"NO!" Zack yelled as he grabbed her wrist. "Look at her! She's clearly crying! Let her have some time an sp-" Zack was cut off by Amanda.
"I did... I killed a guy. Who didn't do anything to ME. But he did to Rose. If you think I'm bad, look at you. None of these people do things to you, if they do something to someone else, you take that chance, an go for them. For what? Justice. That's what I did. But it wasn't justice for a stranger, no no. It was Justice for my best friend, her parents. Do you think I could just watch as this man kills Rose an my friends? I never would just sit around an watch that! Sure, earlier, I didn't do anything. But, if it would be a friend of mine, I would have protected them, putting my life on the line! No, no, not just a friend, but anyone! I didn't because... I am weak when protecting myself. I find really no reason to live. Anger, an worry can do things to a person. It can turn someone into a mass-murderer. Don't like it? Go ahead. Kill me. But, if I'm wrong, so are you." Amanda spoke, wiping her tears, emotionless, feeling someone wrap themselves around her. She saw Asadeath, she was the one hugging.
"All I needed to hear. All I could pull, was that, you killed someone. Despite it not being in records, I found it. Those words, those feelings, this was your break point. I shall train you, from here on out. You need me. I need you. Would you become my Hitman if I train you?" Asadeath spoke with a half smile.
"No. Amanda can not be your hitman! I can't alloooow that sis!" Zack pouted. Amanda stared at both of them, with a pokerface. "Right, Amanda?"
"I wouldn't mind training, but, being a hitman, no. So, I'll pass." Amanda started to walk away.
"Wait. I want to tell you guys something. I tried to tell you, Amanda, but, Rain ruined it. My name.. Isn't Asadeath..It's.." Asadeath looked at Amanda, as she turned an faced her. Asadeath looked over to Zack "Asally. Asadeath is just a show name. I don't know how people got it, but they called me it from a little age, an I continue my name with it. Zack, I'm not your real sister." Zack's eyes went wide, an ran in a random direction. "Don't call me Asally though!!" she yelled loud enough for Zack to hear. Amanda nodded at Asadeath an took off running towards Zack. She tackled him to the ground after a little chase.
"Don't run from me Mr." Amanda purred softly against Zack's ear.
"Does this look like I'm in a mood to play?" Zack growled.
"Now, must we act like this?Who does this seem like? Hmm. Oh! I know. Me. But you stopped me.. So stop" Amanda sat up straight on Zack as he muffles something under his breath. "What was that dear?"
"Amanda. Get off me." Zack sighs deeply.
"Promise not to run? No leaving?" Amanda smirks.
"I promise..." Amanda stands up, an sits down next to Zack, as he sits up. "How could she...If she isn't my sister..Who..Is she? An what about my parents? She said they died in a fire?Was that a lie?" Zack lays back on the ground, looking at the stars.
"Zack, I know what you're going through. Like your whole life is a lie, right? That's what I was going through at first. When you found me." Amanda laid back, beside Zack, watching the stars as well. "It's hard, trust me, I know. It's one of the hardest things to do. But, you aren't alone. Mentally or physically. I'm still going through it. But, I'm here to help you. We'll make it through this..Together" Amanda slightly smiled. Zack looked over to her.
"Together we shall."
"Enough games already~ We've got business. We still have maniacs on the lose." Rose purred once again. Zack an Amanda jumped up.
"What the heck? You followed us?! What all did you hear?" Amanda's voice was full of anger an confusion.
"Enough to know you spoke of the guy's death. I'm so surprised you guys didn't hear me follow. Don't you know, I know things? An you turned down being Asadeath's hitman? What's wrong with you? Anyone who is offered that, if they decline, she watches them, to make sure they don't speak of it, if they do, she kills them!" Rose whisper yelled.
"Indeed I do child. I'm impressed Rosie. Now, shall I kill you for technically leaking my information, because out here, Kim might be watching an listening, an you Missy, could have ruined my.." Asadeath looked around an whispers "my identity"
"No no no! I'm sorry! Please forgive me Ms Asa!" Rose got on her knees, begging.
"Ahah! You thought I'd kill you. You're now part of my family Rosie. I don't harm family." Asadeath laughs.
"Speaking of family. If you're not my sister, who are you?" Asadeath froze as the words came from Zack's mouth.
"I...Am...Your aunt. Your mother an father were my hitman..They we out on a dangerous mission. To retrieve someone who killed unhuman-like. Of course, I wanted them deposed of, but..They had something else in mind, they took you. Your parents took the mission, because no one else would, an you were their child. They managed to send you to safety..But..They did not. They dropped off my maps an radar, though, we may never know if they are alive or not, for they have never been seen again, an declared dead. You were so little." Asadeath's eyes were watering. It seemed unlikely for her to cry. But, she was so close.
"My aunt...Why would you never tell me?" Zack's voice cracked, as he began crying. Amanda wrapped her arms around him, comforting him.
"Because I was worried you'd want to find the killer of your parents. After yeaaars, this man is still out on the hunt. Months ago.. I was told that the man was back here. But, I didn't believe it, for the killing's never increased. They stayed how they always were. Small, normal, an not a biiig deal." Asadeath broke down, an ended up crying, but Rose ran to her, an comforted her.
"An what if Amanda became your hitman?You'd let her go after him?" Rose spoke, in a rather calm voice.
"Of course not. At least, not alone." Asadeath's voice was barely heard from her crying.
"Train me. Let me become your hitman. It'll only be temporary. I want to kill whoever hurt Zack's parents, an almost him" Amanda's voice was calm and collected.
"So be it! Everyday, other than Sunday, from 2-7. AM. " Asadeath wipes her tears an tries to calm herself. Amanda nods, kissing Zack's head, he tried to speak, but failed over his sobs.
