I looked around the city, at night it was the best and I got to experience it every night. A voice rang threw my head reminding me on what I'm here for. I checked my pocket mirror once more to make sure my make-up was perfect before going up to the building. The security guard let me in without a second glance, everyone now just cared about what you look like and then you're allowed in every ball ever. Once I got in the ballroom I scanned it, making sure it had what I was told. There it was, the silver password-locked door. I just had to get in, take the files and leave. I've done harder missions. My smile grew bigger as I scanned the room more, everyone was busy, but sadly I had to give time until blood could drip down from all the smiling faces. Walking forward to explore more my eyes landed on one boy in particular. The man had almost pitch-black hair and ocean-blue eyes, and a little yellow smiley face pin was on his black suit. Unconsciously I bee-lined it straight towards the corner he was in, I tapped his shoulder to get his attention after standing there without him noticing me for a minute.
"I did a mighty fine job ignoring you before, miss" he hissed at me,
"I don't like being ignored, darling" I retorted. He stared at me for a good second before blankly staring past me.
"What's your name, sir?" I questioned trying to make some small talk, maybe he could be the first frown that I set tonight. More staring only answered my question, I sighed in annoyance.
"I'm Petra," I said, still waiting for an answer, he sighed realizing I wasn't giving up. Honestly I probably would of but he didn't need to know that.
"Helen, don't comment on it" he sneered, I simply laughed at him. The music in the background changed as I slowly pushed my mission to the back of my mind. A slow song started playing as everyone paired up with someone, probably their date or maybe some random person. I bowed as a stuck my hand out to him,
"May I have this dance with you, darling?" I asked, I was only going to use this so I could get closer to the door and opening without people seeing. He looked at me as if I was crazy before his stare went blank and absent-minded, after a couple of seconds he seemed like he was back. He sighed and grabbed my hand bringing me upwards from my bowing position. We danced slowly around the room, following the same movements of everyone else. His eyes never left mine, and mine never left his. 'Get this mission done' I heard a loud booming sound say in my mind, I sighed as I led him towards the door. We inched ever so slowly towards the door, once we got close enough I started to remember the code I was given when I suddenly felt myself getting spinned. I looked at him in bewilderment, did he really just spin me away from my mission? HE would kill me if I didn't get those files. We danced away now doing our own dance to the orchestra's song. It was full of spins and dips and fighting over what way, but yet graceful and seemed like normal dance. As he dipped me yet again while going back to the door I could feel his breath near my ear.
"I didn't know he taught dance or are you self-taught?" he whispered in my ear. I smirked at him as I recovered from the dip and continued to dance over to the door,
"He doesn't teach a lot but neither do Slenderman and his brothers" I responded. Now we both revealed we knew secrets, and know I was able to complete he password. I heard a small click and then I spun out of his arms as I opened the door. I waved a goodbye at him as I deceneded down the stairs, almost at the door that led to it all I heard footsteps. Then arms spin me around,
"Helen, we both know that you don't like to dance" I sighed,
"Yea, but frankly boss says I have to" I smirked at his comment.
"Well, I can give you some dance lessons" I offered he looked at me with a skeptical look,
"Oh?"
After that it turned into a knife dance, I pulled out my own twin daggers and he pulled out his knife. Clashes of metal could be sounded the basement and the occasional grunt. Now both of us had blood on us and bruises all over,
"Helen, just make it quick for both of us and die" I sneered, jumping forward to stab him, he only slid to the side. Catching myself before I fell, I glared at him.
"Thought you could fight better" he laughed, my make-up was now coming off and my smile was see able now, "I also thought Jeff can kill better" he continued. Sweat dripped from my forehead as I walked towards him,
"Listen, I'm going to get those files and your going to stay out of my way" I demanded before pushing past him. A hand gripped mine so I didn't get closer to the door,

"You don't seem like you should work for him"

This stopped me in my tracks
"Excuse me?" I asked,
"You don't seem like the type that would be able to handle a demon" he rolled his eyes
"You don't know fuck about what I'm capable of" I grumbled
"Peter, quite the act" my eyes widened to my real name while he only chuckled, "You were basically obsessed with me in college, how could I forget even if you look different"
"Helen be smart"
"I really thought you were too innocent to kill a fly"
"Helen"
"I mean you couldn't even stand up for yourself, you needed Anastasia without her you were nothing" I turned around quickly pushing my knife to his neck.
"Don't ever say that name, don't ever mention any of them again" I snarled, tears threatened to seep through my eyes. My knife pushed farther into his neck as blood spilled, his same expression less face that I fell in love with. He easily pushed the knife away considering my loose grip, he cupped my cheek and smiled softly at me.
"Cry" Was the only thing he said, I wanted to but I couldn't, I haven't cried since Anastasia, it was sign of weakness. But he continued to cup my cheek and then started to rub his thumb on it. Tears came done my face as he did so, I couldn't even imagine how disappointed he must be in me. But Helen didn't tell me to stop, he only continued to rub his thumb on my tear stained cheek. I placed my head on his chest letting all the tears that I've been holding on for come out. He moved both of his hands to my head and held me closer, this wasn't like him. Even though I knew he was acting or someone was telling him to do this I didn't mind. I felt comforted for the first time in years. He slowly brought us up the stairs and I was presently surprised when no one saw the door open and us emerge, he led me to a dark corner where I could continue crying.
"Why have-haven't you killed me ye-yet" I stuttered
"Trying to figure that out myself" he responded. The party ended rather quickly after that and we both went out separate ways. I could only think that my boss would kill me when I got back, but surprisingly when I got back he only sent me to my room for the day. I flopped down on my bed and closed my red eyes to have a decent sleep. A quiet knock on my window woke me up, I looked at the clock and saw 9:00 pm, sitting up I moved the curtains on my window to see nothing. Wait.. there was something, three tan coloured files laying on my window sill with a note. I opened my window carefully and took the files and note inside my room, I looked down at what was in my hand now and saw the same files that I was sent to get, then the note. I picked it up and read it a smile plastering on my face
'Hey, seems you forgot this. Didn't mean to distract you but it was what I was sent to do sorta, hope you didn't die
~BP'
