Everything looked so perfect when looking from the outside. But no one really knew them truly. They had a secret, but so did she.
And as she always said...
"A rose bush may be beautiful to look at, but you can get pricked if you get too close."
In front of me, a man was tied to a chair, battered and bloodied, his screams and pleas for mercy echoing through the room. "Please, I'll do anything you want. Just let me go." he cried out.
Though a small part of me pitied him, I knew that he had brought this upon himself. He alone was responsible for his current predicament, and there was nothing I could do to help him.
"Your no longer hold any worth to me," I reply emotionlessly pulling out my gun from inside of my jacket. I was too far gone, no one could save me from this darkness.
"Actions have consequences. You sentenced yourself to death, Mr Sanchez. Traitors pay in blood." I chuckle darkly as the gun in my hands was pointed directly at his head.
He started to squirm in his place trying to free himself which I just rolled my eyes at. His screams became louder than before. I suddenly tug the trigger, not a hint of remorse displayed in my eyes.
The loud bang echo's through the room and the man's body goes limp.
I don't remember when everything went down hill exactly. I only know that one day I looked into the mirror and I didn't recognise the cold emotionless eyes staring back at me.
Everything had changed- I had changed. There was too much blood on my hands to ever go back. Would I go back? It was a question that played on my mind every time my finger nudged the trigger. Every time blood stained my hands. And every time another body was added to the list.
I don't know if I would.
Everything was out in the open now. No lies hanging over me.
A clear conscious. No regrets.
That was a lie in itself.
Her cries were carved into my brain. A reminder that Death haunted me. How he walked in my shadow. And he would take everything from me. Like he did her.
