Three years.

He took a deep breath, then as he closed his eyes, walked straight into the door. When he opened them again, he was on the other side, and a Ty-shaped silhouette of a shimmering purple substance lined the door behind him.

Ty scuttled along the floor, making little sound, as he made his way towards the servant entrance. He shrouded himself in darkness, his refuge, and no one saw him.

Outside, Adam jumped up onto a window ledge, then tapped on the glass gently. Three times.

Ty jumped up to the same window sill a silently unlocked it, letting Adam in.

Adam looked back down and nodded to Ian, who then let Mitch stand on his shoulders. Mitch grabbed Adam's outstretched hand and pulled himself over the window and into the home. Jerome followed, as did Quentin. Then Jason climbed onto Ian's back as Ian jumped up and grabbed Adam's hand, then pulling himself up.

The entire T.E.A.M was within the house. Ty tread ahead of the others, signaling every few moments that it was safe.

A guard absentmindedly strolled down the halls. Ty nodded to Mitch, and the duo jumped into action.

Jerome jumped in front of the guard and growled loudly, advancing slowly. "AAH!-" Her screams were silenced as Mitch sent a poison dagger in her thigh.

As the guard fell to the ground lifelessly, Adam and Ian heard something the others could not hear, and both mouthed simultaneously, "They're coming."

Adam jumped up onto the long wooden beams that held the roof up above them, and Ian quickly crouched, letting Mitch, then Jerome, then Quentin, then Ty stand on his shoulders and were pulled up by Adam onto the beams, repeating their sequence from before. Jason climbed onto his back before Ian jumped up and grabbed Adam's hand again and hid among the beams.

"What happened to her?!" A troubled voice shrieked as guards approached the dead body of the woman Mitch had just killed.

"Catherine...."

"There are intruders!"

Voice clamored, panicked and afraid. Among the group were novices, unfamiliar with dealing with intruders.

"Assassins," a voice announced. "There are stealth assassins in this house."

That made the novices panic even more. Quentin carefully pulled out a potion from his bag, a splash potion, and threw it.

It exploded, and black fumes spread in the hallway. The guards choked on the blackness and fell to the ground. Within seconds, they all lay dead.

Ian nodded to Adam, and he dropped to the floor without a sound. He caught Mitch as he jumped down, and then Jerome. Ian jumped down with Jason still on his back.

Jason pointed down a hallway, then Ty quickly patted down the hallway. He peeked around the corner, then turned his gaze back to the group and nodded in approval. Ian lessened the light of the lamps to a dim glow.

They continued, silently slaying anyone who might have come their way and slinking past guards in a shroud of darkness. They stayed hidden, though now they met guards at every twist and turn. Jason knew every twist and turn of the home, and they were far away from the scene when the maid shrieked as she saw the corpses of their victims.
