Zera

I watched him closely. He was going to kill me and I barely had any time. I still sat in the window and looked up. The actual roof wasn't far from where I was I could probably make the jump. I cursed at myself silently for being so stupid.

I looked back at Cassian, "I would say it was nice seeing you, but it wasn't." I chuckled and threw a smoke bomb and a knife at Cassian, then jumped up reaching for the edge of the roof. Luckily, I caught it.

Using my upper body strength, I was able to lift myself up, but was met by many guards. They had been alerted, just great. As one charged at me, I jumped again placing force on his shoulders and sat on the guys neck. No one seemed to expect it because I managed to kill two guards quickly after pulling by gun around from my back. Every guard aimed their gun at me, and I smiled again and twisted around doing a backflip using the guy as a shield and also at the same time snapping his neck. I managed to kill three guys and threw a knife in another's head.

I looked around, surrounded by guards bodies. They were trained I'll give them that, but I think all the dead assassins got to them. There are four assassins left including me, but each one of us were the best out of the twenty five sent.

I took my knife out of the man's head and wiped the blood on the man's bullet proof vest. I put my knife back in my belt and sighed. They didn't deserve to die, but in a way they chose to die and that's not my fault. I only had one target, but they were in my way. I'm not like Cassian. I don't like to kill I only do what is necessary, but yet all these deaths weren't necessary. I'm tired of all this.

I reloaded my gun with another sigh. We needed this to end.

Cassian 

I clapped. " Well done, well done indeed! I'm glad your training as an assassin wasn't fruitless. But your hesitation, well that isn't a good thing y'know. That's the reason you will DIE!"

She dodged my first strike and tries to counter, but I blocked with my knife. She was fast, like really fast, but all I had to do was disarm her. I can't bring myself to stab her. That's why I'm going easy on her, so I don't accidentally kill her.

As I turned around, I didn't see Zera. I saw a blank face. No emotion, just movements. Which is where she messed up. She went for a strike and I disarmed her, grabbing the blade, then her wrist and pushed them in opposite directions. She still sliced my arm up though.

"Look, before I kill you, before I end this tale, I want to ask. Did you even make that kid happy? Did you even meet him? Or are you so cruel you just ignored him completely?" She went even more pale, which I didn't think was possible, but it happened. " You know Zera, you used to be different. You used to be kind, you used to hate the kind of person I was, not because of who I am, but because of what I did and saw as justice. But I see the hypocrisy now. You're not special, you're just are a copy of me. Another one on the shelf of psychopaths. I wish you could've been better than this."

"Yet I didn't ignore him because I was cold, but because I couldn't face him. I couldn't bear to tell him the truth about who I cared for. The same person who believed lies before they realized the truth. I would never kill you." She said her eyes flaring with anger.

I'm not saying that I didn't get it, but it took a few seconds to hit. But when it did, I froze.

"You wouldn't believe that now, would you son? She speaks of lies and believing them, then right behind you back tells one. Don't believe her false words, fulfill your mission. Kill her"

I hesitated for a few moments. " Zera, I'm sorry." Those were unfortunately her last words as I shoved her off the edge, and turned to my only friend, Z as he muttered something along the lines of " mothers daughter."
