Prologue: Hell on Earth

3rd Person point of view

Nia panted as she ran through the streets of Chikagai. She couldn't help but smile at the fact that a seven year old girl outsmarted a group of three adult men. Nia had pick-pocketed a few items from them, and she made it about three feet away from them before one got smart and yelled at her to stop. She ran, of course. It was easy to lose them in the crowds, her small size helping her to drift and squeeze through tight spaces. Nia made it halfway over a fence before she felt a hand grip her ankle and yank her down. Her face met hard dirt, and she instantly knew her nose was broken.

'Damn it…'

Nia thought as one of the men she stole from grabbed her by her ponytail, and lifted her off the ground. Even though it hurt, Nia couldn't afford to show fear or pain. She was pinned up to the wall.

"You think you can steal from us?!"

The man who had her pinned asked. Nia growled and kicked him in the groin, making him groan in pain. She punched him in the face, and he stepped back, holding his nose. Nia fell to the ground, her ebony hair clinging and hiding her face from the sweat of running. She stood up suddenly, alerted by the men. She charged the man who held her against the wall, punching him in the gut repeatedly until he fell to the ground chocking. One of the other men came up to her trying to grab her, but Nia ducked, landed on her back, and kicked his knee hard. She heard a sickening 'crunch'. He yelled in agony, dropping to one knee.

'Big mistake asshole.'

Nia thought as she stepped forward and snapped his neck. The third man stood there in shock, but then he shook his head and step forward, bringing fists to his face.

"Look here you little brat, you really think you ca-"

He never got to finish his ranted as he felt a slim metal object slit his throat. He feel to the ground, chocking on his blood. Nia turned on the man who had her pinned. She narrowed her eyes, picking up her small knife and walked over to him. She kicked him again and again in the ribs. Nia then dragged his head upwards by his hair, cruelly ironic to how he held her. Nia didn't even think about it as she stabbed him in areas where she knew would cause pain, but not kill.

"P-please…have me-mercy…"

He cried out, trails of tears coming down his bloodied and bruised face.

"Fine, then."

With that, Nia snapped his neck.

Nia bought some bread from the baker's cart with money she got off the group of men. She continued her run home. Nia came to an abandoned building.

"Dad? I'm uh…I'm home…yeah."

Nia said a little nervously. The young assassin was never one to be intimidated, but her father had trained her and she knew that he could and would kill her in three seconds flat. She set the bread in a basket on the wood floor. Nia stood there for about thirty seconds before she decided to leave.

"Leaving so soon?"

A voice asked. Nia whipped herself around, clearing all emotions from her face. One of the many rules taught to her was 'show no emotion, show no mercy'. A man emerged from a shadowy corner of the room. A very tall and slim man who appeared to be well-built. He had short, coarse-looking dark hair that reached to his neck and also had a thin beard along his jawline. He had the appearance of a middle-aged man with wrinkles around his gray eyes, which were small and piercing.

"H-hey dad."

Nia said, giving a little wave with her grimy hand.

"Let's get this over with,"

Her father said with a sigh.

"Where did you go?"

The little girl gestured to the basket of bread. Kenny grunted, and sat down where he was standing. Nia took the silent command and sat as well.

"Three loafs of bread doesn't excuse your absence of almost two hours."

Nia's father continued. She sighed and explained what happened with the men who had caught her and how she dealt with them. Nia couldn't help but look at the ground when she saw her father give a sadistic smile when she told him the end results. The child was not sure if she should feel proud of herself or rather to feel…sick with herself. She was curious though, whenever she fought, Nia got this felling in the pit of her stomach. It didn't feel bad, but that felling would surge through her and push her strength and power to their limits. She had asked her father about it, but he only said,

"It comes with the name."

Nia wanted to ask more, yet she didn't. Kenny stood up, bringing Nia's attention out of her thoughts.

"We're heading up."

The girl looked up at the man and asked with excitement,

"Really…? Like, 'legit-above-ground-where-the-Capitol-is' up?"

Kenny only smirked and chuckled at her.

"It's not the Capital, but yes, we are going above ground."

He said, grabbing his bag and coat. Nia soon followed.

"Why, specifically, are we going?"

She asked. They were already heading through the tunnels that lead to the top.

"To visit family."

Kenny explained. Nia nodded, she never met the rest of her family and she never knew her own, except for her father. Her mother died giving birth to Nia, and her older sister, Tyla, was killed by others. Not to mention, she was never good at socializing. Nia never felt the need to do so, it wasn't like she had friends anyway. Those who did approach her, Nia immediately pushed away. She knew what the other kids said about her too…how she was cold and scary. Honestly, in her own words, Nia didn't give a fuck. She did what she was trained and raised to do.

As they neared the surface, the small girl couldn't help but smile at the opportunity to go above ground.

"Finally,"

Nia thought,

"I get to know what's actually up there."
