Mini Story #7- The Hunt

I feel my heart pounding in the dark. We are a part of the darkest shadows in the night. We gingerly touch our feet to the ground careful not to make a single noise. His long brown hair cut short to further hide his identity from my uncle. I died my hair red to attempt to hide my identity. However, I don’t think any amount of changing my hair will hide my identity from him.

It’s been years since I’ve been here. Here staring at the house where it all began. A cool breeze sent shivers down my spine. I gazed at the profile of my uncle smoking cigarettes on the back porch. My breath caught in my throat at the thought of what was about to happen. I took one step forward still hidden in the shadows.

I felt a gentle hand on my arm. I looked to meet the chocolate brown eyes of Edwin. I gave a nod to let him know that it was time.

I calmly strutted up to the figure smelling of cigarettes and sweat. “Hello, Stan, if you alert anyone you die instantly.” I growled letting my anger deepen my tone, as I ripped his arms behind his back and zip tied his hands together behind his back. I threw him against the railing which knocked his cigarette out of his mouth.

“Fuck! That was my last cigarette! Who are you? Your voice sounds like someone who I know you cannot be since that someone is dead.” If his voice hadn’t cracked in the middle of the word dead I would have believed he wasn’t scared. People like him are all cowards and even death is too good for them.

“You are mistaken.” I replied unable to prevent the smirk crawling across my face. “I am like a Phoenix. I’m reborn from the ash, and I have grown stronger and braver than you could even imagine.” I spat at him then pulled out a knife that Edwin let me borrow for the occasion. I made a quick motion across his neck.

After the deed was done Edwin appeared in front of me and held out his hand. “Ready?” He whispered.

“If the rest are dead then yes.” I replied with a sigh. As soon as I grabbed his hand I was whisked into the air.
