#1 of Council of Assassins

Just something that came from a comic drawing I started years ago...

"My name is Shadow. I'm not your adverage joe type of fur. I'm not a city girl, but I'm forced to live here. I work for the council. No, it's more of the council of assassins own my life. They put me in situations to keep me on my toes. They order me to take out anyone they see unfit for the organization. I've been lucky enough to make it to mentor status and I've had many sidekicks in my short time being a teacher. In my opinion having this position is the worst job you could have within the organization, but so many people strive to get it. Maybe they're not aware of what you have to do. The major problem I have is being a mentor of a fur who is unfit for the organization. You must kill them. The council sees nothing wrong with that. They think since they've seen so much that killing them is the best option. They are the council of assassins... and I'm one of them."


Shadow landed on top of the 20 story building. She began to observe her surroundings when she could tell she wasn't alone. It was her time to fullfill the wishes of the council, and they were watching her closely.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" She hissed. Shadow stood to defend herself with her duel hook swords at the ready. Her silky black fur blowing in the wind. She began walking around the rooftop. "I said Show yourself!"

Nothing moved around her. She spun around eyeing everything she saw to make sure her eyes were not playing tricks. Shadow saw nothing that was different then any other rooftop.

"ZAP!" the noise came from her left. Shadow started walking towards the noise. Her eyes landed on a small gray mouse. She narrowed her eyes.

"Very funny!" Shadow growled at the mouse. She knew the device, it was the council's way to communicate to their assassions when in the field. No one would expect a toy mouse. She wanted to kick the damn thing, but decided otherwise.

She put her duel blades in her one hand and picked the mouse up. Looking at it she saw it had Jackson's markings. It's eyes were the camera. "Do I look like a fool, Jack?"

"At the moment, yes. Yes you do." Shadow knew this fur. They both started working for the council around the same time. He was promoted into computer communications. In her eyes, he had the better job.

"Jerk." She hissed at it.

"Now, now Shadow..." the voice from the mouse began, "You're lucky to even be alive. You and I know that. They just want to keep their eyes on you at all costs. Can't I have a little fun?"

"No, Jack. does it look like I have fun while you sit on your ass all day?" Shadow licked at her lips trying to not let anger fullfill her.

"You have a job to do." It replied.

"Yeah, I know." She sighed, she was here to kill her protege. He was unfit for what the council wanted of him. Shadow knew it was more then just that. Her potege and her became too close. Emotions can ruin everything when in a job such as this. It was a threat to the council. It was a threat to Shadow and her life. Thats why she old him to run. Shadow knew his hiding kills were top notch. It was one of the reasons he was choosen.

"Then why are you standing around?" The voice from the mouse yelped at her. She knew the new voice anywhere. It was violet the commander of computer communications. Violet was jealous of Shadow's abilities. Shadow just thought she was annoying. Shadow dropped the mouse on the ground. It fell with a loud thud. "Shadow? Shadow! You need to go now! Prime time is NOW!"

Shadow rolled her eyes and started walking away from it. Her voice sad but dull, "Sometimes the kill rush isn't worth it."

"What?" Violet's voice shreaked from the device. "How could you say that! You need to do this! No wonder why you never got the position of head-"

Shadow tuned her voice out, sliding her blades into their holders, she got ready to jump to the next building. She looked down between the two buildings
