CHAPTER 12: HIDE

"It was always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other

betrayals came easily."

- Cormac McCarthy

The death of the three Assassins spread like wildfire. This only left me to stop stealing goods in the storage room because of so many guards surrounding the place, taking all night to look out for the beheader slaves who killed the five assassins.

Because according to them, the death of the three high-rank assassins that I killed last night has been a huge blow in the head. It is because those three were considered as the best picked from the High Rank assasins, which I whole-heartedly disagree with.

For me, the two Low-Rank lovers are much better in terms of fighting. I didn't even get a hard time killing those three last night which made me roll my eyes heavenwards.

Ok, given the fact that those three, are all intoxicated, which I grabbed as my chance in killing them easily, I actually heard from other assassins, that High Ranks, are supposedly immune to this type of situations. They are freaking High Ranks, for pete sake! They should be good, in those kind of situation and give me a good fight! HMP.

Also according to them, those three are on the list to be an official Assassin. No wonder those three have a big head. they were boasting on that kind of skills, which made them so irrational.

Oh well, I almost forgot! All the assassins, inside this inferno are the same. Irrational and inhumane. The true definition of a monster, and devil combined in one personality.

I also heard that they were running for Full Pledge Assassins. That's why I couldn't help not to wrinkle my forehead, roll my eyes, and smirk. Why? because they don't even have a single characteristic of a good assassin. I admit getting a hard time dealing with the two Low Rank than dealing with them. Such a waste of time.

We are eating smoked sweet corn together, while Kurt is out getting a pale of water in the near river for our stock. When Josh hits me in the head out of the blue.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU DUDE?" I ask him annoyed.

He then answered my remark with a 'are you crazy?' look, while eyeing the smoked sweet corn.

"Don't use your hand while getting the corn. You'll get yourself burn" he said, before giving me a stick.

I roll my eyes heavenwards before getting the stick on his hand.

I put the corn in the stick for each of us and handed it to them.

I made a face while watching Josh eat his part of the sweet corn. I hope he gets choked while eating! Hmp.

I can now imagine how he'll look while getting choked. And if that happened, I would ready myself to give him a hard hit on the back, and pretend I am just helping him out.

I was laughing at my own thoughts, when I saw the two staring at me…

"Why are you chuckling Rin? Do we have dirt on our faces?" ask Sean, who are looking at me, with puzzled look on his pretty face.

"Nothing. I just thought something funny. Hahaha" I told them, while trying to stop myself from laughing so hard.

"Would you mind, sharing that funny thoughts of yours, to us?" Sean said, with knitted brows and wrinkled forehead.

"Nah! Don't mind me Sean. What I just thought is not really worth your time." I dismiss him.

"Let her be Sean, it must be something really worthless. You know her. That girl is sick!" Josh annoyingly said, while biting on his part of the sweet corn.

" Nyeh nyeh nyeh!" I made face, at Josh before rolling my eyes heavenwards.

I absent-mindedly bit my sweet corn in hand in a harsh way, because of annoyance. Completely forgetting the fact that it's still hot. So when I bite on it, I accidentally burn my lips.

"Ack!" I exclaimed.

Sean took the corn on my hand, as soon as he saw me getting my lips and tongue burn because of my absent mind. He blew on it, making it cool enough before giving it back to me.

Such a sweet little thing he is.

This small gesture of Sean, really made my day. He is so sweet, unlike someone I know. Tss.

I then look at Josh, who seemed satisfied on what happened. Jerk!

"Careful Rin, it's still hot," he said smiling sweetly at me. Before patting me in the head.

Sean is better than Josh for so many reasons. He may not be as smart as Josh, as playful as Kurt, but he's the sweetest among those three idiots. Most understanding, and most rational. He is such a husband material. Unlike Josh who is like a stump, emotionless, and a hard head jerk who get easily annoyed for some pity things. I won't get shocked if I found out in the future that this guy became a bachelor for the rest of his life. Hmph!

I saw Josh looking at me, so I give him dagger looks, which he answered with a playful smirk. This jerk always gets on my nerves! Grrrr!

I really don't know what's with Josh, and why he loved to bully me! I mean…

I don't remember doing anything wrong to him. Maybe he's jealous because Sean pumper me? Or is because he's envious because I am a girl, and he's not? But he doesn't look gay to me! Maybe he's just born grumpy and lacked of love and care from his mom.

I think that's the best reason why…

I nod my head while looking at him, giving myself an imaginary pat for a good reasoning.

"Serves you right." He teased that's why I throw sticks on him, which he dodges effortlessly.

My action made him laugh hard. I was about to punch the guy in front of me when Kurt come to our den's in a hurry. He no longer has the pale of water in his hand.

He's breathing is uneven, and the word fear and panic is written all over his face. What the hell is happening?

" GUYS! FUCKING HIDE SEAN!!! HIGH-RANK ASSASSINS ARE LOOKING FOR HIM!" He said in a panic.
