My name is Alexis Smith. I am sixteen years old and I am orphan. I have green eyes and long red hair. And probably the mainc fact about me is that I am assassin.
My parents died when I was five years old. So, government sent me to my grandfather Dominic, who used to be the best person in my life while my parents were alive. He turned out to own a company of assassins, that's how I got in this situation. He is training orphans to be assassins and teaches them how to kill.
He behaved to me like others, even worse. If something went wrong it was always my fault even if I was nowhere near the crime. He used and still is hitting me and nearly killing me. I don't know what I have done to him, but he certainly hates me more than anything else in the world.
-Alexis! -Lizzie, my best friend opens the door and looks angrily at me.-You will be late, again! -She shakes her head and storms out of my room leaving me alone. She is really beautiful. She has long straight black hair, gray eyes and the best part of her is that she is innocent. She has never killed anybody in her life. Unlike her I started killing people when I was only eight years old.
I get up slowly, I don't want to go down in the hall and meet Dominic. But I have no other choice.
-Are you coming?-Jesse looks in and smiles. He is tall, blonde and has sky blue eyes. He is also one of the most handsome assassin I have ever met. Of course if we don't count Christian in. He was my best friend before all this happened. He used to be the top assassin among everyone. Some even thought that one day he would beat up Dominic. But he died. He was murdered by Dominic. Because he tried to escape. He was fourteen and I was eight years old by that time.
"I am sitting on the sofa and try to hold my tears back. I don't want Chris to see them or he will be nervous and worried about me. I am trying to guess what grandpa is going to do with him. Everyone is telling me that he will do something terrible, but I don't believe them, grandpa is a kind man. He will never hurt anyone, especially Christian. They have something like bond between them. Dominic loves chris very much.
-Why did you do that?-Dominic asks him in a cold voice and takes his knife. This is the first time I saw him angry or carying a knife. -You had everything. You were the best!
-I had nothing!-Chris yells and I jump in fear. What is happening? -hey, honey, don't worry everything is okay.-he smiles at me and I somehow get calmer. - I had nothing!-he whispers angrily at Dominic.-You ruined my life! You made me kill people who have done nothing wrong to me! At first I thought to tell everything to police, but even they are afraid of you! -He snaps under his breath and looks away from Dominic's angry eyes. By that time he is only fifty five, he has brown hair and beard with some silvery lines in them. His gray ice-like eyes have never seemed so cold or evil. This is the first time I see his sinister soul, poisoning everything and everyone around him.
-I warned you. -Dominic looks inside Christian's dark eyes. -Now I am going to kill you. No one has ever escaped my anger! -He stabs Chris in his leg and I hear a loud groan coming from him.
-You can kill me.-Christian says in a low voice.-But don't let her see that.- He points at me and looks at Dominic.
He nods, goes to the door and locks it, so I can't run. He wants me to see Christian's death.
-She will see that. -Dominic smiles and starts torturing him. First of all, he darts cutting off his fingers one by way. He does that very slowly to let Chris feel the whole pain. I see blood coming down from him and it is spread everywhere. Then Dominic starts running his knife on Christian's face and cuts him deeply. And after half an hour he stabs him in the heart.
-Hey, princess.-Chris looks one last time at me.-never give up on your dreams. -he smiles one last time and then his eyes turn blank. The light has already left him. I am left speechless. I can't even dare to move or say anything. I have never been that scared and I have meet hated anyone like Dominic in that minute. Since that I hate him and since that he wishes me dead."
-Alexis!-Jesse is shaking me and tries to bring me on my mind. -Are you okay?
-Yeah, why asking?-I try to keep it cool, but to be honest I want to scream and cry and put my whole heart in it. Remembering Chris is bringing pain to me which I can barely bear.
-I just... Never mind. -He starts observing me and after a minute adds.-you better hurry or he will be angry again.
-Yeah I know. -I look down at my feet.-You go I will catch up.-He nods and closes the door behind him.
He is right I better hurry if I want to live another day. I pull on jeans and a black T-shirt and start running down the ladders really fast.
I am one of the oldest.(well, I am not oldest, we just call people under twenty who have been here more than five years oldest and I am olderst in the oldests.) They have to be the first to enter the hall and lasts to leave it. That means that another hour I will have to take Dominic's face and try not to blow up in front of him.
