Alice Rieper

In a forest, at least 2 hours away from the nearest city was a home that was built to be hidden deep within the forest. This home served as a hideaway for an assassin, it wasn't like the little cabin she stayed in during one snowy night. This building was at least two stories and was set next to a lake. This hideout cost a lot of money, money from highly dangerous jobs. It had everything a comfortable home could need. Electricity, internet, food, water and cameras placed around the premises for safety. There was also an underground section that was hidden away. This is where the weaponry was stored as well as an infirmary.

Alice Rieper, sat on top of a comfortable looking sofa, looking out toward the sunset. The rays of light reflecting off of the water. This was the perfect spot to unwind in. She had many safehouses in the country, but this one was her favorite. Away from the hustle of the city, hidden enough so any pursuers would have a difficult time to find and best of all it was quiet. She let out a sigh as she let herself relax further.

Cold, dark and smells of rust. This was how the prisoners of Solitude. A prison that sat on top of a mountain, miles away from any town or city. This prison housed the most dangerous and bountiful inmates in the country. Prisoners who are sent here are kept in a ice cold cell made of smooth stone. They are given very few clothes, the clothes that are given to them are thin. Barely keeping them warm from the harsh chill of their cells. Inmates are also not given any shoes, making them vulnerable to cold stone floor at all times. Very troublesome inmates are sent to a special cell that is called The Icebox, which is more of a freezer than a prison cell. Guards are harsh with their punishments, often beating on inmates until they feel a lesson. Because Solitude rests on top of a mountain it has proven almost impossible to escape. The only way in or out is by transport. The bus that comes to transport more prisoners. Escaping by climbing down the mountain is extremely dangerous and those that have tried all fall to their deaths. Escaping on foot isn't an option either, most become victim to the unforgiving winter elements of the outside.

Solitude's newest prisoner, Alice Rieper found herself chained. Her clothes in tatters, finding herself in freezing stone cell. The chilly air was enough to clue her in on where she was. She had heard about this prison from idle gossip. People say this was not a prison you want to find yourself in. There were some debate if a prison like this was even necessary. Either way, this is where Alice was now. She didn't know how or why she woke up in a icy jail, but what she did know is that if she didn't escape. She would freeze to death or meet a fate far worse.

Working as a contract killer had some perks. You got to travel, go to fancy parties, drink expensive wine, meet interesting people...but it gave you so little time to mingle, build relationships or find love. After getting back from Italy, Alice Rieper decided to take time and start dating. She hasn't been in a relationship for years and all those nights alone in a dark house were beginning to blur together. So, she set herself on a blind date. Changing into a black cocktail dress and finding a matching pair of high heels. The date was set in a nice bar down town. It wasn't the usual dive she would go to and that was the idea. Less chance of someone from her line of work recognizing her.

Alice settled in a booth in the corner of the room, her seat facing away from the door. She has fought many foes in her life and has faced death multiple times but right now she was the most nervous she has ever been. Her mind already thinking of random scenarios on how this night could go wrong. Her fingers tapping against her glass. "Come on...relax...it's just a night out. Nothing to lose your nerve ever..." Alice murmured to herself in an attempt to calm herself down
