I laughed a bit relaxing my arms around ducky who was busy admiring the room. There was a stage with a live little orchestra playing waltz music, a dance floor in the middle of the room in which the tables surrounded it. There were tall pillars with detailed carvings on them, the ceiling had mutli colored detailed carvings and the room itself was painted a cream color and there was glossy wood tiled flooring that was so clean you could see your reflection.

After awhile, I got bored and so did ducky, so we began to play Uno along with Leo but just when he was about to win someone hugged me from behind. Everyone was surprised and the other guests at our table gasped a bit knowing how dangerous I am that I shouldn't be touched so easily.

I looked to the side to see a little girl around the age of ten maybe and she had a big smile on her face. "You're the Devils Angel right right right," she asked letting go of me and jumping up and down as if she got a toy she desperately wanted.

"Yes, can I ask why you hugged me?" She took a step back smiling even more with those pink chapped lips. She had black long straight hair and bangs that was pulled back in a ponytail which made her sparkly green eyes pop out more that just went so well with her tanned skin. Her dress was a green long transparent sleeved ball gown with ruffles going down and a huge glittery bow in the back.

"Can I tell you how big of a role model you are to me I mean wow I can't believe I am meeting you. I wanted tototo meet you last year buttt you weren't here and I was so bummed but you're here now today tonight oh man I think I'm freaking out am I talking to to fast cause I think I am ahhhhhh please shake my hand!" She held her shaking hand out to me and I was a bit hesitant to take her hand but I did anyway which made her squeal of joy.

"What's your name little one?" she excitedly pushed Leos' chair away and brought another chair in between us so she could sit next to me. Leo gave her a look then looked at me then back at her pretending to strangle her.

"My name is Delilah Darling. I am eleven years old so I beat your record of youngest assassin," she said smiling and swinging her feet. I couldn't help the frown on my face not because my record was beat but because of how young she is to have to do it. What in god's name would put a child as young as her as a killer, what was that push in life that drove her to spill blood in her hands?

She saw my sad face and giggled, "Don't be sad I feel free because of what I do." A tear slipped from I eye and I brought Delilah in my arms so me and ducky could hug her. I pulled away, "It's nice to meet you darling, I'd like to hear your story sometime soon so for now please have a seat with us here unless your parents are here."

"No parents just me," she said pulling her chair closer to the table taking a look at the other adults sitting with us. I sat listening to Delilah and ducky talk about their favorite things like Barbie's, which I loved, animals and food. Around ten thirty it was time for bosses to make announcements and there were even contests like who had killed more this year or who was more productive.

The prizes of course were either money, guns, drugs, vacations or plain glass trophies and sometimes even people since this small part of Manhattan wasn't owned by anyone.

Come to think of it I think the last time I was at this party they had given a red headed submissive teen boy away to one of the top bosses around here who looked like a human jaba the hut just maybe a little less blubber. Maybe it was at that point where I decided not to come to this event ever again but yet here I am. My thoughts were interrupted as I felt a hand gently rub my shoulder, it was jay signaling me to come with him so we could go to the stage area.

"So, what should I say I'm a bit n-nervous," I say almost tripping on my dress getting up from my seat but he luckily caught me. I wrapped my hand around his arm as we walked past the tables to the back of the satin red curtain where a lined was formed for the others waiting for a turn.

"Don't worry just make a little speech stating who you are but I suggest you use your codename and I plan to keep your gender as female in case we can use it to our advantage for future crisis's. I sighed heavily while nodding my head as the line got shorter and shorter until it was us who was next.

I gulped and proceeded to walk to the center stage where the microphone was. The light shined on us and you could just feel the worried tension from most of the other guests since my appearance was not known but my reputation as a ruthless killer was. I always got my jobs by phone and all my victims have met their death with a bullet to the head or on any of the other vital body parts with my signature bullets.

Okay so standing on the stage made me want to throw up real bad but then I heard shuffling in the dead silence. "GOOOOO MOMMYYYY!!" my ducky yelled for me from our table and I couldn't help but giggle.

I cleared my throat with a smile, "I'd like to introduce myself for I am the Devils' Angel. I have probably done some business with most of you all in the past years but I have news that I shall be retiring as an assassin," I heard a few gasps and murmurs, "I am retiring because I shall be known as the Devil Angel of the Blackwood group. We are the same Blackwood group that had vanished all those years ago and we plan to be at the top once again whether you all like it or not. If for some reason you do then please set an appointment with me so that I may personally take care of your worries."

"Why should we let a woman like you take over the Blackwood group," a man from a table near by dared to ask. My red lips formed into an even bigger smile, "Whether it is me being a woman or just me in general I can assure you that I can kick your ass anytime any day. Gentlemen most of you in this room are no match for me because if I was to keep killing then by next year's gathering one-fourth of this room will be gone while the other three-fourths would have probably hired me to do what they couldn't do."

With my hand I made a gun shape pointing it at the man's head, "Good sir and others that have a problem with my gender whether woman or man. Lesson one, you never underestimate what a pissed off person can do especially a woman." I pretended to shoot him which scared him back to sit down and shut up angrily. "Thank you all for listening may you have a pleasant evening." I began to walk off the stage with jay beside me as we started to hear clapping from the guests.

I smiled knowing I got my point through only I still felt like throwing up but I shook the feeling away as we got closer to the table. Ducky came running to me, "Mommy dance!" I looked at the dance floor with hardly any people dancing, "Okay sweetie lets go." She took my hand in hers as she led me to the dance floor where they were playing the piano duet from corpse bride which I love.

I picked her up so she clung to me and I danced twirling us around every so often not caring there were eyes on me and my princess. When the song ended we giggled and noticed more people had joined the dance floor but then someone had tapped my shoulder.

"Excuse me but might I have this next dance with your mother?" An older man that looked to be in his fifties but still had a good build asked ducky while holding a hand out to me. I looked at ducky who didn't seem to want to leave me but Leo came and asked her for a dance so she left and I began to dance with this man to bittersweet symphony. While dancing he said nothing to me other than that his name is Alejandro and he just kept examining me which just weirded me out enough to send shivers down my spine. When the song was over he simply thanked me for allowing him to take up my time and as he left more men got the courage to ask for my hand for a dance or two.

(Zachery)

I was sitting down wearing a tux of red and black along with a steel devil mask with red jewels on it most likely looking devilishly handsome but was I satisfied, no.

Honestly this annual party was boring like all the others until the Devils' Angel made an announcement that pretty much must have made everyone panic. Even I panicked a little knowing I'm not the only one ruling the underworld now and let me tell you this, I don't like sharing.

Right now, I am watching her dance with idiots who are most likely trying to suck up to her to be in her good graces. Well in the next song I'll just have to steal her away so that I can peacefully threaten her as we dance the night away. Ugh if only sky was here so I could be dancing with him, he would have had a grand time here with me as my date.

We could have been here in suits with matching colors or I could have persuaded him to wear a sexy dress that would have shown his perfect round ass off. Just picturing me ripping his clothes off is getting me as hard as a rock. Damnit, I went over to where his cell signal was telling me where he was but once we got tot the place it turns out to be the house of the Lions' Reaper.

I couldn't just walk in through the gates and into the house of a trained killer with no back up. Ill just have to go get him in the early morning or maybe after the party while he is still here.

Call me old fashioned but once I laid my eyes on sky I knew I wanted to take him out get married then have kids and just grow old together as we watched our grandkids learn how to shoot.

My thoughts were brought back to reality when I had heard the music stop. I got up speed walking to the woman before the lion could get to ask for her hand first. "Milady won't you have this dance with me?" She looked at me and instantly I saw those sky-blue eyes that looked at me with worry behind that white mask.

"I-I'm sorry I'm terribly tired so I-I should go take a rest now please excuse me," she said while beginning to walk to the tables but I grabbed onto her wrist pulling her to my chest. "Wont you dance with me? After all we are going to be seeing each other more." The song Secrets by One Republic began to play and I knew for a fact this was Skylar's favorite song.

She looked down at the floor thinking for a moment then back at me so that those beautiful eyes stared right back at mine. "I love this song so you shall be the last man I dance with tonight Mr. Henderson," she said placing a hand on my shoulder and the other in my hand.

She was no woman and I knew for a fact I was dancing with my angel so I couldn't help but smile brightly as I held onto him tightly. "You seem happier than before may I ask why?" I chuckled and brought my lips to his ear, "I am extremely happy because I am dancing with my angel.......my Sky."

I felt him stiff up a bit and try to leave but I only brought him closer as I put his arms around my neck and my arms around his waist. "Relax Skylar I won't do anything I'm just happy to have you in my arms again. I know it's you because I could never forget those beautiful eyes of yours, your lips," I bent down to connect our lips and happily explored his mouth with my tongue earning a whimper from him, "Your delicious ass is most unforgettable." I moved my hands lower to squeeze his cheeks and before he could moan I had my lips back on his.

I swallowed his moans as my hands began to be a little more rough on his plump bottom but before the beast within me could just fuck him right here in front of everyone, he was ripped from my arms by the stupid lion.

He glared at me then looked down at Sky, "Are you okay angel?" I looked at sky who just stared off into space then little tears began to fall down as he finally turned to look at me, "I'm I'm sorry I can't." I reached my hand out to him but he only slapped it away before running off towards the exit.

He will not leave from me again!

(Skylar)

I almost gave into him when I shouldn't be because for one I didn't deserve him and two because he could only be using me to get what he wants. I blindly run out the double doors leading out of the ballroom feeling nausea hit me again only to smack into a chest making me fall on top of them.

"I'm so sorry Ms. Angel! Here is is.........Skylar?!" I looked up rubbing my head only to feel that my mask had fallen off revealing my face. I was scared my face had been revealed but I was even more scared of the person whose face was so close to mine.

"R-Ryan?"

I scooted off of him as much as possible so that he was a good few feet away from me. "Hey! Are you two okay?" I heard another man say as they walked closer to us. I turned my head to see, "Danny?"

He stopped a few feet away from me in shock, "Why are you here Sky?" he came closer but I scooted away again.

I was about to answer when Zach came running out of the ballroom and was now a few feet behind me, "Zach."

"Zach?" Danny and Ryan said in unison while Zach came kneeling down next to me caressing my cheek and wiping a tear I didn't know escape. He kissed my forehead then my cheek and hesitantly kissed me in the most softest way any lover would want to be kissed.

Although the kiss was for a mere few seconds it was the best kiss I've ever had that I wished it would have been my first time. The tears were escaping me with every passing second until I was full on crying but for what I do not know. I felt two pairs of arms pull me away from Zach so I looked up to see it was the boys but I was scared of what they thought of me that I ended up crying more.

"What did you do to Sky?!" they asked getting closer to him ready to punch him. I tried to say no but my words weren't understandable thus doing no good to anyone. Then the door to the ballroom banged open revealing my little girl who was running over to me scared as to why I was on the floor crying.

"Mommy Stop!!!" she rushed past the guys straight to me landing in my arms and snuggled her face in my chest. "Mommy no cry," she said as her voiced cracked a bit probably also wanting to cry. "Mommy?!" I heard all the guys ask as they looked at me in confusion.

"Sweetheart help mommy up please," I asked her while trying to get up from the floor. I managed to stand up but everything was swirling and I felt like throwing up again. I heard the guys call my name as they ran towards me but everything was getting dark and the world turned sideways or was it just me?
