Sunset, as the last of the sunlight began to disappear, leaving only darkness behind and ruling the world at night fall. That night, the sky was covered with clouds, no moon or stars were seen, everything was hidden behind the night curtain.
Deep inside a forest, everything was dark, no sounds were made except for the animals walking onto the thick layer of dried leaves on the ground or the winds howling between the trees' branches. The night air was chilly and cooling. There, at the end of the forest, on a cliff, stood a mansion and at the front door, two men were walking with guns in there hands. They were patrolling for the night. What were they up to? No one knows. Will there be anyone who can stop whatever is the scheme? No. But maybe, one person can.
On a branch nearby, a shadow was standing on it, but no one even noticed that it was there. Not at all. The guards who were patrolling didn't know a thing, until... A small noise was made that caught their attention as they all stared at the way to the forest.
" What was that?" One of them asked worrily.
" It was probably some dumb animals." The other replied with a slight doubt in his voice.
" But..." Something suddenly appeared behind his back, it was holding a knife and like a flashed, a slash torn his throat and blood flowed out.
" I told you that..." The other guy turned around, but he didn't get a chance to finish what he was saying nor did he get a chance to yell out for help after seeing his friend lay lifelessly on the ground on a pool of his own blood. Because, he ended up with the same fate.
The door to the mansion creaked open and closed right away. The guards inside didn't even hear anything as they kept on chatting about some problems they had. That's good. Then it will be much easier, eliminating them all. The same shadow appeared, jumping down from the wall above, but this time with two sharp blades in both hands. Even the Moon is on my side tonight. Then in a flash of light, the blades swung and the two guards lay dead on the ground with their eyes opened and their faces were so calm. It was like they didn't even know what happened to them.
Must kill. Eliminating all of them. Those who stand in my way shall die. With that kind of thoughts in his mind, the assassin moved on in a high speed and killed each and every person that was in the way. His movements were flawless, not even a single mistake, everything was perfect. He was like a killing machine, a machine designed only to kill. And it was doing the job excellently. Blood shed, corps lay death of the floor soaked with the crimson, sticky liquid. The smell was sickening, but he didn't care. He kept on killing and opening all the door to all the rooms in the hall way, trying to find his real target for tonight. Those guards were just toys for him to play around and enjoy himself while searching for his pray, soaking himself in the blood of his victims. Or was he? The last guard fell and the last room in the mansion was in front of him... Where is my pray?
A man was hiding inside the dark room, he was trembling badly, all his men left after hearing some noise outside and they never came back. The man noticed that the disturbance that his men were making outside has stopped. He let out a sigh of relieve. Maybe his men has killed the assassin who was trying to get to him. He stood up, dusting his suit and fixing his tie. Suddenly, a chill breeze blew. ' Wait, I thought that I didn't open the windows.' He thought to himself, then it struck him. He started to tremble again, sweats formed and rolled down from his face as he slowly turned around to find that a gun was an inch away from his forehead. His eyes widened to stare at the one who was going to kill him. The eyes of the assassin were sharp, cold and have the color of amber.
" Please... I beg of your mercy, please don't kill me. Please..." The man pleaded, but no emotion appeared on the killer's face. He didn't care.
" My pray." He spoke in a low yet icy voice of his. " Prepare to... die." The trigger was pulled and a loud sound pierced the dark sky as the bullet hit the man's forehead, blood flowed out and the man died immediately, lying on the floor with his eyes widened, filling with fear and fright. Using his thump as he wiped away a drop of blood that touched his cheek as the murderer looked at his dead victim with the same expression on his face.
" Mission is over."

A/N: This is something I created when I didn't have any inspiration for " I'll never leave your side". But don't think that I'm gonna stop it for this one, okay? Well, anyway, how was the first chapter? Please review. Thanks! (^_^)
