Jessica POV
I was standing in the middle of the alley. I heard the man coming up behind me slowly. As he positioned himself to throw the knife he was holding. I slid off my necklace. The black woven metal slid off my neck easily and grew into my beautiful whip. The little hammer charm hung at the handle ready for use if I needed it. I spun around and threw the tip of my whip at the man. It wrapped around the knife and I tugged it out of his hand. Then I held the hammer charm in my hand as I spun around so it grew into a black hammer with a gold top. I wrapped my whip around the guys leg then dragged him over to me delivering the final blow with my hammer. Then the simulation shut down and I stepped out of the simulation chamber.

"How did I do Father?" I asked grabbing water. This was the sixth guy I took down today.

"Adequate as usual." He replied from his throne. His dark grey suit looked crisp as usual as he sat with his legs crossed. "That's not going to win you The Fight though."

I put my black hair into a bun and reclasped my necklace around my neck. The hammer rested on my collar bone. I've had this necklace all 15 years of my life. When I was born with "fighters eyes" as my mother used to say they knew I'd be in the fight. My eyes are black like my great grandmother's. She was the last to be able to use the whip and hammer. She was a hybrid like me. One of the first. Since then no one in my family married a human except my dad. My dad, John Halin, is a successful Diay. He is the emperor's top adviser and best friend. Father has mind control which was passed to my sister but not me. That's why I have two weapons. He basically ruled the country by the emperor's side, making him a pompous ass. My mother is a human. A year ago something happened to her and she just shut down. She went into a coma and has been like that since.

"Jessica you need to work harder." He said trying to use a tone to show he's doing it for my benefit and he cared. I saw right through it.

"Fine, Father, I'll work harder." I recited. Then I walked up stairs. My sister was waiting for me in my room.

"Come to wallow in your failure once again." My older sister, Bianca, said with a smirk.

"I don't have time for your bullshit what do you want Bianca?" I said irritated that she was in her. I saw her narrow her eyes and raise her hand slightly."Can you not?! It your power doesn't work on hybrids Moron."

She glared,"I know that. I was just doing what dad told me too." She said. Suddenly I felt someone behind me. I whipped off my necklace, no pun intended, and extended it. I spun around just as the woman behind me tried to shoot me. I ducked away then back flipped, kicking her in the face. Then I slashed my whip and it wrapped around her neck, tightening till she was dead. Then I side kicked the second person who was coming at me with a dagger. She flew back. I looked at my hands to see my whip was not there but in her hands.

"Shit!" I cursed cartwheeling to the side as the dagger flew my way. It skimmed my arm but the cut didn't go to deep. It wouldn't need stitches. I raised my hand then the whip came flying into it. I slashed my whip at my attacker knocking her head against the wall and knocking her out.

"Nice try Bianca." I said walking away from my sister's slumped over body and to my other room.
++++++++++++++++++++

I walked into my dad's office slowly standing behind him until he got off the phone and notice I was there.

"Yes. Yes. Okay Goodnight." He said to whoever was on the phone.

"So tried to send my big sis to assassinate me huh?" I said suddenly making him jump.

"Jessica!" He said breathing a bit heavily and putting his hand over his chest,"Don't do that you can give me a heart attack."

"That's the point." I mumbled,"Anyway speaking of attack you want to explain why Bianca just attacked me?" I said narrowing my eyes at my father. He scanned my body quickly to check for any damage, then looked at my face not noticing the cut.

"Yes I figured you needed a worthy opponent and who better then your sister?" He asked.

"Anyone. Anyone is better." I said smirking,"Anyway I'm going to go shower. If you want your dear, deadly, brilliant assassin back she's lying in my second room on the floor." Then I walked to my first room that was fixed from the last time Father tried to kill me. I took a hot shower then put on a black oversized hoodie and black leggings. I decided to let my hair air dry as I sat down. Then I heard knocking at my bedroom door. I stood up and went to answer it.

"Bianca if you wanted me to hand your ass back to you after beating it you should've just..." I said suddenly trailing off when I opened the door and saw who it was.

"Mom?"
++++++++++++++++++++++

"We don't have much time." She said rushing into the room and closing the door,"It's very hard for your grandma to keep me here for very long."

"What do you mean grandma? Grandma doesn't have powers she's human." I said still half in shock that my mother is here.

"Grandma is a Diay." She said quickly."She can control the souls inside of people and sense people around her by they're souls. She transported my soul here so I can tell you, you're not a full hybrid. What you think are finely tuned senses are actually part of your powers." As she began to fade she said,"Don't trust your father or Marcus. I love you Jessica." She said disappearing. I stared at the space where she was. I dropped to the floor on my knees.

"I love you too Mom."
