When Zachery faces me again, I slap him. I still use my mystical voice, as I speak. ”I have never seen someone be so rude in my life. Show him some respect.” I see the other assassin turn and watch. Zachery looks amused as he puts one hand on his face, right where I slapped him. ”Looks like we have a feisty one.” I raise my hand to slap him, but he catches it with the hand from his face. ”Not going to happen princess.” He says. I try and use my other hand, but he catches that one to.

I can see the crowd forming around us, so I can't use the simple counterattack to this move. Zachery leans in and kisses me, right on the lips. ”I will see you around, Kiya Farsaye.” Then He turns and walks. A bunch of assassins surround him. I push through the crowd, grab his arm, and pull him through to the other side, then start to pull him down the hall. He doesn't even have time to make a comment, and I shove him into a random room and slam the door. It is a bathroom. ”Go figure.” I think. He looks around in shock. ”What the?” I hiss at him using my normal voice. ”You know who I am. What was that out there?”

He smiles. ”Kiya, I think something is in your throat, you sound different.” I quickly zip forward, grabbing his arm, spinning it, and locking it behind him. I hear the wince he lets out. ”Don't even play that card with me, you know who I am. So, stay away.” I pick up my bag and walk out. I storm off towards Wilker's office, but I fix my demeanor before walking in. I also make sure to hop back into my disguised voice. I walk in and sit down in a chair; I purposely don't pick my usual one. Of course, he doesn't look up, so I have time to drop my bag behind a different one.

Before looking up, he says, ”What do you want?” I smile to myself. He thinks I am one of the other assassins. ”Didn't I arrange a meeting for this time.” He looks up with shock. ”Excuse me miss, how did you get past my guards?” I almost burst out laughing. I decide to see how long I can play this. ”What guards?” He looks shocked. ”What about my other...employees?” ”They all just stared at me.” His jaw dropped. Then he tilted his head. He was thinking. ”What is your name?” I know he had my report, so I just skip the question. ”That doesn't matter.” He sits back, clasping his hands in front of him. He knows.

”I think It does Miss Farsaye.” I roll my eyes. ”Took you long enough.” ”How did everyone else take this. Anyone else figure out who you are?” I nod. ”I had to threaten the guards to get in, and Zachery noticed me almost immediately.” Wilker laughs. ”Not surprised. That boy can pick you out of a crowd even if you are disguised as a juggler.” I nod. ”Sadly. It really sucks when I have to keep a cover and he is around.”

Wilker nods. ”Anyway, I called Garret in over an hour ago. He said he would be down in an hour. He will be here soon.” I smirk at him. ”Funny. My partner, Avi, will be here soon to.” Wilker rolled his eyes. ”Just sit still and wait.” I waited for about five minutes before Garret enters. He was looking back and saying one last thing to someone. ”Okay. I know. I will wait until she leaves.” When he walks in, he connects eyes with me. ”Hello. I heard your name is Kiya?” I nod. He sets his bag down and walks over to shake my hand. ”And your name is?” I ask. ”Garret.” I smile ”Nice.”

He goes to sit down, and I see the look on his face when he looks at the chair, I usually sit in. He sits in the one on the far side of it. Wilker nods to him. ”Garret. Nice of you to finally come down here.” I stare at Garret in shock for a moment, then remember, when there are other clients in the room, we never fall to a knee. I shake the thought away and look back at Wilker. ”Uh, sir. Shouldn't we send Kiya out before we start speaking about out newest...job?” I can't help but let out a laugh. ”Garret why would the details of this trip be hidden from me. I am going on it.” Garret look's confused and turns to Wilker.

”Why isn't Jaycie coming with me? You are sending me on” Wilker opens his mouth the try and stop him, but Garret keeps talking. ”this mission with some random girl who probably doesn't even know how to use a blade. Are you trying to punish me because I accidentally made Jaycie cry the other day?” I stood up and walked behind Garret crossing my arms and putting them on the back of his chair and laying my head right next to his ear, so I only have to whisper for him to hear me.

”You don't want a beautiful woman like my coming on this trip with you? I am offended.” He jumps up and back's away. ”I don't care if you are offended. I don't want to take you on this trip. I want to take Jaycie.” I was about to tell him it was me, but I decided to keep him in the dark a while longer. I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his neck. ”Oh, but I am sure I will make better company. You can play the hero card when we get in trouble and be my prince in shining armor.” He gently but effectively unwraps my arms from around his neck and backs away again. ”No. Stop. Stay away from me. I don't want you near me. I care to much about Jaycie to let her walk in here and see a random girl hanging off my neck.”

My eyes go wide. Then I feel laughter welling up inside me. But I also feel so happy and something else inside me. I let the laughter out. It is a small laugh. ”Garret, it is me. I am Jaycie.” I speak in my regular voice and he looks confused. ”I don't believe you.” I smile and roll my eyes. ”Fine, ask me something only I would know.” He looks at Wilker, and he is just sitting back, smiling, and watching. He thinks for a moment. ”When is the first time I kissed you?” I am so shocked by the question; it takes me a second to answer. ”Umm...that would have been right before my fight with Farren. You healed the split lip I had.” He smiles. ”You are wrong, but you are also right.”
