Chapter 58 - Death part 4 (1/2)

*Sniff* *Sob* A small kid huddled quietly inside a wardrobe trying desperately not to make a sound and failing spectacularly. *Bang* The wardrobe door was slammed open as a girl with black hair and green eyes now stood before him.

With both claws popped and dripping with the blood of the little kid's parents, Laura's eyes were vacant. *Waa* The kid started to ball his eyes out as he stared up into the face of the person who just killed his parents, he was so sure that he was about to share the same fate that he couldn't help but pee himself.

Something that his mother had been trying to get him to stop recently, he arched back even further into the wardrobe but deep down he knew that wouldn't be enough. Shivering and clutching his eyes shut he waited, and waited, but nothing happened.

The woman in front of him didn't move she just stared down at him, they stayed like that for minutes and minutes. Laura's eyes shifted to the scared face of the child in front of her, before shifting down to the small toy clutch in his hands.

She didn't know what it was, but it looked like a man dressed in blue and red, and he had a small spider emblem on his chest. The kid grabbed onto it with such intensity, as if it would protect him from her. If she were being honest with herself she also wasn't sure why she had stopped, she had done so many missions in the last few years, and it wasn't unusual to kill a person.

But when she tried to do it right now, she couldn't bring herself to slash down with her claw. Deliberating to herself for an agonizing hour, Laura finally lowered her hand and left the house, her mission failed.

********************

*Wack* Bang* ”Urgh* ”Grrr” *Crack* ”What do you want to fight back? Come on then!!!” Kimura whacked Laura to the ground again; they had been fighting for over an hour now. With the ability to control her density, she was the perfect handler or torturer for Laura.

Laura touched her cheek for a second to see how much damage was done before sprinting at her once again. It didn't matter that she had failed her mission; even if she succeeded Kimura would still want to punish her in some form or fashion.

The pain was just another day in her life, another thing she would have to deal with.

*************

”You have to kill Zander. Once he's dead you can finally be free.” Laura looked impassively at Sarah who was standing in front of her. Ever since Sensei died she had been the only one who was nice to her, but deep in her mind she could still remember years ago when she had pressed that button, when she had abandoned her.

Her honed mind started to weigh the options and advantages of killing Zander, after being sent on so many assassination missions she had to evolve her thinking process. If she didn't make decisions in split seconds it could lead to more pain, not death, but certainly more pain.

Thinking to herself for a short while she slowly nodded her head. Zander had to die, even if she was caught in the end she wanted to kill him so much. No one in her life had made her feel so much hate.

Nodding one time before leaving, Sarah looked at the guarded back and remembered her emotionless eyes. She couldn't help but let out a sad sigh, gone was the little girl she used to read too, they had changed her, destroyed that innocence.
