Breaking Barriers

Chapter 4 Dark Purple Eyes

I grabbed the pair of black sunglasses inside my leather jacket and put them on. There was an alley nearby and had multiple empty metal garbage cans.

The weight of the two bags contained all the useless memories of my old job, I did not need that anymore. I threw the duffel bags into one of the garbage cans.

I unzipped one of the bags and pulled out a small bottle of gasoline. I poured all over the bags. I reached into my leg pouch and pulled out some match sticks and lit three.

I threw the lit match sticks into the garbage can and watched at the fire grew upon contact with the gasoline. The light blazed the alley and I saw a couple of homeless people watching me.

I ignored them and watched the fire burn.

Clothes that Killian bought me for casual wear on my off days when I didn't have to work. Jewelry I received from admirers from work. Love letters I found slid underneath my room door that I never bothered to read unless I was really bored.

I watched it all burn away to ash with the bags too. I don't know how long the time passed away but soon enough the sun was starting to disappear from the sky. The fire died down because I didn't add anything else to feed it.

I walked out of the alley and made my way down the streets of New York City. It was night time and I had no place to stay.

There was a nearby atm and I punched in a secret pin that only Killian gave me access to so I can have money to store an account in. I withdrew $500 and stuff it into my leather jacket.

"Hey honey, wanna give me some of that money?" a creepy old man said as I walked away from the atm.

I ignored him and continued to walk. Suddenly, I was jerked back when he grabbed my shoulder. My actions were instant.

I spun around and kicked him straight in the stomach sending him flying back. Once again, my strength was something that shouldn't be toyed with.

He didn't stand back up, the stalker probably broke his back or something.

People minded their own business when I left the scene. I came across a Vanz shop.

The door rang as I opened it and walked inside. I scanned the walls for a skateboard that I can buy.

As an assassin I was trained in everything. I was trained to master every musical instrument, every means of transportation. Yes, it means that I know how to fly a plane. I also know how to use every weapon known to man. This training has proven to be very useful as I did my missions.

"I would like to buy that board," I told the worker as I pointed to a white black longboard.

He took it down from the wall and brought it to the register and rang me up. "You know, if you're not busy I'm free after my shift," the man said.

"I'm not interested. Keep the change and the recipt," I said as I layed $200 on the counter and walked out with my new board.

"Miss you can't bring that thing in here if you wish to stay," the receptionist told me as she pointed to my longboard.

"Just give me my room key card," I snapped at her while grabbing the key card from her hands.

I walked to the elevator and someone else stood inside reading a magazine. I ignored him and held my longboard.

The magazine reader lowered his magazine and coughed in a frenzy. I turned my head and lifted up my sunglasses. I saw the last person who I'd expect to see in a place like this.

"Kai? What are you doing here?"  

"More like what are you doing here?" Kai said while rolling up his magazine. I sneaked a peek at the magazine cover. Playboy. What a pervert.

"I asked first," I said while gripping my longboard. Is he staying here too? "Were you following me?"

He averted his eyes and looked back at me, "It's my mission."

"What are you talking about," I asked him while pushing my long hair behind my ear.

The elevator stopped and made a ding! noise. We both got off and stood in the elevator waiting area.

"Well I'm waiting for an answer," I said annoyingly. He scratched the back of his head and ruffled his silver hair.

"My mission is to follow you wherever you go. I have to keep these beautiful pair of eyes on you like Killian told me to do," he said while gesturing to his eyes.
