Next kill.
Lilah had recently been tasked with killing a group of bad guys who had been trafficking hundreds of children into the sex industry. As soon as she had been given this mission, she had put every other responsibility and task aside so she could focus on her mission. She had discovered the identities of the thirteen men and knew the locations of their safehouses.
It was a daunting task for Lilah and she felt overwhelmed by it. She had killed before, but never more than 5 in one go, and she was apprehensive about getting caught while doing it. But she steeled her resolve with the knowledge that these men deserved to die for what they had done, and that these brave children deserved to be saved from the evil of these men.
Lilah looked over the weapons she had collected for the job. She had gotten guns, knives, and even a crossbow, so she could defend herself if necessary. She waited until the night was full of darkness, and then quietly made her way to the first house.
Using the tools of her trade, she silently snuck inside and killed the first man without making a sound. She worked quickly, going through house by house, until all thirteen men were dead. Though her stomach was in knots and her nerves were on high alert, she was able to do it with meticulous precision and no one noticed her presence.
When the deed was done, Lilah felt a mixture of relief and sadness. Relief that she had been able to rescue all of those children from a life of torture and despair. Sadness that it had to come to this in order for them to be saved.
Still, she was proud of her accomplishments and knew that she had made the world a bit safer. She had saved hundreds of children from a lifetime of horror and had put an end to the criminal enterprise of the thirteen men she had killed.
The next few weeks were a blur of recovery from the mentally demanding operation she had been a part of. She was soon able to start the process of slowly gaining the weight she had lost due to her anorexia. As she felt the weight gain and her appetite return, Lilah also felt a sense of accomplishment and security.
Though she was still fighting the urge to starve herself, Lilah knew that the mission she had completed was greater than her urges to deny herself food. After all, she had done something good and necessary, and she was proud of it.
