Amnesia (TYL) 3
My mission was simple. Assassinate the nuisance D'Lazzaro famaglia that were in overwhelming debt to the Varia and our boss had no patience for so called "scum". I equipped myself with communication gadgets and a few pistols. But my main weapons are crescent hard steel blades with curved hilts. I sheathed the weapons and placed them upon my back. I was walking out the front entrance of the manor when that annoying voice yelled at me,
"OOI! I'm going with you!" I faced Squalo; he was holding a gladiator type sword,
"I prefer solo missions". He smirked,
"You're still a newbie, and all newbie's must be accompanied by their elders for a temporary amount of time". I frowned, I hated that I needed to be watched. But I obeyed the rule and let Squalo lead the way to the D'Lazzaro mansion.
I held no emotion as I mercilessly slashed the D'Lazzaro boss across his throat. He fell to the ground blood erupting from his throat and mouth, seconds later he was dead. I squatted next to the corpse and ripped off a piece of jacket. I used the fabric to clean the blood off my crescent blades, and then sheathed them. I walked through the D'Lazzaro mansion, passing uncountable dead bodies. This mission was indeed simple, the rumors that they were supposedly strong was utterly false. Before I walked out the front door I heard a faint cry, it sounded like it belonged to a child. I turned around and proceeded toward the agonizing cries. Soon I found the small child kneeling next to a woman.
"Mommy wake up, wake up" he cried, he did not notice my presence and that made it all the easier to end his life. When it comes to killing I become a whole other person. I succumb to the inner demon in me and completed this massacre flawlessly and held no regret for ending the D'Lazzaro's worthless lives. I left the mansion, but not before pouring gasoline all over the floors in each room; if I hadn't heard that child's cry I would've forgotten about sending this place up in blaze. Squalo waited patiently outside of the entrance as I trailed the fluid to the front door, lit a match on fire, and dropped the flame. I walked away from the home as the fire engulfed it and the corpses inside with hunger.
Squalo and I were two meters from the home, when my head suddenly began to hurt. I wanted to ignore it, but the pain rose to the point that I had to kneel on the ground and hold my head.
"Oi, what's the matter?" Squalo said, I screamed as my head felt like it was splitting into half. I screamed as my eyes watched a woman lying on a white tile floor, bleeding heavily. I felt tears run down my cheeks as I looked at my hands. They were soaked in blood. 'What is this?' I questioned, 'who is this woman?' I heard a desperate voice, it was shouting, "Saiya! Naila! Where are you?" it belonged to a man. The memory ended there, and my head stopped hurting. I was on the ground on all fours, gasping for breath. I could hear Squalo's voice yelling out to me; I fell completely to the ground and fainted.
A sudden shout caused me to awaken from my unconscious state,
"I'm sorry that Bel-sempai is such a bastard!" I heard Flan yell,
"You damn frog!" there was a crash sound. Then a painful cry and Belphegor's sadistic laugh. I sat up in my bed, clutching my chest. I knew that vision I had at the D'Lazzaro's mansion was a memory of my past; yet, I couldn't wrap my finger around who that bleeding woman was, or the desperate shouting man. I touched my cheeks and to my surprise they were freshly wet.
"Beg for forgiveness!" Belphegor snarled,
"Shut the fuck up brats Xanxus is sleeping!" Squalo shouted. I rolled my eyes at that. My room door opened and the white haired man strolled in like this was his domain.
"You could at least knock," I said as he sat on my bed.
"Are you feeling better?" Squalo said, yet there wasn't a hint of concern in his expression, but I disregarded that.
"That never happened before…"
"Everyone gets migraines, your chances are higher cause you work here," he said,
"…Possibly…" it was more than just a migraine, but Squalo does not need to know; I don't want to worry anyone. I looked towards the arch windows. The curtains were pulled back revealing a mourning sky. I thought of that image of Xanxus sleeping, but for some reason it didn't appear the same. He was no longer lying on his bed, but in a field of black roses, each dripping crimson liquid. Xanxus scars had reopened and the blood flowing from them dirtied the roses further. I bent over him, looking upon his lifeless body cheerlessly. I crawled on top of him and placed my head on his chest; his heart was not beating…
"Hey!" I woke from the daydream and stared at Squalo.
"Sorry",
"Don't let this affect your performance Peano, even if it means seeing a damn therapist" he declared, I nodded in compliance. With that said Squalo stood,
He left the room without saying anything back and I had forgot to thank him for carrying me all the way from the D'Lazzaro mansion to my room; at least that's what I think he did. I stared out the window again, just in time, to watch a strong gust of wind make trees bow to the point that they should've snapped. I clutched my chest for there was this odd feeling in my heart; I had this sudden urge for vengeance.
