Chapter 1
Serena woke with a start; hands gripping her now sweat drenched tank top. Gasping for air she threw back the musty covers of the cheap motel bed and made her way to the small bathroom. Flicking the light on she turned the faucet on and proceeded to wash her face. "Just calm down; you're fine. Just take in deep breathes and relax…" she told herself. It was the same nightmare every time. She was a child and with her family laughing and enjoying herself, when all of the sudden the lights went out. Gunfire rang and she could hear her mother and father screaming. As the screaming seized the lights came back on, and both her mother and father were on the floor dead, shot multiple times. Every time just before the lights went out she could always see a strange man in the window pressing a finger to his lips, and every time she had always tried to warn her parents, but she was never able to point it out before it was too late. Staring into the mirror she looked at herself. She had a tanned face with long black hair and green eyes, a big change from her previous appearance of blue eyes and blonde hair. She had finally stopped changing her look; she had stopped hiding. No more wigs, dyes and contacts. No more…no more.
With the death of her parents she had grown up in different foster homes never staying long enough to get comfortable. There was this one foster home though that she had almost stayed. His name was Thomas Sullivan, and he was married to a wonderful woman named Doris. He had trained her, from self-defense all the way up to using anything and everything that could cause another person harm. He was an ex-marine and his patience and caring almost got Serena to stay, and she did for almost two years. At age 18 she packed up her few belongings and left. Ever since then she had been stealing, killing, and running. It's not that she killed for sport, but if you got in her face there was going to be hell to pay. That's when the different disguises came in handy, who would suspect her a short- haired blonde if they were looking for a red head?
Stepping out of the bathroom she walked towards her small duffel bag and changed into a white tank top, black cargo pants, and black boots. Glancing at the time it was 9 a.m., "Shit i'm going to be late!.." Grabbing her toiletries from the bathroom, she stuffed them into her duffel bag and with one small glance at the crappy hotel room she had spent in for the last 2 weeks she closed the door behind her and walked away.
