Emmalyn-Grace or Corazon Ace of Hearts assassin

I pull Ezequiel into the beautiful ballroom with a smile dancing on my face, Ze laughs at my obvious excitement, "Slow down Corazon we'll be here all night."

I give him an exasperated look, boys, "It's just so pretty." He gives me a look that I smile innocently at. He then lets me lead him around the room looking at everything. It was all so pretty. I would have to compliment the French mafia at some point. Ezequiel and I were both aware of the cautious looks being sent our ways but this was all in the plan we knew we would get a lot of attention and we decided to use it to our advantage.

Once I was satisfied I had seen the entirety of the large ballroom. I let Ezequiel take the lead to where the table for The Unseen Assassins waited for us. We sat easily and ignored the eyes that were fixed on us. The small earpieces we wore allowed my twin to contact us at any point and once he was done with his part it would be my turn.

It was clear they planned specifically for us Aces, our table and seat placements would make it difficult for us to hide in the background and avoid attention. I was almost insulted at the fact they wanted to keep an eye on us. However, this venue was just so pretty I let it go. Ezequiel and I distracted ourselves from waiting to hear from Emilio by play fighting with the silver-ware set out for us that was for dinner later. Neither of us used our full skills keeping it light and playful, even with our reputation people underestimate us. While quite rude of them, we often used it to our advantage.

My sister and her team all sat at the table accompanied by Nacht who gave me and Ezequiel a look. I used the distraction to stab Ze and then beamed at Nacht, "Isn't it so pretty here?" As I spoke both Ezequiel and I heard Emilio's voice telling us his part was done however I didn't let my words falter.

"It is, Corazon, why don't you go and thank the French mafia for their hospitality." I beamed and accepted, this was a perfect opening for the next part of the plan and if Nacht wanted us to talk to a group it was most likely because they requested us for a mission. While Nacht monitored every mission request they never looked at the details and targets to stay unbiased and uninvolved so they could work with everyone easily.

Ezequiel and I stood and as we walk towards the French mafia's table Ze jabbed me in the ribs. I keep my pace even and give him a look, "What was that for?" I switch to our coded language to stop others from listening in.

"Stabbing me," I roll my eyes, he deserved it he got distracted.

As we pass the table where our targets sat I fake a small trip using it to put two drops of poison in the main target's wine. Unlike everyone else, he was being inconsiderate and eating before the hosts give their speech for the night. Of course, we knew he would eat before everyone else which is why we planned it this way. He would eat his first serving and down his wine and eat his seconds and third glass of wine while everyone else ate. It was truly disgusting.

Ezequiel being the kind gentleman he is, most of the time at least, helps me up faking concern for me and lightly scolding me for wearing new shoes. Everyone around us laughed and as he helped steady me I slipped an Ace of Hearts card into my target's breast pocket out of view. All the while my actions go unnoticed from all the eyes on the two of us. It was quite comical to watch so many trained groups try and keep a watchful eye on us and fail quite spectacularly. But like everything with us it was planned. They try and play catch up and protect our target but we were always ahead. Three people are dead so far two are bodies on the ground the third a ticking time bomb.

The two of us stroll to our destination and are greeted by the head of the French mafia Beau Ambroise and his son and successor Delano Ambroise. We smile and talk to them I complement the beautiful venue and he tells us easily about a new mission he's thinking about hiring us for. We spoke casually not giving much away to the prying ears but we give him contact information to use if he wishes to set up a meeting with us. After a while longer of talking to them, we move on once again walking around the ballroom with most people moving away from us quickly. I guess we do have such an interesting reputation.

As Unseen Nightmares we should be either protecting Nacht or networking however as Aces we didn't get an assigned role. Nacht knew we had a mission but didn't know anything else so we were not given any duties for tonight. As everyone prepared to eat we headed back to our table. As the speeches began most of the attention shifted off of us, all except the table for the combined Italian, Russian, Spanish mafia who were staring at me and Ezequiel. I guess we were quite beautiful tonight.

The dinner full of boring conversations and yummy food was about to be over when some lackluster server girl tried to grab something and almost brushed against me. Ze grabs her arm before she signs her own death note and sends her running.

I give him a look I wanted to see the effects my new contact poison would have and yet he goes and saves the girl. He rolls his eyes at me, giving me a common Ace signal for don't cause trouble. I grumble but let it go and the music starts to play.

We use that as the cue to finish the rest of our hit and excuse ourselves from the table we head to the dancefloor but use a path that would lead us right past our targets. We would walk past the two men and I would use one of my fast-acting contact poisons and slip an Ace card into my targets clothes and Ezequiel would quickly stab his target through the heart with a small thin dagger laced in a poison that would prevent pain for a few minutes and leave his card. After those few seconds, we would continue to the dance floor and wait for the bodies to begin to fall.

3rd person POV

The family watched the two assassins glide through the room, play fighting, and politely talking to other attendees. If no one saw The Ace of Hearts kill the man outside the ballroom the party-goers may have believed that the two were stand-ins for the real Ace assassins. For all the legends about the three, they were not what anyone expected. They seemed like two joyful kids not feared assassins.

It was impossible for anyone to take their gaze from the two for long and it seemed they were immune to the attention their names and costumes held. As the first public appearance of the Ace assassins, many were surprised at how naturally they moved and conversed in a room full of powerful people.

Even with all the eyes watching for one of them to show their true colors nothing was out of the ordinary. The Ace of Diamonds even shocked everyone by saving a poor server girl who almost touched the Ace of Hearts and if she lives up to her reputation the server girl would be dead by the end of the night if she touched Corazon.

They walked to the dance floor and everyone saw the pure look of happiness on the young Ace of Hearts. Their walk had a few interruptions when possible clients greeted the two. When they began dance people began to shift their attention elsewhere. Just as they had this whole night the family of the combined Italian, Russian, Spanish mafia kept an eye on the two. Even though they had no confirmation that The Ace of Hearts was really one of their lost daughters they felt protective of her and some jealousy about who the boy she seemed so close to was. She was never out of their sight that night and yet they didn't see them kill three people.

The attention of the ball goers soon was drawn to a man collapsing holding his chest in pain. At first, the doctors around the room rushed towards the man believing it was a heart attack but soon everyone saw the growing pool of blood around the man it was too late for him. Less than a second later his companion who was still trying to save his friend began to cough up blood and struggle to breathe. He soon collapsed and one of the various doctors surrounding the two bodies declared them dead. The Ace's main target then began to scream at the doctors and try to revive his workers. No one knew what had happened until the man found the Ace cards in his workers' pockets.

When the man held up the cards all the party-goers moved back most aware of the fact that the Ace of Hearts cards were poisonous. All eyes fell on the two Aces who were still dancing as if two men didn't just die by their hand. The man holding the cards pulled out a gun and pointed it at them. He was enraged, those were his two right-hand men and after so many of his men had disappeared he couldn't afford to lose anymore.

The two Aces just laughed as everyone else watched with avid interest. They continued dancing as the man stood and stumbled towards them. "You- you assholes you killed my best men."

The Ace of Hearts stopped dancing and shrugged at him with the Ace of Diamonds right behind her, "Calling me names will never turn out well. We also didn't just kill your best men. Every single person working for you is dead."

The man tore at his suit jacket suddenly very hot, "Th- you. How dare you!"

The two Aces only moved out of the way when he swung slowly at them. He aimed the gun at them but was too weak to pull the trigger. The Ace of Hearts giggled, "You might want to check your breast pocket."

Everyone watched as the man pulled an Ace of Hearts card out of his pocket in terror. The two Aces just laughed as the man collapsed his body temperature rising too high, soon after the man died. Everyone watched as The Ace of Hearts examined the body for a second and then shrugged, "I thought he was going to last a little while longer. I guess not."

The Ace of Diamonds laughed and she smiled at him; they then walked out of the quiet ballroom without looking back joking with one another as if nothing happened. Their interaction shocked almost all the ball goers. The pair killed three people in a matter of minutes and were laughing and smiling as if it never happened. Like children who broke a toy they didn't care about. No one knew what to do next. The party filled with highly observant and powerful guests never even noticed the two people who everyone had been watching assassinate people with no problem or fear.

Many assassins were either emotionless or dark and sadistic. Only The Unseen Nightmares did not react to the commotion they all knew The Aces so nothing that happened was a surprise to them. No one else had seen two people kill with such childlike joy as if they were playing with toys or in a play.
