The Legend of the Immortal Assasin

Daniel arrives at school. Fear is all over his face. He cannot believe that Nathan would do something like this. He looks around for him. He runs from class to the playing field, from there to the cafeteria and from there to the men’s loo, but no one has seen him, ”No wonder he doesn’t make any friends, so he can disappear after killing someone, and no one will notice.” He murmurs under his low tone.

Daniel keeps on looking for Nathan in the hall. Emily sees Daniel walking by, she looks at him, and Daniel walks by her without

even noticing. “Hey, dreamer!” she says and grabs him from the

shoulder.

Daniel stops and looks at Emily and laughs, “Hey, Em! Sorry I

didn’t see ya.” he continues laughing.

“Yeah, Thank God I was not standing in the middle,” she says in

a sarcastic tone with open arms.

“Sorry, Em. I am just in a hurry.” Daniels apologises.

Emily can see all the worry on Daniel’s face. She rubs his shoulder and asks, “Anything I can help you with, Honey?”

”No, you can’t,” Daniel replies immediately.

Emily hesitates, “alright, alright, I won’t.” she replies.

Daniel hugs her and says, “I am sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. I don’t want you to worry, okay. I shall handle it.”

Emily nods, and Daniel leaves.

He is still looking for Nathan, he passes by the principal’s office and sees the principal talking to a tall man wearing a suit. He

ignores and walks by, but then he listens to the man mentioning Nathan’s name. He immediately stops and listens.

The tall man says, “Nathan won’t be able to come to school today. His grandmother has passed away, and he has to go to Florida for a few days for her funeral, I hope you understand.”

Daniel sees the principal nodding. “His grandmother died?”

Daniel thought to himself.

Emily walked to her class after Daniel left. She entered the class and found herself in a seat. She sat and took out her book and started reading. Suddenly the door closed. Emily looked around, but she could see no one. She calls out, ”Who is there?”

Nobody replies, and then she feels an arm coming on her back. Sliding onto her belly and holds her. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. Ethan pulls her next to his chest and kisses her cheek. Emily laughs and turns to face Ethan. ”Hey!” she says with a smile.

“Hey to you too!” Ethan replies while looking into her eyes.

They were about to share a kiss when the door opened, and they both immediately let go of each other. Emily turns and picks up her book, and Ethan finds a chair for himself. Soon the class is filled with students. A boy tries to sit next to Emily, but Ethan blocks the seat with his hand. The class goes on. Emily and Ethan are sitting next to each other, holding hands. The bell rings, and they both head outside.

They are having lunch outside on the lawn. Sitting next to each other when Margaret comes walking and sits next to them. She put down her bag and takes out a bag of chips. She offers the bag to both Emily and Ethan. They both deny the offer, and she continues munching. “Did you guys hear about the guy who died last night?” Ethan asks to start the conversation.

“Yeah, they are saying an animal killed him,” Margaret replies.

“This is the first time we have heard of such killing.”

“True, maybe my mum can tell me more about what happened,” Emily says.

The three are discussing the event as Claire walks in. “What do we have here? Three mini cops discussing a man’s death. Do we have any lead chief?” she says while looking at Ethan.

Ethan laughs, and Claire sits down. ”You guys are joking about it?” Margaret says.

“Relax, Honey, the guy died, we can’t do much about it can we?”

says Claire.

“I have heard the guy was a dealer,” Ethan says with excitement. “What are you proposing?” asks Emily.

“Nothing off the chart, just that we stop by his trailer and see what our friend has left for us. What do you say?” Ethan says.

The girls look at each other, and Claire says, ”I’m in.”

Margaret looks at Claire with shock and exclaims, “CLAIRE! A guy

died there last night. It is not safe.”

“Margaret, we’ll be all right. Relax. The guy was alone we are going to be a group of five people.” Claire says, “and that raises the question, where is Daniel?”

”I saw him this morning; he was in a hurry, didn’t even talk,” Emily says while taking a chip from Margaret’s bag.

”I’ll find him and tell him about the plan,” Claire says and then

turns to Ethan. “What is the plan, by the way?”
