~ Beth stepped out on deck, taking a moment to breath deep, the warm, fresh, ocean air cleansing her lungs as she looked over the side of the great cruise ship, the blue of the ocean below frothing where it mated with the pristine white of the ship's hull. There was not a cloud in the sky, the day was going to be yet another gorgeous one, as the previous 3 had been. She had left her cabin for a quick walk around the upper deck, before waking her slumbering new husband. A glance at the golden ring that now embraced her finger. Being married was not all that bad, in fact, this had turned into one 3 day party so far. Last night was the first night they had allowed themselves to sleep. A smile creeped over her rosy lips. That was fine by her, she was not one that needed all that much sleep, not her in line of work.
But today, and for the next many days, Beth, also known as the Flame, was not working. Flame was the name she used for her job, she did not want many to know her real name. That could get dangerous. She killed people for a living. She did not want to become a target herself. Brushing her fingers into and threw her flaming red hair, she took yet another deep breath and started out for her walk.
Her thoughts turn to her new husband, Bradley. Bradley Turner the Third, to be exact. A very rich playboy was what he was, charmed by the wiles of the flaming red head. She had been swept off her feet, romanced and courted by the playboy. He sure knew how to party with the best of them, and for the first time in her life, since leaving home, home being living with her Aunt in Ohio of all places, she had let herself get close to someone, well, if you could call how she felt close. Did she love him? Eh, he was a rich, handsome, playboy who was great in bed. She certainly enjoyed herself with him, if nothing else. When he proposed, he told her the wedding and honeymoon would be yet another giant party, she could not refuse.. Hell his daddy owned the cruise line... the ship would be filled to the brim with friends, and family, as well as paying customers. Why not marry him, he was harmless. Yes, never mind that she had been sent to kill the rich playboy's mother, which she had accomplished easy enough. Never mind that his father had been the one to hire her, but, since she did everything over the computer, no names, no faces, Bradley Turner Senior had no idea that his red haired new daugther was the killer of his wife. And Beth certainly was not going to tell him.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, she had said to herself on more than one occassion.
One would never guess that the lithe, sleek, flaming red head was an assassin for hire. That she had more than 50 kills under her belt. That at the age of 19, she had made that first kill, and that now, at the age of 21, she was one of the deadliest assassins in the world... Her preferred method was sniper rifle. She was a dead on shot with that rifle. She was good with handguns as well, but all her kills were with the sniper rifle. She preferred to be at a distance from her prey, she never kidded herself that she could fight or beat them physically. She was smart, and cold. Never letting herself get involved with anyone, until now, until Bradley, and even now, she really was not "in love" with her husband, just in "lust"...
But now was not the time to think of all those things, now was the time to party, and enjoy. She paused at the bar to get herself a chilled glass of orange juice and a handful of strawberries, before continuing on her walk. She had made a mistake this morning, and not even realized it. She had let her guard down, and never even realized that she was being watched... closely.... ~
This is Beth
another of Beth, also known as Flame
***********************************
Beth "the Flame" Tanner
21 years old
5'5" tall
Flaming red hair that tumbles just past her shoulders
Deep golden sparkling eyes
creamy pale skin
Lithe, lean, slender, she looks more like a model than the killer that she is..
She too has a tattoo, it seemed a right of passage for assassins in this day and age, hers was a flame that graced her left shoulder blade.
