A Night of a Hunt
Night befalls the great city of Paris, its nightly lights illuminate the empty streets which in turn cast an eerie glow. Some businesses are still open and a few people walking around. The streets are yet again barren from activity, as the silent nightly wind gently blows. But unlike other peaceful nights, this night is completely different. As the wind gently blows through, the silence is suddenly interrupted with a woosh of wind as a few blurred objects whizzes through from roof to roof. Each time they land on another roof, the land with no sound as if they simply floated down.
The figures then stopped on a roof as one then stood up and stared at the city. The figure was wearing black tactical gear which seemed to block out any light from shining upon it, it had a black jacket with the hood covering his face. The nightly breeze returned yet again lightly ruffling the jacket. It then removed the hood revealing the Hawk. He stared at the city with a sombered and longed to look, he missed the city. Even if he despised the filth among its roots, the swine violating its glory, it is still his "home". A figure from behind then approached him while placing his hand on Hawk's shoulder to get his attention.
"Sir, shall we proceed?" The man was wearing the same stealth gear as Hawk, Hawk just gave him a small nod of approval as the man then signals the rest to keep moving, they then continued to travel amongst the rooftops, Hawk then took out a mask and put it on, the mask was a mask of a hawk, with its eyes emanating purple light, he then put on his hood and follow the boys.
The small group kept leaping from roof to roof silently until they landed on a house and faced a mansion. Hawk then turned to the group, there were 4 people in the group. One was a boy in his teens, he had blond hair and a small build, but his flexibility and agility compensated for the lack of muscle. His mask was a tattoo decorated mask of a snake. Another one was another man in his early twenties and unlike the teen, he had some muscles and stood around 5'10. He had a mask of a boar that had feathers decorated it. Another one is a female who stood at 6 feet, she had her brown hair in a ponytail, just like the male teen, she was extremely flexible and exhibited speeds and reaction times far beyond from an average human and she wore a wood-carved fox mask that had glowing blue eyes. And lastly was a female teenager she was a fair young teenager with curly brown hair, but despite her age, her eyes showed the eyes of an experienced soldier. Hawk approached her while she stared at him. He then moved a bit of her hair away from her mask, her mask unlike the other members was an Oni mask. The mask highlighted her glaring eyes as she lightly smacked Hawk's hand away from her.
Hawk then walked away from her and faced the whole group. "Here we are, I hope that none of you have gone rusty and disappoint me. As always, you can all do as you like to the people of the house, but the boss is mine, am I clear?" The group nodded as Hawk smiled under his mask. "Now, the hunt begins."
As Hawk said this the group jumped down into the house, the snake mask teen quietly snuck behind the two guards in front of the gate. He first stood behind the one nearest to him and took a knife and plunged it to the side of his throat while covering his mouth to muffle his struggle. The other guard was in the guardhouse brandishing his gun, he thought he heard something and decided to exit and find his partner but the moment he walked out of the door, the snake-masked teen then chopped his neck which knocked the guard unconscious and dragged his body into the hedges near the wall and took out the knife and plunged it deep in the guard's heart and afterward he twisted it making sure he is dead. The teen then stood up while looking at the night sky, his eyes closed as he reflected on what he has done.
He then gave a huge sigh of tiredness, the teen then entered the guardhouse and took out a small box-shaped device from a small bag in his black belt, and placed it on top of the monitor, the monitor then started glitching and then shut down, the cameras in the gate then powered off.
"Cameras are down, let's go." The snaked masked teen said to an earpiece in his mask. "Thanks, Snake." The woman with a ponytail said. She was on top of a tree hunched like a predator ready to pounce. Under her was another guard, but unlike the ones in front of the gate, he was wearing a suit. The woman then had a wicked smile as the man was then perfectly aligned below her as she then pounced on the unlucky soul. Before the guard can comprehend what is happening the woman now held her claws onto the guard's throat, even when her face was shrouded behind the mask, her eyes showed what she really felt, they shone with glee as she stared into the eyes of the horrified guard who struggled to get out of the grip of the woman. But before the guard can get a chance to get out of his killer's grasp, the woman with quick strokes lacerated the guard's throat and his body then became limp. The woman then stood up and admired her work, she was then disturbed by some voices and some beams of light from around a corner. She then lets out a small chuckle as she starts to approach them. But she then stopped as she hears the guards on the other side being alarmed and struggling with an unseen force, there was a lot of grunts and audible hits but after a few seconds, it all died down, and from the corner emerged the young female teen. She was holding her tantō in her hand as she looked at the fox woman. The fox woman clicked her tongue as she entered the house through the window. The Oni masked teen's earpiece then came alive as the voice of Snake came from the earpiece.
"Oni, you can now enter the house, I also disabled the cameras inside. There are still a lot of guards and witnesses inside, remember no witnesses." Oni then removed her hand from the earpiece as she opened a window and entered the house. She entered the kitchen, and across from her is a maid who is cooking a stew in a large soup pot. She took out her tantō again, and quietly crept to the maid, the maid seemed to have noticed the presence of another person in the room and quickly turned around. Oni then lunged at her and placed her hand on the young maid's mouth, the maid struggled even when her sounds were muffled her kicking around caused a little ruckus. Oni, not taking any more chances slit the maid's throat. The maid then becomes limp as she let the body fall to the floor. But even when the maid is gone, the noise has gained some unwanted attention.
"Mikaela? Are you alright in there?" A female voice called out. oni hid beside the door and waited for the person to enter. The door opened hiding Oni as another maid entered the kitchen. She entered the kitchen as Oni prepared herself to pounce. The older maid then discovered the younger maid's body she stopped in her tracks and before Oni can pounce, a few needles were shot onto the maid's back and neck. She then dropped to the ground unconscious as Oni then stood up and decided to approach her. On the doorway was Boar holding a tranquilizer gun with a silencer in it.
"Why did you spare her?"Boar lowered his gun and gave out a sigh. "I have seen her before, a kind woman. Among the others, I saw pure good in her, a shame to let it go." Boar looked at the unconscious woman with pity.
"This act is unacceptable Boar, we were given orders and we must follow them. If you cannot do your task then I will." Oni knelt beside the maid drawing her weapon. Boar then held her hand to stop her, but Oni just gave him a stare which Boar got the message and let go. "Do it quickly," Boar said as he got out of the kitchen.
After a few minutes, Oni exits a few minutes later while cleaning her blade with a cloth from the kitchen. She only nodded at Boar as to tell him to continue their task.
A shroud of death covered the house this night. Each of the residents fell upon the messengers of death. No one in the house will ever be able to see the light of day as they embrace their eternal slumber.
In a bedroom slept a man in his 40s, he was suddenly awoken by a feeling he had. As he browses around his room, his attention was caught by a shadow in the corner of the room. The shadow was of a man and it had eerily glowing purple eyes. The shadow man emerges from the corner and steps towards the light revealing Hawk.
"Who are you? Why are you on my property?!" The man said with his voice quivering a little. Hawk then slowly approached the man, who in turn backed towards his bed and pulled out a gun from a hidden compartment in his bed. Upon seeing this Hawk then stopped and just chuckled with his chuckle being distorted a bit.
"I don't see this being funny bastard, get back and out of here." The man said as he pressed a button behind his bed.
"No one will come," Hawk said as his voice lowered and distorted into a horrific sound. "W-what?" The man stuttered at what the mysterious man said.
"Don't you understand? No one will help you." Hawk said as he resumed walking towards the man. the man fired shots at Hawk but he quickly dodged each one. The man tried to get out of his bed but was stopped as a knife pinned his arm with the gun which he then dropped.
The man then just stared in fear as his reaper approached him. " No, no, please! I beg of you!" But the man's pleas fell on dead ears. A scream echoed throughout the house as it then returned to its dead silence. The hunt was finished as the reapers left the house, satisfied with their night.
