26 Chapter 26: A Sin I Commi (1/2)

I swing my dagger at her as the foul stench of blood fills the air. She smirks and blocks easily.

”What's a young girl doing here fighting pirates?”

Her strong accent and gangster style fighting hits me hard. I get a couple cuts here and there, barely missing her too. After about ten minutes of even matching, we both pant. However, the killing intent in her eyes doesn't fade.

”Little girl, you'd better not be holding back 'till the end, or you'll end up a sad corpse,” she laughs sinisterly.

The killing intent worsens as she nears. With a sudden dive, I shockingly stabbed her to protect myself. The foul stench of blood fills the air more, this time, coming from my hands. Her blood drips down to the soil as she looks at me with a nasty smile.

”Welcome t-to h-hell,” she stutters her last breath.

I shriek in horror as she collapses on the ground. I killed someone! I killed someone! The other pirates back away from me and run in terror. The overflowing horror and blood consumes my soul as I try to escape. My eyes black out.

I find myself back in my room. I rub my eyes and sit up.

”O-oh daughter! You're awake!”

I look over to see my mother and father with tears in their eyes, worried. A warm feeling rushes over me. Oh, I haven't felt this in so long… to be loved like this…

I smile at them, ”Of course!”
