Kill or Protect? chapter 1

by Duckluver

okay, so this is a story i have started writing and it might be more suitable for 'older people' just coz its a bit grim? is that the right word? dm, but yeah Kat, is an assassin and has to go on a mission with her friend Hale, they protect Shane, who is being targeted by someone, Kat doesnt normally protect. see how she handles looking after another life instead of destroying it.

11. Chapter 11

okay, so another short one. :)

I stand up swiftly and go to the kitchen, I take out a loaf of bread and the knife in my pocket. I slice off two large chunks of bread before putting them under the grill. I move to the fridge and take out a big piece of cheese, I cut off two more chunks off and put them on a plate. Next I take out the butter and prepare for the toast to be cooked.

Suddenly the kitchen door swings open but I don't look up because I know Hale will be standing there, probably angry. Then the grill males a beeping noise and I turn to get my toast, but Hale beats me to it. He takes them off of the grill and holds them behind his back. "tell me what." He says sharply. "no, give me the toast. I don't want your fingers getting burnt." I say and reach out behind his back. He jeks away and says " tell me." I narrow my eyes and go back to the bread board, I take out the loaf again and pick up my knife. Im about to cut down on the innocent bread but Hale comes up behind me and grabs both of my wrists.

I freeze and keep my head down, looking at the floor. "kat, please tell me what." Hale whispers into my ear. I say nothing and try to shake off Hale. He doesn't move away and I feel restricted in a way that I could never explain. "go away Hale, im trying to make something to eat." I carry on, completely ignoring his demand. He doesn't say anything for a while except rest his forhead on the back of mine, then he violently throws away my hands and walks out into the living room. I felt bad, but that was something for only me to know. I sighed and picked up the toast that Hale had put on my plate, I buttered it calmly and place the cheese cubes on top. I carry the plate through the living room and past the sulking Hale who was sitting by the fire again. I went upstairs to my room and heard faint snores from Shane's room. I went inside without turning the lights on and sat down on the sofa. I ate my toast in silence and once I had finished I went to the window.

I stood and staired out at the sea, how calm it was, how refreshing it would be to just lie on op of it, the waves washing over you like a blanket. How good it would be to go and join the fish in the sea. An urge shot through me and unconsciously, I stepped onto the windowsill and began opening the window. I heard my door creak open but I was to entranced in the one thought 'lets join the sea.' I stepped further to the open window and looked down at the beautiful sand lying in peace at the bottom. I raised my foot to take the last step, when I was suddenly grabbed from behind and pulled from my dream onto the floor, onto somebody.
