+ The First Encounter +
Sheridan Town…
"Good night, princess. Tomorrow is your third birthday. Mommy and Daddy have a surprise for you tomorrow," the beautiful woman said as she pulled the blanket into the child's neck, and adjusting her pillows.
"Surprise?" asked the two-year-old girl, Mitara, while lying on her bed.
"Yup. You better sleep now, so you will wake up early tomorrow for your surprise," she kissed the child on her forehead. "Good night. Mommy and Daddy love you."
"Love you too, Mom." She closed her eyes after her mother left the room.

Past midnight…
Mitara suddenly woke up in the midst of the night. She thought she heard her mom scream.
"Mommy?" She got off from her bed and walked towards the door. She went straight to her parent's room, two rooms away from hers.
When she reached the other side of the hallway, she wondered why the door of her parent's room is open, and the lights were off. She ran through the door and called them.
"Mommy… Daddy…" she called out in the dark. She can't see anything except a dark shadow that slowly turning towards her. "Mom, Dad…"
The shadow went nearer and she saw a shadow-like hand approaching her face.
"Who are you?" she asked.
XXXXX
Illumi Zaoldick's hand stopped. He was about to end the kid's life. The 10 year old assassin didn't know why his hand stopped in mid-air. She's going to die.
"Who are you?" the kid repeated. "Where are my Mom and Dad?"
His forehead wrinkled. The kid didn't even sound scared even though she already know that there's a stranger in front of her. He withdrew his hand. "They're dead."
"Dead?"
Illumi turned on the lights. The light flooded inside the room and the scene is almost shocking. Fresh blood was spread all over the room. On the bed, there's the couple who were bathing from their own fresh blood, heads separated from their bodies.
The kid's eyes widened in shock. "Mom? Dad?" she muttered. Tears started to flow in her red, round eyes. "Who… Who killed them?" the kid asked while moving towards her parent's lifeless bodies.
"I did." Illumi watched the kid as she touched her parents' corpse.
"Mommy… Daddy… Why?" the kid asked while touching her mother's hands, still crying. "Why did you kill them?"
"Business." He answered. "And I needed to include you," he said as he approached her.
The kid looked at the assassin. She didn't even blink when she saw his hand that was supposed to end her life. She didn't move.
Illumi's hand froze again in mid air. For the first time of his assassin life, he hesitated to kill someone. He saw something in the girl's eyes, something flickered.
Dammit! His hand is suspended at the girl's neck. His pointed nails are now pressed against the girl's dainty neck. It is starting to bleed.
"Why don't you scream? Run? I'm going to kill you!" he asked exasperatedly.
"Kill me," the girl said without blinking as she stares at his ebony eyes.
He pressed his nails harder. Still, the girl didn't move a bit.
After a minute of staring contest, Illumi gave up. He shut his eyes tightly and withdrew his hands. "Dammit!" He violently sighed... What the hell is happening to you, Illumi? She's just a kid!
Why wouldn't he kill me? Mitara thought to herself. She already felt the blood from her nape dripping onto her night dress. "Kill me," she said to the assassin once again. "I want to be with my Mom and Dad."
The assassin looked at her and stared hard.
"I don't have anything now, so just kill me instead," she continued.
Illumi is now confused. He didn't know what to do. He is a Zaoldick for god's sake! The eldest son of the Zaoldicks! A very dreadful, heartless assassin at a young age! Now, he couldn't kill that girl! What's happening to me?
Before he knew it, the girl collapsed on the hard floor. Her petite body fell on the bloody floor. In that point, he didn't even bother to think. He carried the girl and stride out of the mansion.
