Micah Ajae-Lee is a Hunter, trained to kill. But her life has an un expected twist and goes downhill from there. The people she had learned to call family, killed. The race she had learned to kill, killed her heart. The race she never knew existed...
My words hung in the air, echoing off the stone walls. 'go ahead'
I stared the man hard in the eyes. Bright blue met cold hazel. Calm met anger. I breathed out through my mouth and kept my eyes on his. I saw him swallow heavily as he blinked before adjusting his grip on the gun. One corner of his mouth lazily slid up into a smirk and a small laugh came from his closed lips. "your wish is my command"
And with that, he pulled the trigger.
It happened so fast, I managed to move my head down and to the left just enough for the bullet to miss. But no gun only has one bullet. As I ducked my head I kicked up and out backwards, my shoe connecting with Kai's chair and he was thrown backwards and onto his back, out of the danger zone. But the gun released another shot and I felt the bullet go through my shoulder. My shoulder jerked back and I gasped in pain, but I had no time to scream, there was a man trying to kill me.
with a growl I leaped at the man, he was not expecting it and let out a shout of surprise as I tackled him to the ground. I heard the sound of another gun shot and flinched away as I tried to pin the mans flailing arms down. I finally managed to do so and plucked the gun out of his hand. I got up and to my feet, I stumbled backwards and tried to catch my breath.
Still breathing heavily I raised the gun and aimed it at the mans head. He coughed and turned his head to look at me, his eyes widened when he saw I was holding the gun. But he laughed. "you wouldn't shoot me" he chuckled.
I scoffed and my finger pressed down on the trigger.

"wanna bet?" I said to the lifeless body.
I lowered the gun and stared at the crumpled figure for a second as the thought of the fact I had just killed someone was registering in my head- but hey, this was the world now.
I dropped the gun onto the floor and spun on my heel, rushing over to Kai. I crouched down beside him, he groaned "why'd you do that?"
"do what?" I asked as I stared at him, I just saved his life and what does he do? He asks me why I did it.
The fu-
"why'd you shove me backwards " he wheezed
I mentally sighed in relief. I laughed lightly as I searched him for any deadly wounds. "to stop you from getting shot"
"well just so you know, I hit my head really hard" he said and opened his eyes to look at me. I looked at his face and saw laughter in his eyes.
I smiled "come on" I said and pulled up his chair, I set it on it's legs and untied the ropes, I hissed as one of my nails bent backwards.
"you ok?" Kai asked over his shoulder. "yeah yeah " I said and unwound the rope. Well no, I wasn't. I had just been shot in the shoulder, but never mind that.
