Shot Through The Heart (Assassin!Canada X Reader)

Chapter 1

The sound of the shower running was heard throughout the bedroom as it’s only resident cleansed their body. After a few minutes the shower was turned off and a strawberry-blonde walked out, drying his hair off with a fluffy towel. Exotic violet eyes looked around the neat and tidy room before settling on the clothes that were placed on the cream-colored bed.

Droplets of water cascaded down his lean, but toned body as he walked towards the bed. Looking outside the window while putting on a pair of fresh boxers, he gazed at the bustling city and it’s habitants, full of so much life. “I wonder how these people will react when they find out that the country’s best assassin was living amongst them? That I’ve been right under their noses the whole time?” he chuckled at the thought, finding it amusing.

As he pulled on a pair of denim jeans, his phone started ringing. The blonde picked it up from it’s place on the bedside table and held it to his ear, greeting whoever was on the other line.

“I have a job for the one they call Shadow” asked a voice belonging to that of a young man.

Shadow was the country’s best assassin, virtually nothing was known about him except for his ruthless efficiency. Only a few people knew of a way to contact him, those who did know of a way were the elite of the elite. He usually played a role in the rise and fall of companies since he’d been employed many times by different people from rival companies. The only other thing that is known about him is his uncanny ability to not be seen and blend into the background in such a way that no one notices him. He had gotten his alias from this special ability of his and he used it to his own advantage.
“How may I be of service to you?”  He smirked, seems like another client was in need in his particular set of skills.

“I want you to kill someone…..” whoever this young man was had an ominous tone as he spoke.

“It would be my pleasure to do so, but is there any specific way you want me kill them?” some of his past clients were picky about the way he was to kill the target.

“Take away what matters most to him. I don’t care what method you use as long as he suffers before dying”

“Of course, now may I have the name? I’ll take care of the rest”

“His name is Keith Summers and he goes to St. Dominic International High. I expect this will be done in no more than 1 month. Your payment will be given once you finish him off”

“I will notify you immediately when I have completed the mission”

“Good, do not fail me” With that, he had hung up on the blonde.

Shadow placed the phone back on his bedside table and continued putting on his clothes. Finally, another mission for him, it’s already been a few weeks since his last one. He’d been bored out of his mind during the free time since he wasn’t used to doing nothing for long periods of time. Sure he had load of money since all his clients were high profile people, but he found no need in spending it on unnecessary, useless, and flashy things. The blonde only bought the necessities and the few things he loved the most, specifically pure Canadian Maple syrup slathered on golden-brown, fluffy pancakes. It was a simple thing to most people, but it was one of the few things which made him happy.
Now that he had a new mission, he had something to do and keep him busy for a whole month. The assassin had never gone to a high school before, much less one as prestigious as St. Dominic International. His mentors, during the time he was still undergoing training for his current profession, were the one’s who’d taught him and all the other trainees about all the knowledge they thought you up until high school. Shadow could already feel that this mission was going to be a very interesting one.

(Name) was quietly reading a book in the library, her (Hair Color) hair framing her heart shaped face. (Eye Color) eyes were trained intently on the words printed on the page, her mind lost once more in whatever adventure the author had made with the use of their creativity and imagination.

Since all of her attention was focused on the book, she didn’t notice a figure slowly creeping up on her before she was too late.

“BOO!”

With that, she squeaked and threw her book up in the air in surprise, landing on the ground with a thump. She turned around only to see that the culprit was her best friend, Keith Summers. (Name) pouted and puffed out her cheeks in irritation while the brunette simply laughed.

“I came here to get you back to class. Lunch break is almost over, you know” he chuckled once he saw her realize that fact.

“Okay, okay I’ll go back. Just let me get this to the librarian so I can borrow it. You go on without me” she said, picking up the book from the floor.

“Sure, I’ll see you when you get back” he smiled and waved before walking out the library doors and headed back to class.

(Name) then borrowed the book and walked out, reading it as she did so. The book posed as a distraction since she did not see the person who was just rounding the corner which she was headed to before it was too late, she had bumped into someone. The (Hair Color)-haired girl fell down on the ground, still clutching the book.

“Hey, do you need help?’ asked a .quiet, but smooth voice.

When she looked up, her breath got hitched in her throat. she was met with exotic violet eyes an innocent looking face and a head of soft, strawberry blonde-hair.

“My name’s Matthew Williams……what’s yours?”
