Kill Or Be Killed

Chapter One

    I held the gun firmly to his head as he sat on the floor in fear. He stared at me with a scared expression.

"Just do it already!" He yelled at me.

    I took a deep breathe then held it in. I slipped my finger onto the trigger knowing what was at stake. I felt the common lump in my throat that made me want to vomit, but I then closed my eyes and remembered what I was fighting for. It was life and death in this situation. I continued holding my breath until I felt like fainting, and pulled the triggered. The next thing I knew there was a loud blast and blood splattered on the walls and floor.  I reached for the man's ankle and pulled out the SD card from the brace. I grabbed his legs and pulled him down the hall.

    I had never seen this man before and I didn't know who he was... Nor would I ever know. I shoved his cold, mangled corpse into the nearest closet I could find. My light blonde bangs fell into my face and my high pony tail dripped with blood.  

"Target down... I have the chip..." I said into my pager.

"Good... Now make it back to base.... Try not to die... Because when you do, I wanna be the one to watch you fall. Whether I have  to slit your throat or pull a trigger, I wanna be the one to feel your blood on my hands." His bone chilling, low voice replied.

"y-y-es s-sir..." I stuttered.

    I caught my breathe and kicked in the air vent. I jumped up into it and began to army crawl along the pipes. Eventually I reached out and pushed out another vent cover that lead to outside. I quickly jumped out and ran to the dangling rope that waited for me. I climbed on and I clipped myself in by a strap on my belt. I was instantly pulled up and the helicopter above began to fly while I floated in thin air. When I reached the top and unhooked myself and sat down next to a few of the other assasins my age. That's right. I said assasins... All 6 of us are forced against our own will to do it... It's kill or be killed.... There are five guys and I was the only girl in the unit... Unit 14. The guys, James, Tanner, Kurt, Gabe, and Daniel, all went by different nicknames. We were also not allowed to reveal our last names due to identity problems that would get us caught... James was 17 and from Detriot. He went by Ricksaag. He thought it was a term that meant to pummel or be brutal, which he enjoyed since he was overconfident and one of the toughest. Tanner was 16 and from San Diego. He went by Knives since they were his so called, "specialty' in killing weapons. Kurt was 18 and from Georgia. He was more of a softer guy and went by the name Shadow since he prefered to stay in the back and follow the others. Gabe was the youngest at 15 and from New Jersey. He went by the nickname Foot. No one exactly knew why he chose that name but he claimed it was the name of one of his favorite horror flicks. The only one left Daniel. He was 16 and from Vermont. He went by the name Skrill. It was far by one of the coolest of the nicknames although I wasn't exactly sure what it meant. I loved all the guys, but I had a soft spot for Daniel, or Skrill. He seemed to be the only one that watched my back and cared for me. On certain occasions, he would even pull the trigger for me because he knew it bothered me. He was a sweet guy.

    And as far as I go, my name was Jaime and I'm 16. I'm originally from Seatle and I was taken here to train when I was nine. My identifying nickname was Hunter. The guys had given me this name after they met me because they found I was the best at tracking down targets and getting out without being caught. Like a hunter...

    We were all forced here, and very few of us want to be here. Some do, but they treat this game like a joke. A hilarious, rib-crushing joke. But this game is no joke. It's a game of life and death. It's kill or be killed here. We're all fighting for our very lives, but some give up. The ones that don't make it out. They would rather get themselves killed because they can't put the bullet into someone else. It's understandable I guess, but I personally don't wanna take that bullet when I have a family worth fighting for. I have a brother in Unit 4, I haven't seen him since our kidnapping though. I won't give up. I am a fighter. and I will always fight for what I love...
