Mozart

Chapter 1: Become Someone Like You

"What? No! Hihihi He might be fast but not fast enough to replace him" Fil insisted. "No I think he is. You just don't want to acknowledge him" "Agh! Do you even realize that your necklace is gone?" Fil disappointedly asked Ren. Ren calmly responded with "I was merely testing him, that necklace of mine he stole had a tracker installed on it, and the watch he took from you proved his physical aptitude. We're coming for him tomorrow."

In the Evening, Krytzy went ahead to the local pawnshop to see how much he could sell the watch and necklace for. With luck on his side, he earned enough for a whole month's worth of food. The owner, Brick, was a close friend and even offered to give him a room to sleep in for one night. Krytzy, his 10 year old brother, Panther and 8 year old sister, Megan had a feast that night.

Before they went to sleep, they talked about their dreams for when they grow up. "I'll become a soldier! I'll drive every criminal out of this town when I grow up!" Panther said. "I want to own an orphanage one day! I'll take in every homeless kid I find and feed them lots of food! And then, I'll read them a book each night before they go to sleep. Every kid deserves someone to take care of them!" Megan asserted. "Wow, you have a very ambitious dream, Megan" Krytzy responded. "Of course, brother. I want to become like you! You always feed us like a mother from an orphanage and not once did I hear you complain about it." When Megan uttered the words "I want to become like you", Krytzy didn't become so delighted because deep down, he knows that he is a bad person. He simply ended the night talk with "It's great that you dream of helping other people, Megan. Oh and you too, Panther. Let's all have a good night's sleep, everyone!"

"Brother! Wake up!"

"Help us!"

These agonizing voices woke Krytzy up. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his brother and sister held captive by Fil, with a knife threatening and ready to slice off their necks. "Ooh! Hihihi! Have you finally woken up...kiddo." "Shut up, Fil. I'll do the talking or I'll kill ya." Ren threatened Fil. "How- How did you find me?"

Krytzy desperately asked Fil to let them go. "Let them go, I'll do anything! Please!" He added as he bowed on the floor to them.

"If you thought you could hide from us then you're mistaken" Ren placed both his hands behind his waist and looked more serious than ever. "Now here's what we want. We're searching for someone to replace one of our own. It has to be someone fast and capable. I want to introduce you to our boss, Nakita. You're going to become a member of Mozart."

"-I'll do anything! Please release them at once"

"While you were asleep we were actually having a chat with your little brother and sister. It seems that your brother is quite the intelligent one, he easily calculated how much cash we needed to buy two and a half horses, we're taking him too-" Ren added but Fil interrupted....
"Hihihi! As for your sister, she's useless so she can die." Fil smiled and cut her throat.

"Brother!!!" Megan shouted asking for help as Fil laughingly sliced her throat finishing her off in front of Krytzy.

"NOOO!" Krytzy screamed.

"Fil!" Ren shouted.
"What? hihihi." Fil asked.
In a loud and angry manner "Who told you that you could kill her?" Fil immediately responded with "What? I thought we didn't need her." "Yes we don't but I never told you to kill her." "Hihi- I mean its not like we're getting- punished- right?". Ren had lost his temper and kicked Fil feeling exasperated.

"Why??" "Whyy?!" "Why is this happening?" "Is this how I pay for everything I've stolen" "How much more miserable are you going to make my life!" Krytzy's thoughts. "What the hell is wrong with these people? Even if you're used to being a criminal, as a human, there should still be a shred of mercy or sympathy within you." These thoughts came to Krytzy's mind at the exact moment his sister, Megan died.

"Ahh! Anyway, you two. If you don't want to end up like your sister, come with us." Ren threatened both of them to follow and go with him. As Ren and Fil walked out of the room, Panther was full of uncontrollable despair and was planning to stab Fil at the back for killing her little sister, Krytzy saw through his murderous intent and stopped him. "Let's just listen to what they say." These words got Panther back on his senses again. He very well knew that they wouldn't stand a chance against these strange people and Krytzy didn't want to lose his last family member anymore.

Panther hid the knife inside his pants and as they walked out of the pawnshop, they passed through Brick who seemed unable to face them afterward. When they stepped out of the door, Krytzy heard Brick mumbling saying the words "Forgive me, Krytzy". Krytzy wondered why Brick was asking for forgiveness but he ignored him anyway.

"This is all messed up. I'm going to kill them no matter what." Revenge was flooding Panther's thoughts. Before they reached the carriage that was supposed to take them to the Mozart's Hq, Panther took the knife out and slowly headed towards Fil.
