Is it Love?

Chapter 5:

I ran. I ran away from them, from him. They were chasing me again. They wanted me dead because they knew I saw them. I ran to the forest. I ran as quickly as my feet could manage. I could fight them, after all I had the skill but I was too weak. They already shot me, hitting my left arm. I was losing blood.

I tripped on the tree root that was sticking out and fell straight on my head. I tried to get up. I tried walk again but I couldn't. I was too weak and out of breath. I felt dizzy. Blackness hit my eyes causing me to fall down. I heard them closing in on me.

'We need to kill her.' One of them said.

'Then shoot her damn it!' he said.

One of his followers took his gun out, pointed it at me 'Bye bitch.' He said. He pressed the trigger and shot me.

I woke up screaming from my nightmare. I was breathing hard. I put my hands on my face, feeling tears coming out of my eyes. I knew it was a dream I knew I shouldn't be afraid but I also knew that they were still after me. Somehow they found out I was alive. I couldn't stop the fear. I placed my fingers just above my heart feeling the scar of the gunshot.

I sat up thinking that was no point in going to sleep at six in the morning. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep again even if I tried. I walked to the bathroom to take care of my morning business. I went to my sink to brush my teeth. While brushing them I saw a shadow outside my bathroom window.

I dropped everything I was doing. I ran to my bag got my gun and went to the balcony that was on my left hand side of the room. I opened it quietly. I stepped out with the gun in front of my. I looked left and then right finding no one. Suddenly an arm wrapped around my neck pressing my neck to his back causing me to stop breathing. I dropped my gun on the ground.

With my elbow I hit him hard to his stomach causing him to loosen his grip. I took one of his hands and twisted it around. I kicked the back of his knee and he fell. I took my gun and pointed to his head.

'Who are you and who sent you?' I asked. He stayed quiet. I shot to the ground to show him I meant business.

'No one I have no idea what you're talking about.' He answered. He was an assassin. I could smell them from miles away. I knew he was after me. He was one of the followers from that night. I pressed the gun to his head and without a blink I pressed the trigger and shot him.

The gun shot was loud. The guards that were near quickly came running to where I was.

'What happened?' the skinny one asked. I looked at them. My expression blank.

'Assassination.' I answered. They looked stunned. They didn't expect me to kill him like it was nothing, I am only sixteen. They looked at each other and then talked to their walkie-talkie and requested for help.

I walked away, while all sorts of people came to my balcony. I walked to my wardrobe and took my black skinny jeans, black tank top, white blazer and my black high-heeled convers. After every killing I make. I always felt down. I expressed my sadness through my clothes. I went to my bathroom. I went straight for the mirror. I saw blood drops on my face. My blue eyes were dead. I turned the water on and washed my face again.

I dried my face and turned to my clothes. Slowly I put them on. I looked at the wrist watch I always have on my wrist. It said it was seven already. I smiled. I knew the school was open and I needed to look around to know every corner so I would know where Zac spends his time. I picked up my hairbrush and started to brush my hair. After a while I stopped and came out of the bathroom.

Strangers looked at me and started to clap. One of them said, 'You know you just killed one of the most wanted assassins?' I looked at him, smiled my tight smile and left them with a wave. I walked downstairs to see more people there looking for bug or any bombs. I opened the main door and steeped out. I looked to my right where the main house stood behind the trees. It looked amazing from where I was standing. So grand and rich. I shook my head and went to the opposite direction, where my new jeep stood waiting for me to use it.

Zac POV:

I woke up with two gunshots. I sat up scared. Was someone after me again? I don't have a bodyguard yet! After the attempted murder by the gangsters, I felt like shit. I felt useless and scared. I felt stupid that I couldn't help myself and needed someone to protect me.

I got up from my bed. I ran to my wardrobe and quickly put my shoes on. I ran downstairs to the main hall. I turned left and ran to the back of the house. I quickly reached the back garden. I opened the back door and ran to the lake house that was newly built for some reason. That's where I heard the shots. That lace had all the answers I needed to know what happened.

I ran through the little forest. I stopped when I saw the main door open. I quickly ducked under the rose bush that was to my left. From the side of the bush I peeked to see what was happening. That's when I saw the new girl from the school. What the hell is she doing here? She looked at the mansion. She looked like she was thinking about something.

Suddenly she shook her head and went the opposite why where the new bought Jeep was standing. Hey I thought that was for me! She opened the car doors. She started the car and drove away. Once I knew I was save I stood up. I walked to the lake house. I opened the main door and saw a bunch of strange people looking for something.

I climbed upstairs where all the people seem to going in and coming out from. I went to the master bedroom. People seem to be talking about someone. They didn't notice me at all. I walked behind one of my guards that were on the nightshift.

'I don't know how she did it.' The skinny one said.

'I mean she seemed so normal afterwards like this was just another day.' The older one agreed.

'Well at least the assassin didn't get to the main house.' The skinny one said again. The older one looked thoughtful for a second and said

'I don't think the assassin was after the senator or his family. I mean if he was he would be coming to the lake house right. I think the assassin was after her.' He said to the skinny one.

'What assassin?' I asked. The two guards jumped. They both turned around. The older one smiled and answered.

'There was an assassin in this lake house.'

'Was?' I asked.

'Yeah,' the skinny one said. 'He was shot just ten minutes ago.' I looked behind the two men to see a body lay on the balcony in its own blood. For some reason I couldn't take my eyes off. One of the guards brought me to my attention.

'Young Master you shouldn't be here. Don't you have school?' the old one asked.

'Fuck!' I screamed running back to the main house. This is going to a long day!
