Chapter 5 : A New Job

Amaya's POV
"Go home without me Ana! I've got something to do, can you make dinner tonight?" I asked Ana when the bell rang.

"Yeah, sure, just come home quick, the others will worry if you don't come back."

"Got it!" I shouted as she ran towards the car. I waited for her to drive away, the pulled out my phone and dailed the number April had given me.

"May!" April shouted as soon as I pressed call.

"Okay that scared me..." I muttered.

"Who's on the phone?" I heard the voice of the person who had sold the house to my siblings and I ask.

"It's the girl I was talking about! Amaya!"

"Amaya, that's girl who bought our old house..."

"She finished second amoungst the first years, I only beat her by pulling a cheap trick."

"Someone please explain what's going on..." I begged.

"Give me the phone." He said. "Meet us at the location I'm going to text to you, I'll explain there." He added, then hung up. Seconds later I got a text from April's number. I went to the location and found it was a small cafe in a back alley.

"May!" April shouted running towards me.

"Be quiet, we'll attract attention..." The person who sold us the house said. "I don't believe I said my name when we last met, I'm Oliver, and this is my ridiculously loud little sister, April."

"I would introduce myself as well, but you already know who I am."

"Let's head inside." April muttered while she walked through the door. Oliver and I followed her. "Now, time to explain."

"Okay..."

"Long story short we're criminals..." Oliver muttered.

"That was blunt." I responded.

"You're not even going to react to us being criminals?"

"Nope, should I? Now why am I here?"

"We have an offer for you, your family is low on money and Ana's job isn't enough to pay for all the school tuitions and food, correct?" Oliver said.

"Yes..."

"April thinks you'd be the perfect person to work with her, I can't go with her because I'm very sickly, and she's having trouble doing all the jobs on her own, she keeps coming home covered in injuries."

"What do I get out of it?"

"Half of the money earned."

"Deal, what do I need to do?"

"You'll be helping April on all the jobs she gets."

"By jobs do you mean orders to kill people?"

"That and smaller things like robbing certain stores."

"I'm in."

"Great, there's a job starting in a couple minutes, get changed into these." He said, handing me a pile of black clothes.

"Can I got with her? I need to change too." April asked.

"Go ahead." Oliver said, as I walked into the bathroom and April followed me. I put on the clothes I had been given, it was a black top, black shorts, Black socks, black combat boots and a black sweater with a hood. I decided to put the sweater around my waist as it was hot. April walked out of the stall, she was waering the same thing as me.

"Can I put your hair up?" She asked.

"Yeah sure." I responded. She put my hair into a high ponytail and then preceded to put her own hair up. She had brown hair, just like me, but hers was darker.

"There now we match!"

"We already matched before..."

"And? I don't see the point."

"There is none, nevermind." I muttered.

"What's with the choker?"

"Well, it has a button that calls the police when a criminal shows up, but I guess it's useless if I'm a criminal." I answered, uncliping the clasps at the back.

"Keep it on, it looks cool, and there's always the option of calling the police and playing the victim if things go badly."

"Okay." I muttered, putting it back on.

"Let's head out, Oliver will probably be waiting for us." She said, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the door. "We're done changing!" She added once we left the bathroom.

"You two look great." Oliver said, after that he went on the explain the job we had to do, we had to kill another student at our school.
