Clockwork Assasins

Prologue

The sound of gunshots and screams fill the place around me. I look around the place and all I saw is red. The blood painted the place a red wallpaper. In the wall,the floor and even the furniture is painted by blood. The man didn't spare anyone in my family even my baby brother.

"Kill all of them. Don't spare any of them." The man with a big gun said. I stood in the door of the room with Einstein,my teddy bear,clutched tightly in my arms as I stared at my parents,blood pooling around them. I instinctively took a step back and it didn't go unnoticed by them. The man with the big gun pointed his gun at me and give me a sadistic grin.

"Sorry kid,but business is business nothing personal." But before he can shoot another man burst through the window and throw a knife at the big man. The other three cursed and began to fire at the man that save me. The man lifted me by waist and drag me to the wall covering us from the line of shots. He place me down and crouch to look me in the eyes.

"Stay here,close your eyes and count one to one hundred. Understand?" The man said sternly. I nodded and clutch Einstein tightly as I close my eyes and begin to count. I hear the grunts of pains and cursing and gunshots then silence. Someone tap my head and I press my eyes tightly.

"Its me,you can open your eyes now." The man said and I open my eyes to look at him.

"Are they gone?" I asked in a timid voice. The man look at me with expressionless face but his eyes were warm. He crouch down to be in the same height as me and said.

"Yes they're gone. What's your name?"

"Xena. What is yours?"

"I'm Matthew, do you want to come with me?" He asked as he gave me a smile.

"Where?"

"A place where you will be taught yo protect yourself and become like me."

"Are you a superhero?" I asked in awe as I look at him. He laughed and ruffle my dark hair.

"You can call me that,but the others call us assassins." My face fell down in disappointment.

"You're not a superhero then..."

"Yeah but assassins are much cooler than a superhero." He said and stood up.

"So do you want to come with me or not?" He said as he hold out his hand for me to take.

"What about mommy and daddy and Alex? We can't leave them." I said to him but he shook his head.

"They're dead. I'm sorry but they're not coming back." Even though I'm still five years old I know what dead is.

"No. They're just sleeping wait here I'm going to wake them up." I said as I ran pass him and into the room. I shake mommy first then daddy but they don't wake up. Its that time that I know that I'm all alone in the world and I cried.

"Come on kid." Matthew said as he pick me up in his arms. I'm covered in their blood but he didn't seem to mind it because he just held me and walk out of the house. As we walked out of the front door I already had the feeling that my life is getting a hell of a ride from then on.
