Midnight's pov
Over the past 8 years, I had traveled the world with hardly enough time to sight see and a trail of bodies left behind. You see that was my job, go where master said, kill who master said, and be back when master said. Who's master? Well he is the man you kidnapped me all those years ago and turned me into an assassin, the world greatest if I may add.
My story begins here when I just got back from a job from South America. Oh by the way I might want to mention that I'm not quite human, I'm actually a were-leopard.
The doors slam behind me as I walk down the hall to master's meeting room to give him my report of my latest job. My footsteps were silent from my years of training with my breathing shallow, making the hallway evermore silent. Some people would have mistaken me for a shadow but then again that's what I'm meant to be nothing but a shadow. Finally reaching the double doors, I push them open to be met with a group smiling at me.
A chill runs down my spine as their eyes roam over my body and I steel myself to face them. I walk up to the table that they surround and place a bag on the table bowing as I back away.
"The head of the elven prince as you asked master." I knelt looking down as master looked at the bag.
"As I expected Midnight. Job well done," he replied rolling the bag leaving a small trail of blood. "You are free for tonight and I expect you back before midnight."
"Yes, Master," I said standing up and bowing before leaving.
It took everything I had to keep from smiling as I walked out of the mansion. Master only lets me out to go complete jobs and on the day when I get back and he says that I did a good job is the only time I'm let outside.
Once out of the mansion I smile once again feeling the breeze toss my hair as I take my boots off and the last of the winter snow under my toes. It's not a long walk to my favorite spot in the forest to watch the sunset and that's the only place I can truly be me.
When I arrived the ice over the small stream had just started melting and the moss on the boulders that I stand on coming back to life. Not many birds had started their journey north again but if I had the choice I'd never come back. I sat there the rest of the afternoon that soon turned into the evening with the sun setting early. Listening to the animals waking up from a long winters nap, the trees coming back to life, and the few birds that stayed all winter.
As I opened my eyes again to see that my ears and tail had grown out and the sun had just started to set when the voice in my head started to sing for this was the time that my mind was set free. I was soon humming the song not sure where it would go only to realize that I had started singing.

I was out hunting with the guys, it was just the three of us, when this weird sent hit my snout. I had never smelt anything like that before, though I wouldn't say it was intoxicating but it was odd like it didn't belong. So not knowing what it was I looked over to the guys.
"You guys smell that," I mindlinked.
"Yeah, what is it," mindlinked back the dark brown wolf next to me.
I do a wolfish shrug and start running to where the sent is coming from. We weren't walking for long before we came to the edge of our pack territory and that's when I started to here the sound of singing. Everyone's ears perked up as we slowed down and I shifted into human form. We then reached a clearing with a stream running through it when the music stopped. That was when I spotted her.
It wasn't bright enough to see all her features because she had her back to me, but from what I could tell. She had a slender figure but wasn't quite tall and yet wasn't short. Her long raven hair went just below her shoulder blades and the sent that we followed came from her. I took a cautious step forward not wanting to scare her when I accidentally stepped on a stick. Her head whipped towards me and I was frozen by her piercing blue glaze.
