The Quintessential Quintuplets

Chapter 9.5- Alone

Ξ ??? Pov Ξ

I had finally done it, I had quit my job as an assassin. Looking back I realized that I did a lot of damage to families. I had killed every single one of the clans family members in order to keep balance and power in the hands of them. But I finally quit. I could finally live a life happy and independent.

"A cheeseburger doesn't sound so bad right now." My stomach started hurting from the hunger. I started to walk faster when I suddenly felt like something was following me. I then decided to confirm it by taking weird turns and streets. I was glad that I still had my senses on. Usually I don't since im not working but I figured that they might want to keep me quiet for everything I did. I finally turn into a alleyway to confront them.

"She's caught on!" The man behind me suddenly yelled. A bunch of people showed up blocking all possible exits. I was surrounded by all of them.

"Not gonna play fair huh?" I laughed nervously. I never took on a whole group of people at once.

"We just have to make sure you don't escape. Orders from the boss." He smiled at me creepily. I prepared myself. Seconds felt like hours. No one moved until the same guy who followed me signaled them. The first two henchmen came running towards me. I easily took them down by throwing them on each other. As they all started attacking it got harder to move.

"Gotcha!" One of them managed to grab me by my leg and lift me into the air throwing me against the concrete floor. I quickly kicked him in the face falling down with him. Three more came running trying to keep me down.

"Shit!" The unconscious guy wouldn't let go of my leg making me remain stuck.

"Let... go you... fucker!" I yelled at him while kicking his hand. I suddenly felt a kick in my stomach. I felt myself floating in the air until my whole back felt the cold wall. My head started to feel fuzzy. I was trying my hardest to stay awake. I suddenly felt a cold hand around my neck. I couldn't breathe anymore.

"You should've just let yourself be killed. Now you have to die a painful death. Truly depressing." He put more pressure into it. Was I really about to die in this place? In this situation? I was finally free from being chained to a miserable life only for it to be taken away once again by the same people who kept me down. I wanted to be free, I wanted to see the world, I wanted to fall in love and feel a kiss or a hug or anything remotely romantic. I'm truly pathetic...

"SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!" I had suddenly yelled, I couldn't help the tears from falling down my face. I wanted to be saved.

'I know, I've taken people's lives. I have done the thing no human should do, sin. I erased entire bloodlines from history all because they were scared of losing power. I don't wanna die. So please help me. Give me one more chance please god.... anyone listening please...' I felt my body slowly fading. I was gonna die here no matter what.

"This world... is truly... awful..." I closed my eyes slowly.

"Boss, what the hell is that!" I could only hear screams. I felt the cold floor once again. I tried opening my eyes to see what was happening. I couldn't believe it. The whole place was covered of bodies. I then saw him, white hair, grayish eyes, he had an angry expression. I suddenly realized he had the guy who was holding me in the air. He was floating.

"Tell me everything you know about the organization!" The guy laughed at him.

"Oh kid... you'll be killed by our leader in no time... long live the k-" his body broke down to pieces. I could see them. These dark hands. They all came from that guy. We both made eye contact, he made his way towards me.
