Sage was running down the all too familiar alleyway. Her partners running alongside her. They continued racing down the path, turning sharply into the entrance of their cavern. They seemed to fly down the wooden steps into the cave like room. Gracie , the brown blade , was the last to enter, so she closed the door and latched it. They stopped ,panting. Sage , the scarlet assassin , looked around at her companions. Saphira Cullen , the blue thorn , Dove Lace , the gray slash , Iris Vlade , the green bramble , Willow Jesse , the black thief , Mira Sheen , the pink flame , Naveena Gem , white poison , Violet Ren , the purple glass , and Mell Ash , the golden rage. The shadow rouges.
"Gracie! Are you almost done with our new attires?" Mira asked. impatience, lacing her words. Gracie was the designer in their 'group' and Mira was always on her tail about what she wanted in her cloak to have on it or what kind of stitching she wanted. Everyone else could care less.
"Mira, you asked me before we left and I told you that yours was already done." Gracie responded annoyed.
"Them lemme have it!" Mira responded jumping in her spot. Willow and Iris giggled as Gracie dramatically sighed and went to get Mira's attire for the next outing. She returned with a black and pink(duh) cloak.

Mira squeaked with happiness as she saw the new cloak. "It's great!" She exclaimed to Gracie.
Gracie nodded and motioned to Saphira and Violet. Their gazes curious, they followed Gracie to her 'making station'. Sage heard gasps as they both came out with new attires as well.

Violet's

Saphira's
Everyone went to admire their outfits while ,Sage chuckled as she saw Gracie flap her arms in annoyance as Mell started bugging her about her own cloak. Sage smiled at them before going to the back stairs that lead to another entrance. "Sage? Where are you going? The guards could still be out there." She heard Dove's concerned voice behind her. "I'm just gonna go the the rose patch. I won't be long." Sage said over her shoulder as she started up the steps. "I'll let the others know where your going. If you need help use your pendent." Dove said as she watched her friend wrapped in red go up the back steps. "Yea yea!" Sage waved her hand behind her.

•At the rose patch•

Sage was sitting on the stone bench that was set up by the large group of roses. She stared at the red petals as they danced in the wind, breathing in their lovely sent. She jumped as she heard voices coming behind her. She quickly got up and hid behind a large wall. She watched as a boy and a tall man neared the roses. The boy was dressed in a navy cloak and a top hat that had a blue ribbon wrapped around it. He had dark blue hair and had an eyepatch around one of his eyes. The man had raven black hair and was wearing a tailcoat with matching pants and glowing white gloves. His red eyes made a shiver go up Sage's spin. 'How strange' she thought as she watched the man helped seat the boy on the bench she rested on before. She then thought the man was the boys butler. "Rich" Sage thought out load, keeping her voice down. The butler's gaze shot towards the wall she was hiding behind. Sage flung her head behind the wall placing her hand over her racing heart. She quickly got up and ran down the side of the wall to behind a building. She turned a corner and bumped into something hard. Grunting as her bottom came into contact with the ground. She looked up and saw the butler. For a second she looked at him in awe. How had he beaten her there, and how did he know which way I was gonna go?! The next moment she was pulling out her blood red dagger that was strapped to her leg, its blade glistening in the moonlight. All of the shadow rouges had a dagger that matched their nicknames. Sage being the scarlet assassin ,had a red one. The butler's eyes closed in a closed-eye smile. He chuckled slightly. Narrowing her eyes, Sage stood up straight, holding the dagger towards him, warning him without words. In the blink of an eye, the dagger was flung out of her hand and Sage was pushed to the ground by a black shoe. The impact took the breath from of her. Her eyes closed tightly as she was gasping for breath, but the pressure that the shoe was putting on her stomach was making it hard to catch her breath. Sage's gaze started to blurr. "Sebastian? What is this?" She heard a voice speak somewhere above her. The foot on her stomach lifted as she sat up and started coughing and gasping in air. She put her hands on the ground as she started getting her breath back. "Hmm." The same voice sounded. "Sebastian, who is she?"
"My lord, this is the one of the members of the shadow rouges, her name is Sage Black or her group name, the scarlet assassin." A smooth voice came from the same man that had taken her weapon away from her. "A shadow rouge huh? So the rumor is true." The other voice said. She looked up weakly, pretending to be hurt worse by faking a moan of pain. They both looked at her with surprise and curiosity in their eyes. "How weak. Nothing like her reputation." The boy from earlier said looking at her with disgust in his one visible blue eye. He then walked up to her and bent down to her eye level. She then grabbed him by the arm, grabbing her dagger in the process, and turned him, putting the red blade to his throat. "I'm. Not. Weak." She whispered in his ear. Sage then gripped the dagger, getting ready to slit his throat. She stopped when he started chuckling. 'He's mad' she thought. She lowered the dagger and kicked him away from her, cutting the side of his arm as she shoved him with her foot. He landed on his knees and grabbed his arm.

"Let's go Sebastian." He said. The butler looked at him shocked. "But master, what about the girl?" He said glancing at her before looking back at the boy. "Let her have her fun. It'll catch up to her." He said glancing at her sideways before standing up. Sage decided to give an impression of her strength. She licked the blood off of her dagger before putting it back on the strap. She smirked as the boy almost bumped into the wall, his attention on her before she put her dagger up. She waited for them to get out of her sight before she leaned against the wall, spitting out the foul tasting red liquid. Sighing, Sage headed back to the cavern keeping an eye out for that butler. Just the thought of his actions made her heart race.
