Ok, I know I have other stories to wok on, but I can't get this one out of my head. So I have to write it out. It shouldn't be too bad. It's named after and based on a book by Wendy Rosnau, but I have my own twists and turns. I think you'll like it.
Perfect Assassin
Summary: Riza Hawkeye is the best assassin there is, just as good as her father, Roderick Hawkeye, in which all her loyalties and love lie. There is one thing she must do before she can claim the title of the best. She must avenge the death of her mother and the capture of her father by killing Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist. By a twist of fate, Riza is rescued by the colonel when her plane crashes. While her memory slowly returns, her heart starts to open up to the alchemist, and Roy, who is known as the biggest womanizer in the military, starts to have feelings for her. What will Riza do when she realizes that this man is the cause of all her pain? No one said the life of a killer was easy, but neither is love.
Disclaimer: You know the drill. I don't own Full Metal Alchemist or Perfect Assassin. Would I really be writing this if I did? Do I really have to answer that question?
"Talking."
Thinking or Past Thought
It Starts
Thud! That was the only sound David Carlton's body made when it hit the pavement. Carlton was dead before contact with the ground. Of course, that was easy with a VSS Vintorez sniper rifle, especially when a skilled assassin is behind the trigger. No one even saw the killer on top of the roof flash away before Carlton hit the sidewalk.
The black figure got into a blue car that was waiting a block away. The dissembled rifle was thrown in the back along with a pair of black gloves and matching beanie hat. The redhead in front turned to his partner and smiled.
"That was excellent, Miss Riza. The shot was absolutely…"
"On target," Riza said as she let her blonde hair fall on her shoulders. She had done it again. She had killed a man that deserved to die.
"Not only was it on target, but it was perfect. The cleanest shot that I have ever seen, just like Roderick."
"Please, Collin, that's enough."
"Of course, Miss Rizz," Collin said as he turned around and drove. He had called her that ever since he met her at the tender age of ten. He was twenty then, and now she was twenty-five, a full grown woman instead of an innocent girl. He loved her so much that he would die for her, but Riza could not return that love. Collin was like a brother to her, but that wasn't the only reason. She had to finish something.
"Riza, excellent shot." Riza smiled as her father stood behind her. She loved it when he praised her, which wasn't often since he was always gone somewhere. She understood. He was an important assassin for the government, the state military. He had to deal with evil men everyday, but no matter what he did, she was always loyal to him.
"Thanks, papa. Do you think mama would be proud?" Roderick was shocked at the question, but he smiled at his daughter.
"I think she would if she was here. I am very proud of you. You are almost as perfect as me. One day you will be able to keep this world from those evil men that took your mother away. Just be patient and remember. I will always love you."
She was fifteen at the time he said that, and the war against Isbal had just ended. Her mother had been killed in the war by a traitor to her father. The same man had captured her father only months ago, and now Roderick was behind bars rotting away. She couldn't let that pass. She would get her revenge.
"Is something wrong, Miss Rizz?" Collin asked bringing her out of her trance.
"No, Collin. I was just thinking," she answered back. She heard him sigh as they drove past Carlton's dead body. Apparently a man had found him and called the police. There was a good size crowd around him, but Riza ignored it whiled Collin talked.
"It'll get easier. The key to this job is patience, precision, and indifference. Never let your emotions get in the way and you'll do fine. If you think too much, you'll only get in trouble.
"Well, we'll head onto Kimbly. He's the alchemist that blew everything up. Now he's on the loose, so we can get him right away. Then we'll go to the post in Dublin to get Ricardo. After that…" Riza lost interest in Collin's words. He had everything planned out based on her father's kill list. All of these men were evil, but she didn't care about the order. She only cared about the man that killed her mother. He was number fifteen on the list, but she didn't care. What did it matter if someone lived a little longer or if someone died sooner? They would all die soon. She would leave Collin after she hit Ricardo, and then go after the Flame Alchemist.
Mother, I promise you my love. Father, you have my unlimited loyalty. She closed her eyes hard to keep the tears from coming as she promised the last thing to herself. And to those evil men who took them away, I promise a swift and just death.
How was it? It'll get better. There are a few similarities between the original Perfect Assassin, but I will put my own spin on it. Please review. I'll try to get it out as soon as possible. Thanks.
