Teen Assassin

Chapter 25

My eyes flutter open. A bright light blinds me and I feel a pang in my head. A groan escapes my lips and I try to move my stiff body, but a hand pushes me back down. I look to my side to find the girls staring at me worried.

"Oh god Scarlett you're okay," Mika sighs. "We heard what happened."

I slowly try to sit up again and a crack goes down my side. "Why did I black out?" I ask.

Jade shakes her head. "We don't know, we tried to ask the doctors, but they said it's something only you and commander need to worry about."

If it's something only between me and Jerry then that means I'm about to get my life handed to me.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Jerry walks through the door and fixes his suit. "Ladies. Out." He barks and quickly they all leave. Now it is just me and him. "Let's talk." He pulls a chair next to me and leans back.

"You know why you passed out?" He questions. I shake my head in response. "Scarlett when was the last time you used those special powers of yours?"

"I do not know," I respond. Truthfully I know it has been a few months, but not by choice. Whenever I try to use them it's like I can't.

Jerry slams his hand down and jolts up. "You are the future heir to this empire and you can't do something as simple as control these dumb things. We spent months working on you, months training you to use them and now the doctors are saying something isn't right!?" He yells.

I look down and play with my fingers. "I'm sorry."

He sighs, "you've been out for 2 weeks. We did some test and nothing is wrong, your blood is still mutated to match the project. That means it is something in your end."

"I haven't been doing well emotionally, I'm sure that is stopping it from bonding with me, I'll fix it." I state.

Jerry's fist clench, "you have a week to be back on your game." He walks to the door then stops and looks back at me. "We brought O'Niel back as long as his family. I've instructed my men to feed them enough to barely stay alive. Go have fun." And with that he walks out.

I will have fun, finally something to take all this pent up anger out on.

Screams fill the room as I drag a knife slowly down the arm of the man with his hands tied to the ceiling. Scott is tied to a chair and he begs me to let his son go.

His wife and daughter are huddled in a corner with silent tears falling down their face. "Come in Scott tell me how you found out about who I am!" I yell.

Scott shakes his head while sobbing. I walk over to him and back hand him. I lean down so that we are eye level. "If you don't tell me I'll kill your son, then your daughter, and lastly your wife" i seethed.

The cries in the room grow and they do nothing expect for give me a headache. "That's it." I turn around and jam my knife straight into his son's stomach. "Now Scott, if you give me the information I want your son can be saved."

"Ok! A man named Lorenzo Moretti. He gave me all the information on you and told me to kill you!" He tells.

"Why!?"

"Because he wants to finish what he couldn't. He killed your brother now all he needs to do is kill you. You are a miracle and as long as you're alive other mafia's are in fear of what's to come."

My breath stops. It's him, he killed my brother. After all these years I finally know who it was. A laugh escapes my lips and soon it turns to sobs.

Finally I can avenge you brother.

I wipe my tears away and walk out the room. A guard stands next to the door. "Clean his son up, I want Scott killed and his head sent to Lorenzo Moretti. As for his family, I want his daughter brought up to the 5th floor, she'll serve as the test subject for their new project. I want his wife sent to Conny, and once his son is better I want him sent to Jerry. The fucker has a good tolerance for pain, he might just be good as one of us."

I walk away and go to clean myself up. All I need to do now is get this power to work and then I can be sent back out. I need to be back to were I was before Jerry calls for me.

Truthfully I know what has me like this. I've been having constant nightmares and have been unable to control the pain and fear in me. If I can't do that then this dumb experiment flowing through me won't work and will eventually kill me.
