Academy Assassin Novels & Stories

While my father flops like a fish on the floor, I take his weapon, kick him in the head and reach for Taryn. Ava slumps against her wall, her eyes wide with shock. However, she looks unhurt, so I leave her and check on Taryn, Blood flows around both women like a pool. As an Assassin, I’ve seen a lot of death and have even caused some of them, but I have never felt fear as I do at this moment. Squatting down, I pull Tamsyn off Taryn.

The man who once lived for my breath was now the predator stalking it, his every movement a jagged, lethal promise of my end. We were on the open observation deck of the Spire’s flagship, suspended thousands of feet above the burning Iron Shore. The wind howled around us, tearing at my silk gown and the Sovereign tactical gear that now encased his body. Dante moved with a sickening, mechanical grace, his obsidian arm glowing a sterile, blinding white. He was "Assassin 01," a ghost with no name and no mercy.

Finally, I turned to look at him. I let my gaze trail over his taper fade, the messy blond hair that refused to behave and those stupid innocent blue eyes that made people trust him instantly. He had the face of a saint, smooth lines, sharp cheekbones, a mouth that curled too easily into a smile that could make anyone feel safe. But Olek wasn’t safe. He was the Syndicate’s golden boy; the number one assassin, top of the kill board for ten damn years. I was fifth, which wasn’t bad considering I’d only been in the game for six years.

In the private room with her, I could see her whole body trembling when I touched her like she hadn’t been touched in years. Just as she was about to press the drink to her lips, my handler, Silas, spoke to me through my AirPods to pause the mission I immediately took the glass from her and poured the contents over my chest, and she thought it was part of the act, not knowing she almost drank herself to her own death. Just in case Silas needed me to complete the job subsequently, I left a card with my number on it and with how harsh her breathing was and the desire in her eyes, I doubted it would go unused

What team? “What other team? I thought it was originally you, the Mountains and Tati?” I ask, becoming confused. When Alina chuckles. “She means my little helpers.” We all look at Alina and Cass, and her team chuckle. Little helpers? Little … Oh, for fuck’s sake. “You mean your little assassins?” I say and Alina winks at me. I groan internally. Just great. Alina funds an assassin academy. One of their best is known as Ghost. Ghost is a woman and was high up in the ranks of the Bratva. Not much is known about her, just that she is one of Alina’s best. Then one day she hung up her guns.

2020, July 28th (Imperium, Warlanda) "Delish," she said, dragging a blood-red nail across Aaron's chest. "No wonder Nate and Gray couldn't bring Keira home. Welcome to Imperium, Prince of Assassins." She held out her hand for him to kiss. Aaron looked at it and considered his conundrum for a moment. To kiss the assassin in front of him's hand was to risk life and limb getting caught by Keira. They had him surrounded. What exactly was the thing to do here? He felt sure whatever he did, he'd get it wrong.

"Trained assassins pretending to be students." Vera stared at him in shock immediately. This was the first time she was hearing something like this. Assassins inside the academy? Why would something like that even happen And why would they target her? This academy was supposed to have the best security in the world so far, especially since the prince was still in this batch of the students. She became more confused because Raymond was actually explaining things to her properly instead of insulting her for once. "They infiltrate schools to gather information and attack students," he continued. "That's why I killed them."

For the day that somehow, she is trying to avoid and is scared of, if finally knocking its presence in front of her face. Now with a smile of satisfaction the President as he needn’t have to explain further the plan that was set from long ago and the very beginning, he informs adding the minor details. “As the Academy states, outstanding and unique students in all fields of academics, sports, rhetorical, talents and most especially their name, blood, and ability. Shall be taken under your wing as their adviser and guardian. The Academy makes sure that their abilities will remain a secret and secure pouring forth with their mission to keep everything in balance. I just found an extraordinary

They seemed to have a pretty good understanding of each other. Meaning that the 'missing' partner was going to implement the known rule of acting from different fronts. They were just two, but they had him surrounded. He knew they wanted him to turn before they killed him, an excellent move if he could say so himself. In that brief moment when his balance was slightly compromised, it would be perfect for any of them to attack. Plus added to the fact that when he turned he would be able to see the assassin who wasn't hidden was brilliant. This was meant to disorient the blond haired boy, who would be expected to be surprised at the new entry and respond with the reflexive yet cliché question,

“The academy was founded in the year of death by our master, ruler of hell and the king of all demons, Lucifer. He stuck a deal with the heavens. Demons, selkies, fae, all creatures from the underworld could walk amongst humans, on a condition. They survive a year long training in his academy and pass the culling.” The crowd burst into loud screams at that. “There are no rules here,” Alstra looked straight at me. “And only the strongest survive.
