The black death short story: death is life

I stood high in a tree looking down at the man who killed my father with hate and disgust 'I finally found you 'I thought to myself. 'you're the one who cursed me' I muttered to myself.

I jumped down from the branch I had been kneeling on and landed near one of his guards. I plunged one of my knives into the first guard and swiftly ran to the next one like a blur. I looked up through my hood at the evil and twisted man; he looked at me through a pile of guards, confused but intrigued.

I slashed the next guards throat and moved on to the next guard and sliced again cutting them all down, but before I could react a shadow whipped out and knocked my hood down. My hair spilled out of my hood, down past my waist in its twin ponytails. I looked up at the necromancer with blazing hate in my eyes. He was smiling at me now, this only infuriated me more.

'it's you' he spoke with amusement in his voice. I gritted my teeth as he continued to speak 'I knew you would come after me, I didn't think so soon' I growled at him in response and sent a spike of shadows at him which he easily deflected with a laugh and a wave of his hand. The guards where quick but I was quicker. One of the guards ran at me pointing a gun straight at my chest and fired, i dodged using little effort, I jumped and grabbed my guns from my thigh holsters and clicked the safety off and pointed the twin FN 5-7s at the guards and let loose firing hundreds of bullets a minute. I watched smugly not letting my smugness show as the necromancer stared in shock. When I finished they were all dead and it was just me and him standing in front of each other. I took a few steps closer and pointed one of my guns at him. He just smiled and made no attempt to move, the next words he spoke shocked me 'you have become quite the little assassin my child' I snarled and clicked the safety off 'I am not your child' I muttered through gritted teeth. His smile just widened ' oh but you are ,you wouldn't have half the stamina you just showed me without my curse on you' he just kept smiling as he said this and touched the mark around my eye ' it is beautiful' he whispered. 'That's your opinion' I said blankly before lifting my arm up and firing my gun. In the blink of an eye he shadow walked behind me, he grabbed my arm and squeezed making me drop the gun to the ground. I closed my eyes and waited for him to kill me. I heard him chuckle behind me and opened my eyes. He leaned down and whispered in my ear 'not yet my child, you may wish me dead but I have better plans for you, I made it so you can't die' as he whispered the last word he shadow walked away. I fell to my knees in shock 'I can't die' I whispered softly.
