Description
Its was cold, he felt cold, his body shivered involuntary. What have he done. The Black and blue hairs boy asked himself. He looked at his blue sword named Frostbite. But more importantly, he looked at the dark red blood that stained his blade. It was his parents blood. The young assassin dropped his blade into the snow causing the white snow around it to turn red. Why did it have to be this way? The assassin asked himself. Wiping the tears and blood from both of his newly scarred eyes. Why?Part One, The Cold Child
It was a cold December night. Probably the coldest night ever to hit the small village. the wind seem to gust around a small shrine on the outskirts of the village. In front of the shrine, a hooded huntress stood, she wore a purple cape with a hood, and a mask covering her mouth. In her hand was medal with a snow flake on it. The medal glowed with a blueish aura.
"Yes I understand," The huntress said, she grabbed her bow and began walking to the village.
The power of ice is too unstable to be left alone, it must be suppressed in a shell of a body,
The only body that could contain the power of the Frost Emblem is the human that is born on the coldest day of the year...
The purple huntress approached a house, where a mother was holding her baby close, The mother sobbed as she gazed at the child. The baby was born today and was slowly dying as the frost bitten wind rushed through the small village. The baby already had hair, it was a rich black color. The snow crunched under the huntress's boots as she walked up to the porch. The mother hugged her son close to her. Her bright green eyes fogged over with grief and tears. The huntress spoke in a smooth calming tone.
"I can help your son." was all she said. And instantly the mother handed her son to the huntress. The huntress told the mother to get some more blankets and some warm milk. She told the mom the son was going to live. The mom's electric green eyes shinned with hope as she went into the house. The huntress look at the small child. Who shivered as the cold winds gusted around the medal in the huntress's hand. She pressed the medal to the baby chest and murmured a spell under her breath. The Frost Emblem then began to sink inside the baby's flesh. The child squirmed at the new sensation. Part of his black hair started turning blue, but only a little .After the Frost Emblem sunk in, the only thing that showed it existed was a blue snow flake marking on his chest. The child's eyes the opened for the 1st time, they were a bright electric green, just like his mother's. The huntress looked down at the son. She couldn't help but feel a little flutter in her heart as the baby grinned at her. At that moment the mother came back, she noticed that her son's eyes opened for a 1st time. Tears streaked her face, her son has lived. She thanked the huntress over and over.
"So whats his name?" The huntress asked. The mother actually thought her son was going to die, she hadn't came up with a name.
"You name him," the mother said. "you saved him. I think you deserve to name him." The mother smiled. The huntress's heart warmed at the offer.
"Oh I couldn't, " she said to the mother. but the mother shook her head and told her to name him. The huntress looked at the sky. Memories of her brother who passed away in a great war, flooded into her mind. "Alec," She spoke. "You, should name him Alec." The mother smiled.
"That sounds like a perfect name," she looked down on her newly named son. She held Alec close to her body. The mother wanted to thank the huntress one more time, but she was gone.
_____________________________________
Alec age 16.
Alec awoke to the sun beaming down in his face. He groaned and turned away, he didn't want to turn 16 today. Turning 16 meant he would graduate from the Assassin's trainees, and would be an assassin... Alec climbed out of bed, knowing he had to get this done, Its what his father wanted. He put on his blue and purple tunic shirt and his black spiky gloves and began heading toward the stairs. Alec tried to pass his little brother's room unnoticed, but failed.
"Alec! Hey Alec!" Conner called, running after Alec. Alec took a deep breath, trying to force a smile.
"Hey champ!" Alec said ruffling his little brother's wild blond hair. His 13 year old brother laughed.
"I was uh, kinda wondering if you would teach my some assassin survival stuff..." Conner blushed. "I wanna be an assassin just like you Alec!" He said his orange eyes lighting up. Alec grimaced. No you don't... Alec thought to himself.
"Sure!" Alec smiled and ruffled his little brother blond hair again.
"Cool!" Conner shouted happily and started running down the stairs, two at a time. Alec felt like an icicle just stabbed his heart. Did I have to do this? Alec thought to himself. Of course he did, what ever your parents wanted you to be, whether it was a framer, healer, or assassin, you had to do what your parents wanted. Alec muttered a cruse word in a language he didn't even know and began to walk down the stairs. Looking back at his room for probably the last time.
~*~*~*~*~
(after school)
Alec slowly walked home, his blade Frostbite in his hand. He took a deep breath. This was it, the final part of the assassin's test. The only way he could pass was to kill his family. Why? Because assassins travel everywhere learning information about all other villages and towns, even castles. and capturing an assassin's family to force the assassin to come out of hiding and spill information about the castles and villages was how many assassin found their death. So the Assassin leader made the rule official you can only become an assassin if you killed your family, it was ether that, or they send a group to kill you and your parents and you, because you already knew all the assassin's secrets. And the Assassin General thought it would be better for the child or teenager to see there parents a final time Of course Alec's family understood that, his father was a retired assassin. Well almost all of Alec's family knew what had to happen... all except Conner, his little brother...Alec shook his head, clearing the thoughts that haunted him since this morning. Alec took a huge breath and tighten his newly acquired violet scarf-cape around his neck, and bolted into the house kicking the door open.
Both of Alec's parents were standing in fount of the kitchen table.
"Ready of your final test, Alec?" Alec's dad said gruffly. Alec nodded numbly, and raised his icy sword.
"We love you Alec." His mom said sweetly, only to mask the sorrow in her voice. She pulled out two hunting knives from her boot. Each was as long as her forearm. His dad the pulled out a sword thats been reinforced with dragon's scales, it glowed with a blueish greenish light. With the weapons drawn, each person in there fighting stance, the battle started. Alec raced forward with neck snapping speed. He jabbed his sword at his father's chest but the dad was too quick and shielded himself with his dragon blade. Sparks flew as the two blades crashed against each other. Thats when his mother; with the same blinding speed dragged her knives over Alec's left eye making a long X mark over it. Alec shot backward, trying to dodge another blow from his mother. But he backed up into is father's blade. The blade cut through the back of his shirt and made a long gash over his over his flesh.
Alec hissed in pain and jumped in the air. He closed his eyes and the blade part of his sword glowed a light blue. Icicles formed at the blade, Alec swung his sword with enough force to cause the icicles on the blade to rain down on his parents. The mother ran behind the father for protection against the shower of ice. Alec the pointed his sword downward, and closed his eyes. And right when Alec felt the ground coming closer, he lifted his sword and slammed it down on his target with the force of a snark bite. Alec heard a sicking crunch and a horrid shrieking sound. Mother. Alec opened his injured eye. His blade went through his mother's skull, causing blood and questionable matter to spill all over his black boot and sword. Alec's eyes widen at the sight. He slid forward till he landed on his knees. He drop his sword with a clank! and vomited, His body shivered and shook as another violent tremor gripped his body. Alec the collapsed on his chest, gripping his stomach, breathing harshly. Thats when his father grabbed Alec by the back of his tunic shirt and shook Alec.
"The fight is not over Alec!" His father spat in Alec's face. "What would've happened if you were fighting a bandit and not me?" his father pressed. "The bandit would have killed you! Now finish this fight!" he shook Alec again. I few tears fell from Alec's green eyes as he thought of his mother. He looked into his dad's orange eyes, Alec knew he couldn't let his father down. Or the general assassin would kill him, and all he trained for would have been nothing. Alec nodded.
"I will continue." Alec said will hollow words. His dad smiled and his dad hardly ever smiles. His father let go of him and Alec pulled his sword out of his mother's cracked skull. His father held his dragon blade up and they both charged at each other, there blades crashing together multiple times, there moves were smooth and agile. If it wasn't battle to the death, it would seem like there were dancing. When finally the last blow was done. Alec hit his father with the blunt side of his sword causing his dad to become off balance and his dad fell to the ground. Alec pointed his sword at his dad, as he stood there, victorious.
"I'm proud of you son, you are indeed a worth assassin." His father said. And Alec used his sword and slit his dad's throat.
"I love you too dad." Alec muttered. He then looked at the stairs. It was time to train his brother. Alec slowly stepped up the stairs, he clutched his side which had been slash during the fight with his dad.
~*~*~*~*~
Alec winced at every step and it wasn't because of the pain, it was because ever step brought him closer to his little brother's death.
Alec finally reached his little brother's room, he reached out and turned the door knob. Conner saw the door began to open and he got up to open it fully. When he noticed Alec covered in blood. Alec wince as he saw horror in his brother's eyes.
"Alec what----" Conner gasped but was cut off by Alec's hand.
"Mom and Dad are dead." Alec said bluntly. "I killed them," Alec muttered and looked down unable to look his brother in the eyes. Hot tears slid over Alec's hand, he knew his brother was crying.
"Wha...why?" Conner sobbed, as Alec dropped his hand.
"Because.---" Alec was cut off by an explosion.
"What was that!?" Conner yelled.
"The Assassin general told me to make sure I forget about all my memories," Alec stared. "He said to forget about my past and my home."
"So you killed Mom and Dad?!" Conner screamed angry and frustrated. Alec nodded.
"And the house is burning down as we speak." Alec said. Conner gasped. Alec looked around quickly and then at his brother how seemed to seem so broken...so lost. Alec cursed at himself and grabbed his brother. He could already smell the smoke coming up stairs. Alec held his brother tight and jumped out his brother's window. Glass shattered everywhere like a crystal rain. Most of the glass cut Alec, for he protect his brother in arms. (lol My Chem lyric) Alec rolled as he fell to the ground, making sure he got more of the impact then Conner. Then he heard a pop! and felt a sharp pain shoot from his ankle. Alec hissed in pain, and released his grip on his little 13 year old brother. Conner springed to his feet and stared wide eyed at his brother.
"What the...hell?" Conner whispered. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Conner growled. Alec filched at his brother's cuss word. It took alot to make him mad enough to use a cuss word.
"Run," Alec muttered. Conner looked confused.
"What?"
"Run! get away! if anyone sees you they will kill you! Changed you name and never come back her!" Alec screamed, saying that hurt more then the scar on his eye, the pain in his foot, and the gash on his back. Conner's orange eyes widen and tears streaked his face. He took a few steps back and ran into the dark night forest, disappearing behind the trees.
Its was cold, he felt cold, his body shivered involuntary. What have he done? The black and blue hairs boy asked himself. He looked at his blue sword named Frostbite. But more importantly, he looked at the dark red blood that stained his blade. It was his parents blood. The young assassin dropped his blade into the snow causing the white snow around it to turn red. Why did it have to be this way? The assassin asked himself. Wiping the tears and blood from both of his newly scarred eyes. Alec looked behind him as his house burned. He could smell the faint smell of burning flesh. Then Alec heard the crunch of boots on snow. He turned in front of him. The assassin General stood in front of him, the general held out a badge, it official made Alec an Assassin.
"Would you like to change your name Master Spike?" The general asked. Alec shook his head. "from this day forward, Alec Jay Spike is know as an Assassin. Here's your badge and card. the badge gives you an automatic license to kill bandits and theifs. The card is so you can walk into a village, town, or castle without being labeled as a bandit thief or and X-sin." The general said. Alec nodded. The general then transformed into a shadow and slid through the trees. Alec put the badge and card into a pocket on his blue tunic shirt which is splattered with blood. Alec then put his sword back in its case and looked at his now burnt house and then in the direction were Conner ran to. He sighed and ran in the opposite way that Conner chose. But Alec promised he will find his brother later in his years, and he will take care of his brother again. Conner was his only family that was alive.
