Alter Egos - The Rival Ego

Chapter 17- A Horrible Flashback

Becca's POV:

I was walking down the street waiting for Cowan to turn up. We had our plan set. Shadow was following me out of sight and all I had to do was walk around and wait for that twat to show. We have been waiting for quarter of an hour. Then all of a sudden. I heard footsteps. I had my swords ready in case anything went wrong. Then I saw Izzy Parry, Mathew Gamen, Chloe Bamber and Ben Chaibi walk towards me. Swords drawn and ready to fight. There was only one issue. Where the fuck is Shadow?! He hasn't arrived out of the shadows. And now I am being hunted down! I then start to fight with the egos that had been placed in front of me. I happily dispatched Izzy with a sword to her chest and Ben was just as easy. Mathew I decided to stab twice and now I am left with Chloe who wasn't too bad. Her style was actually decent. Swords locking at least three times as we each swing at each other looking for the target that we are trying to get. Quite frankly though. I am in great fear right now. Because Shadow is no where to be seen and I'm not only protecting myself. Anyway. After exchanging swings for at least 15 minutes. I finally manage to get an opportunity to finish Chloe which I gladly take. Two swords through her heart! That's all of them. I've finished off all of the enemies that they have thrown at me.

But where is Shadow. He still hasn't arrived. I've trusted him to be here. Why would he not be here? Why would he not help me? The fact that I trusted him to make sure that I am fine. He would never leave me! Something must be wrong. He would never break his promise. I know him too well. He would never not do something that he said he would. I need to go and look for him.

I start to wander around where he is most likely hiding. I can't find him anywhere and he was definitely here when we started our plan. He always wants to be with me to make sure that I am in no danger. As I walk I start to hear a familiar voice.

"Lost your husband? Maybe he gave you a taste of your own medicine. You know. Said some BULLSHIT! I will protect you. I will be there for you. Maybe he doesn't love you after all. Maybe he has just decided to leave you in a horrible fate." Cowan's voice stated.

"He would never do that. Everyday he tells me he loves me and would never leave me. Stop having bullshit come out of your mouth! Have you done anything to him?!" I ask back very angry.

"I haven't done anything to him. Plus its not him I am worried about. It's you. I require to finish some old business with you." Cowan says as he starts to walk towards me. My heart starts to race in a panic.

"Old b-business?" I ask nervously.

"Of course. You probably don't remember do you. I mean let's be honest. You were very young at the time. Do you remember your parents death? You know like Jordan can remember his?!" Cowan softly states.

"DO NOT TALK ABOUT MY PARENTS NOR JORDAN'S! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THEM. YOU BAD MOUTH THEN EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST AND I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF. YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF EVEN SPEAKING ABOUT THEM!" I shout back now full of anger that he would bring them up.

But the truth was. I can remember my parents death. It was horrible. Even though I was only a baby. I can remember it all. Some people coming into the house and killing my parents. Stabbing them. Cutting them. Torturing them. Then setting fire to my house and then making sure that any passer-by's were killed. Three people stood outside the house whilst I was in my basket pram thing. I was here because my mother tried to get away as my father attempted to hold off the attackers that was threatening his family. Unfortunately he got ganged upon and was then killed. They than caught up to me and mum and then killed her too. No one knew why. But there were three people there that day. The one of the people shot the other two and there was one left. But now I can start to see the detailing of his face. It looked familiar. He looked ugly. He looked despicable. He looked like a younger version of Cowan. I think it was. It was him that killed my parents. The reason he left was because some other people got wind of what was happening and a group of random people scared him off. That's when I was put into a orphan hone and then adopted. But it was Cowan. He killed them.

I fell to my knees tears streaming out of my eyes.

"It was you." I said in a very tearful tone.

"Yes it was me. I was sent to your home to kill you all." Cowan powerfully asserted.

"But why? We done nothing wrong!" I state.

"It's not about what you done. It's about what you could have done. You had the potential to ruin this planet because the person that told me knew you had a dark ego. And if harvested correctly could change the fate of assassinations forever. Assassins would be made to only kill those that are necessary rather than kill to make sure they live. It would have destroyed everything. But guess what. I didn't get paid that day. I got fired. Because my job went uncompleted. Thanks to that mob I couldn't kill you when you were a baby. That meant that I couldn't kill you till you were 18. That was the only rule. Kill when they are a baby or when they are an adult. Nothing in-between. But that got changed after you left the school. It then took me 6 years to track you down. And now I can finish what I started. To finish the whole family. So no more of you can exist!" Cowan said with a very sinister tone.

What did he mean the whole family. He doesn't mean.

"You don't mean my kids and husband?!" I ask worried.

"Yep! Now your going to come with me to your final destination! Or else others will die to!" Cowan stated.

I stood up then followed him to where ever he was taking me now very fearful for my whole family. I had to try and see them just one more time. Especially if this is the end. But Blake and Michaela may suffer the same fate as me and Jordan! That's something I don't want them to experience. But my fear keeps me from attacking him. It is the only thing that I cant get rid of. And boy is it ducking frustrating! To know that my rival can always get the better of me just though the fear of what he may do to me or my family and friends. But one thing is for certain. I have no idea what is going on now and I don't have another plan. This really could be the end!
