Escaping Destiny

•Pilot •

Some of us are given choices to do what we desire, but others are born into the lifestyle, and that's where my story comes in.
I'm Skylar. Skylar Milton and this is my story

Ever since I was little I dreamed of being the best I could be, being someone that did good and that could change the world. Little did I know that I would change the world but not the way I wanted.
Since I was 7 I've learned how to use guns and kill animals, after all my dad trained me, I'm supposed to be the future leader of The Masked Jaguars. That's my fathers gang, I'm next in line. I'm the heir. Unfortunately I was born a girl. Earning respect from my peers wasn't always easy, and my father deep down hated that I was born a female.

I never wanted to kill any living thing in my life, but being next in line I had to practice. I started killing rats, then I moved to dogs, and after that to deers. I never wanted to kill a human, but when I turned 16, my father gave me a "present", I would get my first human kill that day. I killed a rival gang leader. To this day I can still see his face all bloody, beat up, begging me not to kill him. That night I cried. I felt sick. But after a while I got used to it I've killed 3 people that crossed us. I eventually started shutting down my emotions, I felt nothing. You know when you look at something and you have nothing on your mind and no feelings, that's what I built, a wall. No one would be let in because I was afraid that if I let someone in
They'll destroy me

Present Day~
As I entered my room my phone rang
It was my best friend
Danielle
"Hey what's up"
"Nothing just got to my room"
"Well, get back out cuz we're going to the mall"
"Really. I swear I will hurt you I just got here"
"Too bad bestie meet you there xoxox"
Danielle was a happy spirit. She knew about the gang and how I'm the new leader. She knows everything from my first kill to my training schedule.

Her brother Ashton joined the gang after his father died.
Danielle and Ashton's parents are both dead. Their mother was killed by a drug addict and their father died trying to find who killed the love of his live.
Ashton joined the gang to honor his father and find his mothers killer.

So Danielle and I have known each other since we where 12. Ashton is 3 years older than Danielle.
He's heartless and he's determined to find his mothers killer.
As I walked out of my room I see my dad arguing with my mom. It's always normal to see this.
My dad always pressured me into training and killing and my mother always wanted me to grow up normal and follow my dreams.

I kept walking down the stairs. I went into my car and drove to Sunset Crest Mall

I saw Danielle at the entrance to H&M

"Hey girl"
"Hey sorry I was a bit late parking was horrible"
"No worried next time come in a helicopter"
"Yeah sure keep on dreaming"
I rolled my eyes at her playfully
"Let's go walk around and talk" said Danielle
I nodded

We walked around for about an hour and a half and I decided to go home and get ready for training

As I walked to my car I bump into someone
I glance up and look at this stranger
He had dirty blond hair and green deep-sea eyes
His smirk comes off attractive and sensitive, he knows he can have girl drooling all over him

He helps me get my bag and I finally manage to say

"...uh oh sorry"
He looms at me with a cheeky smile and says

"It's alright beautiful, glad you're ok"
I smile and say

"I better get going"
"Thanks for the catch"

"No problem" he says and smirks

As I walk by him to my car I spell his strong cologne which only made him more sexy and attractive

I then say quietly to myself
"No Sky don't fall for him, you're a gang leader he'll probably get scared"

I get into my car and drive home, and I quickly get ready and hop back in my car and go straight to my training location.

When I get there Ashton is waiting for me
"Hey Sky"
"Hey Ash"
"Let's get started I want to finish strong today"
I start shooting at the bottles and the animals that come around my path

After half an out we start with physical fighting
I struck Ashton down and he has me in a wrist lock, I kick him and I give him and arm lock.
Once we finished we got water, talked about some things and I headed off home.
I wondered if my father would he home
He usually goes drinking after he fights with my mom but you never know with him. He's unpredictable, and he's taught me to be the same. I sigh and remember everything

The first time I grabbed a gun and shot an animal, the time where I wouldn't want to shoot and he'd made me.

My first kill, the mans voice still echoed in my head as I thought about it and went through every aspect of it.
I sighed and thought to myself,

"Will one day I'll be Escaping Destiny" ?

Well this is my very first story and my first chapter, I'm sorry if there's any typos I'll try my best to make it better. There's a lot to come for "Escaping Destiny" tune in my loves
Kisses :)
