I should have known better. The signs all pointed toward it, they told me she was a dangerous individual, but I was too naive, too ignorant of the darkness. That monster... she wears the skin of an innocent and pleasantly-looking teenager, but let it be known that she is as horrible as the demons of old.
The signs first appeared when she showed up at our doorstep. We should have expected something to be wrong. At the end what teenage girl would be willing to work for a mafia family? However, at first, we misunderstood them as mere travelers. The girl's companion certainly fit the bill nicely.
He is a wandering warrior, a samurai they call him in his country. A tall and muscular man whose sheathed blade, a weapon called a katana that he is never seen without.
The man is polite, polite yet warily and judging from how the girl addresses him holds an elder sibling role over her. At least one of the smarter guys in the family told me that 'Nii-chan' means something like Big Bro.
The girl on the other hand? She is a mystery altogether. She usually wears a cloak to conceal her features, but her voice is soft and gentle, a playful allure to it that reminded us of that adorable little sister we always secretly wanted, even if we would kill anyone who would make us confess that.
They seemed to be in need of employment, so the first time they visited the boss offered them a simple job. A group of our men would cause a distraction in town so that the girl and her brother could sneak into the dinner where a bag full of jewels was supposed to be secretly stashed. Pretty simple job, at least until the point came where it was revealed that in the wake of that retrieval they needed to torch down the building.
We expected them to back off, even the samurai thought it, but then that girl gleefully exclaimed she wanted to help us. In the end, the two of them left for the streets and traversed through the alleys of Oak toward the backside of the dinner.
It was there that they found a backdoor into the building, the samurai kept a careful watch over the area while the girl bounced inside as if she was inviting herself into her own home!
A thick blanket of mist spread within the building, and as soon as it came it disappeared as the girl mentioned having found the bag they needed. She actually sounded quite disappointed about how easy her little treasure hunt had gone. However, it was afterward that I started to realize the truth, the truth we were all ignorant about. Or perhaps too terrified of accepting it.
