Assassin’s loss
A/N: Muse tells me to write, I write, simple enough, this one is about everybody favorite assassin Jaffar, slightly AU I’m sure, and I suppose it has spoilers if you haven’t played the game, but if you haven’t, what are you doing here?
Chapter one - Loss
I couldn’t believe it, “How could you? How could you Nino?” I thought to myself, as I watched her kiss him.
I shook my head, “Couldn’t you see? Couldn’t see how I felt about you?”
A pressure came onto on my chest, and uneasy, breathless feeling that makes me feel weak, “I have to get out of here.”
I walked back to my tent and grab my pack, which is mostly filled with knives for all occasions, I also pack a few elixirs.
I quietly snuck out of my tent and disappeared into the night, certain that none cold have followed me.
That was three days ago, the feeling is still in my gut, just as strong as before, and every time I close my eyes I see her face near his and I have to open them so I don’t see her kiss him again.
I’m sitting in an alley; I haven’t spoken to any of the group since I left, and I helped in killing the dragon, so who needs me now? Now that the world is at peace again where does a killer fit in?
I’ve had no friends other than her…no one from the Black fang even talked to me, of course my own silence had never helped things, nor did my reputation.
But for her, I had started to open up, for her I was willing to bare my soul.
I reach into my pocket and withdraw a small pendant, the chain stained by the blood of a previous owner; I look at it closely before returning it to my pocket.
“I’ll hold onto it…until you are ready…”
My own words echoed in my mind, I felt bad for taking it in the first place, now the desire to get rid of it made me feel even worse.
I sigh, trying to think of some way, some way I can make you mine, but I know you would never feel anything for me, a cold blooded killer.
“I knew I’d find you somewhere.” I heard a familiar voice say from one side of the alley, it was the cheerful voice of Matthew.
When talking to me his cheerful voice always held resentment under the surface, it’s understandable of course, I killed the woman he loved, and sometimes I wondered why he has chosen to let me live.
I looked up at him, he was dressed in the garb of an assassin as well, though he was not as strong as me, he was much faster, and if he came to kill me then he might actually have a chance of success.
It’s not like I really care, Right now I’d welcome death.
“You were are to track I’ll give you that…” Matthew says quietly, “I almost didn’t notice you leave.”
“What do you want?” I say shortly to him, if he wants to kill me then I’d like him to spare me the preamble.
“You are a real moron Jaffar…I mean really, I’ve got an excuse, My woman is dead, but yours is still alive…” Matthew says sitting across from me, there is a quiet anger in his voice as he says his woman is dead.
I look away from him, “You don’t know the full story…I saw her…”
Matthew interrupts me, “With another man? The only reason she would pick someone else is because they had the guts to tell her.”
“She should know…” I say quietly, Matthew’s presence getting on my nerves.
Matthew rolls his eyes, “Girls are not physic Jaffar, and they need us to let them know how we feel… I wish I had told Leila before her death.”
He doesn’t come right out and say it, but I know he has not forgiven me; it’s hidden deep inside his demeanor.
“Why are you helping me Matthew…I killed her…you know that…” I say quietly looking him in the eye again, I don’t know what I’m trying to accomplish, but his attitude bothers me, why does he give a damn?
“Jaffar, I’ve been dead inside for a long time now…when I learned it was you that killed her…I was furious…I wanted nothing more than to end your life…but as time went on…as I watched you…and as I watched Nino…I thought more and more about my own situation…” Matthew says, keeping eye contact with me, “You two tip toeing around each other…pretending to just be friends…The way you protected her, even when there were five times the people against you…Yeah Jaffar…you took a loved one from me…but if I killed you, I’d be putting Nino through the same thing…”
I looked away, there were no lies were being told, he was telling me the truth, there was pain in his eyes, but other than that, nothing but the truth.
“We are all going to be at Eliwood’s castle for a party in two weeks, you really should tell her, if you don’t you will regret it for the rest of your life.” He said as he got up and started out the end of the alley.
“Thanks…” I mumble.
He stops, not looking back, “I don’t want your thanks, I just want you to use what I’ve told you.” And with that he was gone, disappearing like we assassins are prone to do.
I sigh, withdrawing the pendant from my pocket once again, “I should return this…if nothing else…I owe her that…”
I stood up and walked to the end of the alleyway, “Well it’s a long walk to Eliwood’s castle…better get moving…”
