He knew what a monster he had become. The need for power, status, and more erased the man he could have become if only things had been different. Perhaps there was regret running through him, perhaps not. 

The Butcher of Prague, Hitler's Hangman, the Man With the Iron Heart, Blond Beast, and the Young Evil God of Death. All names given to a man that had blood on his hands by the thousands, if not more. 

Yet, the path that he should have taken beckons like a beacon in the dark until his thoughts are consumed by her.

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing.

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: • Statements in slashes indicate Giva's self talks. e.g / -𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝- / • It is what it is. Eighteen Years To an End. A mind filled exclusively with dark thoughts. The ones that would entirely change one's personality if only they take over, once you have had your lot...Something so menacing that even death cant resist not having you. Unusually, have you pondered over how it would be, if someone would've wanted to stop existing on their birthday? Giva, her 18th birthday is a day close and her wish is to be gone- disappear into the end or the beginning of something new. But why is it so...Is that her desire out of despair? Giva believed that one starts to question existence when one's not living, but to inquire herself is how she knew she was, infact, living and yet not alive. Would she quit what could possibly be called the suffering or is it a purpose? The world seems to have made her believe that she will have to take her thoughts, her feelings with her to the grave. With an impression like "No one needs to know 'cause nobody really understands or wants to" that the world left on her, she eventually gave up on people. Such a wish why Giva had, could be fairly reasoned... With such depth that even Giva couldn't help but romanticize death when it came to herself- to somehow disappear. What separates her and her wish is nothing but Death itself. What could it be to hold her back from the sin, if nothing but God? And if she was to give in to it, that would only be so ungrateful and unfair, for the glass was always half full. Yet, the other side seems to be the only way to sound peaceful. If there's one... Is it the only way? Is there the 'other side' ? *Song: While I'm Alive by Lauren Jauregui, Femme it forward* "I haven't celebrated my birthday in years..."
