At the age of eight, I was a little girl living in a bubble of joy and innocence. my home was my safe haven, my parents the solid pillars on which my world rested. I had a carefree and happy childhood. my parents, Robert and Amelia Emmett, were renowned secret agents, but to me, they were simply my heroes and protectors. I loved listening to their stories of exotic adventures and secret missions, dreaming of one day following in their footsteps.
I was a lively and curious child, my parents affectionately nicknamed me their "little mamba", in reference to my lively mind and my fierce determination
one day, the summer sun filtered through the curtains of my room, tinting everything with a gentle warmth. I still remember the feeling of the ground beneath my bare feet as I walked down the stairs, eager to start a new day filled with laughter and games
something in the atmosphere had changed. The whispered voices, the glances exchanged in silence, had created a palpable tension in the air. I remember the way my innocent heart tightened, as if a shadow had touched my carefree happiness.Then, someone called me into the living room, where my parents' colleagues Rose Jones and Gabriel Williams, their eyes red and their faces marked by sorrow, had surrounded me with their trembling arms. The words they had whispered seemed to hang in the air, difficult to understand for a little girl who had never known loss.
"Victoria, my dear, there has been an accident. Your parents... they are no longer with us."
The words hit my mind like stones thrown through fragile glass. I didn't cry right away. Instead, a swirling confusion had enveloped me, a complete incomprehension of what this really meant.
That day, my innocence had been shattered, my world had collapsed around me.
i had learned too soon the cruel reality of loss and pain.
After the tragic death of my parents, i found myself faced with a heartbreaking situation as the authorities considered placing me in the custody of my uncle, a man with alcoholism problems. it was a prospect that filled me with anxiety , but at the intervention of Rose and Gabriel Williams, devoted colleagues of my parents, my life took an unecpected turn,
Rose and Gaabriel adopted me.
Now i'm 21y/o
Rose, a woman with a strong character and keen intelligence, became my mentor and guide in the art of espionage. Gabriel, with his fatherly wisdom and field experience, taught me the physical and tactical skills necessary to survive in their unforgiving world.
If you are windering why i chose this path, it's simple, I want to avenge my parents, and kill the one who took away my childhood
And My Story has just only begun °
To be continued... ;)
