The sound of the gun going off echoed through the silent alleyway, I felt him go still in my arms, his chest slowly stopped heaving. I was leaning against the brick wall behind me and his weight begin to lean against me. 
I sunk to the ground, still clinging to him, refusing to let go, my face still pressed against the nape of his neck. As the ringing in my ears subsided along with the echo of the gun it was replaced with silence. Complete silence, a wet sticky substance started to soak my hands but I ignored it. 
Tears stained my cheeks, my entire body shaking as I held him close to me, my back against the wall, the brick digging into my back, I didn't let him go, even as I felt the warmth spread across his chest, soaking through his shirt, covering my hands, creating a puddle of red around us. I refused to let him go, slowly I lifted my head my eyes opened, I was alone, the man was gone, leaving nothing behind. And the man that saved my life more times then I can count, lied dying in my arms. 
His chin rested against his chest, his head slightly to the sides, his chest barely moved under my hands, I did nothing, I said nothing, I just sat there on the ground, his head against my chest, thunder rumbled above as lightning flashed brightly in the sky and just as the first drop of rain fell  I cried.

"I LOVE YOU." I said as the rain soaked through my clothes but I didn't care. My heart pounding louder than the thunder rumbling above us. I took a breath, my voice, shaky, but determined. "I loved you since the day I found you in that dark horrific alley... wounded" I smiled eager to hear the words I long for. He looked away, his jaw clenched. For a moment, all I could hear was the sound of rain hitting the pavement. Then, he finally spoke, his voice barely louder than a whisper. "Don't" His honey brown eyes meet mine, as I hear the coldness in his voice. "What..." I responded as my tears began to form, but still had a smile on my face. "Camilla.. you want to save people's life and make a difference in the world.. while I do the opposite I am not what you need if you want to succeed in that dream.."

" You can't do this mission alone! I won't allow you to make reckless decisions based on your emotions, Via." Exhaling, I cross my arms around my waist and stare at him with frustration. "You can be mad all you'd like, it's not going to change my decision." Getting up from the black leather chair I walk towards the wooden door and go to push it open with my right hand until I hear him behind me. "Via, I'm serious. Listen to me, going alone is a suicide mission, I'll send someone experienced to go along with you when you're ready to leave." He exhales and sits down in his chair with his hand in his chin. I glance at him, my silver eyes burning a hole right through him as I huff and open the door all the way and exit his office. A dark alleyway creeps up in view as I sprint down the weathered cobblestone, leaving wet footprints as I dart into the small spot. The full moon beams down from the sky, illuminating the small buildings up against each other for support. The smell of rain and sea water infiltrate my nose as I breathe in heavily, exhaling as I remember that it's only half past 12 a.m. Slowing down to a walking speed, I glance around me and cover my face with my dampened hood and keep my eyes fixated on the sleek ground below me. My mission: to infiltrate the Six Eyed Serpent, an organization of the most wanted and criminally insane. The top 4 leaders of the group are identified by the creeping two headed snake symbol. And let me rephrase, this isn't just my mission, it's my death wish. A suicide mission. No one has ever faced any of the Six and lived to see the light of day. This is my story, about an experienced assassin going up against the most ruthless group of people the country as ever seen.

I clutched the gun to my chest. The blood on my hands, outfit and hair knotted with it. The body stared up at her, mocking her. I finished the job. But why did I feel so empty. The assignment was to kill the target, not everyone that I did. But they always said whatever it takes to get the job done. I killed people for a living. I was good at what I did... I enjoyed what I did. Memories were filling my mind too quickly to stop them so I just let them run their course. *** His weight disappeared from me and his hand grabbed the front of my leather jacket and yanked me to my feet. One of his hands were wrapped around me throat while the other was flicking a switch blade back and forth. I stared at it, flicking in and out addicted to the trance. I looked up as his voice interrupted me. "What am I going to with you Liza?" "I don't know brother. Why don't you tell me?" "Hmm," his fingers brushed my face. He was vulnerable; I stepped on his feet and watched as he yelped in pain. I reached for the gun on the mantle behind me. I cocked the gun, the safety clicked off. "Liza?" His voice was weak and frightened. "Please." He was always a good actor. His eyes were betraying his words. They were dark with vengeance and fury. His body lunged towards me. I pulled the trigger, hearing a noise echo in my ears. I dropped the gun on the ground. My feet slowly dragged my body over to Liam's body. His fair blonde hair was turning a darkish yellow red from the blood spilling from his lifeless body. Previously named: 'I'm Back, And Now I Have A Gun'

-Highest Ranking #3 in Nightmares- "Stop lying to me." Asher hissed harshly, his eyes furious as he hits the wall beside my head making me flinch. "I'm not lying." I defended pathetically, looking away from his dull eyes. Knowing if I locked eyes with him he'll tell through my lies. "Yes you are. Everything you say are lies!" He yells punching the wall again making me flinch. "Enlighten me! What did I lie about!? Huh?" I asks, my anger raising by the seconds. "Saying that you're fine when you're not. Saying that you sleep when you don't. Saying that nothing bothers you, but in reality you can't breath." His heavy breathe fans my face as I held in my tears. My heart beats rapidly against my chest. "Aren't you tired of lying? Aren't you tired of pretending!? Tell me!?" He yells, his veins in his neck popping out with each words he says. As he begins shaking my shoulders like he's trying to pull me back to reality. Behind my smile was a breaking heart. Behind my laugh I'm falling apart, behind my my eyes are tears at night. No one has ever notice but him. Only him. _______________________________________ They thought their pain was permanent, every ounce of fear and doubt drowned them in a deep pit. They tried to climb out of it, but they couldn't. They were too stubborn to actually acknowledge they needed each other. Their love was like two opposite magnets trying to click. What do you think happens when a mafia attacks an illegal underground fight? Asher, the mysterious heartless man helps Ava...?

They should've made sure the heavens weren't on my side when they killed me. For I have returned in devils form to claim vengeance for the girl I used to be. "Who are you?"
