"Yes, what about it?" Emily felt the need to shrink back, to hide, to runaway, but sadly the cell was far to small for that.

Wait does she know he was supposed to stabby stab her?//

Not yet.//

Okie just making sure//

"Well…" Rory bit his lip, trying to stall, give himself more time, "I was kinda… supposed to…… kill……. you?" Rory pointed at Emily with both hands clasped together, head slightly tilted, and a shy and apologetic expression on his face.

"Kill?" Emily stood and stomped up to Rory, "kill me!?" She threw her hands up to keep from hitting Rory instead, "and why? Who do you work for?" She felt a slight shake go threw her, fear. Fear that she'd fallen in love with someone ment to kill her.

Rory raised his hands, back against the wall. He looked down at her, "Just, calm down! I'm trying to explain!" he frowned. Man, he was gonna get it, "So. I am part of a group of assassins. No one knows who the boss is, but we know he's, well, the boss. Of course, a small amount of us are trying to find his identity," he was just stalling now.

Emily formed an O with her mouth. of course, an Assassin. She felt her past trying to catch up with her, and she desperately didn't want it to. "So…why then?" She asked slightly calmer now. "What made you…not kill me?"

"I mean…" Rory hesitated, "You were always really nice, and you…" Rory sighed, "I don't even know to be honest," he shook his head.

Emily looked on expectantly, "then why not have left me? You could of said you finished the job…why, why bring me here when it'd have been so easy."

"Ok. Well," Rory sighed, he didn't know himself, how could he explain it? "You see. Uh, I dunno," he said plainly. Rory started to pace back and forth, his outfit swishing and flowing behind him, "I don't even know why I decided to save your life, to be honest. If I hadn't done it, someone else would've, but no! I had to lie to save your sorry butt and, gah!" Rory shook his head and stopped rambling when he noticed, "Look, I lied to this supposedly super powerful being, so play the part. If you don't, both our lives will be taken."

Emily had a frightened look in her eyes, "your leader would kill us both?…what was the lie?" She narrowed her eyes at the door wondering if it was unlocked, and if she could make a run for it.

Rory sighed, "Well, I kinda said you had this talent that would benefit the…" Rory followed her eyes, "Even if you did get out, you'd probably be killed on the spot," he remarked.

Emily quickly snapped her gaze back to Rory, "what no I wasn't thinking…" She trailed off, "what kind of talent?"

"Uhhh…." Rory pressed his lips together, "Welp, I gotta go, see ya!" Rory quickly slipped out, bolting the door. He leaned, back pressed against the door. He slid down the door and looked up. What had he gotten himself into?

"Wait!" But it was to late. Emily slumped down, what kind of talent? What lies had he told to keep me alive? she wondered, But at the same time she felt a twing of anger at him.

Rory sighed and stood up, telling the other two to go back to guarding. He walked out, taking a breath of fresh. He didn't want to be near the same room as her. He walked through the forest, not able to get Emily out of his head.

Emily paced in her small cell annoyed that she was stuck, unable to leave. "So am I going to be let out soon?" She called threw the door, "I'd really like to not die in here of boredom."
