We headed back to Nate and my hotel room to get things settled. Echo had taken me to the restroom to get changed, and my reflection showed me a completely different person than I expected. I didn't even look like myself. A dress that was meant for Echo to wear for this mission ended up on me to fulfill the role to get this man down, but it's so unexpected that I'm even questioning myself if it'll even work, even with a short black wig on.

"You look lovely" Echo held my shoulders from behind, looking at me watching my reflection "Gold is absolutely your color" I stared at the thin off the shoulder dress with a slit on the side that left my leg exposed. I wore heals that matched the dress and it went well with the boa I was given earlier before I got fitted in the bathroom thanks to Echo.

"Thank you" I smiled, feeling like a Princess... I wonder how Nate will look at me when he sees me in this.

"I'm sure Blake won't be able to take his eyes off you" I blushed and looked down, playing with the thin gloves that blended with the color of my hands so my finger print won't be traced anywhere "You really like him, don't you?"

"W-What gave you that idea..?"

"The way you looked at him tells it all. You can't hide it from a girl" I cupped my face, embarrassed "Are you sure you want this do this?"

"What do you mean? I already got this dress fitted to fit me. How can I back down now?" She shook her head.

"No, that's not what I meant. Are you sure you want to do this for Nate?" I tilted my head confused "You said you'd do anything for Nate... You are willing to do something like this for him even if he likes someone else" I smiled and looked down "Why?"

"Why? I already set out to what I want to do with life. I want everyone to be happy. If I can die making sure everyone has a smile on their face, then that's all I care about" I held the boa close to me "I love Nate... but I can never tell him. It's best that he doesn't know. I don't deserve happiness" I smiled "I live only to protect" I turned to face her "I'll do my best" she frowned at me before nodding and walked me back to the bedroom, where the guys were working on some paper to discuss the plan even further.

"Stand up! The Princess has arrived!" Echo announced. Everyone got up to watch me walk into the room, all eyes on me and admired with the dress I had on. Nate's face was glued on me like I was glittering or something. I smiled at his reaction and walked up to him wearing a black suit.

"How do I look?" He removed a hair from my forehead and smiled.

"Unrecognizable" I giggled.

"You look dashing yourself, handsome" I winked. He huffed and looked away, blushing.

"A fine piece of work, if I do say so myself" Phoenix came up to me "You look lovely. I hope you're ready what's to come, Princess"

"Is that my code name?" I giggled "I'm flattered. Don't worry! I won't let you down!" Fang sent out an Alakazam "Oh!" I bend down to look at it, making it flinch when seeing me.

"This Alakazam will teleport you out that room when the job is done. Once you're away from the scene, the job is complete" Fang said. I stared at Alakazam for a moment, watching it sweat the longer I stared at it. I have a feeling there will be a delay, but I won't worry about that for now.

"That's good! I'm ready when everyone is!" I looked at Knight and Echo wearing clothes that fits a server and then looked at Nate staring at my neck with wide eyes. He shakily pointed at it before freaking out

"W-Where did you get that?" Echo leaned over to see what he was pointing at and took out her makeup brush

"That should be hidden" she started applying makeup on my neck as well "Can't believe I didn't notice that with all that hair you got. It's best that our target doesn't see that if we want him to participate with the plan"

Nate was still shaking, still holding his hand up. I just watched him silently freak about before he snapped at me "Who did that?!" He asked. I giggled, which made him freeze at the realization that no one else could had done this "D-Don't tell me..."

"Well, I didn't do it to myself" I chuckled "I told you you were grabby that night" blood leaked from his nose "I don't mind another after this mission" I winked

"N-No!" He pinched his nose "I-I didn't mean-"

"You're so uptight. It's not a big deal" his friends was trying to calm him down while Echo finished her work "Thanks! You've done a wonderful job" Echo looked at Nate being seated and getting fanned on by the guy's hands, making it funnier than it looked.

"Never really seen him like this" Echo chuckled "you must really be something" I don't know what she means by that.

With everyone ready for their sections, Echo and Knight went off to act as staff at the hotel across from ours and left first before Nate and I were ready to leave.

"Remember the code if you feel uncomfortable, okay?" Phoenix said while Nate adjusted my ear piece for me so I can be tracked and contacted when needed. He was shaking and glancing at my neck from time to time "Don't force yourself if you're uncomfortable. We want to make this seem as casual as possible" I nodded to Phoenix and looked at Nate looking uneasy. I held his cheeks to make him look at me.

"It'll be okay" I gave him a smile "I just hope you and I can get out of here without any complications" I looked at my shaking hand "No matter what happens, I promise I'll be okay. And don't worry about the hicky. It's only temporary" he held my hand.

"You can't promise something like that. You need to sleep. You know what happened last time you didn't get sleep" I giggled.

"I promise, okay?" He nodded and escorted me out the room towards the fancy hotel we watched from outside the window, where a party was being held.

I played the role of a princess while I made an entrance, getting eyes on me and watched as I walked through the crowd of people making way for me to pass.

"Who is that?" Someone whispered
"She's gorgeous"
"Have I seen her in any movies?"
"I don't think so. Maybe she's an heiress"
"She must be! Or maybe a princess"

I giggled at everyone's comments and looked at Nate searching the area while moving people away from me so I can walk without complications. To think we're working together on a mission that isn't very different from his actual job in protecting me. It makes me happy that I don't have to do this alone.

"Princess... Please take a seat" Nate told me, showing me a comfy seat in front of a middle aged man sitting in the middle of girls showing little to the imagination "Would you like something to drink?" Nate kneeled to me "Refreshments, perhaps?" he's playing this role seriously... It makes me want to blush and just snatch him away to hear more of him, but I must resist.

"Take the refreshment" Phoenix said in my earpiece "This will get you alone with the target right in front of you" so I was right. The man staring at me while drinking his champagne was the target... The target who killed his own mother.

"Yes. Please" I smiled at Nate "You know what I like" Nate nodded and walked away, leaving me alone with the man putting his cup down and lean over to me.

"I don't believe I've seen you around" He offered his hand, which I took so he can kiss the back of it "How do you do? I'm the owner of this hotel. Please to meet you" I chuckled.

"Oh my, how bold of you to introduce yourself as the owner of this hotel. A Nobel man would give his name to a lady he dares to kiss the hand of" he chuckled and leaned away.

"Where are my manners? My name is Mayor Franco. I am the mayor of Black City. It's a pleasure to meet you" I lifted my boa to cover my smirk I couldn't help but make. My excitement was building up the more I was into this character.

"The pleasure is all mine" Nate came back to kneel to me and hand me my drink in a champagne glass "oh! Thank you, love" Nate peaked at me from over his glasses when I said that as he stood up to stand beside me and guard like he's supposed too. I giggled and drank the sparkling water with flavor.

"Pretend your drinking alcohol, Princess" Phoenix said "It'll be easier if you acted drunk so we can get this thing rolling" I drank the entire glass and handed it back to Nate watching me.

"Keep them coming" he took my glass and walked away to get more. I slid my leg over the other and held onto my knee "As I was saying, it's a pleasure to meet you" I giggled "My name is Princess! I'm an heiress in the Sinnoh region, so I'm not from here" Franco watched me amazed while the girls around him looked at each other confused. I darted my eyes at them for a quick second, freaking them out and hurried to leave.

"Hm? Where are they going?" He asked, watching them leave. I took a glass of sparkling water off a tray Nate placed on a table beside me and didn't hesitate to drink the whole thing.

"Not sure" I stood up and decided to sit on his lap "Do you mind if I take their place?" Franco smiled and placed his hand on his thigh, letting me sit. I took another glass from Nate trying to hide his anger, and drank the glass whole again "Goodness... They put allot of alcohol in this" I fanned my face and softly touched Franco's shoulder "Tell me about yourself. I would love to hear more about a man who's a mayor" I giggled "I bet you have a lot of stories" he looked like he was falling for it fast and started talking to me about his work and life the entire night while I just drank sparkling water the whole time, slowly started to act "drunk".

"Easy there, you've drank enough" Franco took my empty glass and set it down as I had my head on his shoulder "You doing alright?" I giggled and sat up.

"I'm feeling great" I lied. I really needed to go to the restroom "So" I wrapped my arms around him "You..." I slurred my words "You fund the black market, you said" I giggled, digging my nails onto his coat he probably didn't feel "That sound interesting..." I held my stomach and rested on his shoulder again. Someone came to whisper something into his ears.

"You're kidding me..." Franco groaned "Where are we going to get entertainers at this time? Make some phone calls. I'm busy here" the man nodded and left with the phone on his ear "just great..."

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"The pianist that's suppose to be playing got a allergic reaction to the food she was eating, so we have no one to play music" I held my chin to think "I wouldn't suppose you know how to play?" He chuckled.

"I can" he and Nate looked at me surprised "I can also sing. Would you like me to show you?" His eyes lit up.

"Yes!" I giggled and held my hand out for Nate to help me back on my feet and escort me to the stage while Franco went off to talk to someone.

"What are you doing? This isn't part of the plan" Nate whispered.

"A song can always win someone's heart. It'll be fine" I giggled, walking up to the stage and look at everyone coming up to watch me perform. This isn't exactly what I planned on doing, but if keeps the target from getting distracted by something else instead of me, this may be the only way.

"Thank you for doing this" Franco came up to the stage while I took a seat in front of the piano "I'll be sure to pay you greatly for this performance if it makes everyone happy"

"Are you doubting me?" I giggled. He just smiled and helped me move the microphone to reach me before getting off the stage. I looked at everyone staring at me before I nodded, ready to perform, and started playing the piano gently and sweetly before singing the melody.

"I am thinking of you, in my sleepless solitude tonight" I closed my eyes, feeling the music flow through me "if it's wrong to love you, then my heart just won't let me be right... cause I've drowned in you, and I won't pull through without you by my side..." I opened my eyes and looked at Nate staring at me singing with soft eyes "I'd give my all to have, just one more night with you... I'd risk my life to feel, your body next to mine... cause I can't go on, living in the memory of our song. I'd give my all for your love... tonight" I sang to him before closing my eyes again to sing the rest of the song for the audience.

Song: My all by Mariah Carey

After the performance, I ignored the cheers everyone was giving me and ran straight to the bathroom to puke into the toilet.

"Princess!" Echo came running into the bathroom after me and saw what I threw up "What is this..?" I leaned away to grab some toilet paper to clean myself from the black liquid that just came out of me "A-Are you alright..?"

"I'm not doing so good..." I coughed. She got another tissue to help me clean my face.

"If it's too much for you, you can stop now. We'll find another way" I shook my head and flushed the toilet before going to the exit.

"It's okay. I got this" I lifted my boa to look at Banette hiding under it "I need to release all this anger..." I chuckled "Don't worry about me. I can handle myself" I stopped and peaked at Echo watching me concerned "This decision might make Nate hate me, but he needs to find out sooner then later" I exit the bathroom and found Franco coming up to me "oh! Hello!" I smiled.

"Your performance was amazing..." he kissed the back of my hand "Thank you so much for this. I gave your bodyguard the money for the beautiful song" I looked at him confused and looked around for Nate "He said he needs to step out for a bit, so why don't you come with me and cool down for a bit?"

"I see..." Nate left? I mean... He is supposed to leave once I get the target to come to the room with me, but did he leave because of something else..? Because he saw that I was singing to him?

I tried not letting it get to me and smiled back at Franco "We can go to my room" I held his hand "Do you mind carrying me? My heels are starting to hurt" He lifted me up like a princess and escorted me away from the party.

"Of course. Anything you say, princess" I removed my shoes and sighed in relief at the air cooling my feet and just relaxed my head on his shoulders, trying to control the anger I had building up on my body. The song was able to cool it down for a bit, but it didn't last. Just being by this guy made my entire mood go from 0 to -100. He really pisses me off...

"You drank a lot of glasses. I'm sure you wanted to just party and let go of whatever was troubling you" I snorted "I've talked enough about myself. What about yourself? Tell me more. Did you sing in Sinnoh?"

"Hm?" Why does he care? I'm sure he's just excited to think he's going to get somewhere with me.

"Princess, you there?" Phoenix spoke "Say the code word if you're okay"

"Water" I said, letting him know I'm okay.

"Great! Nate is in position. You already know what you have to do"

"Water?" Franco questioned. I smiled and nodded. 

"I can go for some water right now" he nodded and kept walking "as for myself? I only really sing for myself. I came to Unova because of how beautiful it is. This region is so amazing" I said honestly "I don't have much time left here, so I was hoping to get some entertainment... but I ended up doing that myself" I giggled "It was fun"

"I can't help but wonder... Did you sing that song for me? You were looking at me the entire time" funny. He must've been behind the Nate and I didn't notice.

"Yes" I hugged him "You've been the best part of this night" I lied "I hope you can help me make it last" he chuckled and opened the door to the room I told him to go into.

"Good thing I have a key that opens every locked room" He set me down on the floor "Why don't you get comfortable?" My fingers were twitching. I don't have time to get comfortable.

"No thank you..." I pushed him towards the chair I was told about that was near the open window "I'm fine as I am... I'm sure I'll be comfortable once you help me undress" he loosened his tie and leaned back on the chair, watching me climb on top of him "I'm so excited..."

"So am I..." he smirked, waiting for me to get closer to him.

"Whoa there girl, Nate is ready to give the shot" Phoenix said "Say the code word when you're ready. It should be over quickly" I looked up into the window to look at the hotel across the street to see a faint figure in the shadows on top of the roof. Oh Nate...

"I don't need it" I told Phoenix as Banette pulled a knife out for me and I hid it behind Franco "I don't need the dress... touch me" I smirked, waiting for the trigger "Touch me..." he didn't even noticed my devilish smirk staring at him as he stared at my body on his. His hand casually touched my breast, which made me laugh and jab my knife into his shoulder blade, making him freeze and shakily look at the knife in his body while I licked my lips hungrily.

"That was so casual!" I laughed at him "I bet you experienced touching a lot of girls in your life time, right?" I laughed hysterically at his face as he looked terrified "The stories you've told me... Every one of them... You told them to me like you accomplished something!" I pulled the knife out and held it high above my head before stabbing his chest over and over... and over... and over... laughing... laughing at his pain... Laughed at his begging... I kept stabbing him, showing no signs of stopping. I couldn't even hear Phoenix screaming at me to know what was going on. I just laughed... and laughed... watching the blood running down Franco's dead body.

"You are what's wrong with this city..." I giggled and pulled the knife out, staring at the bits of guts on the blade. Banette swallowed the knife while I moved off the body.

My hands were shaking hard. My excitement was still there, but I was crying in the inside. It's been so long since I killed someone... I never truly liked the feeling of it, even if I laughed at their pain and enjoyed stabbing them. I hated myself when I felt like this...

"W-What have you done..?" I peaked over at Fang standing behind me with his Alakazam beside him cautiously.

"Oh, it's you" I turned and walked over to him "This wasn't part of the plan... I got too excited. I'm not proud of it" He walked backwards, terrified for his life. I felt something running down my cheeks. I stopped and looked at the black liquid leaking from my eyes. I couldn't stop my body from shaking. This was too much... "Help..." I forced out, speaking over my shakiness I had no control over "It hurts..." I fell on my knees in pain.

My head controlled my body on its own. I sobbed at how much pain I was experiencing while I thought back at father screaming like that man. I hate it...  "Make... it... stop" I looked at the floor change immediately. I looked up to see that I was back in our hotel room. Phoenix was staring at me on the floor, not saying a single thing

"Got the job done..." I coughed "Why did I bother..? I knew it would hurt me so bad" I pulled my hair "I couldn't stop..." I dropped to the floor, looking out the window to see the sun coming back up. I sighed in relief, feeling my body slowly starting to fall asleep. The last thing I heard was the door slam open and heard my name being called before my body was shaken to wake me up. I passed out, unable to see Nate by the end of the night.
