Ch ^ The Master Assassin Pt III
FLASHBACK CONTINUES
Chapter 6 The Master Assassin Part III
Sarah straightened herself out and entered the meeting room.
Shouting and arm gesturing surrounded her.
"Quiet!" Sara thundered out, voice menacing. I am the master and I decide how to handle this! Look at you! Ready to throw away our Brotherhood! All based on the words of some unknown wizard?!! All the things he offered you, you already have! I am ending this meeting to give everyone a chance to think things over."
Total silence greeted her.
"We all know there is only one way to leave the guild." She raised her right arm, robe slipping and exposing the hilt of her dagger.
She looked around the assembled assassins, glaring at them. They understood her implication immediately.
"Assassins, touch my mark."
All complied.
"Do you understand my order?" she asked, looking around for a guilty reaction. Whoever the betrayer was, he was hiding his emotions well.
Everyone stated in unison. "We are to go to our domicile and await further orders. We are not to leave for anything, thus risk our own death."
Sara smiled glad they understood the seriousness of tonight's events.
"Very well my brothers. We will meet again when Bootstray and Slightly return to us."
The assassins filed out quietly to the apparition room and were gone with a plop.
Sara went back to the ceremony room and sat down next to the pool of blood. She sat there quietly, willing the blood to give up its secret.
__________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile, back to Bootstray and Slightly ...........
Bootstray and Slightly and arrived at Malfoy Manor, Dolohov's body between them.
"Reckon this is the right place? Bootstray asked Slightly.
Slightly sneered back at Bootstray. "When has our master ever been wrong?"
Letting go of Dolohov, Bootstray held his hands up in supplication.
Slightly also let his grip on Dolohov go.
Both wizards pointed their wands to the body. Bootstray put a tracking spell tracking spell on Dolohov while Slightly added a listening spell.
They walked around, testing the wards. "What do you think?" Slightly asked.
Bootstray shrugged. "Very formidable, but I've encountered worse. Ready?"
They started chanting the spells to disillusion them. Then they started chanting the charms to weaken the wards enough not to go down, but to let them slip thru.
They grabbed the body and walked through the wards. They looked at one another grinning.
They dragged the body a mile up to the manor entrance way and unceremoniously dumped the body in front of the doorway.
They walked back to the gates and got comfortable, concealing themselves in the bushes.
Boostray got out the magically enhanced vision goggles and Slightly placed a parchment and quill on the ground.
Slightly drew out his wand and softly whispered Alohomara. They could hear shouting and the entrance door opened, spilling out a blonde haired wizard and a dark haired wizard with wands drawn. The quill began to glow and hovered, point on the parchment, began to write:
Lucius Malfoy: What the hell set off the wards? The way they are reacting, there is someone or something on the manor grounds!"
Severus Snape: "I believe someone; looking down and finding a body. It s Dolohov."
Lucious Malfoy: "Merlin! Look at his throat, how damaged it is. I think he's bled out! Look! There is nothing leaking out. Wonder where he s been?"
Severus Snape: The Dark Lord has been mentioning some guild that will aid us in victory.
Lucius Malfoy: Look in his mouth! That s his Mark shoved into his mouth!
Lucious Malfoy: Our Lord is not going to be pleased! I think you need to take Dolohov's body to our lord and explain.
Severus Snape: (Sneering) I think not old friend. Your Manor. Your responsibility. I certainly do not feel up to being tortured for drinking with you. Your booze is not worth that much. I'm sure you understand my point of view.
Bootstray and Slightly watched as the dark haired wizard walked away from the blonde one, headed for the gates. As the dark haired wizard passed by, Bootstray pointed his wand and whispered tracking and listening spells.
The dark haired wizard immediately stopped and looked around, a glare on his face and his wand out. After a few minutes, he put his wand away and continued through the gates. The wizards heard the pop as the wizard apparated away.
Bootstray and Slightly turned their attention back up to the blonde wizard watching as he drug the body up to his shoulder. The blonde wizard placed his wand on his left forearm and disappeared. They tapped their wands to the parchment and immediately disappeared as well.
Lucius arrived at a forest clearing. He spotted Lord Voldemort flanked by his most trusted lieutenant, Belletrix LeStrange.
"I hope this is important Lucious!" Shouted the Dark Lord. "I was embraced in another activity!"
Lucius looked at Bellatrix. She looked slightly flushed.
Lucious groaned inwardly, forcing that picture out of his mind. Lucius lowered the body to the ground and knelt.
"I assure you my Lord that I would not call if it was not of the upmost importance. Dolohov's body was delivered to my manor. Lucius wisely kept his eyes down. He hated being the messenger boy. The messenger was always severely punished for delivering bad news.
Voldemort walked up to the body and took the Mark out of the mouth of Dolohov. He stared at it. And then he looked out into the forest. His red eyes narrowed.
"Were you followed, Lucius?"
Still bowed, Lucious replied "How could I my Lord? I used the Mark."
Bootstray looked at the last comment on the parchment. If that wasn't an invitation to mischief, he would eat his hat.
He pointed his wand and whispered "Feindfyre". He concentrated on the hot fire until it encircled the clearing that Voldemort was in.
Slightly flicked his wand at the same time. "Soundous Machinegunnus"
All of a sudden, the rat rat ratting of a hundred muggle machines guns filled the air.
They looked back to the clearing and noticed that the witch and wizards in the clearing were gone, leaving only Dolohov's body.
"The master's assignment is complete. We have created mischief and there is a slight stench of piss here. We have one more opportunity. Should we take it?" Slightly asked Bootstray, as he glanced at the body.
"You've read my mind, mate!" replied Slightly as he grabbed the body.
Both wizards apparated with one destination in mind: Malfoy Manor.
________________________________________________________________________
Malfoy Manor ...........
Lucius arrived at his gates and lowered the manor's wards to allow him entrance. He quickly walked to the entranceway of his manor, nervously looking back. He had speed apparated 10 times and was weak. Plus he did not like the squishy feeling in his underwear.
He stopped.
Once again, on the entranceway was the body of Dolohov. He edged by it and allowed himself to enter the grand hallway. He would get a house elf to manage it in the morning. There was no way he was going back to the dark lord until he was summoned.
DEATH watched over the two wizards, slightly chuckling. Most thought that DEATH did not have a sense of humor, but that was incorrect. The wizards were fun to observe. And when DEATH would come for Voldemort, DEATH would remind the Dark Lord of this incident. DEATH was sure that Lucius was in for a good Obliviate soon.
DEATH faded away as his service was no longer required.
The assassins chuckled as they observed the blonde wizards actions. Maybe the master assassin will allow them a pint before returning.
Bootstray pressed his wand to the assassins mark. He could feel the master assassin connect with his mind.
"How fare you in your service, faithful assassin?" Sara formally thought.
"The knives have been bloodied " He responded formally back.
She skimmed through his mind. She chuckled to herself as they presented their mission. "I need you here."
She then felt a little disappointment in Bootstray's mind. "I suppose you do deserve it. Have a pint on me. Do not dally too long as there is much to be determined and I need you both here in other duties." She could feel his elation as she terminated the connection. It had been at least 200 years since she felt that way.
She checked both of their minds. Neither one of them was the betrayer. Soon she would approach her brothers and get down to business.
She sighed to herself as she walked up to the bookshelves in her quarters and pulled down the Ye Guide of the Assassin Mastre and began to read. There had not been a betrayal in several centuries. Maybe it would be wise to talk to DEATH about her vows and releasing her. She was tiring of the Guild and was angry that she did not catch this beforehand.
She began to read.
___________________________________________________________
AN: Now we know why the Dark Lord is paranoid about spies. He worries about retaliation from the Guild.
I am not being disrespectful about death FYI I would never do anything like this. Being an assassin does not mean murder all the time. I'm sure they appreciate a good prank. Bootstray and Slightly have only been in the guild 5 years, and are the youngest among the assassins, and not as tainted by death as of yet.
