1 Coming Into Being
The club she was in was dimly lit and polluted with every kind of smoke which hung in the air like clouds. She herself was in the VIP floor, watching the crowds below as she take a drag from the weed she rolled.
It seems quite easy to just walk out of this place and run. But she knew better, since she had done it several times and she had suffered the consequences of her actions. There are scars to prove that she tried. Sure she can get out of this place easily, but outside is no better, it's all bloodbath out there if you are on the negative list.
"P'Nai!" a woman came and snatch the blunt then threw it away, "I told you to not smoke shit anymore. You'll die early."
"It's okay Kana." Nai says and smiles at the older women tiredly, "It's better that way."
Kana just sigh and drag her by her hand back to the room she came out of.
The room was lit brightly inside and a man in his fifties sat by the sofa with a glass of wine. His guards were behind him while a much younger man sat opposite to him on a chair.
"Sir, she's the one I was telling you about." Kana politely said and went kneeling near the man that seems to be the leader. Seeing, Nai followed and also kneels beside the older.
"She quite the beauty," the young man comments and the older man burst out laughing.
"Dan-kun, you can't take her. She's useful, didn't you heard Kana-chan?" the old man says with a chuckle and the young man shrugs his shoulder bored.
"May I ask what is the deal?" Nai ask curious yet politely, because disrespecting mafia leaders is not what she's looking forward to.
"The deal dear little bird," the old man says while offering his glass of wine to Nai, which she had to accept and drink up before pouring more wine and offering back the glass,
"-is me buying you from this miserable life to be a member of my little ring."
As soon as the old man said his words, a bullet came piercing through the air and hit straight on his left shoulder. The shooter might have aimed at his heart but since the old man suddenly lean down towards Nai, it hits his shoulder instead.
The guards in the back were both dead, Dan was on his phone calling back up and Kana was on the floor bleeding when Nai look back. Bullet wound on her neck, it seems it pierce through her to reach the old man.
Nai.... her mind when blank as her eyes searches the culprit. When she caught the man with a sniper she stood and run forward, right after the man who killed Kana.
It was all a blur for her and when she came back to her consciousness, she was on the alley strangling the sniper around his chest and punching his face even when the face was unrecognisable at this point, her own knuckles thorn and bleeding.
That's how Dan found her that night after following her out of the club, leaving his father with the back up.
They took her with them and gave her a place to call her own.
Gave her everything she wants.
But just in exchange of her loyalty.
