Despair

Before I come to this school, I was an assassin. It's not because I have a hobby of killing people nor I want a lot of money so I decided to become an assassin. Previously I was an innocent kid who live with his parents like normal. But one day,my normal life changed. I still remember that day very clearly.

Back when I was 6 years old, I live with my parents in Indonesia. We always move from different countries every time my father called to do his job. I still too young to remember, how many countries had we moved before.

My father's name was David Anderson and my mother's name was Claudia Anderson. My father has a strange job, which make him rarely at home. Luckily my mother always stays and play with me when my father wasn't here. My hobby is reading books. At the age of 6 years old, I have read a lot of books and I can memorize it perfectly. Reading books has slightly changed my ways of thinking. I become more rational and a bit mature even I was 6 years old. When my mother notices my change, she doesn't hate me, she even praises me as a genius.

Even my father rarely at home, he would spend his time with his family if he comes home. When he has day-off, he took us to play at Park, Beach and many recreation spots.He would buy anything that I want. My family is quite rich so we can spend a lot of money.

But sometimes, my father got injured during his works and even hospitalized. I was curious about my Father's job. But my parents never told me. Since they never told me, I decided to behave like a good child and won't ask any further.

When I was 6 years old, I've attended kindergarten. Usually, I play with a lot of children of the same age and learn how to read and write.

My memories when I was 6 years old is a bit hazy, so I think that all about my past life when I was with my parents.

And that day come like a disaster to my life. Everything is the same as usual at first. My mom still escorting me to Kindergarten and my Father promised to bring me to Aquarium this day because today he was on his day-off.

But in the afternoon, my mom never comes to pick me up, instead, there was a stranger who comes to pick me up.

"Are you Chris Anderson, son of David Anderson?"

"Yeah."

"I come here to pick you up."

"Why not my mom?"

"Because she couldn't do it."

At that time, I still don't have a speck of bad feelings about my parents. I received that stranger help to escort me.I'm not afraid of becoming an abduction victim, because I told my teacher when I picked up by that man before I go.

Outside the car, the rains began to fall. From morning, the sky already cloudy so I think it was normal. In the car, we don't do any conversation.

The awkward atmosphere surrounding us.

But I noticed, this man drives me properly to my house. I remember the way to my home. But something different today. There are a lot of people near my house. There are some policemen too.

What happens?

When I come out of the car, I come closer to one policeman and ask him.

"What happens in my house, Uncle?"

"You are the son of David Anderson and Claudia Anderson?"

"Yeah."

He showed a complicated face before told me a bitter truth.

"Your parents were murdered. We came here to do investigations."

When I hear that, my mind becomes blank.

"I know it hard for you, but calm yourself."

I couldn't control my trembling body and cry uncontrollably.

What about their promise to bring me to play to Aquarium today?

Who would take care of me from now?

How was this happen?

Why was this happen to me?

The policeman hugged me to calm me down, but I don't feel better.

My mind already in chaos.

I standing in the rain and facing the sky.

Why did this happen to me?

The stranger who comes to pick me before come and offering an umbrella to me. He talked with the policeman and the policeman went and left us. The stranger then speaks to me.

"I was your father comrade. You may never know, what was your father's job isn't it?"

I don't listen to him at all.

"Your father was a member of the Secret Intelligent Organization, so he needs to hide everything from you."

I was still silent.

"Your parents were murdered, don't you want to take revenge for the murderer?"

He told me such a crazy thing.

Before I take revenge for my parents, I still need to survive.

But right now, who will take my parent's role to raise me?

"I will help you to get your revenge. I will raise you so you will capable to fight with the murderer. With my help, I can find the murderer's identity and I will take care of everything so rest assured."

His voice was sweet like devil temptation.

That time, his speech was very convincing.

If I agree with him, I can survive longer because he will take care of my needs.

Besides, he even can help me to find the murderer and get my revenge.

I accept his offer and become a Devil itself.

I accept his offer because my parents' relative is very far away. Because we always moved from one country to another, It makes our relatives difficult to help my situation as fast as possible. Even if somehow they accept me, I believe it will become very awkward. My parents barely make contact with their relatives because of my father's job (my guess), so I doubt their relationship would become very smooth.

But If I follow this man, my problem can be solved instantly. From food, place to stay and even training to help me to get revenge for my parents.

That day, the innocent Chris Anderson disappear.

But he wouldn't know, that the murderer he looking for, was always in front of him.
