Chapter Text
Blair's POV
I walked back through the alleyway I was in, avoiding the view of the security cameras, the body of my last target lay slumped against the far wall, in a blind spot, where the camera's couldn't see them. I pity the poor civilian who will eventually end up discovering the body, however, it's not my problem and its not supposed to bother me, after all, I'm not exactly supposed to feel anything towards people in general, I was trained not to. Although there are a few people I feel things towards, those I trust the most are the only one I can properly express my emotions towards. Who are these people that I trust the most you ask? well, there are a few the first would be younger sister Jessica, rather predictable I know, after all, who wouldn't trust their own sibling? The second is my best friend Sara, Sara and I have been friends since I have been free, which was around twelve years ago at this point. The last person whom I trust is my fiancé, Jason. Jason and I met as children before I was taken away after I was freed he was the only person who still treated me the same as they did before, even Jessica treated me slightly different. Jason and I started dating in our last year of high school, Jessica seemed ecstatic, yelling about how she had always 'shipped' us or something like that.
After I left the alleyway, I walked along the street back towards the agency. The agency was a large building, that from an outside perspective, would look no different than an ordinary office building, however, the further in you get, the more you realise just how fucked up the building and the people who work there are. I entered through the large front door and was greeted robotically by the two receptionists at the front desk, as I walked by one of their eyes turned neon blue, signifying that they were using their special contact lenses to scan me to determine whether I work there. their eye only flashed for a second to confirm then the proceeded to go back to facing the front doors, ready and waiting to creep out whoever is unfortunate enough to walk through those doors next
I enter my office and speed walk to the bathroom, once inside I proceed to remove any and all things that I had used earlier to disguise myself. First to come off was the wig and the wig cap, revealing my long black hair, Next, I removed my contact lenses which were brown and revealed my sapphire blue eyes. Then I scrubbed my face clean of makeup and changed my clothes from the short black dress I had on to some jeans and a hoodie. Leaving the bathroom I tossed all of the clothes in the bathtub which I filled with hot soapy water and a little hydrogen peroxide to make sure they were completely clean and could not be used as evidence later. I sat down at my desk and sent the report of my last victim to my client, almost immediately after I saw the money transferred into my work account. I glanced down at the time on the corner of my computer screen and saw that I had finished up earlier than I had expected, the time only being half-past eight and I decided that I would go home early for a change, after all, I haven't had much time to spend with my fiancé lately.
I got up and grabbed my work bag, slung it over my shoulder and promptly left the building. I got in my car and drove home, only to find my sisters car in the driveway, which wasn't that odd, Jason and Jessica had been friends almost as long as Jason and I had. When I entered the house I had expected the usual chatter and laughter that usually happens whenever Jessica is here, however, the house was almost completely silent, apart from the news show on the television, telling me that my last victim had already been discovered and the media had already begun making theories about the mysterious 'Relentless'. The name Relentless had come from a different victim a while back, that particular victim put up quite a fight and had gotten more than a few hits on me, he managed to escape the first time and informed the police of the encounter, thankfully at the time I was disguised and the victims description did not match my actual appearance, the victim was not lucky enough to escape the second time.
I turned off the tv and listened for any sounds in the house, I ended up hearing the springs of one of the couches squeak upstairs and wandered up there to find my sister and fiancé. Just as I began to open the door I heard part of their conversation.
"When are you going to leave that freak, she needs to understand that neither of us actually like her and we deserve to be happy without her"
"I'll leave her soon princess, I mean after all who could actually love a heartless monster like her"
I began to feel the numbness that I felt around everyone else set in, however instead of the empty numbness that I would usually feel this one felt both heart-breaking and enraged as well. I could tell that I had quite obviously decided to trust the wrong people, I could feel tears begin to well up in my eyes, whether they were of sadness or anger was unknown to me, I tried to fight them back and it was then that my sister- no Jessica someone whom I cannot even trust does not deserve to be called my sister- looked up, directly meeting my eyes, I could see the panic filling them up. Jason realised that Jessica was no longer looking at him and looked up to see me as well once again I could see the panic fill his eyes, only there was not only panic but also a touch of fear.
"Blair!"
Jessica sputtered, playing with a strand of her brown hair and obviously trying her hardest to think up an excuse, during this time Jason had calmed himself down and tried to put on his most charming smile.
"Hey honey, what are you doing back so early?"
How could someone be so shameless? you were talking about leaving me for my sister two minutes ago and now you dare to call me honey? Jason looked into my eyes as he said this, although the longer he stared the more he realised that there was no way he'd be getting out of this.
"Yeah sis, how come you got off work so early? don't you usually work until later"
Unlike Jason, Jessica's eyes never met my own, instead, she opted for glancing frantically around the room as if hoping that there would something on the walls that would save her from the predicament that she got herself into.
"Please stop pretending, it's disgusting and only serves to make you seem more pathetic than you already are"
After I spoke Jessica's eyes seemed to gain a crazed look, her eyes gleamed in the dull light in the room and a smile, that probably would have seemed horrifying to the average person, grew on her face.
"Stop pretending huh?"
she stopped talking for a second to let out a giggle.
"shouldn't you be taking your own advice Relentless? I mean it's not like Jason was lying when he called you a heartless monster, I mean, after all, you have killed millions of people, haven't you?"
I let out a short breath through my nose in place of a laugh.
"My job and I are two separate things, I am not my job and my job is not me, at least I'm not a two-faced bitch who would betray her own sister 'cause she got horny at some point"
Jessica blushed red at this, it may have been from embarrassment, anger or perhaps a mix of both. Whatever it was her eyes became more crazed and the smile on her face grew wider. It was at this point that Jason decided to get involved he wrapped his arms around Jessica's waist and began trying to calm her down. Whatever he was doing only seemed to enrage the girl more as a minute and a half later she struggled free from her arms and lunged towards me, aiming to punch me in the face, however, she didn't seem to realise that as an assassin you need a certain skill level to survive, as she seemed shocked when I caught her fist and proceeded to twist her are until I heard the satisfying pop of her shoulder dislocating itself. Jessica fell to the ground screeching in pain.
Jason was not happy with this development he too charged towards me intending to attack me, I simply sidestepped and watched him run himself into a wall, there was a loud bang as his body collided with the wall and he shook his head and charged towards me again, I grabbed his arm and slammed him down onto the couch that they were both previously sitting on, breaking the couch and most likely his spine as well. He didn't attempt to get back up after that, preferring to lay there groaning in pain.
"Okay, so here's what's going to happen, Jason, you're going to pack all your shit and leave my house and you can take your little girlfriend with you, you're both going to stay silent about my job unless you want to end up like the rest of my victims and you're never going to try to interact with me again, do I make myself clear?"
Neither of them answered me so I decided to make sure that they knew who they were dealing with. I bent over, picked Jason up by the throat and gave him the sweetest smile I could muster.
"I said do I make myself clear?"
I watched as his eyes filled with fear once more and he rapidly nodded his head.
"I would like a verbal answer 'honey'"
"Y-Yes, I promise we will listen to a-all your demands"
"Good"
I threw him back towards the couch, turned around and left the house, I was not going to stay around to watch him pack up all of his stuff. I got in the car and drove towards one of the safest places I knew, my best friend Sara's house. I arrived outside her house ran up and knocked on her door. Sara opened it a few seconds later and immediately invited me inside. Sara has known me long enough to be able to tell what I'm feeling, after inviting me inside she sat me down on her living room couch and went into the kitchen to make me some tea. She came back a few seconds later and handed me a cup of my favourite black tea.
"What's wrong Blair? you usually don't seem this upset"
I explained to her the events that had just occurred, obviously leaving out the parts about me being an assassin and the whole time Sara sat there and listened with an empathetic look on her face. The further through the story I got the worse I would feel, I'm not too sure why but talking about this now seems to be twisting my stomach, it got to the point where I actually felt physical pain over this and grabbed my stomach.
"Are you feeling okay Blair? You seem like your in a bit of pain there"
"I'm fine Sara, my stomach just hurts all of a-"
I was cut off as a violent cough tore its way through my body, my hand shot up to cover my mouth only to pull away and see a red substance I was very familiar with, blood. I looked up at Sara and she was smiling a wicked smile that seemed out of place or her kind face, it was then that I had realised that she poisoned me.
"Did you lie the tea that I made especially for you Blair? I hope you did it's my own blend after all"
I glared at her and she laughed a crazed laugh, she looked me dead in the eyes, her normally kind soft eyes had changed into something empty, something familiar that I would normally see in the mirror every day.
"You know Blair, I had always loved you, but you never seemed to notice that did you? Instead, you went and fell for that meathead Jason, Who never even loved you, how sad"
I glared more, unable to talk as blood was rapidly filling my mouth.
"I decided that if I wasn't able to have you, no one else should be able to either, but now I kind of regret it, I should have waited a while longer, since Jason messed up anyway"
She gave a sigh, walked over and lifted my chin.
"Oh well, I guess we'll just have to be together in the afterlife, huh?"
I spat the blood onto her face.
"A-Afterlife or no-not, I wil-l never lo-love you"
She glared and snatched back her hand as if she were burned, she turned her back to me and went to leave the room. I decided that I wasn't going to let her live after she killed me and shakily reached into my hoodie pocket to grab my gun. I aimed as best as I could while dying in the floor and shot a bullet straight through her head, she crumpled to the ground with blood flowing from right between her eyes and a minute later my vision went dark.
