Trespassing

Great! Just great. I stared at my reflection in the mirror with growing exasperation.

I looked exactly like a robber clad in sinister black clothes from a crime movie I watched a long time ago.

It was the third time I checked my reflection on the full length mirror but I couldn't get enough. I wonder if this was only a dream. If it is…. I want to wake up from this nightmare right now before all hell breaks loose.

My pulse jittered, beads of sweet formed on my temples, and my palms turned to ice as I stared at myself. I did not sign up for this fate. But there's no other option but to continue. 

I couldn't turn back when things were just about to start.

There's no escaping tonight, my fate has been sealed. This is a do or die situation. I must do this for Ace. And whatever happens, I must at least do my best to escape alive.
