Hello people of the internet! So I decided to write a new story, and it's going to tie in with a story one of my friends is writing
You can find Said Story here: s/9810571/1/Phoenix-Crest
I won't spoil much for you because this story is still being planned out, but here's a little taste of what's to come
"Everyone deserves a second chance? Wrong, the only people who deserve second chances are the people who have truly done wrong with their lives in the past and genuinely want to do better with them in the future"
– Jason Ignatius, leader of the Nightingales
Prologue
A Second Chance
Well, this was it. Zeke was sitting in a cell in some prison, in the middle of god knows where awaiting his execution. "Well, at least I did what I could…" he said with a sigh.
It had been almost a year since he had given up his endless search for a bloodthirsty serial killer who had killed his fiancé. During his search he had done things, horrible things, to try and find the killer so he could kill him, slowly and painfully
But once he realized that all he was doing was just becoming another killer himself, he'd given up the search and gone into hiding as a simple herbalist in a small town
But one of his old informants had sold him out for the reward money, the guards had come in the middle of the night and arrested him before he'd even realized what was happening
The trial had been swift, the evidence overwhelming, and the sentence brutal and just
For his crimes of murder, torture, and cruelty he had been sentenced to hang the following morning, before the sun had fully risen, never seeing the light of day again
So here he sat, in his small cell with one barred window and a few guards outside, waiting for thr time to pass so he could finally go and die
Zeke let out another sigh "if only I could go back and do it over…" he said wistfully
"Would you do anything different?" Said a voice to his left, he turned, with a startled jump, to see who the voice belonged to
Sitting on his small bed next to him was a woman, dresses in a black skin suit of somekind, with long red hair, and piercing blue eyes
"Who are-" Zeke started but was interrupted
"Not important, just answer the question, would you do it differently?" The woman asked
Zeke fought down his curiosity and considered the question "yes, I wouldn't let myself go too far and do the many horrible things I did, I just wish I hadn't now"
"Why? Because you were caught and don't want to die?" The woman asked
Zeke shook his head "no, because I can't stand to know that I did those things, killed those people, because I thought they were lying and was too blind to see what a monster I had become"
The woman nodded to herself, seeming to be satisfied and held two fingers up to her ear, where Zeke saw was a lacrima of some kind strapped to it "you here all that boss?" she asked, after a second she nodded and stood up
"Well kid, today is your lucky day. You're getting what very few ever do" she told him and offered him her hand
Zeke frowned "which is?" he asked and took her hand
The woman smirked and pulled him up "a Second chance"
