Floating in and out of darkness I awake. Oddly it feels really familiar as if I've done this before. Snapping out of my dazed state I can't help but ask "Mr.President are you alright?" But when I open my eyes I can't see. There's just darkness not the usual government building I've become so used to shuttling to every day for low pay high risk. Just remembering the 40 years of work just to put a bowl of rice on the table and if I was lucky some eggs. Just the thought of it made me raging mad.
Well Laine it could have been worse I guess, my head starts to feel as if it's splitting images of the events that led me to this moment flickering as if I'm being shown a movie reel. Ear deafening explosions, gunfire, shouting, screaming. I remember! I was acting as a bodyguard in a meeting with foreign nations while I guarded the Supreme President of the Northern Alliance, Mercy Xilligar a man of such extreme stature it was a good fortune we met.
My leader was discussing terrorist attacks on all of their nations and what could be done to combat it. The leaders of these foreign nations to me looked a little off today not the usual smiling and cheerfully secretive or stern poker faces even through turmoil and strife I'd come to see quite often instead they looked grim and I couldn't understand why.
One leader was absent he having the same standing as my president in terms of power as he was the leader of the South Nation under us. I personally was confused because from what I'd seen he was very orderly and never missed anything. I tossed any concern to the side as a nuance of maybe there might have been some problems in his travel. Well he's not my problem I thought let's just forget about it. The meeting continued I ended up just tapping my foot to the clock waiting till the big shots were done.
Then it hit. That 6th sense that always told me danger was near and how I had protected a man for over 40 years on numerous occasions. I first noticed this ability in my late 20s when I was so drugged up and drunk off my ass that I didn't know if I'd live but the sorrow of my only love leaving me to the next world scarred too deep she was the only one by my side after the war losing all my friends.
I ended up trying to commit suicide by overdosing on a new medication that was going around said to cure all worries well my worry was what was the easiest way to die and I took it as a sign this could end it. So I popped a few and let myself sink into sleep. *SMACK* A paw of some sort hit my stomach with such force I threw up the pills. I opened my eyes to see a cat midnight black starring at me and it spoke. "Your life has been saved as per my contract with this I am free." Next thing it disappeared and with it astonishment but that experience seemed to have opened up a new reality of the other side a world I didn't understand with it a sense of foresight.
After that I slouched and laid on the cold concrete in the alley pondering when a man with shining blond hair walked over in a business suit and looked at me and smiled " Are you lost, if so would you like to be found? " and he extended a hand. That brings me back to the meeting. I felt it ripple and I knew something was up. Then it happened I ran towards the president and tackled him and brought him under the table the next second the whole building was evaporated into nothingness from the might of what could only be thought of as a bomb we tumbled down the rubble.
Being flung over and over till my back smacked a pillar and I couldn't move *CRACK*. Laying there heaving looking at the destruction and dismembered bodies around me. I sighed relieved the president wasn't hurt just passed out.
He was my only reason to live even if I couldn't move anymore as long as he was fine I'd be happy but just when I was feeling calm and collected a man in a long overcoat with jet black hair and a big smirk walked over saying very calmly " Looks like I win " as he came closer I realized it was the president of the south alliance he looked at me and then at Mercy and gave a chilling smile teeth and all.
He then drew a gun kneeled next to Mercy and whispered just enough so I could hear "President is over rated you can call me King." With that he fired and killed Mercy. He then started to manically laugh and walked over to me "For 40 years you've stopped me, you should have know foresight only goes so far. *BANG* My vision went dark.
