Aiden
Walking in the streets of the city I felt really comfortable. Feeling like I was just another part of the crowd, walking with a direction, it felt like I had a purpose. As I got to the middle of my journey, I felt a vibration on the pocket of my jacket.
I stopped at the the front door of a hotel so that I wouldn't get wet with the rain. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and looked at the message.
"You have another work. Meeting tomorrow 8pm at the same place."
I felt myself go still. I knew I had to do it. I remembered what led me up to this life.
At 8 years old I started my boxing lessons. I felt every muscle in my body as new tool, and i kinda found myself. I remember the first punch I ever got.
"Aiden!! You have to concentrate if you dont want to lose a teeth!" My instructor shouted at me as if i I were in the army.
I tried to duck the next fist but my legs were too tired from the leg exercises I had done.
I gave up. I felt the blow on my cheekbone. I never felt something so real in my life.
I felt my dark hair get plasted to my head. I felt my wet shirt against my back. I felt a shiver on my spine because of the cold. si now felt every muscle in my body tighten for something warm and a less troubled life. Maybe one that played more.
That wasn't what got me into this life that didn't felt like it was mine at all even if I can stop it. I became a different person. The scarier part was that somehow, sometimes, I enjoyed it. The one who got me into this was my father.
"Son, this is a life were nothing comes for free. Were the weakest die, and the strongest conquer. This isn't a family business. This is world help to cleanse humanity, and to help it by doing the job no one dares to do." he said everything to me in the eye.
Looking at a 16 year old that was scared and shitless but that also felt he had to do something.
With the stare of a father that almost didn't blink, he nodded.
Those were his first and only words he said to me as I received my first text from the group. The text that made my life a living hell that I knew I had to dislike, but I couldnt help but feel like myself with it. Even if I didn't know who that was.
