The Hitman's Life

The Past Of The Hitman

I still remember... there are flames around me. The house I call home is burning to ashes. I still remember my father shouted for us to run. I remember my mother carrying me in the middle of the fire as she put me in the hidden small room where the fire will never come to me and lock me there as mother come to face to face a man who soon killed her in my very own eyes. The man, I remember him, a lizard tattoo in his right cheek, the one who killed my mother. I still remember how much I had shouted, trying to get out from the room my mother locked me to keep me safe, I shouted as tears kept falling down. I wanted to reach my mother, my beloved mother who always show me her shining smile, now gone like blink of an eye. I shouted in my most desperate, wanting nothing but end this nightmare.

I didn't know much what happened after I open my eyes. I'm in the very soft bed, wooden walls and open lantern. I knew this isn't my bedroom and I don't know where I am. The most question for me is that...

"Oh finally awake, I'm so glad." Someone approached me, seeing a kind adult man who has a dark brown hair and green eyes with a smile. Wearing green shirt, blue pants and a doctor coats. "Are you alright? Anything hurt?" He asked me.

I on the other hand wasn't paying attention. My more concern is who is this person, where I am and what I'm doing here. I also felt pain around my body, just what happened to me?

"Oh you need to drink a water." The man said as he to a table to put a glass of water before returning back. He helped me drink which I'm thankful about.

I choke for a moment before turning back to him. "W-where am I?" I first ask.

The man smiled and answered my question, "You're here in our rest house. Mysteria and Checker found you within the burning village. The others seem to be worried so they went off to check the place so only the three of us are here."

I don't understand what he was saying. Burning? Village? Did I live there? Just what happened to me?

"The kid is awake." Both of us turned to the person who came in and it was a girl, wearing a black baseball hat that covered her right eye, blue orb eyes, black hair, orange shirt and black pants. "So how is he Rick?"

"He's fine Mysteria, thanks to you his condition are nothing serious. No burns and any injuries but he does inhaled too much smoke so he needs a long rest." The man answered which I concluded his name is Rick and the woman is Mysteria, he did mention she found me.

She swift her attention to me and stared. For some reason I could feel she's doing something but I don't know what. For a moment, she began to approach me. Her eyes began to calculate, I don't know what she is thinking at all.

"Do you remember your name?" She asked me. I could only blink. That's right, I almost forgot something important... I don't know my name, I don't know who I am.

The man was shock on her sudden question and asked her in serious tone, "Mysteria could this child be..."

"He lost his memories. I could only see blanks and in his fragile mind and body, I don't want to push his memories to resurface, it might break him." She respond which he nod in agreement.

I don't know what's happening, just who are this people?

Rick turned to me and gave a warm smile, "I'm Rick by the way, please to meet you." His smile became sad, "I'm sorry I can't help you in this condition even if I'm a doctor but-" He gave a determine look, "Do not worry because your memories will soon return okay."
