Chapter 0: Prologue
Bang!
The sound of a gun firing echoed in the woods.
Bang! Bang!
More firing disturbed the usual morning tranquility.
"Don't let her get away!"
Men in penguin suits scattered around the woods, keeping their eyes peeled for their pursuit. A messy blonde lurked in the shadows of the canopy, watching her predators behind her long, dirtied fringe.
"Shoot! Where is she!?"
"I'm right here."
The man looked up to see legs clothed in tattered pants falling from above, tackling him square in the chest. He fell hard onto the grassy ground and just as his pistol flew from his hand, a heavy rock was swiftly slammed down to his throat. Carmine red spewed from his mouth and trickled down his neck. His systems began to spasm as he slowly fell into shock. The last thing he saw was a pair of cold, blue eyes before the rock slammed down again with greater force. He heard an ominous crack reverberate in his head, then everything went black.
The other men came running and stopped short upon seeing the girl slowly standing up, their comrade now dead at her feet with a rock embedded in his throat. They watched in horror as she faced them, stained with fresh blood that was not her own. Her stare, more chilling than the winter night, showed no remorse nor reluctance. She took a step forward and they raised their guns, aiming with unsteady hands. No one had a chance to pull their trigger because in a split moment, they were all down on the ground in the pool of their own blood.
