Adelaide's POV:

I was walking down the dirty city street, following the directions dad gave me on my phone. Apparently I'm supposed to take out these two people. Names are Alastor and Angel. Something about them is so familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

I get to the place. It looks like a huge mansion. I do what dad told me to do. I roared. I know it's a little primal but apparently that's how you tell someone you wanna fight down here.

As soon as I did that, I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and there was the guy from the picture. Alastor I think. Seeing him in person...I felt drawn to him. Like I know him. The scent of strawberries filled the air. The aroma was all to recognizable. I definitely met this guy before. Probably one of dad's old friends. He had a lot of people over when I was little, but as I grew older and more powerful, the number of people dwindled.

He did look very threatening...I can't lie and say I'm not a little but frightened. But I know I can do this. I won't disappoint dad.

When he raised his head and looked at me, his deranged smile faded. His eyes widened and his entire being just froze. He looked like he just saw a ghost or somethin'.

He just stared at me.

This was getting uncomfortable.
"Hey man? You gonna put up a fight or what?" I asked, getting slightly impatient.

"......."

"DUDE are ya ok?? I haven't even hit ya yet!"

Alastor just stared at me. Then I heard the door to the mansion open and I saw the other target. Angel Dust.

He stopped and stared as well. Jesus what's wrong with these people??

Angel put his hand to his mouth and walked up to me. He was a little taller than me but not a lot.

"Addie...?"

He pulled me into his arms, which I certainly didn't appreciate. I pulled a knife out my pocket and ran it across his cheek.

He yelped and I pulled away. "Listen man, I don't know who either of you are and you're both obviously batshit crazy. So imma make this quick. You gonna fight me or can I just shoot you where you stand?"

"Wh-what??" Angel said with tears in his eyes.

Alastor pulled angel behind him. And finally spoke. "Listen darling, why don't we talk this out. Who sent you?"

Who did this joker think he was?? I get some demons here are old school but don't think for one second that imma tolerate being called "darling" by a GUY......only girls can do that.

"Alright, ill play ya little game before I kill ya."

I saw angel's face drop.

I sighed and started telling them who sent me. What? Unprofessional? They gonna be dead in a matta' of minutes anyway.

"Valentino sends his regards." I said in a sly voice. "However you'll be too double dead to send them back. I've been sent here to eliminate you and take Alastor's turf. Does that answer ya question?"

Alastor and Angel just looked at me with pain in their eyes.
Angel stepped forward once again and I flashed my knife. He stepped back but opened his mouth to speak.

"Addie...honey do you really not remember us?"

Ok now I was angry. I'm not here to be mocked on my very first mission. "Are you two insane or some shit?? My dad is Valentino. You're my targets! Any last words??" I yelled as I held both guns up to their faces.

Alastor reached into his pocket quickly and pulled out a pendant.

"Hey!" I yelled "HEY!! What the fuck is that??"

He opened the pendant and turned it around to show me. Inside was a picture of Alastor and Angel...and me. I was 4...I only recognized myself because dad took pictures of me too when I was little. Suddenly like a flash flood. Memories rushed back to me. The hotel..mama...daddy...aunt Charlie and aunt vaggie...Finneas..

No. NO this is a trick. Some fucking magic bullshit alastor is pulling to make sure I fail. I WILL NOT FAIL.

"What...well what does that prove! So you met me when I was young big deal!! I'm not 'bouta fail dad!"

Alastor looked at me with sadness in his eyes and Angel was crying into his shoulder. "Adelaide. You are our daughter. Valentino took you from us! Please honey..you have to remember.."

I panicked. What's happening?? This was going all wrong. I'm supposed to get in and out.

More memories started to rush back. Playing in the long corridors of the hotel. Getting ice cream with my aunts...I fell and scraped my knee..









"Daddy!  Put on a band-aid and we'll be twins!"

















"Momma it's only a scrape!"

















"Goodnight mommy and daddy!"
















"AAAAAAHH!!"










I felt tears on my cheeks. I turned around and hid my face. They won't see me cry. I'm not their kid. I'm dad's...Valentino..he raised me. HES MY DAD.  MY MOM IS DEAD. I HAVE NO BROTHER.












then it went black.
