4.

Bella was at the Hotel where she was suppose to go and inspect everything before she could actually get to her next victim on the list.

The victims weren't any good innocent people, but some cruel Lords who oppressed the innocents and created havoc among the normal citizens.

Noah, Bella, and Ian were more drawn towards people who couldn't fight or speak for themselves. Just like how their father once was. But they still were poles apart from their father. Bella trained like a normal assassin for their gang. But for her father, it was just for self defence.

When all 3 siblings got together and decided it's time for someone to get things done, Bella was chosen as a perfect fit.

She disguised herself so well, that even her brothers couldn't recognise her at one point. She had a full on black clothes with a black mask which had a voice chnager on so it was again good to keep her identity hidden.

Bella, when on missions, hardly spoke or didn't speak at all. She was quite and fast in her work. She never wasted time in talking or stalling. Nobody knew where she came from or where she left to. She loved black roses alot.

Her name, Black Rose came to be, because she kept black roses on the victim's body or somewhere near to them after she was done killing them. As the saying goes "One black rose to take a life".

Back to the present, Bella was at the same hotel where Adrian was now staying. Ian had known about it, but he kept it from Klaus or anyone. Noah did know, but he would care less. Not because he didn't care about it, rather he trusted his sister.

Bella got in the hotel and booked a room for herself. The room was on the same floor as Adrian. But she wasn't aware of who Adrian was or about his identity. Ian hadn't told her about it.

It was afternoon, Bella was done setting her things as she liked it. Her target was in the hotel opposite to the one she was staying in. She positioned the sniper gun and set the target on. She was waiting for the perfect time.

She thought of having a stroll around to find out more about the hotel exits in case of anything goes wrong. On her way. he passed by Adrian, Ashley and Klaus, but none even looked in her way.

Not that she wasn't beautiful enough to catch their eyes, but they had their enough share of problems when involved with girls (which was a good thing, lol).

The guard who was walking behind the three of them, recognised her and slightly bowed without letting anyone suspect. And she returned it as well. He knew what she was here for. Also the biggest part of his mission was to get her and Klaus out in case of anything.

Bella was now sure of the exits and she made sure to mark them in the map that she had of the hotel. She went back to her room.

It was dark enough, but she didn't turn on her lights. She was seated at the window behind her gun and waiting for the perfect time and shot. But her target was nowhere to be seen since afternoom when she last saw him.

But she heard some chaos outside. She peeked through the door hole to see and saw people running. She opened her door, but someone came in and locked it.

Before she could react, the man spoke up.

"Bella, it's me, Joshua." The guard spoke up and she relaxed.

"What is it?" She asked and he took a breath before answering.

"Something's not right here. When we came back to our room, the door was open, so we made sure our guns were out and we entered the room. But we were attacked by the person for whom these guys have come here. Also, your target is in the same room as them." He explained.

"Makes sense why I didn't see him through the evening till now. So the rat is out and wrecking havoc, that too in my territory. Good for me." Bella said dismounting the gun and taking out the small gun.

"Josh, I need you to do one thing for me, try and get the hotel evacuated, because if he's in here, then he's got his whole f*cking army here too. They will be disguised as common people. Be safe." Bella ordered Joshua before leaving.

"Yes, Rest assured." And he set out too.

MEANWHILE IN ADRIAN'S ROOM-

"What do you want?" Ashley asked the man who was busy cleaning his gun.

"What do I want? What do you want? What does your Boss want?" The man asked in returning.

"We, we are here to get back our man who betrayed us." Ashley replied, but he was hit in the face by one of the men.

"You-" he was hit again, and he knew it was better to keep quiet now.

"Listen, don't you dare hurt them. I just want my man back, how's that difficult now?" Adrian finally spoke up.

"It's not, you see. But now he is my man. So I can do whatever I want with him. And for first, bring him in." The man ordered and Mark was brought inside.

"You b*stard, you dare bite the hand that fed you." Ashley roared at him.

"If he betrayed you, he might as well betray me for someone else. And I have no place for betrayers in my gang." The man said and shot Mark in the head.

Mark fell down dead and Adrian kept looking at him. He tried to get up, but he was knocked out and taken to other room where Klaus was. Ashley was kept in the room behind.

They heard a loud crash in the room itself so everybody started looking for the source. But all of a sudden everybody started falling dead. The main target, Rhys Volks, the leader of the Wolverine Gang, was now all alone with three members left in the room.

"Who the hell was it? Keep an eye on Adrian, if he's gone, we won't have any advantage over them. Forget about having San Francisco under our control." Rhys told one of his men and the other two went out with him.

What he didn't know was that, Bella was already in the room where Adrian and Klaus was kept. She instantly shot the man dead after he heard the 'click' of the lock.

She untied Klaus and Adrian and then tried to wake them up.

"Hey, wake up. We need to get you out of here." She whispered and sprinkled some water on both their faces from the bottle on the lamp stand.

Adrian and Klaus both were awake but somebody came in through the door. The person was about to hit Bella, but she shot at him even without looking at him. At once the man was on the floor.

Bella turned to Adrian and Klaus. "I don't have much time before Rhys' whole army comes up. So get up and follow me." She instructed and they both nodded.

"Stay behind at all costs." They nodded again.

Adrian made sure Klaus was okay and helped him walk. Ashley was on the floor tied to the sofa. On seeing the covered masked person and Adrian and Klaus following him, he immediately made some noise. Adrian was about to go to him, but Bella stopped him.

"Your friend? You stay here, I go to him" and Adrian showed a thumbs up.

Bella took the piece of cloth from Ashley's mouth and instructed him to keep quiet.

"I'm not your saviour, so don't thank me. I can kill you if I wish, but they are my priority. So you and them, both follow me out, okay?" And Ashley nodded.

Bella helped him up, but he fell to the floor.

"You're hurt?" Ashley nodded and pointed to his leg.

Bella took out a black cloth from her pocket and tied it around Ashley's leg. Then patted his shoulder. "You can walk now." She told him and helped him stand again and this time Adrian and Klaus both helped him.

As they were about to go, Joshua entered with his gun pointed in front, but when he saw Bella, he lowered the gun and took Ashley from her.

"Who is Klaus amongst you?" He asked and Klaus raised his hand.

"I was told to save you at all costs. Hope you are not hurt anywhere?" Joshua asked and all knew who had asked except for Bella.

"If you are done with your lovey-dovey moment, then let's get out of here. Or I am leaving you to die." Bella told them before leaving.
