*Warning* Gore and suicidal thoughts

Dark grey smoke clouded my vision. I adjusted my eyesight to be able to see heat signatures so I could navigate more easily. I could hear panicked breathing and footsteps in the distance. 

Kill the adults. Take the child. No witnesses. 

I leaped out of the smoke and followed my senses. The targets did not get very far. The father yelled and cursed at me to leave them alone while branding a small kitchen knife, allowing the mother and child to run further down the hallway. As the smoke began to disappear the father looked at me with shock. There was a hint of recognition in his eyes. 

"******?" He asked. 

What did he say? He looked familiar. 

"Who the hell is ******?" I replied. I wasn't given a chance to let the man answer my question as I felt my limbs move on their own. I lifted the father up by his throat and slammed him into the ground head-first, leaving a hole in the floor. I lifted his body back up and was met with a bloody face and gritted teeth. 

"How...how could you do this?" He choked. 

"Vylikin!" I turned my head and saw that the mother was standing at the end of the hall with a pistol in hand. She aimed it at me. "Let him go, now." She demanded. 

Following her instructions, I dropped the body and he fell to his knees. She took the opportunity to take a shot at me. The bullet landed right on my left eye, my vision being obstructed with white light. She lowered her gun in disbelief. 

Knowing I was taking too long with this mission, I shot out the beam and struck the mother right where she hit me. A steaming and gushing green hole was left where I hit her in the eye. She collapsed to the floor dead. 

I heard a scream coming from the adjacent bedroom and felt a hand grasp my ankle. The father looked up at me with complete anger and hatred in his eyes. "Do you really know recognize me?" He boiled. "You don't recognize your own damn brother?" 

Brother? 

Again, my actions weren't my own. I raised my leg and kicked his head down, pinning his temple to the ground with my foot. In one swift motion, I twisted my foot and heard his neck snap. His hand that was still gripping my ankle finally released once I marched down the hallway. I stormed into the room and saw that the bedroom window was open.

 I quickly approached it and saw the child nearing the backyard fence. I jumped from the window and landed a few feet behind her. I sprinted towards her and grabbed her by the back of her shirt. She went to scream but I covered her mouth with my hand. She tried to bite and lick me but she gave up once I tightened my grasp ever so slightly. 

Like I was one with the night, I carried the target back to DRAKO without raising any attention. 

For DRAKO.

There was blood everywhere, blue blood plastered the ground. Blood was dripping from my fists and stained my suit. The bodies of dead Kree littered my feet as I navigated looking for my target. 

Take the special Kree. Kill everyone else. No witnesses. 

After I killed everybody here I rushed outside and started to scan for the special Kree known as Kai-Ness. We had the perimeter locked down so there was no chance of escape. Hearing gunshots in the distance, I moved toward the direction the noises were coming from.
