1 A Kiss And A Kill

The night is young, cold, grim and bloody. The ungodly bodies released the reek smell of their metallic dark red blood that were splattered around the moisten coal-black ground. Each of their faces described terror and fear. So pathetic. Bakit ba silang takot mamatay kung ang mismong gawain nila ay purong kademonyohan? Pag malapit na silang bawian ng buhay, ay doon lang nila pinagsisihan ang kanilang mga makasalanang kilos?

Napatingala ako sa itaas, mesmerizing the enigmatic view of the majestic ocean full of stars. The night may be bloody but if you look above, as if your worries are slowly drifting away.

Nagbuga ako ng hangin at napapikit ng saglit. I'm trying to stay calm and collected for for a moment. The cold wind kissed my delicate skin and blew my long black hair. The blood from the tip of my double-edged daggers made sound. It was such a long day. I opened my eyes and took a look around the lifeless bodies, where there were words which I etched at their chests that says "Sans Pitié", meaning "No Mercy".

I fished my phone out from the pocket of my black suit and checked the next target. Marahan akong tumawa nang makita ko ang information tungkol dito.

"A fucking cheater? Cool." Napabuntong-hininga ako habang nilakad lang ang patutunguhan. Hindi naman gaanong ka layo ang kanilang bahay.

He's not only a cheater, but also a murderer. Base sa information na ibinigay sa akin ni Jonah slash partner ko, ay niloko niya ang asawa niya at may ka-affair pa siya.

Nang makalapit na ako sa bahay, bigla akong napahinto saglit dahil sa narinig ko.

"F-Fucking hell man! Did you just...MY HAND! WHAT IN THE FUCKING HELL DID YOU DO TO MY—" The man cried as his left hand was sliced off. Poor guy, but the devil got to do his job.

I silently and quickly hid myself, then watched them. Nagkunot ang aking noo nang makilala ko ang biktima na yun. Oh, he's not a victim alright. That man was supposed to be my dead person, but now I'm just hiding around the bushes, watching The Scythe do his thing. Damn it!

"Your sinful life shall pay," The Scythe said as the poor man crawled backwards, and is trying to stop the excessive bleeding of his hand.

"FUCK! I'M SORRY I WONT DO IT AGAIN! I-I'LL GO TO THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND CONFESS EVERYTHING AND EVEN GO TO JAIL! PLEASE! JUST PLEASE DONT KILL ME!" The man bended his trembling knees and begged. Gosh, I hate these kind of scenes.

"You cheated on your wife, and killed her. People like you don't need to rot in that fucking jail,"

My phone rang and ducked my head immediately. I freaking forgot to turn this into silent mode!

Shoot!

"A-ANYONE THERE?! PLEASE! TULUNGAN MO AKO!—AHHH!!!" Narinig ko ang pag-hiwa ng laman at dugong patuloy sa pag-agos. Siguradong wala na ang kanyang maruruming kamay.

"They need to die instantly,"

I took the call, and heard a lot of gun shots from the line. What the hell is happening?!

"Jonah? Jonathan?!" Sigaw ko sa linya.

"Diane, wag ka munang bumalik dito sa basement,"

Shit! Wag mong sabihin!–

"Diane, they are looking for you," He whispered worriedly.

"Who are they?! And tell me what is going on Jonathan!" Hindi ko na mapigilang sumigaw sa linya. Bakit hindi nya na lang kasi sabihin ng diretso?!

"The Black Scythes,"

My eyes grew and my face turned pale, as a cold sharp metal touched against the crook of my neck.

"Diane, the leader with the black eyepatch is not with his group. Good thing the metal door is three inches thick, my head is still safe so don't worry,"

What the fuck?! So one-eyed is–

The person behind me took my phone gently away from my hand.

"Tell the Black Scythes that their leader found the chat noire, and caught her tail,"

He just called me a black cat! What the actual fuck?

"Who the fuck is this?! Where's Diane?!—Shit! Don't lay a finger on her eyepatch! or I'll fucking kill you!"

I guess I have no other choice.

"If you can—ARGH!" I squashed his right foot with my black Valentino three inches stilettos and escaped from his grasp. He groaned from the pain and madly cussed. I promptly stroke to where the cut was and felt the blood running down my neck, but the cut wasn't deep.

Heels really come in handy! Thank goodness I wore this today! May pa party pa kasi yung unang target ko, so I took that chance to kill him and his hideous looking goons.

I gathered all my strength and elbowed his forehead to make him feel fuzzy. I grabbed his arm, and ran as fast as I can while he's still unfocused. Oh boy, he's heavy and bulky as fudge!

The lake nearby is already inviting us to jump, and unluckily, he'll be drowning.

As soon as we jumped in the enigmatic dark lake, I switched, and held his hand tightly.

As I thought, the lake was inviting, it is warm and composed. The darkness didn't spread the entire lake, it's pretty pleasing since the moon's light shone right through the waters.

"BRLLRLRLLRLR!!!" He started screaming, and he's moving like a freaking dolt! Okay, shit what now?

The frantic man kept on moving with his eyes wide open. Now I get it, he doesn't know how to swim.

Gayon pa man, kailangan ko s'yang lunurin, so I need to do this killing method mine.

I cupped his cheeks, and his eyes enlarged from my sudden gesture. My lips touched his as I grabbed my dagger behind the back of my hair, and stabbed him right in his gut.

He slowly shut his eyes as bubbles came flowing up from his mouth.

I was slowly running out of air, so I started to swim. I flapped my feet, swayed my arms then reached for air. I panted as I lay my body down on the green grass.

I smirked victoriously.

"I won one-eyed, enjoy drowning,"

I guess, I got my first kiss from the dead one-eyed man, how exhilarating!
