Once A Killer Always A Killer

chapter 1

"Call Raven!" the king said to his counsellor. He nodded and went to the secret hallways in the walls of the castle. He just simply whispered her name in to the echoing halls. And before you knew it there she was out of nowhere in the room ready to do anything she's asked. "How may I serve you you're majesty." She said while taking a bow. The king looked determined at Raven causing her to move closer so the king would be only a whisper distance away from her. Then when nobody could hear them except themselves he told her, "You need to get to Freyville make sure nobody follows or even sees you and do your job so that those elves will never be a problem to me ever again.". Raven nodded as in understanding of what it was the king was asking of her.

Freyville was only a small village but it was full of the most powerful and strongest elves there were. And unlike the kings wishes they didn't listen to what they were told if they didn't agree with what they were ordered. Just like only a day ago when the king wanted to take away a part of their ground. They rebelled againts the king and didn't allow that to happen. There were more towns that tried to do that but the difference was that Freyville actually had the force to take on the kings army. But with that being said Raven went on her quest to slaughter a whole town by herself.

It didn't take Raven long to get where she was going. She had been there many times to quiet down some people that spoke their mind about the king a little too loud. But that was nothing compared to what she was about to do now. She was going after family's and innocent people that had done nothing wrong but being born in the wrong town. It wasn't the first time she had to do something like this. But these kind of things she disliked the most for sure. However it was her job and it may have been the only thing she was ever really good at.

Sooner rather than later she arrived at the village. She was standing in the shadows ready to do what she came here for. When night came close and the sun begun to set and the darkness took over. The village slowly became quiet. Raven knew this was the moment everything was about to go down. She was standing in front of a big stone gate all overgrown with the most beautiful flowers and plants in a very closed off forest that truly yelled magic and wonders. Everything just looked so happy and peaceful and that was all about to change.

She went into the first house, it looked like a family with 2 or 3 children. It gave of a cosy and warm feeling. With a just extinguished hearth and you could still smell the delicious diner the family had. Unsure of what she has started, she made her way to the upstairs. Her first move was to taking the life of the parents. As she was making her way to the parents room, she could hear laughter and giggles from the room on her left. realizing that room was next, she just wanted the mission to be over as soon as possible.

Entering the room it suddenly felt cold and disquieting. She pulled out her two sharp twin knives. And stood beside the bed where the couple was sleeping peacefully. Taken one of her knives she slit the throats of the happily married couple, who died peacefully in their sleep. After that she walked into the children's room, where wooden toys were laying around on the floor and you could sense the innocence from miles away. As quick as she could she took the life of the 3 children who had fell asleep in the meantime, trying to make as little of a mess as possible. And just like that she did the next few houses. Quick, clean and painless.

Until she stumbled upon a house where she saw a man sitting next to his fireplace. Startled by this, Raven made one wrong move causing the man to notice her and alarm the village. Now that the cat was out of the bag the whole town was awake and chaos roomed the air. People trying to escape or hide in the dark of the night. Now there was no more time for neat and smooth kills. In a matter of seconds the whole town turned into a bloodbath. Family's ripped apart and the number of civilians dropped in a heartbeat. Now everywhere you looked you saw blood and human body parts. What once was a happy and cheerful town turned into nothing but a place of sorrow and death.

Raven took a look at what she had done. While she was cleaning of her knives she thought to herself " when did it start going wrong for me.". As she was standing there thinking to herself she suddenly heard a cry from not too far away. She looked around in the dreadful village to find where the weird noise was coming from. When out of nowhere she saw a little baby girl laying on the ground. She looked down at the little child in front of her. Not sure if she should finish what she started or spare the innocent soul. Deciding she had done enough killing for the day. She was ready to leave what was left of the village.

A little bit out of town she was thinking about what she just had done. Realizing the life of that baby was now determent to turn out even worse than if she just took that poor girls life. Because she, herself was once an orphan and look how that turned out to be. Now knowing what she has to do, she turned around and went back to the village.
