Fallen Souls

Prologue Part 1

I walked through the London streets, a cool breeze making my way. My eyes scattered all around. Picking up my pace, I walked. A colder breeze went through me, making my pupils dilated. 

My eyes searched for answers. It was a cold disturbance around me, but to be frank, I couldn’t mind about the coldness of the breeze or night. It was just the disturbance that made me look around for answers. 

Up on the rooftop of a little bakery, I saw it. The black metal luster shone off through the moon’s reflection. Smirking a bit, I kept walking. I walked slower, and I heard the noise take off. 

Boom. It echoed through the silent streets. I stepped just a centimeter away from it, catching the bullet with two fingers. From just a mile ahead, I threw the bullet in amazing speed where it would eventually hit someone. 

I looked back at the rooftop and heard the reloading of the efficient gun. My feet ran up the ladder of the bakery to the assassin that hid. I growled in her ear, grabbing her neck and arms in the process. 

Her body shivered in fear and her whimpering attempt of making me let go of her didn’t help at all. 

“And why would someone as innocent as you try to kill someone as powerful as me?” I growled. Again she shivered in fear, but I showed no mercy for the little girl. “Tell me!” I yelled. 

“T-the head of m-my clan told me. It’s m-my mission,” she answers with a stutter. 

“Take me to this ‘clan’ of yours, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll spare your life,” I whisper. 

I grab a hold of her body, making sure that she doesn’t try to get past me. Instead of her persistent struggling and wiggling out of my grip, she stayed obedient and clung to me. We started walking, and every now and then she would glance up to me. I frowned at her and kept my posture. 

After about 10-15 minutes of walking, we got to a warehouse. I glared at the empty darkness that surrounded me and the girl. 

"Just go straight ahead," she said. I gave her a cold glance and followed what she said. 

I heard whispers all around us and eventually stopped my walking. 

"Let her go!" someone yelled out in the distance. I smirked and tightened my grip around her neck. The lights turned on immediately. 

People were swarming us. Guns at their hand, all loaded and ready to aim. But none of them dared to shoot me. 

"You guys are smart," I smirk. 

"Who are you?" a girl dressed in a collared dress stepped up. 

"None of your business, I know that for sure. Now what's all this?" I say, pointing at everyone that surrounded me and the girl who was still under my grip. 

"It's an assassin organization," a guy steps up beside the other girl.
