Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Not the only Assassin

"We're coming near Newsham." the man who Vincent saved said out loud for him to hear.

Vincent was inside the wangen with Godfrey and the daughter of that man. She was playing with the little brown bear, he learns that her name is Sallie Raymond and the father's name is Alan Raymond.

That day Vincent save the two life turn out they were going to Newsham too as Alan was a Merchant who sells goods to make money.

The man was gladly let Vincent tag along as he just save their lives, so the man had no reason to say no to him.

Tagging along with them Vincent was mostly quiet on the trip to the town Newsham. Sallie try talking to him from time to time as the girl was interested in him, but he didn't pay much attention to her and just kept to himself.

Once Alan was done talking to the guards out front, he gained permission to enter. When inside the town Newsham Vincent jump off the back of the wangen with Godfrey by his side.

"Thank you." Vincent said to the man and give him a few gold coins, he notices this, but too late to decline the kind gift from him.

Vincent didn't look back and kept walking around the streets of Newsham until finding a weapon shop before going in, he told the brown bear to wait outside and then enter inside the building. When inside he saw a buff looking bald guy standing behind a desk with weapons display for those visit his shop on the walls.

"Welcome customer, I am Robert the own of this weapon shop, what item do you seek to buy today." the buff man greeted Vincent who soon walk in the man weapon shop.

"I am here to buy 5 throwing Knives." Vincent said while walking up to the man.

"Only 5 throwing Knives that only cost you 5 gold for each throwing Knife."

Vincent give Robert 5 gold and then received the 5 throwing Knives, but before he left, he wanted to see if this man knows anything about his target that live here.

"I am new here is there anything interesting to know going on in this town."

Robert heard Vincent and put a hand on his chain thinking for a moment until finally saying something.

"Well there only one thing going on in this town not sure if it would be interesting to you, but it about two young noblemen. One a Knight name Don and the other a mage name Bernard these two are fighting over a noble girl's hand in marriage can you believe that, I mean she a lovely girl, but they are others out their to pick."

"So the two of them are fighting over a girl, what her name." Vincent ask.

"Velma she a kind hearted and lovely girl, but like I said not sure if that something interesting to you."

"No it fine thank you kindly for giving me your time to tell me." Vincent thank the man.

"It nothing to thank me about hell it beat standing here all damn day." VIncent said his farewell to the man leaving his place.

"Come Godfrey let look around this town before I have to do my job." Vincent said while he follow behind him.

The two of them made there way to the marketplace of Newsham it was a busy area where people were selling and buying things. He notices that Alan and his daughter were selling things there as well, but Vincent made sure not to be seen by them.

Walking around the Marketplace Vincent didn't buy much things only meat for Godfrey to enjoy. The only thing that caught his attention was a crowd of people gather around slave Merchant who was drawing in these people's attention.

The slave Merchant was showing the people of his collection of interesting slaves for the people of Newsham to buy or to say for the rich people who live in this town.

The Slave Merchant have different races of slave to sell there was human, Elves, Dwarfs and many others it a sad fate to end it up in such a way.

While Vincent was listing to the slave Merchant try to talk to the people into buying his slaves, he notices two mysteries black cloaked fingers who face was unable to be soon because of the hood making that happen.

Vincent has strong feeling those two can not be up to anything good and so made sure to follow them as they seem to moving close to someone among the crowd.

He notices that this person was wearing clothes that look better and seem more expensive than other people here meaning he was no common peasant here.

Vincent got close to this person who seem to be these two target and watch their moment as that was what he was only going to do, but that chance when someone calls out this person's name.

"What do you think lord Don." Vincent was shocked to hear this person as he was the one that hired him to assassinate someone for him.

At that moment one of the mystery black cloaked fingers made a move against him where a sword was unleashed from that person and Vincent was not going to allow that.

He pushes lord Don out of the way when that mystery black cloaked finger strike at the time blocking it was his dagger.

"Damn it! Who the hell are you to get in my way." Vincent hear a girl voice coming from the person in front of him.

"My lord! Are you alright." a older looking man quickly ran to lord Don said worrying about him.

"Yes…. I am fine Simon, I am not hurt or anything." Lord Don answer.

"Regina! He is not important to focus on the target is and that person must not get away to live another day."

"Yes mistress Helen!." the girl before him answer the other mystery finger who tone was much more of a mature older women.

noticing that things were going to get out of hand Vincent spoke without turning his head to lord Don.

"Get out of here! These two are here to Assassinate you!." Vincent warn him as he can see the black cloaked wears.

Not only him, but the people there too which created painack and chaos among them as they ran.

"Oh great, now things have gone out of control we must get this mission done fast."

The one called Helen made a move charging towards lord Don seeing this Vincent about to get in her way, but it seems the other one called Regina got in his way.

"Where do you think your going, you got in my way now I get in yours." Regina mack him, but he didn't care much and only focus on lord Don as he must make sure he lives.

Lord Don saw Helen coming at him and he quickly rise up from the ground taking out his sword and taking a stand to face her head on.

'Look at this fool think he can take me on this is going to be easy.' Helen thought as she smile.

Vincent could tell that Helen is more skilled and dangerous than the one before him.

"Hey you should pay attention are you'll lose your life." Regina said while unleashing another sword as it seem this girl is a double sword user.

"Your in my way." that was the only thing Vincent said to her as he then acted by punching the poor girl in the face that she didn't see coming.

Vincent was not going to waste a single second on this girl sending a knee into her stomach after the punch and then elbowed her in the back as that was the last thing he had done to her.

Taking out Regina Vincent quickly went after Helen who saw him coming and see that her disciple was beat down made the women anger turning her attention on him.

That what Vincent wanted as the two clash with each other.

"I don't find it pleasing of a male to beat up a female it make me piss." she said, but Vincent didn't respond back to her.

"So what you can you not speak fucker." Vincent again didn't say a word just only analyzes the women before him seeing that the weapon she uses is a spear.

He must not allow his guard to go down with her.

"Fine then let us just fight no words needed." Helen then kick Vincent in the stomach making him take a few steps back.

Then she uses her spear to impale him, but he would dodge ever impaling strike coming at him. Helen can see that Vincent was someone she could not take lightly either as she stop with her attack then switch it up.

Helen spins her body around with her spear using the body part of it to slammed into Vincent body to send him flying onto his back to the ground. She wasted no time and send her spear downward to impale Vincent head.

Vincent wasn't going to die that easily as he quickly dodge it by rolling to the side where the spear then impale the ground. Yet Helen knew that he can dodge this with easy and so she swiftly moved her spear upward where the blade part of it cut Vincent left shoulder.

Helen was the first to draw blood in the fight and Vincent could see that making him have to put more effort into this fight.

Lord Don on either hand was watching this fight not to far and was feeling hopeless in not helping Vincent fighting against Helen as he a knight who must be ready to protect and help those in need.

"My lord we must get out of here quickly while the attacker is busy." Simon was trying to get lord Don to leave with him, but he wasn't going to do that.

"I am going to help." Lord Don said as charge at Helen with sword in hand.

Vincent and Helen saw lord Don coming their way and Helen forgot for a time that she had a job to get done, so she couldn't waste any more time on the one she fighting right now.

Vincent didn't have the time to stop fighting, so he decided to use one of the throwing knives as one was thrown into the ground near lord Don making him stop from coming any closer.

"Smart move." Helen compliment Vincent by his quick thinking then punch him in the face.

Helen then turned her focus back to lord Don charging at him again, but Vincent was not going to let her kill him and use another throwing knife to throw at her yet that was easily slap away by her spear, but there was another behind that first one as it was able to hit her right Shoulder.

Lord Don didn't listen to Vincent threat when he threw that throwing Knife and attack Helen who easily block every one. Vincent was going to aide lord Don, but something unexpected happen.

"Look out!." a small girl warn Vincent, but it was too late for him to act as a sword slash his back.

This made him fall down to one knee where Regina stand before him.

"Like I said should pay attention and now I am going to take your life."

Vincent see her rise both her swords ready them to end his life and he couldn't move fast thanks to the attack from behind.
