This is my first horror/fantasy story so I hope you like it I just want it to be known I've never written a story like this so it might not be the best but here you go the prologue to Prepare To Murder.
******************************************
Today was the day, it all ends here and now, but the problem is we're all considered murders as soon as we enter this show. This is not the typical murder, we won't be in trouble for it but we are now having to kill each other. If you thought this was the typical show you're wrong, are you wondering how I got into this horrific show? That's easy, I entered into the show simply because I knew I had just about the right amount of skills to win.
We're basically trained throughout our whole childhood to become a spy or something more radical. But if you were trained like me you're more professional you decide to kill, it might be gory or gruesome or even gutty but it's a start. So in terms yes I'm a murder, and yes I love every bit of it. The rules of the show is kill, eat, sleep, and repeat, only 5 people will be remaining in the end as 25 enter the show. In ratio form only 1/5th of us will remain alive and will become guards for high expected missions. I will leave my family behind but as if I even had a choice they've wanted this for me for years. Well, my father did anyways. My mother not so much.
I play piano and I'm very talented but that's not the direction I would like to go in, but as far as my mother she'd love that for me. People call me beautiful that my beauty is a gift but if they'd like it they may take it from me. My older sister was the model and I was the son my dad had never had and I own up to that. Everyone recognized me as the girl that was a tomboy that had loved nothing but killing and I probably was in every kid's nightmare. I was not one to reckon with and I would fight anyone who would get in my way.
In my lifetime on this Earth I have murdered in only training class because otherwise it would be considered a crime. I have only one near death expierence and from that day foward I had sworn never again. I could feel my heartbeat intense as I fell onto that mat that horrible day, the day I almost lost my life. It was a fight to the death but he had the upper hand, no one had ever beaten me or him ever before. The last jab he threw cut the back of my knee and I fell on my back. He leaned over my limp body and look me in the eye and I could've sworn he was going to slice my throat.
"Do it already, slit my throat why wait." I say.
"No, shh, a girl talented as you should be given another chance. Go along with me here okay."
He says.
"What?"
He gets up lifting the knife as if to jab me right in the chest but before I could realize what was happening he pierced his heart. He fell beside me his back hitting the floor, eyes toward the ceiling and he spoke.
"Zarina, you can live through this win be number one for us. One more thing is I love you Zari this is your time to shine I already had mine." With that his breathing sped up.
"I love you too Gavin." I say.
I slid over top of him and kissed his lips my best friend was dead and all because of me, how could this happen? I was in love with him always had been always will be and now he's gone forever, I cried as they carried me out. I cried as they closed the slits, I cried that night in bed, I cried everyday, and I still cry. Even though I know where his soul was going. Straight to the underworld. It was hard to realize that my best friend, fiance, and training partner was gone. Just like that.
********Present Time********
"Zarina wake up." My father's servant whispered.
"As you wish Lady Stellar." I say.
