Chapter 5 - The prodigy

"Wait where are you going?" Rachel said, holding her hot chocolate. She looked at Mikaela picking up equipment and money.

"Getting food. We're out" She said, pulling out the house keys. "Whatever you do, do not leave or you'll get killed". She said opening the door and leaving the house.

Rachel stood up and walked around the entire house. It is a 2 story house that contains 5 bedrooms, 1 of them is the master bedroom where Mikaela sleeps. There are 3 toilets, 1 kitchen but no garage.

She went inside Mikaela's bedroom and she looked around. She noticed it was very spacious. It has many things, it was as nice as a rich businessman would have. She looked at the wall and realised a lot of trophies, and most of them are her kill count. She killed 79 people when she was 12, 125 when she was 13, 184 when she was 14, 293 when she was 15, 237 when she was 16 and 375 when she was 17. In total, She has killed 1293. "The most amount of kills after the government?"

"She's 18 years old?" Rachel said to herself. Cold sweat dripped from every pore on her face. She drank her saliva and ran to the door. She held the handle and she remembered what Mikaela said. She had a 3 second thought and sat back on the couch waiting for Mikaela to return.

Mikaela was walking around the neighbourhood and she saw a few homeless people begging for money. She gave them some of the money she has while walking to the supermarket. She looked at a flyer she read, " Fighting rumble is back at 8pm. Come and join if you wanna win 1 million dollars?" She then thought about it and she thought about joining. She then heard someone screaming. It sounded like it was not that far away from where she is. She ran with her blade.

She looked around and found where the screaming was coming from.

"NO PLEASE DON'T I CAN GET YOU THE MONEY JUST GIVE ME TIME!" The father begged for mercy from the gang. His name was Jackson. He and his gang are one of the top killers in Mekolan with a number of 374 kills.

"WE DON'T HAVE TIME! You better pay us up before this guy is going to have the time of his life for the next few hours if you don't give us the MONEY!" Jackson shouted.

"BOSS I HAVE GREAT NEWS!" One of the gang members screamed with excitement running to Jackson.

"Well? What is it!" Jackson said. The member pulls out a flyer. Jackson snatches it from his hands and starts reading it, "You will earn 1 million dollars if you are the last person standing? Hmm i think they mean last man standing" They all started to giggle.

"I think they mean. last woman standing?" Mikaela said behind the shadows. After they gained some sunlight. She was sitting on top of a large box holding her bloody blade and beside her was Jackson's gang.

"MIKAELA?!?" Jackson shouted out of nervousness. Moving backwards.

"Oh so you know me? Then you should know I have the most kill count around here. And if you have done your research, Jackson. I don't easy on paedophiles and arrogant scumbags, like you." Mikaela said. Moving her blade around her fingers moving towards them.

"KILL HER!" Jackson shouted. All of his men ran towards Mikaela. Mikaela continued to walk. They came closer to her and she immediately sliced their throats one after another. Their blood starts to pour down to their shirts. Some blast out from their throats. They started to choke on their own blood and they fell to the ground. Gasping for air.

"Is this the best you got? Jackson? The 9th most dangerous people around here and the whole Mekolan?" Mikaela said, walking towards him. Her clothes are filled with blood from the members.

"I wonder how you became one of the top 10 if you have to create a gang to protect you and do all of your bidding. And you have to beg people for money just so that you can survive?" Mikaela giggled.

"Is the government not paying you any money? Or is it because you are just number 5? Mikaela said using her pity baby voice at Jackson.

Jackson growled and ran towards Mikaela with his blade. Mikaela squinted her eyes, avoided his attack and sliced Jackson's stomach. He fell down and tried to crawl away.

"You don't deserve to die with no pain at all? You deserve a slow and VERY painful death" Mikaela smiled and she started stabbing Jackson every corner close to his vital points making his heart skip a beat.

All the father and the daughter can hear are screams of Jackson and Mikaela laughing hysterically. She was having fun killing him and to those who deserve it.

"You don't deserve to live in this world and in the number 5 slot. Maybe you should give that title to someone who is more capable enough to have it" Mikaela said. She heard Jackson, "please don't" crying out of pain begging for mercy.

"Well I won't if you didn't do those crimes. Well the government doesn't think so. But I do" Mikaela said and a number of crows started to fly away. She stood up and saw Jackson, dead.

"You should find a safer place to live. Someplace where these people don't live close to you, and your daughter." Mikaela said and she took out a few hundred dollar notes and passed it to them. She walked away.

"Thank you," The father said. Holding her daughter crying, traumatised from the event. She looked like she was 13 years old. Mikaela walked away.
