A face you'll never see

        I awoke when I began to feel something start to shift on me. I open my eyes to see the most beautiful sight in the world. Nyx was asleep with her head resting on my chest with her mouth open slightly. While she laid there I could see the morning sun’s light catch her form, and turning it into a masterpiece. I could feel my heart rate pick up as I watch Nyx sleep, but all good things have to come to an end.

“Ravvy you have a visitor.” I look to my right to see Ady there with the biggest smile while she watched us.

“Tell them to give me a moment.” Ady nods as she blinks away. I look back to Nyx to see her still sleeping, so without waking her I pick her up and carry her towards my room. I open my door to see my room was still in disarray with some maps and other trash on the floor. I sigh as I try to navigate my way through the minefield. As I make it to my bed I see that my bag is still there, so I pick it up and toss it out of the way. I lay Nyx gently down on my bed while I pull the covers up. I was about to turn around but a can caught my foot, and I fell to meet the ground. Acting purely on instinct I rush my hand forward onto a clean spot. I stop my momentum with my hand as I look back up to Nyx to see her still sleeping. Wow, it must take a lot to wake her up.

I slowly lower myself to a clean...er spot out of the way of the minefield. I make my way to the door but look back to see Nyx on my bed happily asleep. From where I stood it look as if the was a diamond in a room of gravel. She just looked so beautiful while she slept, yet the trash was horrible. I start to clean as much as I could without make a sound so I could meet the person at my door.

After a little cleaning my room look less like a minefield and more like a teenager’s room. Satisfied with my work I made my way towards the door wondering who it was. As I make it to the door I look out the peep hole to see a shady looking man with a trench coat and sunglasses. I mentally laugh at the man for being so obvious about what he was doing, but I needed to get serious. I press a button on the side of my door to allow me to talk with the man without opening the way in.

“Can I help you?” I watch as the man jumps out of his skin as he watches the door. He soon rightens himself as he approached the door.

“Yes, is this the place I can find Mr. Raven.” I watch as he nervously shifts from foot to foot. I close my eyes to slits becoming suspicious of the man.

“Depends on who’s asking.” I watch as the man reaches inside of his jacket to withdraw an envelope.

“I heard that a new assassin has made himself known. I would like to acquire your services.” I slowly pull back from the peep hole to unlock the door. I open the door to see the man flinch as he looks at me. Luckily I'm still in my clothes from last night.

“Come in.” I move aside waiting for the man to enter. He takes a shaky step forward to then hurry inside as if he was afraid of me. Oh wait, he is. I grin as I shut the door. I turn around and start to walk towards the living room when a voice stops me.

“Ravvy who is it.” I whip my head the the A.I giving her a glare.

“Ady, I need you to shut down for a little bit. This is a business meeting.” I turn and head to the living room, not catching Ady sticking her tongue at me. I make my way into the living room watching as the man darts his eyes around looking at everything but me.

“So.” The man jumps at the sound of my voice.

“What is the job that you want me to do?” I watch as the man grabs the envelope and hands it to me. I slowly reach out taking it from his hand as he clears his throat.

“In the envelope you will find all of the mission’s information, and if you have any questions ask me now.” When he first started to speak his voice was shaky, but as he continued to talk his voice became more stern. I open the envelope and pull the papers out. Scanning them I come across times and places, for what I guess is the target. On the last sheet was a piece of paper with a picture clipped to it. The paper listed the criteria of how to kill the target. I then look to the picture to see a young woman with a purple coat and a darker purple mane with a light pink stripe going through it. Under the picture was the targets name, ‘Twilight Sparkle’.

“So you want me to kill a princess? And not only that. You want me to sneak into her castle and plant false information to frame her of being a traitor.” I watch as the man begins to sweat. I remember back to when I first got here, I remember hearing a story about Nyx and some things call the Elements of Harmony. I grin knowing that this was a chance for revenge for Nyx.

“How much are you offering?” I wait as the man take out a old version of a cell phone and dials a number. After a short conversation between him and the person on the other end he hangs up.

“My boss says that he will give you 13 million bits and protection from anybody who would try to harm you.” I think it over in my head trying to find any loopholes in the job.

13 million bits isa lot, but where would I put it. I’ll worry about it later. The target is a princess and a young one at that, so not much experience with assassinations. The protection will come in handy later when I become more well known. I’ll take this job, but I need to know some things first.

“Ok, I’ll take the job.” I watch as the man relaxes in the seat.

“I need to ask some things though.” The man seemed to understand as he nods.

“First, how long will the protection last? Second, I need some materials for a project of mine. Last, can you but all of the money in my bank account?” I wait for the man finish his response.

“To answer your first question, you will have our protection as long as you're alive and continue to do jobs for us. For the materials, yes we can acquire any that you need. As for your last question, we will transfer all of the money straight into your account. Anything else?” I shake my head as I stand up and wave the man over. I walk towards my door opening it for the man. I watch as he walks out of my door looking back at me.

“My boss expects her to be dead by the end of thee month.” I give him a nod as I slowly close my door. I turn around walking towards my room while I callout for Ady.

“Hey Ady you can come out now.” I hear a buzzing sound come from behind me. Without looking I continue walking.

“What’s the job this time Ravvy? Can I come this time?!” I glance behind me to see Ady with a hopeful expression.

“It all depends on when and where I can get a good shot on her. If we are in a good spot I’ll think about it.” I could almost hear her squeal behind me as I make it to my room. I open the door the see Nyx standing in the middle of my room undressing. My eyes are drawn to her upper chest. I face heats up as I see her taking her shirt off. She was about to work on her pants but then sees me. Her eyes go wide as she silently screams at me. I just couldn’t take my eyes off of her alluring orbs. They looked as if they were shaped by a god. They looked just the perfect size, and they also looked sort but firm with little cute pink nipples. My thoughts were cut off when I see her extend her hand while the door when sailing into my face.

“Ravvy! Are you ok?” I keep my eyes glued to the ceiling even as I feel the blood flowing from my nose. I wait there laying in a small pool of blood until my door opens again to show a angry Nyx. She looks away from me as she steps over me and walks to the kitchen. I pull myself up feeling the blood start to flow again. I put my hand up to my nose as I use the wall to stand up. I make it into my room still holding my nose. I walk into the bathroom as I remove my hood. I look into the mirror to see blood covering all of the lower half of my face. I start up the sink washing all of the blood off while I grab a towel. I walk back into my room heading for the closet. I reach inside to grab my bag and throw it on my bed. I take out everything in my bag starting with my rifle. I lift up my right arm to inspect my hidden blade for cracks or rust. Satisfied I move on to my rifle looking to see if the Nano-space capsule was still working. I then moved on to inspect the rest of the rifle. After inspecting the rifle I move on to my other equipment.

A hour or so later I finish inspecting my equipment and move to my closet. One of the papers said that she spend most of her time in Ponyville, so I need to wear my prototype. I move all of my clothes to reveal a chest. I open the chest to find my prototype active camouflage cloak. The cloak looked just like my regular cloak but this one has a face mask to conceal my face when I activate the cloak. I reach for the cloak and put it on as I callout to Ady again.

“Ady?!” I hear the buzzing sound behind me again as I walk over to my desk.

“Yes Ravvy?” I open a draw to reveal a keypad. I enter in the code as Ady looks to see what I’m doing.

“You’re going with this time. I need you to maintain your primary connection in the brothel while you’re with me. Before I unplug you I need you to tell Boss that I need more food up here for Nyx.” I wait for a couple of minutes until Ady appears again with what looks like a copy of my rifle.

“I’m ready to kick some ass boss.” I nod to her as I unplug her from the main hard drive, and then plug her into an access port in left gauntlet. I watch as Ady appears again but in a smaller form, and the good thing is that she can’t move away from me in this form. I pack all of my stuff back into the bag except my rifle. I press a black button on the bottom of the rifle. I watch as my rifle begins to compress itself as if a black hole was inside the middle of it. Soon my rifle collapsed into a small little cube big enough for me to slip it down my pant’s pocket. After I pack all of my equipment I head towards the kitchen, and what I see stops my heart (again). Nyx was in a little pink apron cooking, and from the smell I can guess stir fry.

I walk up behind her and take a big inhale trying to take in that delicious smell. Apparently I surprised Nyx because with my little stunt caused her to tense up sending the stir fry right into my face. I scream as the boiling hot vegetables comes in contact with my face. I jump back trying to rid myself of the hellfire on my face. I finally manage to wipe all of the water from my face as I sit on my ass. I notice Nyx holding up a towel trying to offer my it. I graciously grab the towel as I smile and nod to her.

“Thank you.” I wipe my face preparing for the talk I was dreading.

“Listen about earlier.” I watch as Nyx’s expression turn a little sour.

“I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for walking in on you. It’s just that I had a business meeting and forgot you were here. Oh wait, I never told you what I do for a living did I?” I only watch as she shakes her head.

“I’m an assassin.” I watch as her eyes grow wide in surprise. I laugh at her action.

“What? Did you think that I worked in the brothel?” Her cheeks took on a redden hue as she smiles sheepishly. I laugh even more as I watch her blush. Soon I get my laughing under control while she sits there blushing. I clear my throat as I start to calm down.

“I wanted to ask if you have forgiven me?” I watch her shake her head. I sigh as I stand up and grab a sheet of paper and a pen.

“What can I do to make it up to you?” She sits there for a minute before taking the pen and scribbling down her thought. I pick up the paper after she’s done to have my face grow hot.

Take me out to dinner.

I look back to Nyx to see her blushing like no tomorrow. I lay the piece of paper down as I head towards the door mentioning her to follow me. As we walk to the door I tell her about the job. She went wide eyed when I mention who the target was, but she stops us before we reach the door mentioning to a pen. We stand there for a couple of minutes as she writes. Soon she hands me the pad.

I would like it if you didn’t kill her. I need to know you won’t kill her!

“I’m sorry I can’t promise that, but I will try. If I don’t come back Boss and Night will take care of you. Ady will also be in contact with this room, so if you need me go to my desk and tap four times.” I turn around grabbing the handle but was stopped when I feel some arms wrap around me. I turn around to feel a pair of lips press into mine. It caught me by surprise so much that I fell on my ass with her still kissing me. I sit there for what feels like forever as I hold her close to me. I pull back regrettably but I need air. I look down to see a red face Nyx panting while she still hugged me. I watch as she grabs the pad and begins to write feverishly.

You will come back to me, or I swear to Tartarus that I will hunt you down and kill you again.

I pull her even close as I run my hand through her mane.

“I promise that I’ll come back.” I stand up with her still hugging me. I pull her away just far enough to look into her eyes.

“Don’t worry. I have something to come back to now.” I lean down to kiss her again, but I was stopped by Ady.

“I’m sorry to interrupt but we need to go Ravvy.” I look down to see Ady tapping her foot on my arm. I sigh as I give Nyx one last peek on the lips. I pull away from her and turn around from her heading out of the door. I wave to her as I walk down the stairs. I soon as I turn the corner I drop my hand and walk faster. I make it to the door and open it to see Night on the other side.

“Hey Night I need to ask a favor.” Her surprised look softened when I call her name.

“S-sure Raven. What do you need?” I point behind me mentioning towards my room.

“I’ve got a assassination and I need someone to keep Nyx some company while I go kill some people.” Night nods as she slips past me heading towards my room. I continue towards the front door when I was stop by Boss.

“Raven you just got back. Where are you going now?” I glance over my shoulder to see the boss lady walking down the stairs.

“I’ve got to kill some people, so I’ll be back by the end of the month if not sooner.” I turn around heading for the train station.

I buy my ticket from the man in the booth as I make my way to the train. I walk up to the platform just as the train pulls up. I look around feeling the cool Stalliongrad air before I step onto the train heading for Ponyville.
