Sleeping deeply in her slumber with the aircon off and cold weather, Willow was still covered in sweat. She slowly opened her eyes, shifted from her position, then finally stood up. She picked the pack of cigarette on her bedside and opened the door to her balcony. Standing under the dim lights from outside, she radiated a dangerous silhouette while smoking. Waking up in the middle of the night was not something new to her. She had grown accustomed since she couldn't do anything about it. She had never been unforgetful of her nightmares hidden on the back of her mind.
Most people are already fast asleep during midnight. For some, it was the right time to make money. The most notorious criminals of the city, a group of 2 men and a lady known for slaughthering their victims like animals hanging every organs they can pull out of the victims' body around the house, are on the move again. The haunted looking house at the South District was their next target. Making sure everything was clear around the area, they climbed towards the roof. The man with a face almost covered in piercings uttered, "Not bad. This house doesn't look old at all". The only lady nodded in agreement and said, "Maybe we can empty the house. Just get everything and see what we can sell". Excitement was evident in her voice. The bulky guy with them only grunted in response. Without making any noise, each entered the house through the window nearest to them.
As expected, the house is without a doubt filled with valuable furnitures. Some are worth a million if sold at the black market. With this thought, they didn't hesitate getting all what they could. The man with piercings suddenly dropped a vase creating a loud sound of breaking glass. The lady was ready to kick him for being careless but came at halt when she followed his gaze. She suddenly turned pale and shouted, "Who's there?" This alerted the bulky guy making him turn to all directions.
"Welcome uninvited guests". The voice was particularly soft yet filled with no emotions making them shiver. A woman's silhouette appeared before them.
Willow, from the moment the criminals set foot in her den, already noticed their pressence. Only an idiot will not know of their pressence. She knew it was the group of criminal with the notorious reputation. Before the man with piercings could pull the gun's trigger, she threw knives to his direction stabbing him to his heart, head, and eyes. The lady screamed in horror seeing the blood splurt out. She expectantly looked at the bulky guy, "What are you waiting for?! Shoot her already! Useless trash!"
Too late. Willow moved swiftly and jumped in front of the bulky guy poking him in the eyes with her lit cigarette before easily snapping his neck broken. She then turned to the lady, "Afraid?" The corner of her lips slightly lifted. The lady sneered,"Who's afraid of who? Wait untill I'll finish you off!"
Seeing Willow not making a move, with her trembling hands she took her aim and made a shot but missed. Willow provoked her, "That was it?" She moved closer then kicked the gun out of the lady's grip. Without saying anything, she grabbed her throat and pulled it out. Surely, she used too much strength she literaly ripped the lady's throat out of her body.
The house was a bloody mess with unsightly corpses lying around the corner. No expression can be made from Willow's face. As she looked around, there was a glint of satisfaction in her eyes. The criminals deserved it. Guess today was not their lucky day. Must've been out of luck already.
