Welcome to Gaia! ::

She pushed open the door rather roughly before she walked out. Natalie still couldn't help but be irritated by how he was so arrogant. Maybe she was a bomb with a short fuse.. but she would calm down once she had left his clean little castle of happiness. Her lips were pulled into a tight line and it was obvious she wasn't happy. Stopping at the car that he had requested, she was still going to use and abuse what he had given to her, she knocked on the driver's window. "Hand over the car." she said with a smile, when he shook his head, her smile disappeared and she pulled out her gun gracefully before pointing it at his head. "Hand it over." Natalie said as he slowly got out and dropped the keys into her other outstretched hand. "Good boy." she said with a smile before she got in and closed the car door, locking it as well. She wasn't in the mood to be messed with tonight.

After she started the car and by the time she was on the road, she thought about going to the club so that she could relax for a while before getting the things she needed. Running her hand through her hair, she glanced in the rear view mirror to make sure no one was following her. The driver had probably already told Ian everything that had happened, and then he most likely went and complained to their master. She scoffed and then turned on the radio. Classical music wasn't really her thing, so she kept changing stations until she found one that was suitable for the moment, rock. Leaning back in the seat, she stayed at the speed limit, not really wanting to deal with the cops at a time like this.

Sighing, Natalie parked the car in an empty parking lot in front of a bankrupt store that had closed a few years ago. They hadn't done anything to it since then and she knew the reasons behind it as well. Taking the keys out, she shoved them into her pocket before she got out and locked the car. Whistling as she walked towards the back, she didn't bother to knock on the door, instead she just came in. "Hey Zac." she called out, knowing that he was around there somewhere. "Got any new guns?" she asked as she walked down the ail. "Natasha?" he sounded surprised to hear her voice. "What?" she asked, after all he was looking at her like she was a ghost. "Word got out that you were finished." it didn't surprise her that people thought she was dead. "Yeah.. I happened to strike gold and big papa came around to take it from me." she said as she laughed, that was only half the truth.. there was no way she was going to tell anyone what really happened, she was in too deep this time. "Anyway, I didn't come here to chat. I want a sniper rifle." she said as she walked up to the desk that he was standing behind and placed her hands on it, looking at him. "Well.. you know even that we're friends, you still have to pay." he said as he started to lead her down to the basement and she walked after him. "Put it on his bill." he knew who she was talking about.. but it still didn't change the fact that he was still a bit shocked.

Once they got to the bottom of the stairs, she walked past him and to the guns that were being displayed in glass cases, the rest that were lying on the table didn't even catch her attention. Natalie took only the best guns. After looking at them for a good ten minutes, she pointed to one. "Take that one out." she said and he walked up behind her before taking a step to the side and he unlocked the case before opening it. Zac took a step back as she leaned in and took it out, running her fingers along the black, cold steel. He slowly placed his hands on her sides, his lips near her neck as he whispered, "I've missed you.." Natalie shook her head, "You still haven't learned a damn thing about me." A second later he was pinned against the wall by her with the rifle against his neck. "Keep your distance." she said in a sweet but firm tone and then she took a couple steps back, letting go of him.

"Put a tab on the boss. He'll pay for it." she added as Zac tried to act like nothing had happened. "Yeah, sure.." was his response and she laughed a little before she headed out. It was almost time for the party to start and she needed to get there before anyone else did. Leaving the building, she got back into the car, deciding to return the car back to the right owner. She could manage to get in and join the party, that way she knew when Jaden was leaving and prepare. Of course she could give him another chance, she wasn't being rushed after all. Turning on the engine, she backed out of the parking lot and the tires hit the road as she sped up.

Sighing, she didn't quite know where in the world she could hide a rifle except on the roof, but it would be hard to get it past the cameras. Hearing a phone ring in the car, she guessed the driver had left his cellphone here. Picking it up, she recognized the number as the being the boss's and picked it up, not bothering to say hello. "I know tonight may seem like a good time to kill him, but we don't need that at the moment," hearing that, she swore in her mind, well so much for using the rifle. "My men will get the rifle from you, just leave the car by itself.." he continued with instructions as she listened before he hung up. He also told her where she could get a decent dress since it was already in the building. Sighing, she shook her head as she parked the car before wiping her finger prints off of the sniper rifle and putting it under the seat. Taking the keys, she would return them to Jaden once she saw him. Getting out, she locked the car and walked along the side of the rather elegant building before stepping through a door that seemed like it had been forgotten about for quite some time.

She still had two guns with her, along with a few other weapons, but she would have to get rid of the guns since she was planning on wearing a dress. Going down the long hallway, she entered a closet and flicked on the light. Pushing a few boxes aside, she found the dress she had been provided with and started to slip off her clothes after she had jammed the door with a chair. She liked this dress a whole lot more than the other one and it fit her quite nicely. Fixing her hair, she quickly added a little bit of makeup before shoving her own clothes back behind the boxes.

Well, she was ready now with the keys from the car in her hand, she placed the chair back where it belonged and walked out after she was sure there was no one on the other side. Natalie walked into the grand room without any problems, the security guards had probably been paid money to let her in, but that wasn't her problem.

She walked between different people, a few heads turned but by her stance, no one dared to ask her what she was doing there. Her shoulders were broad and she didn't want to play the damsel in distress like most women did. Scanning the area, it wasn't long before she caught her target walking around the ballroom. Smirking slightly, she headed around some people, deciding to come up behind him.

After a few seconds, she watched as he was about to bring another glass of champagne to his lips when she reached over and dropped the keys into them. "Drinking is a bad habit." she said in a soft voice before coming around to face him. "I thought I would find you here.. you're car is out front." she knew he probably wouldn't be too happy to see her again or the fact that she had spoiled his drink but she shrugged it off. "Enjoying the party?" she asked as she glanced around. It seemed like a lot of people that were important to him where here, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to it.

A waiter stopped by her and she took a glass of champagne, though she didn't plan on drinking it. Her curls swayed slightly as she looked back at him, waiting for his reaction as she always did. He was dressed quite nicely, just the way a rich kid should be dressed, which made her wonder if he had ever done something against the law.. something he actually enjoyed. Sitting in an office all day and signing papers was not something she would call entertainment. If she couldn't kill him yet, why not make him a rebel?
((short sorry))

((I think you're posts are good. ^^))
She shook her head slightly when he replied back in a sarcastic tone, using her own words.. how creative of him. "I'm here to give you your keys back as you can see and maybe even have a little fun while along the way." she said as she looked around, trying to spot something or someone that could possibly catch her interest. "Looks and charm?" she looked back at him and raised an eyebrow. "What in the world are you talking about? You won't ever get the pleasure of being that close to me. I can't even call you a man, let alone a boy." she paused for the effect. "Unless you're up for a challenge of course." she smiled sweetly. Now this was her own idea and it was just to pass time.

"I don't need you're money, I don't know what I would do with it if I had billions of dollars in my pocket. I could feed the poor and make the world happy, but that's not going to happen. I'm not a prostitute. You may call these other women, ladies, but at least I don't sleep with men for money like they do." she was talking too much. Damn. Oh well, it should make things bit more interesting. She looked away from her. Yeah, she had a temper, so what? In a second she would be calm and collected like she had been before. Hearing his compliment, she looked back at him. "Since when do you give people like me compliments? Besides.. how do I know you're not just saying that to keep up your reputation of being a gentleman?" she asked as another waiter came by and offered them drinks. Champagne wasn't her favorite drink.. besides she didn't and couldn't get drunk on her job. She laughed lightly, her curls swaying. Tonight had definitely been eventful but now it was starting to bore her and she was hungry. Natalia couldn't remember the last time she had had a good meal.

Focus. She couldn't blow this mission up.. that would mean losing her life. Natalia glanced over at him, waiting for his reactions and what he was say to her challenge but then again he could just call the guards over to take her out. That wouldn't end well considering the fact that she could easily fight them but it would prove harder to get anywhere then.. so she would just have to make a quick escape.

She listened to his response, coming up with her own along the way. "Dream on lover boy." she said as she tilted her head. "I don't want a confession from you of your sins, after all I'm not a religious person." she knew that could possibly hurt him if he was extremely religious but for some odd reason, she doubted it.

"You're a Knight. You have no choice in life, just follow whatever the person above you tells you do to." she smirked slightly before looking away from him once again. "I doubt you really meant that compliment. You were trained to be civil, even to people like me." she said with a small laugh. If only he knew who she was. "Besides, maybe you just wanted to calm down the waters before you got yourself in too deep." Natalia smiled and glanced at him. "But even you know that I'm not ordinary." she added.

"I don't like masked lies." she simply said with another smirk before looking out at the ballroom floor. The place was rather crowded and she saw a few girls eying him. "I didn't you know you had a fan club." Natalia laughed a little before turning towards the table and grabbed a cherry by it's stem. She pressed it to her lips before eating it and swallowing. "I guess I should go before they get jealous and give you trouble." of course she wouldn't mind staying since she had nothing else to do, but she had to keep her guard up at all times and being around him could possibly have an effect on her even if she didn't want to admit it.

She tilted her head slightly as she listened to his response. Well it was nice to know what he wasn't being fake.. that or he was a really good actor. Of course Natalia could play the role of anyone that was thrown at her, but that didn't mean she enjoyed it. While she had been with him, she had been herself and she was completely comfortable with it... sure she could be mean and pushy, so what? He could live with it, at least before she was given the order. She almost sighed at the thought of it and then she reminded herself that she could not let herself get attached to him, or anyone else for that matter. Things always ended badly for her in that department.

Glancing over at the girl's that were glaring at her, she gave them a cocky smile before looking back over at Jaden. "So if those rich girl's aren't your type, how do you plan on meeting someone else? After all you always seem to be surrounded by the same people and they want your attention." Natalia knew perfectly well that her boss could drag this out if he found it interesting, but she hoped that wouldn't happen. Yeah, it would give the guy a few more years to live but it would break him if she was to kill him in the end.

She was pulled out of her train of thought when she heard his voice again. She watched as he bowed slightly and his hand was reaching out. "Don't gentlemen only bow for ladies?" she asked with a small smile but she placed her hand into his own nonetheless even though he had told her she wasn't a lady before. Natalia was surprised she didn't hear the girl's explode behind her but even if they did, it wasn't her problem. Perhaps she shouldn't have accepted his gesture.. if she was going to kill him why was she doing this? To keep busy? She didn't know anymore..


((It's okay ^^))

She shook her head at him but didn't say anything. Natalia could live without a meal, she had gone for days without food before and here she could have easily gotten food another way. The kitchen. He didn't need to know about that side of her, he already guessed she wasn't his average girl and she obviously didn't want money from him. Freedom.. that was her only goal and considering the fact she wasn't allowed to shoot him at the moment, she wasn't free. It was like being a bird with clipped wings. Her eyes seemed distant for a second before she pulled herself back into the real world.

Walking next to him, she swallowed. From the looks of it they were going to try and go with their first idea. Getting him to marry someone. Of course that was going to take time, her precious time but since they were holding a knife against her neck, she couldn't oppose them but she could b***h at them. And she would. Jaden would get more time to live and she didn't want to get attached to him.. besides she already thought it was impossible to fall in love after her last attempt. Love.. it was just a trick of nature to get people to reproduce. She had heard that form somewhere and at the moment she completely agreed with it. It was all just one sick game and there was no way to escape it but she was still looking for a way out.

Glancing over at the table, she approached the chair and glanced over her shoulder as he pulled out the chair for her. Sitting down, she let him finish. "Ah, I see I'm rubbing off on you." she smiled, perhaps he had the heart of a rebel, he had just suppressed it since he had an image to hold up. "It sounds like a good idea." she picked up a cherry that happened to be in one of the bowls and placed it against her lips, pulling off the stem. Chewing until all that was left was the seed, she smiled softly to herself. As the girls sat down across from them, she looked away but her face was still facing them. This would be fun... Someone was making an announcement but Natalia didn't pay attention to it as she shot the seed past her lips. It got stuck in the girl's mountain of hair. Perfect, she smirked before turning towards Jaden, acting like nothing had happened.

"I'm sure I'll be their number one enemy after this." she whispered to him before tilting her head. This would be a way to gain his trust as well as a few other things. Hearing the word 'dancing' and 'after dinner', a spark entered her eyes. There was something she would love. Tango happened to be her favorite and hopefully she could find someone that knew the dance as well. If it wasn't Jaden.. then perhaps she could get him to be jealous or perhaps show some interest in her. She knew that her boss was waiting for that kind of move from her and it would happen nonetheless.

Natalia was about to answer him when she realized that one of the girls had outstretched her leg and was about to run it over his own. The lengths they went to to get his attention. She shook her head. Natalia decided to go along with their little game, only she had the advantage since he hated them and she was sitting right next to him. "Jaden." she purred, her voice soothing. She hoped he wouldn't take this the wrong way, after all he wanted to get the girls to think he wasn't interested in them right? Her eyes were have closed as her finger tip pressed against his jaw turned his head towards her. Her lips parted slightly before she leaned in a bit more. "It's all for the show." she murmured, that way he was the only one that would be able to hear her. She was sure the girl's leg had met it's destination but she didn't know what Jaden's reaction would be. It was obvious that it wasn't her own leg.. she would never go that low to get some guy's attention. It just wasn't the way things rolled with her.

To be honest she hoped he wouldn't fall for her, that would only make pulling the trigger harder. If it had to be done though, she could be a ruthless murderer. She was trained killer, that was her core, her soul, whatever you wanted to call it. Natalia knew she couldn't be anything else. Her lips brushed against his softly as her eyes closed for a second. Usually she wasn't one to be gentle but you couldn't really be rough while their were plenty of people sitting at the dinner table. She slowly pulled away after that. "Yes, yes I have." she answered his question now in a hushed whisper before she tore her eyes off his own. Natalia hoped he wouldn't ask where, it wasn't really something she liked to talk about since it had to had to do with her murderous ways and he didn't need to knwo about them. She played with her food a bit, her fork chasing a piece of salad around a bowl. She couldn't believe they called this stuff food. Where was the meat? The sweets? Yes, she liked her food but she still had a gorgeous figure.
