Chapter 2
(Silence after the Sound)
No more sound was heard after that shot, not for a few moments at least. Wufei's heart was still racing, and he could not contain his breath it seemed. He gained the courage to continue walking, ever slightly, into the kitchen to see whom the intruder was. When he reached a point to where the perpetrator could be seen, he beheld a sunken form, crumpled on the ground.
Wufei recognized the body immediately, as a regular messenger from his employer. 'Too bad. Now I'll have to explain this to him. It's not going to be good.'
Wufei dragged the body outside and burned it. 'No evidence; I can't be known at all around here if I want to keep a low profile.'
Wufei walked back into the kitchen and found a note laying on the floor. He picked it up and began to read:
Molly has obviously a few select places she chooses to stay around. For a teenager, she's pretty normal, which should make your job much easier. She usually hangs around at the arcade, and with a girl named Serena Tsukino. Your task is to find somewhere where she can be easily assassinated, most preferably a place where she is alone. Get it done in two weeks, or you'll have to forfeit your life for hers.
'Great. This is going to be like taking candy from a baby. High school girls are way to predictable.' Wufei then went into his bedroom and climbed into his bed. His thoughts were not swirling with Molly, because he knew it was going to be easy. He just tried to relax and enjoy his sleep…at least, when he finally fell asleep.
Distant shadows fell across the face of a young girl. A face, Rei couldn't make out. She then heard a sound resonate long and low, and could not see where it was coming from. The girl, devoured in shadow, fell to the ground and was no more.
A scream sounded, and then faded.
Rei awoke with an eerie feeling in her chest, and a cold sweat on her face. Her dreams as of late, had not been all that she had wanted. 'A nice meditation might do me some good.'
She walked into her kitchen to make breakfast, noticing the cloudy day outside the window over the sink. No doubt her grandfather would be out there, trying to make sure that the shrine's prayer bells were protected against the oncoming rain. She wasn't really hungry, her thoughts from her dream had been so exhausting, but she did manage to drink down some hot tea.
She put her cup in the sink and wasted no time heading for the fire room. These days, she spent most of her time in here. The dream had been bothering her, a nuisance from day one, and she couldn't seem to shake the feeling of it's ominous presence within her mind.
Rei sat there, meditating for quite some time, trying to get any answers that she could from the fire. She could feel herself drifting farther from reality and slipping into the trance that she so desired in order to make her dream become clear. It was then that an immense explosion occurred and the same scream, sounded.
