《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 18: Scary Opponent
Advertisement
“I Just confirmed it, the Blond is Shelly Duncan and she is on our wanted board. She’s a serial killer that will gives unwilling men a “sex change” while they are awake and the lucky one’s die during the procedure. Also she got on the board for her work on a guild member, he wasn’t as lucky.” Said Jason.
“Why hasn’t she been caught?” asked Ash.
“She has an annoying ability, it’s teleportation. If she can see it then she can teleport to that spot and that’s all we got on her about the ability. We are gonna need to be careful, she has killed three full-fledged blacklist agents already.”
“Damn, this sucks. So, what will she do to the two girls?”
“She will kill them. The only comparable situation to this one is when she killed a guy and his girlfriend. When the girlfriend came home unexpectedly. As for the girlfriend, she only received a stab to the heart. Now on to the plan, we are gonna wait for sundown and you will be near the house waiting. You will go in and kill everyone after I take a shot at Shelly from my sniper rifle. I will come and back you up if needed but you're on you're own for the first few minutes. I need to stress this, even though I am confident in my sniping, there is a very good reason for her to still be alive after being put on the board.”
With the sun down Ash is crouching down near a window waiting for Jason to take his shot. Inside the two guys and girls were playing drinking games while Shelly was upstairs with her next victim. While waiting Ash did his best to keep his composure, this is easily the most danger he has ever been in.

“Crack.”
With the glass breaking, Ash then gets up, smashes the window, and jumps inside. Like a deer in headlights, John was blankly staring at Ash. Ash then charged and stabbed John in the chest, penetrating his heart. After the stab, Ash then takes out a handgun and shoots one male and two females with two chest shot and a headshot.
After killing four people, Ash uses his goggles to look for the remaining two. With infrared he finds one person in the second story of the house but they were not moving even with the noise. The thing that stood out the most was that there was only one person. Before he could contact Jason, he felt a presence near him and instinctively drove forward. Even with the quick reaction, he still got a large cut across his back.
When he turns around, Shelly stood right in front of him with a large knife. Then she disappears and out of desperation, Ash jumps out of the broken window. Without a chance to catch his breath, she appears in front of him and swings down her knife. Before she could connect, a shot rang out and Shelly fells to the ground. She then disappeared from sight.
“You alright Ash?”
“Yeah, just a cut to the back.”
“Good, I winged her shoulder just now but we need to be weary of her attacking. Before we leave we should check on the guy upstairs.”
With that dialog done we proceed upstairs and entered the room the guy was in. He is out cold, he has clearly been drugged, but he is alive and hasn’t been operated on. After confirming his situation I proceed to slit his throat and we took our leave.
I can now look forward to getting stitches, thanks Shelly.

The Many Lives of Cadence Lee
Cadence Lee thought she was a normal girl, perhaps a little well to do, but not exceptionally so. She had her college classes, she had her job that her uncle gave her, and she had a nice boyfriend who was sweet if a little awkward. Except, when a mugger accosts Cadence and her boyfriend attempts to wrestle a gun away from the criminal, Cadence ends up shot. A normal girl, with the kind of wound Cadence had, would die. Cadence managed to do that part. But a normal girl wouldn't then open her eyes again and learn that death is not as permanant for her as it is for other people. She can be reborn again, and again. Each time stronger and with new abilities. The catch? Any world she is born into, she can never return to. She has infinite lives, but only one life for each. So begins The Many Lives of Cadence Lee.

I do not know when the next port call will be so I will be on another Hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. Scribblehub is not blocked on my work computer so I will be able to update my story on that website. It can be found here.) This story is a draft, I'll be doing my best to update monthly; work might get in the way of that so some update might be delayed an extra week or so. There will be roughly 31 chapters in total (I have the entire plot written down for the first book and the overall plot written down for the entire series.). (Summary is also a WIP and will change later to better fit the story. Any advice on how to write a summary for multiple POV's would be amazing)
