Máquina del Asesina

Chapter one

Alexandra Roman???

You could say that I don't have the best memory. It's ok my friends tell me that all the time. I usually just laugh it off. Until recently when I keep running into people that continually call me Alexandra Roman. Now yes I know people make mistakes. I thought ok yeah a mistake. Maybe I just look like this person and you know what they say, once an accident, twice a coincidence and three times be worried. Now being called that over 20 times, I was beginning to get worried as would any normal person. I decide to talk to my friends about it. My curiosity gets the best of me. I have to google this person. The information I find is disturbing. This girl is WANTED by the FBI, the CIA pretty much the whole world. She is an assassin for the Mafia. Apparently a good one. But there are no pictures of her. I finally meet up with my friends. We are all sitting on my couch in the living room relaxing with a bottle of red wine. I begin to explain my situation to my friends. They are just as confused as I am. The only thing that they really had to say was that maybe it was a joke. Maybe someone came up with at my job. Then I said "my job?" my friend Lisa replied sarcastically "you know, that place you go to five days a week and 8 hours a day to make money. Or does the tooth fairy pays your bills?" I sat there silently and thought, I don't have a job. When they saw my serious and confused face my other friend Jasmine said" so your telling a paycheck just appears in your mailbox and you never thought that was suspicious." I obviously I felt very stupid at that moment. We ended the evening shortly after this "revelation". I said goodbye to my friends. They know I needed to be
alone and process these new thoughts. I wake up the next morning with a gun in my hand. I was wearing clothes that I would never wear, leather and red. I hated those things. The moment that I opened my eyes realized there was something wrong with this situation. I knew it was time to find answers. I was determined to get them no matter what. It seemed I had six hours until I would unknowingly blackout. I was not going to waste one minute. I changed the hideous clothing I was wearing but I kept the gun. Just in case I ran into some trouble. I had no idea how to use it but something in my subconscious told me that I did. I went out into the streets of the bronx. My family referred to this as the bad parts of town. I was raised on the upper east side of manhattan. I waited and I waited. I waited until a man approached me and addressed as me the name I had googled. "Alexandra Roman the boss has been waiting for you. Where the hell have you been?" all I had to say was "He is the one who needs me not the other way around" I had no idea where the sudden surge of confidence came from but it seemed to work well with the mysterious man standing in from of me. Then after a minute he gave me a smug look almost proud in a different perspective and said "Of course I always forget your little attitude but I am sure the boss enjoys it. Come on lets go before we are both late." I followed him silently and I will admit I was filled with fear but also adrenaline. I was excited and I have no idea why, but thats what im trying to figure out and I will. When we stopped walking I looked up. I was standing in front of the most gorgeous mansion I had ever seen. But, it seemed like it was the house of the devil himself. The mysterious man opened the door and led me to a room with the most obnoxious door I had ever seen. The doorknob appeared to be a ruby. A ruby the size of a doorknob! Inside there was a desk and a chair. There was a man, in the chair, his back facing the door. I heard him speak. His voice was like velvet. "My Alexandra, do you always have to make me wait?" I should have felt fear but instead I felt comfort. My voice would not come out. The the mysterious man yelled "leave us alone now" and the other people in the room departed

with fear in their eyes. I knew in that moment that I had walked into the devils room. When he turned around, the face I was staring at was the face that has been on every newspaper and news channel for the passed six months. The hidden man was no other than the leader of the mafia Sin Antonio Romano. The most dangerous and wanted man in the world and he was standing five feet in front of me. I was paralyzed with fear as he started walking towards me, dressed in his Armani suit. He greeted me with a kiss. I pushed him away and pulled out my gun. I stupidly forgot to check if it was even loaded. I asked him a simple question, "What the hell is going on and who the hell am I?" Instantly I knew that he knew. He looked at his watch and said "you haven't blacked out yet. You are the other Alex." I stood there so confused and asked him "what do you mean, other Alex?" That is when my question was finally answered. I did not like the answer. Sin said " You are my Maquina Asesina better known as Alexandra Roman and you work for the italian mafia as an assassin. You my dear are our best. One thing that you probably do not know is that you suffer from DID (dissociative identity disorder). Which means that you have a split personality. I do not know how you have it or when it started but I do know is the the other you is cold-blooded and will kill without a second glance. For eight hours a day five days a week your other personality comes to work. She kills whomever is destined to die by our hands. You also dispose of the body. You are utter perfection. You are my queen and the queen of the mafia". It was all too much too fast. I could not handle it all. I knew I had to leave and figure out what the hell I was going to do?
