Prologue

Karen Bass

I never imagined my life would end like this, not like this!

Being killed and bleeding like an animal that has just been killed on a hunt and is now at the mercy of its predator.

My desire for revenge went beyond what I could imagine or hoped to achieve, destroy everything that my enemy loved the most and that somehow had a high price that is now being charged with interest, I smirk even though I feel my throat being invaded by the blood.

But I don't regret for a moment anything I've done, not really!

For the first time in my life I feel at peace like I've never felt before.

Seeing in my eyes the pain and suffering of my killer who is now in front of me at this moment looking at me with so much hate is enough, all the harm he caused me came back ten times worse.

I looked at the cloudy and gray sky, and I thought: ( I don't know, if I'll find my parents on the other side? But if that were possible just once, I'd be happy, even though I know my soul is condemned to hell, and my enemies are waiting for me, I committed many evil things and bad things in this damn life, I don't believe that my soul has redemption, let alone to enter paradise. A "flash" goes through my head quickly, they say that when we are leaving this world the best memories of your life appears m like a movie' through the eyes.

The memories of my childhood with my parents are one of the best and also the, with Clark and all the good things I've achieved so far, the friends I've made on this journey in the end I still managed to have a good life!

Even with the desire for revenge consumed me.

The bad memories I have from my past and the pain were much stronger and led me to cause this trail of blood and killing some innocents, I was never one to trust anyone but myself, I learned the hard way that no one can be trusted not even your own shadow that leaves you in the dark, so I don't suppose you should blindly trust like my father did when he was killed by the guy who claimed to be his friend.

I witnessed my parents being murdered in front of me by a disgusting, heartless man.

Seeing my mother begging for her life and being executed with a shot to the head, lying only her limp and lifeless body in front of me, my father just kneeling facing me with sad eyes, but with his head held high and hissing the words:

"Don't trust the closest people even your best friend, he will stab you in the back if you doubt or wait.

After that I watched him, having his neck cut off, by a knife falling lifeless in front of me, he was just a 5 year old child witnessing all that injustice and violence, the only thing I could do was cry over the bodies of my country .

But even that was taken from me by that monstrous man, his henchmen dragged me out of the house and threw me in the car I saw only the house where I lived so happy moments with my family being consumed by fire, after that I only noticed the man if approaches me, with something in his hands the smell was too strong, then he pressed a cloth to my nose and making me pass out.

When I woke up I was under the care of a man who told me that he would be my tutor and teacher, and that I would adapt quickly to the new lifestyle I would have from now on and be the type to learn fast.

With that 16 years passed and I became one of the best elite assassins of the criminal organization, I was the best of my class at only 12 years old, I killed the first victim at 13, from then on I was always climbing on a suicide mission behind the other.

Being the best and highest paid killing weapon in the organization.

But when finding out the truth about my past that changed when I found an execution file where my family was the desire for revenge grew, I would take revenge on the unfortunate, and hunt him like an animal, I slaughtered and destroyed everything he loved and owned by killing those who were important to him, before he tried to kill him the way that bastard killed my father and mother.

I ended up with all his empire and his wealth left him in misery as the wretch had done to me.

However, not everything went as planned, the bastard came after me to get revenge and gave me 2 shots and now I'm thrown at this exact moment seeing my body consumed by my own blood while my killer gives the last evil smile and pulls the trigger of the weapon to finish the job.

“I always win in the end, Karen!

It may take time, but I win, ready to meet your parents in hell?

Your damn bitch...

I just looked at the sky one last time before accepting my fate and closed my eyes, memorizing once again the scene of my father and mother dancing in the living room of our house and then him spinning me around in the air.

While smiling endlessly, dying with such an image is better than having nothing to remember!

I hear the sound of the shot and think:

" It's over Karen, this time is the end... However, I see the man who destroyed my life fall like a stone beside me, dead and I look forward to seeing only the only man who really loved me in life and would be able to give his life for me, he has the gun in his hand, serious and possessed of hate looking at the corpse of my enemy, however, he gets desperate when he sees me and runs towards me and kneels holding me in his arms and confesses crying.

“Karen, my love, hold on tight!

Don't die, stay with me, don't close your eyes, stay awake, I love you, I didn't leave me...

As he kisses me desperately.

I just watched him and smiled, bringing my hand closer to his face caressing him, while he watched me with his beautiful blue eyes, transmitting peace to me and I feel once again the taste of blood invading my throat.

My eyelids begin to droop death's sleep is near is so deep and I feel the darkness envelop me as his voice starts to fade into small whispers I can barely hear, but there's only silence!
