Emmalyn-Grace or Corazon Ace of Hearts assassin

I beam at my new appearance in the mirror. I had a wig on that gave me hair as white as snow and with my dark blue eye contacts and lots of make-up that made me seem paler than my actual skin tone I was the epitome of beauty. And then my new Black dress with many red hearts all over it and my red shoes and pretty lacey heart masquerade mask I looked amazing. I wore a red heart necklace that my sister, Adelina, said my mother gave each of her children. Then to top off the look I wore black tights and pretty black gloves that had hearts stitched on them. I looked almost doll-like.

"Look twinny aren't I beautiful."

He smirks at me, "The most beautiful." I could not say the same for him. He was dressed in all black preparing his favorite sniper.

I kissed him on the cheek then bounce over to Ezequiel who was frowning at himself through the mirror and I pout at him, "What's wrong Ze you look lovely."

"I look like an elf Emmy," He growls at me and I frown as Emilio laughs. Ezequiel was wearing a light red wig and blue eye contacts that matched my own and a dashing suit and gloves with little red diamond decals I didn't even put all too much makeup on him knowing how he hated that. He also had a mask that had red diamonds on it helping to disguise his face. A beautiful outfit put together by me.

"You look like a dashing prince Ze."

He sighed then nods, "Only because you put it together."

I grin, "I know I'm a genius." Emilio chuckles and I pout at him until he comes and kisses me on the head.

"I'm going to go get into position, no stealing my kill Emmy," I roll my eyes at him, anyone else and I would but not my twin.

"I won't. I may steal Ze's though," Ezequiel glares at me and I smirk trying to rile him up so I can poison him again. They voted to make a rule against harming each other when not provoked although my twin just sided with Ezequiel I would never truly harm him only test some non-lethal poisons on him at times Ezequiel on the other hand deserves to be killed at times. "Plus I won't have the option to, you are killing your target outside the ball and I am killing mine inside it I would not have time to kill yours." The two just smirk at me as I double-check to make sure all my daggers and poisons were in place. I do hope there will be trouble tonight. We had it all planned my twin would kill target one outside Ze and I would take out the next two in the ballroom and once they were dead the poison I put into the leader of the human trafficking group's, and our lead target, wine will begin to work and his body will boil itself from the inside. I however wanted more action. Especially at such a pretty party.

"I can't understand why you are so eager to kill Emmy we've been taking down targets of this human trafficking group all week."

I pout at him, "It's been no fun I haven't even gotten to try any of my new poisons." I also know these two, they are hopeful as I am for trouble, they were just trying to play it cool. They could be such boys sometimes.

They both chuckled at me and Emilio heads towards the door, "Stay safe you two or I will kill you."

I pout at my twin's worry, "It would be fun to have someone try and kill us."

Ezequiel laughs, "Many do try but we just end up killing them."

I frown, "Boo that's no fun." Emilio laughed and leaves silently. I pout, "How rude leaving without saying goodbye."

Ezequiel rolls his eyes at me and I glare at him, "Let's go they are probably waiting on us."

"Of course they are." He rolls his eyes at me and if we weren't running late I would've thrown one of my poisoned daggers at him. Unlike all the other attendees we decided to stay at the hotel where the ball is being held. It made it easy for people to come and kill us. Just what we want.

As we left the room I tuck my arm into his, we do make a pretty couple, I gaze over all the people we pass dressed in suits and pretty dresses. "Look Diamante, they are all so beautiful." We both ignore the looks others were giving us although I smirk on the inside, we were quite popular here. This will be loads of fun.

He laughs, "But none are quite as beautiful as you, Corazon."

I smile happily, "You think so?" He nods and says yes. It was truly a pity more people weren't as nice as my twin and best friend.

"Well, that's good I would have to kill anyone more beautiful than me."

We walk to where the rest of The Unseen Nightmares were gathering, gaining lots of attention from everyone we passed as we expected. Once we meet with the rest of the group many shied away from us. From what I am told they fear me after I poisoned many of the useless recruits. The Roses however came to greet us.

I beam at my older sister who was wearing her Roses attire I designed, A black cloak with a hood with red rose accents, she had a mask that covered her entire face except for her pretty brown eyes, the mask was also decorated with red roses. Other than the roses decorating her clothes she wore all black just like the other two roses. The Roses were my sister and cousins and Ezequiel was mine and Emilio's best friend however apparently he was adopted by our aunt and uncle. "You look lovely, Rosso."

My sister nods at me, "So do you, Corazon."

I beam, "Of course I do. I am the most loveliest."

She and the other Roses laugh however it was their boring fake laugh. Another Unseen Nightmare was rudely eavesdropping and apparently held a different opinion, "Loveliest sluts maybe."

3rd Person POV

The Ace of Hearts assassin threw her dagger without a thought and it hit the man square in the chest and she frowned at his fallen body, "No one insults Rosso and me." She bounced over to the body and pulled the dagger out and wiped it off on his clothes then tucked it back away. She then summoned a red heart ace card seemingly from the air and put it in his breast pocket that had not been stained with the dead man's blood. "Useless creature."

"You shouldn't have killed him so quickly."

The girl pouted at The Ace of Diamonds then giggled, "Perhaps not he would've been a good test subject for my newest poison." She then looked at the body, "Pity, it's a shame he is very dead now."

The leader of The Unseen Nightmares sighed at her youngest assassin, "Corazon, why did you kill him." The young assassin was the best in her profession however her and her team's tendency to kill anyone who upset them often caused problems.

"He poked fun at Rosso and me, I couldn't just let that stand," The girl pouted at her leader.

"You can not kill people just because they are rude."

The girl huffed, "And why pray tell not?"

"Because I need my assassins alive."

The girl rolled her fake pretty blue eyes, "He was not a very good one so it's not a big loss to you."

The leader sighed but gave in the only three people that could kill Unseen Nightmare assassins without repercussions were the Aces. The three killed who they wanted when they wanted and if anyone protested they would kill them too. However, sociopathic their tendencies, they did what they were trained to and did it better than anyone had ever seen and with their young age, no one would stand in their way. The Unseen Nightmares appreciated their talents enough to overlook their more uncontrollable behavior knowing it actually helped build the reputation of the group.

Many of the mafia families and guests to the annual ball watched the two Ace assassins with caution. Everyone in the building has heard the stories of the people they had killed however none of them have truly set eyes on any of them knowing for a fact it was them. When they use The Aces for hits they meet with random people that could be one of the Ace assassins or just one of the Ace's hired hands, no one knew who the Aces were or what they looked like. The Rose assassins were a known threat they all have grown accustomed to, they knew their lives were not in constant danger around them. The Aces were the ones who were known to kill without reason, even brushing against the Ace of Hearts could leave you dead from contact poison. They all watched cautiously as the Ace of Hearts killed another assassin easily with little thought as the Ace of Diamond watched with a sadistic smile and then the two laughed about it while the body was still warm.

The Morales, Volkov, and the Lombardi dons and family of the combined Spanish Russian Italian mafia walked into the mafia ball entrance with a sense of somber. After losing their youngest children they changed. They followed every lead searching for their taken children but always came with the same empty-handed result. And this ball always brought back the memories of their babies being taken.

The younger boys watched the two mysterious assassins in awe as they do with The Roses each time they are around them. It was a surprise to all the mafias when The Unseen Nightmares announced their most feared assassins would be attending this year. Many came to the ball many came in hopes of revenge for the ones The Aces have killed but everyone knew it was suicide to attempt to attack any of the three. No one could've imagined they were truly that young but the Ace of Hearts giggle made her seem like a child and not the assassin that has been killing high-profile people for years.

Only when the girl turned did the family see her necklace, but her gaze swept right over them and to the entrance of the ballroom. She beamed like a child on Christmas morning and tugged the other Ace with her.

Don Lombardi-Marco

My wife, Natalia, gasps looking at the young Ace of Hearts assassin we have all been warned about. Everyone turns to look at her hopeful face as she stared after the young girl who pulled the boy, and apparently fellow assassin, with her towards the ballroom. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that those two were two of the most feared assassins in the world. They were so young, if it was truly them they began killing at such a young age. A wave of sadness filled me as I imagined what their childhood must've been like. I always saw my lost children in younger kids their age especially the ones with clearly bad childhoods. Guilt filled me knowing my children were still out there alone.

My wife held my arm as she points to where the two Ace Assassins disappeared inside. "That girl. She had the necklace." We all turn towards her shocked. My wife, her sister, and their cousin all married us three dons, and when we married we all agreed to merge our mafias into one. We raised our children together in the same house with them behaving more as siblings than cousins. When a new family member was born the three women always got them the custom family heart necklace they designed. We've looked for our children for years as well as those necklaces.

I look at my wife, "Honey, are you sure?" The girl was far away and hearts were all over her clothes it was possible the girl was wearing a different heart necklace.

Katina shakes her head looking a little pale, "It was the necklace, Marco." We were all quiet and looked towards the entrance when we felt eyes on us and turned. The Rose assassins seemed to be watching us but turned when their leader began moving towards the entrance.

If my wife and sister-in-law were right and that was either Emmalyn or Adelina then we were about to face a lot of problems. There was no way any of us would let a lead go I could see it clearly in my two co-dons eyes. If that was one of our kids we would do anything to get her back. The only problem was if her reputation was in any way accurate she would kill us for the fun of it so we needed to handle this carefully.

I conveyed my feelings to my family and everyone nodded and we begin walking as a unit into the ball projecting the strength that hasn't been the same since our babies have been lost to us.
