Chapter 1
My name is Michael Alrbighte. I’m a killer, a monster, or a devil with a gun. I hide in plain sight with common folk and have common ground rules when I’m not going through with my fanatical espionage.
I sat in the quiet alleyway whilst struggling to un-clip the buttons to my dress shirt. The sharp pain from the deep gash on my abdomen stung wildly. The warmth of the blood wetting my Shirt.
After shooting dead the most renowned Assassin. I couldn't help but smile a little. The feeling of power surged through me like electricity. It wasn't everyday i got to kill high properties especially not with a bit of sass. I laid my head on the wall of an old almost bent like building. I could feel the vibrations from the loud music from the walls. I closed my eyes and allowed myself to feel this vibration whilst thinking of how i would get out of this situation.
The Night was quiet, no one chattering and laughing, no dogs barking from Unknown sources And no crickets chirping through the night. It was pure silent bliss.
I gulped down hard whilst i felt my body began to fade from my own consciousness.
“ Oh my, hey man are you feeling alright” i heard a man say lightly whilst patting me down hesitantly.
I opened my eyes slightly and stared at the man who seemed fearful more than not but before i could say a word i heard another voice, A woman's voice trembling.
“ oh god Anthony is he alright, we should call a hospital” the woman said.
In that moment i gained my speech again and quickly replied “ no, don’t do that.”
she gasped and looked at the man before turning back at me.
“ your okay, oh god your bleeding pretty badly are you sure you don’t want us to call an ambulance” the man said.
I nodded, my breathing becoming more hitched and faint “ just….just get me some bandages please” i ordered quietly.
The man nodded and ran off yelling at the woman to keep me awake. She nodded and ran over to me. she kneeled down and adjusted me in a way she found more suiting. I saw her lips crack a sympathetic smile before i closed my eyes again but before i could fully escape my consciousness i felt a warm hand caress my face “ please, you have to stay awake, we cant have you dying on us now can we.” she said softly
I opened my eyes slightly again and smiled “ why are you helping me?” i asked curiously
Her eyes widened a bit before she looked away. Her smile disappeared for a moment before she turned back to face me. “ Well, we are god fearing people, and if we see people in need we help them.”
I smiled staring at her brown and innocent eyes, staring deep into them before closing my eyes again. “ do you think i deserve your help?” i waited for an answer i thought she might've had one but instead...
Silence...
I opened my eyes she was looking away again; Her eyes looking more sadder than i thought possible. I watched as she cracked another sympathetic smile. I knew she was thinking of something to say but it wouldn't come to her in time. She didn't look at me again this time she just sat kneeling beside me quietly. It stayed like that for a while. quiet, it was almost deafening, i didn't realize how quiet it was before. maybe it was because i had no one to accompany the silence with. Before long the silence was bombarded by the man who's name was Anthony running towards us in the dark alleyway with bandages and other first aid objects.
“ Okay, move out the way so i can help him” He said out of breath the woman did as told whilst watching with fearful eyes as the man did his work. I laid there as he quickly wrapped me up with as much bandages as he could and before long he had finished. He continued to pull me up and i groaned in pain whilst he carefully tried to lift me up on my feet. My pain was suddenly flushed out when i saw another silhouette at the end of the alleyway. The two couple stared at the direction of the man as well and the woman screamed but before i could realize why she was screaming it was to late. a loud 'pop' was heard before the woman stopped screaming her arms dropped to her side before she completely collapsed on the floor.
“ Abbie....ABBIE!?” Anthony yelled after her rushing to her side and unintentionally letting me go to collapse back onto the floor with a loud thud. The man stepped closer. Each step was followed by a clacking sound that came from his shoes. The intensity of the situation made my heart throb even faster. His silhouette stood over the crying man with confidence pride and pure evil. Anthony looked up at the man with mercy in his eyes. tears streaming from his face. "why, why did you kill her" Anthony said chocking back mean tears. The man stood still staring at Anthony before simply putting the firearm onto his head and without flinching put a hole in it. The mans crying seized as his body dropped on top of the woman.
I gulped hard and scurried onto my feet. Struggling to get up whilst holding my abdomen with pain. I ran as fast as i could trying to avoid the bullets being fired at me.
“ Albrighte” i heard someone whisper, But i didnt dare stop to look back i just kept running into mazes of more alleyways until I ran into a wall. i turned around staring at the silhouetted man who was still as a statue.
I didn't speak i just stared with wide eyes as the man silently pulled his hand straight out. The gun pointing directly at me i stood waiting for him to mercilessly kill me. Just as he had done to the couple.
I smiled, widely “ what, do you really think i'm scared of death?” i said frantically
“ nothing scares me more than nothing” i added with a wide smile curling up onto my face.
i was lying, i was afraid, afraid i would go out this way. My whole legacy would be destroyed because i got caught in the line of fire and was bleeding in an alleyway where it was most easy to kill me.
The man didn't say a word for a while he just stood there, still pointing the gun directly at me before he said calmly.
“ your wish…is my command”
That was the last thing i heard before a light flashed and
i- micheal albrighte…dead.
