Chapter-5

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.

E-9813s P.O.V.

I groaned and dropped the wood logs on the ground and dropped next to them, my hands ached from the heavy weight I was carrying, I sat clumsily in the ground, leaning on my hands, with my legs outstretched in front of me, I welcomed the sweet relief filling my system, and I stretched my legs to further relax the ache in my legs, I tilted my face to the sky and watched the beautiful pink evening sky in front of me, the weather was perfect and well it was the only thing that was perfect, after all, I chuckled at my own thought process, my life right now was basically, a mess, starting from my amnesia, to the girl, who was sitting inside our warehouse as she liked to call it, to the baby that she cradled in her arms, to the sniper that I had the urge to keep close, not just an urge a need, I knew, in this stupid world, where zombies lived, I couldnt possibly use my sniper, or I might as well attract zombies and get eaten, I knew blades were my best shot, and I was awesome with them, I eyed my sniper, which gave an illusion of relaxing, as it leaned on the grey wall of the warehouse, or more specifically I eyed the faded barbie sticker and sighed. The sticker oddly made me feel good.

I have honestly no idea if I should believe a total strangers word but it wasnt like I recognised anyone, or will recognize anywhere, I sighed and buried my face in my hands and rubbed it harshly, it was frustrating, I felt some sort of assurance as the daggers behind my back digging in my waist, I recalled the words that girl, who was apparently called Cadence said.

"So you are saying that I am not a normal human being, but someone with some extraordinary powers and not to forget, a big ass healing power, just the way you saw in vampire diaries?"

"Yes!"

"And that I am the deadliest assassin, known in the world?"

"Yes!"

"And that you are my second in command, and also that I have split personality disorder, and that I was kidnapped along with Mr. Delarosa, or whoever the fuck he is, but he is nowhere to be found but here am I?"

"Yes!"

I stared incredulously at the girl in front of me, and watched as she picked up the baby in her arms, and handed it to the in her to the boy next to her.

Wait. How do I know its a her?!

"Do you know that I am sure with the fact that I am no more than eighteen right? And you want me to believe I did all this?"

She stood up and shook her head violently before raising her hands as soon as my hand caressed the daggers in my back, I watched as she moved forward towards the table with computers, and I watched as she switched on one of the computer, on and started typing on her laptop, I looked back towards the boy and watched as he looked at me with shock, but no suspicion, when he caught my eyes he gave me a weak smile and turned back to the baby, who was groaning in discomfort, I dont know why but watching the boy coo and shush the baby made me smile.

"You are 16 Red, this might not be sufficient but I guess after watching this you might believe me."

I scoffed at her words, oddly my mind was giving me a big ass clean chit on believing her, but it was as if a part of my brain told me that me being ruled solely by my mind was not a normal thing, I mean, was it? Does this happen with everyone? Their mind telling them that they need to eat, drink water, trust this person? I have no fucking idea.

"Look"

I heard the girl say making me walk towards her, she motioned me towards the computer, I eyed her suspiciously as I dropped my bag next to the computer, she gave me a sardonic smile when she noticed my gaze.

"Its like we are 12 again."

I didnt say anything and leaned on my hands and eyed the screen, I was shocked when I saw myself on the screen, tied to an X on the wall, I looked fearful, as I kept eyeing the door, my whole body was bruised up, a black eye being the most prominent on my face, I saw Cadence in front of me, to my right, she had her head hanging low, she was crying, next to her was a girl, sitting with her legs crossed, she looked really familiar, I watched two men were sitting on the floor together, seeing them made my stomach churn in a way I couldnt fathom, the leaner one with blonde hair looked confused and pissed, the one next to him was expressionless, as if he was a statue.

I watched as I started crying, but then closed my eyes, almost as if I was meditating, and then my head lolled back downwards as if I lost conciousness, I was honestly even more confused but the very next moment I watched as a women with waist length black hair came in, she sneered and said something, but my chest suddenly felt constricted when I watched the look of utmost disgust cross her face, then she landed a kick on my chest, I watched as my eyes fluttered open, it was as if I was a completely different person, I was as expressionless as a statue, but when my eyes focused on the women in front of me, a taunting smirk made its way on my face, everything about this other me was different, the arrogant posture, even though she was the most vulnerable out of everyone who were chained, to the relaxed murderous glint in her eyes, the arrogant crooked smirk, her calculating cold eyes, it was as if she knew she would win, everything about her oozed confidence, I watched as she talked to the women for sometime, I watched and saw the women turning livid, and suddenly she picked up the baseball bat she brought with her and landed a hard blow on her left hands wrist, that was tied to the wall, but the way her eyes glinted, even though she was wincing told me that she wanted, and anticipated this would happen, I could see my wrist bent in an unusual angle, and I was surprised that it still didnt hurt, actually by bone was popped, which meant I need a transplant for them to be back to normal.

But I watched myself chuckle maliciously, as I took out my hand easily from the cuff and then took it to my right hand, and then popped it back, just like that, I saw the women tremble as she was about to run, but before she could, I saw myself pick up the baseball bat up and hit her in the head with it in an inhumane speed, I watched as she clutched her head and fell back, I watched myself retrieving the keys from her pockets, and thats where the video ended, but before it could I watched as the man with black hair look up directly at the camera, and suddenly I heard loud ringing sound in my ears making me clutch my ears tightly, I hissed in pain at the loud ringing and squeezed my eyes shut, wanting to reduce the pain that I could practically feel coursing from my the back of my head to my temple, I felt a pair of arms lift me up and I was laid on a soft surface, I curled myself in a ball as suddenly vision of icy blue eyes appeared in front of my eyes, they were icy cold, but something in me yearned for them, but the pain made it almost impossible was for me to relax. But the next moment it was gone, I blinked open my eyes, my eyes connected with a concerned looking green ones.

"Red you okay?

"Yeah, I ughh sorry, I j-just, I dont whatever happened but yeah, thanks for helping me."

I said with an apologetic smile, and looked at both of them, the blondie behind her too, he gave me a small smile in return and nodded in acknowledgement.

"So ughh mind me asking whats my name?"

I said with an awkward chuckle making Cadence chuckle too and the blondie grinned.

"Well, lets see, the world called your assassin self Little Red Riding hood-"

"What?"

I said incredulously, making her laugh loudly, she then shrugged her shoulders and looked down in her lap.

"Yeah, like you used to conceal your identity and wear that red cloak, and you started all this when you were like really small, so yeah, you did look like little red riding hood, but by time, you adopted the name, but I used to call you red."

"You didnt knew my true name."

"No"

She answered hesitantly, I watched as she tucked a bang of her hair behind her ear and then gulped, my brain told me these were sign of anxiety or embarassment.

"Why? I mean I thought you said you were my second in command?"

I asked her gently she shook her head quickly and then gave me a sardonic smile.

"I think I should save this story for the next time."

At her words I frowned but nodded softly, because something told me she was at the verge of crying.

I have been here for almost a day and Since then no one has talked about all this, the blondie, who I now knew was Matt, was really awkward but he has been slowly opening up to me, he calls me Rosalyn, so I guessed thats my original name but Cadence continues to call me Red, but I dont mind.

I dont know from where they picked up the child, its not theirs since they vehemently denied the fact, and I didnt ask where they got her from but I love the child, and somehow she likes me the most out of us, Cadence keeps saying that it was obvious that she would like me the most but I dont understand why. The child insists on sleeping beside me, she always calms down when she is in my lap, but that is not what I like the most about her.

Its her eyes.

They are so familiar.

I sighed when I thought about it but suddenly the sound of a car approaching broke me out of my reverie, making me stand on alert, I quickly stood up from my place and felt blood rushing to my limbs, but I paid no attention to it and grabbed my sniper, I stealthily walked towards the front of the warehouse and hid behind a corner, I saw a wavy red haired boy, with pale white skin standing with his back to me, this scene was oddly familiar to me, but I paid no attention to my instincts and dropped the sniper on the ground stealthily, while eyeing the boy, who leaned on his elbows on the hood of his car, this area was pretty secluded with nothing but dried pine wood trees, which we generaly used for fire wood, it was in the backyard, it wasnt a backyard but you could call it one.

I watched as the boy leaned back up and stretched his hands above his head, his muscles moving from underneath his navy blue tshirt, which looked suprisingly clean, I eyed his unusualy clean black honda city, even his shoes were clean. I shook these thoughts away, and crept back behind him, he must have sensed my presence because he was about to turn around I caught him between my elbows, but mentally clucked my tongue when I observed our huge height difference, I was practically on my tippy toes, but I guess he had an upper hand in this position, because he quickly caught both of my arms, and flipped me to the ground, I hissed when I felt my head banging against the ground and groaned in agony as I felt pain flare up in my head.

I tried getting up, but I think I have got slight concussion, because I couldnt open my eyes, my brain commanded me to relx when I felt someone pick me up bridal style, seconds later I felt soft surface beneath me, I coul hear distant yell, making me shush the voices harshly.

I felt my brain command me to close my eyes firmly and not let any light enter, and I did just that, soon after that darkness engulfed me.
