Morning had come finally and Raven was up with her master in her normal rearguard villager outfit rubbing her swollen red eyes. Her master was reading a letter and has a serious look. “What is it Master?” She asked him as she poured them both some Coffee for she knows she really needed it.

“Shadow delivered his report early this morning it seems while he was watching Eliezer he witnessed Miss Reed in an almost seducing way talk to Hidebrand and yet he has witness her talk to Mathazar claiming she wanted his love but if that is the case why talk to a knight that way.” Their Master explained and Raven ran her fingers through her now really short hair that barely went past her ears. 

“I Never trusted her the day we meet she felt to fake for my liking my fear is she my be in line with the Red Robin or maybe.........” Raven said as she stopped.

“You think she could be this Red Robin don’t you Raven.” Her master said as he looked at her.

“My gut has never been wrong about these things but with her being so close to Mathazar I can not just yell she is the Red Robin trying to kill me people may think its to crazy because of the facade she has developed over the years to gain those trust even if she falsely likes them only for gain.” Raven explained to her master as she sipped her coffee.

“you might be right though Shadow tried to follow her last night but lost her and this Red Robin suddenly appeared and followed her through the wood and according to this she has hired help that already killed two Lunarain Assassin that from what he remember hearing the Butler released and claimed was well protecting you for some strange odd reason.” Her master explained and Raven raised an eyebrow at him. 

“Wait protecting me but why I do not know who he is and he barely know me why did he release those who tried to kill me at first then basically have them willingly protect me.” Raven was now just flat out confused for this made no sense to her.

“It seems that way and she paid the goones that are loyal to her still to kill those assassin and I know those men they are just refugees like you were when you were little no home no way to make a living they do not deserve that fate.” Her master explained and Raven just sighed for this was just not easy and soon got up and walked back to her room.

“What are you planning Raven?” Her master asked but she closed the door and after a bit came back in her assassin gear and mask. “Raven?” Her master looked at her.

“I will be back.” Was all she said and soon disappeared making her master worry.

Allister was waiting for Eliezer to come in to discuss a few things with him about the upcoming few weeks along with cost and other details that needed to be iron out. As he was pulling a book from a shelf he heard the window opened and when he turned around Raven was standing there with her arms crossed once he turned already right around making Allister cover his mouth to prevent a scream but ended up stumbling backwards into his bookcase.

Once he had calmed down before his niece he took a deep breath. “Raven what are you doing here and also you almost gave me a heart attack I was not expecting you to be here at all.....Wait why are you here especially in your assassin gear?” He asked her and Raven had her arms crossed before him still.

Hidebrand was with Eliezer heading to Allister’s office for his protection after all the warnings Raven gave them. As they made it to the door Hidebrand stopped and heard Allister say Ravens name and how she was in her assassin gear. “What Raven is here?” Hidebrand said and looked at Eliezer.

Raven looked at Allister. “I want Answers Allister and do not play mind games on me my brother Shadow delivered a report about last night and one thing that stood out as he followed Red Robin and listened to her talk to her goones is that you released the Lunar assassin that were originally sent to kill me and now are there to protect me all of a sudden under your orders.” Raven said to him with her arms still crossed. 

“Raven please understand obviously you are in danger I am just trying to protect you......” He said but she cut him off.

“Why are you protecting a complete stranger/orphan like me and obviously know I am an assassin and can take care of myself the first time I meet you was when you appeared at my house was to interrogate me for the first time.” Raven said getting really mad now. “You are hiding something, I know you are so I want answers and I am not leaving until I get them.” Raven said and even with her mask  it was obvious to see she was angry and was tired of not getting answers from people that she knows are hiding the truth from her.

“Raven please calm down why don’t you comeback later I have Eliezer coming today to discuss upcoming events and also go over cost on things.” Allister said trying to avoid this all.

“No I am getting my answers I already cried all night last night in my masters arms, he had to put me to bed because I passed out from crying after what happened yesterday for I know you told Eliezer I was an assassin and that he was my original target who....who probably does not even believe that I love him with all my heart and probably thinks I kept this all up to just take him down when that was not true.” Raven said to him and choking sound could be heard from her voice for it sounded like she was about ready to cry again.

“Raven please I am sure he might still love you he could just be confused and feels betrayed I am sorry I told him but I feared Mathazar would try something so I was only trying to protect him and you both but there are something things even you are not even ready to know for safety reasons.” Allister tried to explain but Raven took her dagger out and stabbed the bookcase next to his head.

“No I am not a child anymore and I am tired of being in the dark when I know someone is keeping me in the dark.” She said and soon the door opened for Hidebrand couldn’t take it and opened the door and Raven looked at them both. 

“Oh boy how long have you two been out there?” Allister asked as Raven put her dagger away and turned her head away keeping her hood on.
