Maven

I dropped down letting my boots hit the ground. Where were you? I know you're here somewhere. I can smell your stench a mile away.

I walked down the alleyway. Come out, come out wherever you are you scum. You have a date with me. I took my knife and scrapped it along the side of the building. The scraping sound radiated through the empty alley.

Then I saw him. He stepped out into the middle of the alley way. I pulled my knife back and stood there.

"Look what we have here. I heard you were looking for me. Little girls shouldn't be out this late. They might just get hurt," he hissed.

I looked at my nails. Damn, I needed a manicure badly.

"Did you hear me?"

Of course I heard you, you twat but you bore me.

"Maybe I should show you how to respect your elders," he said as he charged after me. He lunged at me and I leaned over making him fly past me. I stood up and turned to him. He got up.

He spun around, "oh, you want to play like that?"

I held up my hand and waved it at him to come at me. He charged me and I grabbed him by his neck, stopping him in his tracks.

"People like you, deserve what you get," I hissed as I held him in my hands. "Putting your dirty hands on little girls. You are the worse."

I started to squeeze, making him gasp for air, "who are you?" His words came out as a whisper.

"I am Maven." I took my hand and held it up releasing the blade in my glove and shoved it into his chest. Then I took it and pushed it up, turning it as I went, blood oozed from his chest and mouth as he choked on his own blood.

Then I ripped the knife out and let go, allowing his body to drop to the dirty ground with a thud. Good, that's where he belongs. With the dirt and vile cement

I heard movement from the distance and took off disappearing into the night. I needed to disappear. I was in another's territory.

I heard about Memphis. He didn't play. If he caught you, you were as good as dead. I prefer to be alive thank you very much. Now to head home and contact my handler.

Memphis POV

I dropped down and walked towards the body that lay upon the dirty alleyway. She had been here. I knew she had been.

Maven had been elusive to me. It was a year ago, I stumbled upon targets being eliminated and realized there was another assassin amongst us. Blade, Crash and Burn were covering other territories.

We were waiting for Jazz to make her appearance. For seventeen years, things had been quiet. I figured it was just a matter of time before she reared her ugly little head our way.

I needed to keep my family and the other's safe. That was my main goal but I also needed to find Maven. Soon, we shall meet.

I climbed through my window and shut it. Quickly I removed my wig, mask and outfit, stashing them in a spot in my floor. Covering it quickly, I knew this would not go over well with my parents.

I can just see it now, oh hey mom and dad, I'm Maven, you know the unknown assassin around town and how was your day? I scoffed at the thought.

I picked up my phone and text Angel, letting her know the job was done. She text back that the money had been transferred.

It's funny, when I started doing this, I was just trying to get rid I scum. She found me and offered me a job. Now I get paid to get rid of said scum. It's a win, win situation.

I got cleaned up and ready for bed. Tomorrow starts senior year. If only people knew who I really was. That's okay, the less people know the better.

I would really hate to kill them for knowing my identity. Like good little assassins, our identities must remain totally anonymous.

I climbed into bed and reached over turning off the light. Let's hope this school year is better than the last one because last year blew monkey balls.

Here we go.....the first chapter of Maven. Get ready for twist and turns. Not only do you have to figure out who Maven is but there is other stuff coming that is going to be interesting.

Memphis is on the hunt for Maven. Jazz is coming. Maven has to elude Memphis and eventually come face to face with Jazz.

Plus there are twist and turns along the way.

Did I mention that we have some new characters being introduced? No? Yep. You're going to meet them as well. Plus I have another idea for everyone.

You'll find out as the chapters progress.

Now, what do you think of Maven?
