Merciless Love

The people are running, the terror on each face confirms that they already know their fate but will do anything to try and avoid it. Why can't people just accept the fact that life ends? It seems they would die peacefully if they did. Oh well, its not my place to tell them to calm down. After all, I am the one doing the killing.

When I was a little girl I had dreams of becoming a veterinarian, saving my pets was the only thing on my little mind. Things change though. My parents got divorced when I was 12 years old. It was a pretty rough experience. Three years later my mother was in a car accident and went into a coma. She still hasn't woken up. I had to move in with my dad and two older brothers. Justin is in the Army, he's such a good guy. I love him a lot even though he doesn't know it. I haven't decided on whether or not I'll watch his wedding yet though. His fiancee seems nice enough though. My other brother, Michael, is a different story, he dropped out of high school and just like the cliche, he's working at a fast food joint and looks like a bum. Well he is one, such a moocher. My dad is still alive. He's remarried and well, lets just say its a good thing she had me shipped off when she did.

My name was Maria, but as I've mentioned before, things change. I go by Nadine now. I am 24 years old and a contract mercenary. There are no such thing as friends, but there's always partners. If you have my back I'll have yours, but when the guns stop blazing, don't expect anything else from me.
