The Secret

"If we must," said Natalie softly.

"Let's!" Holly said enthusiastically.

Archangel nodded and started to cast illusions around Holly to make her look different.

Natalie watched with interest.

Archangel finished with Holly, having given her black hair, green eyes and she seemed taller.

"She looks like my sister...she looks like Jannie..." said Natalie, tears coming to her eyes.

"I can change it..." Archangel said quietly.

"No...it's ok..." said Natalie, wiping her eyes, "it's silly...it shouldn't effect me..."

"No, it's ok to cry." Archangel said quietly, rubbing Natalie's shoulder.

"I've cried long enough..." said Natalie quietly, "I just want Shadow back..."

"And we will get her back." Archangel vowed.

Natalie was quiet, but nodded.

"I hope so .. am I going now?" Holly asked.

"Yes, go." Archangel said.

"Oh I'm nervous now." Holly commented, "We should have gone over the plan more ... I forget what I'm doing."

Archangel rolled her eyes.
"Just go to the Guild, and say you want Nat assassinated, where she lives, so here, and that you want Wolf to do it."

"Holly doesn't know where I live...she doesn't know where SHE lives..." said Natalie quietly.

"Then we'll put down where ever we are now." Archangel said.

"I DO SO KNOW WHERE I LIVE!" Holly lied, "Right, Guild, here I come."
And she apparated.

Holly would have landed near an old looking mansion in the middle of a forest that was difficult to get to. A few children, assassin children, were playing tag in the trees, jumping from branch to branch under the supervision of a wiry looking man with red hair.

Natalie sighed slightly.
"BORED!" she said.

"Assassin children." Holly commented looking around, "Sick."
She caught the attention of the red haired man, and strolled over, attempting to look like she ordered people to kill her best friends everyday.

The man turned to look at Holly with a blank face, and pointed towards the house without a word.

Natalie was quiet as she thought.

"How'd you know why I was here?" Holly muttered, "I could be picking up my kid."
She sighed and made her way toward the house.
