'RINGGGGGG'

'BAMMMMMM'

Again I broke the alarm, great now I have to get a new one. my life has been nothing but a nightmare. my parents don't give a fuck about me and my sister who I considered a friend is a bitch. cool right!

anyways I have been staring at the ceiling for god knows how long, I need to get ready. in 17 years of my life, I never got a day off always my dad would send me on missions or to their dirty work. yes, my dad is a retired assassin and my worst nightmare.

I did my business in the restroom, now I am gonna take a quick shower. I never got the luxury that my younger sister got. going to school, partying with friends, luxurious rooms, things, and all... I never understood what was my mistake. but now I know the only reason is that they didn't consider me as one of them.

the way the cold water goes down from my body, releasing all that days of my nightmare. after a quick shower, I got dressed in some casual. black sweatshirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers.

today I have a day off. I never got a day for myself for god knows how long. I went down to the kitchen. all were sitting at the dining table doing breakfast. As soon as I entered the kitchen my dad stopped talking. I ignored them and went to the fridge to get a water bottle.

I don't know why but, today everyone was acting weird. I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, something bad was gonna happen today. I took my water bottle and was exiting the room and at the same time, my dad spoke ''you have a day off today do whatever the fuck you want to do. don't come back till 7. understood.''

I nodded and was going out, At the same time Dad pulled my hair and dragged me in and I got a hard slap on my face. ''bitch! how many times do I need to tell you to answer in words and don't exist in this room till I permit you.''

I was lying on the floor and my sister was laughing at me. bitch! my mother was eating nonchalantly like nothing was going on. ''yes, Dad.''

''get out, whore.''

I got up and got out of the house. even if I was an assassin and a fighter, I never dared to stand for myself against my dad. he had broken me so much that I had lost hope of escaping from him. Even if I escaped my dad's men would catch me and bring me home. Ohh!! not home the hell!!!!!!!!

but today was my day I took the keys to my bike and sped out. I never got to explore the city I lived in. I was always sent on missions to different places. so why not explore the city? Nobody knew my Identity, so I had nothing to worry about. My dad never took me with them to parties, balls, or dinners. it was like they only had one daughter.

As I was going I found a small cafe. my stomach was growling for food. parking my bike, I went into the cafe. the immediate smell of coffee hit me like a strong wave. a middle age woman. she must be Italian from her appearance, greeted me with a warm smile. ''what can I get you, Tesoro?''

''Can I get a coffee and a Biscotti Regina.''

''yes, my dear.''

I took a seat at the back of the cafe near a window waiting for my order to come. staring outside the window, caught a glimpse of a small family which was sitting outside the opposite cafe. the man who I assume was the little girl's father was feeding her the cake and the mother was with a small boy beside her, sitting across them. sometimes I thought about what a normal life would be like. enjoying Christmas with my family and having a family that loved me.

I was pulled out of my trance by the woman who took my order. she places my order on the table. said ''enjoy my dear'' and went away. taking a sip of my coffee my eyes went to that family and suddenly a woman sitting on the table across from me was lying on the floor with blood pooling down her head. there was a firing going on outside of the cafe taking my gun out I fired two bullets straight through the men dressed in suits who were hiding behind the wall sideways.

Getting a clear shot of the man, I fired the bullet and it went straight through his chest. firing more bullets I took down more men. ''она внутри кафе''(she is inside the cafe) ''убери эту суку''(get that bitch out)

I got out of the hiding position and fired straight at them, taking six down. I took out my blades and slit one's throat and jammed the blade into one's chest. two down two to go. charging at the one who was running out I put the blade in his neck from the back and in the middle of the other.

crouching down to one of them I put the blade in his shoulder careful not to kill him.''кто послал тебя''(who sent you) this fucker will not answer simply. forcing the blade into his shoulder, I asked him again''кто послал тебя.'' Forcing the blade, he cried in agony.

''ppp..российский лидер''(Russian leader)

when he said those words something was inserted into the back of my neck and everything went black......
