The Secret

Holly cleared her throat rudely.
"Uhm, hey."

"This is Holly Bristol?" The Assassi Lord asked.
"Yes my Lord." The assassin replied before leaving with the other assassins in the room, leaving Holly alone.

"Holly, that's me." Holly muttered, looking around.
She wondered why she had been brought here.

The Assassin Lord sat on a rather bare throne at one end of the circular room, and watched Holly.
"You are a friend of Wolf?"

"Um...." Holly thought about the past few days.
"Used to be." she said eventually, "Why?"

"She has pleaded ou cause to go free." The Assassin Lord replied.

Holly stared.
"Really?" she asked, as if convinced he was playing a trick on her, "But she... no she wouldn't do that ... She hates me ya'see."

"She said that there was no place for you here, and that there was no point keeping you here. She doesn't want to see you." The Assassin Lord.

Holly swallowed, thinking carefully.
"What'll happen to her?" she asked eventually.

"She will stay here." The Assassin Lord said.

"What, forever? Always an assassin?" Holly asked.

"As long as she wants." The Assasin Lord said.

"So I can go?" Holly clarified, "Just like that?"

"Yes, you and your other vampire friend." The Assassin Lord.

Holly thought for another moment and then nodded.
"Cheers." she said, and apparated away.
Little did she know ... something had happened.

Shadow watched as Natalie also disappeared, and then she stood up, and yawned.

In Holly's absense, Ash had become worried, and after consulting with Arnold about the attempted killing spree, was all ready to kill Shadow and stuff.

Archangel was waiting for Holly back at Holly's house.

After going to a pub, a shopping centre and a Boy-Centre, Holly returned to her house, boy in tow.

Archangel looked up at Holly ad waved.

Shocked, Holly jumped.
"Arc, hey!" she said, "Long time no see! What are you doin' 'ere?"

"Looking for you and Mum." Archangel said.

"Oh ... well your mum's in an assassin cell at this moment in time ....But here's ME!"
Holly smiled hopefully.

"Surprise, surprise." Archangel said.

"Yeah, she's never just 'At the pub' is she?" Holly said thoughtfully, "The lad there said she could leave when she wanted to though."
