Chapter 1 - One Cold Night

The Weather was Ruthless Against Rena Skin as her shallow steps moved swiftly avoiding breaking any of the branches and causing even smallest sound audible for human or beings ears .

She managed to Ridden herself of other assassin's , it would have only disturbed her concentration on the mission , hearing how they would mumble amongst themselves whether it's about a bet or mercy for their targets ,seemed like a full waste of time in her perspective .All she ever wanted was to be spared of punishments which would be delightfully delivered by their leader if even one of them failed the mission, Sometimes death was unavoidable when he settled his mind that you held no worth in underworld.

Sadly not even once that idea been changed , and their bodies been entirely burned and erased out of existence without a single trace , whether through social side or Their history .

She didn't felt like joining that list ,not yet least . Even if her number of kills kept rising day by day without a single fail in any missions ,Her hands didn't became any cleaner from all the blood she spilled ,Adults ,Young children sometimes even , Social figures and so the list was never ending, With those thoughts at last clearing up from her mind and any remaining pity fading away in the darkness , Rena settled her mind not feel pity once again for those who would die anyways one day , Pity but she only delivered it sooner .

With that her grip on the dagger she carried in her hand tightened hard enough until her knuckles paled enough to dig through the skin .Sharp and bruised but not easily noticeable on her pale skin .

Her coat swayed as she climbed the tree settling in for a view Infront of the campsite hidden deeply in the forest ,Hell whoever idea was to build one there ,was stupidly idiotic even for her to question .

Taken that remark She whispered the chanting which belonged to ancient witches , Making her entirely invisible for anyone at all .Unless there was any hell hounds nearby ,Then it would be a bloody way of a run .

Moments later a pack with needles rested on her lap as she saw the family of four settling nearby the campfire, the youngest little girl carried tons of marshmallows out of the tent along with several fluffy toys she barely could even carry all along in her tiny arms .The father seemed to be enjoying his cold soda while talking with his giggling wife ,and fourth at last was the main target ,A guy perhaps of same age as Rena was or maybe younger who knew ,If she would be a normal teenager perhaps both of them would even go to same school ,But Irony was simple , Imaginations couldn't be compared to sad reality and with that she threw with her fingers and some force one of the needles directly towards the youngest girl .

Surprisingly it been avoided as a massive form of black fur darker then darkness of night emerged growling and baring it's teeth at the parents ,Massive size and burning red eyes was familiar for her ,But she had no time to wonder who released a skinwalker at such a bad time .She readied herself to finish her work and make it as much painless for all of them as possible ,But the creature been faster as it ripped through father body tearing it in half and tossing it into trees .

Bloodied shrieks filled the moment and mother been second as she pushed her eldest son out of the creature way ,in tears yet desperate to protect her children , That ended as her head been severed from her body and only ones left was the little sister and brother who tried to take her in his arms and run away as fast as he could ,Rena followed him along through the trees , running right above them unnoticeable by skinwalker . But the beast been faster for a short second ,and it's claws reached for both of them , forcing the girl and her main target fall and tumble across several meters .

It's been years since she killed any creatures or had to train with them ,Their leader was mainly focused on demons handling and other entities ,But that wasn't the case now as the young girl screams and cries been silenced as the creature stepped on her ripping all limbs apart .

It was a brutal sight for any weak hearted ones but that particular reason and glimpse at the Boy who cursed the creature barely standing on his legs and willing to give up his life just like that .Was something she didn't wished for anyone ,even her worst enemies if she had any alive .

Rena dropped the Veil of invisibility down , Tossed the worthless needles away and launched herself from above right onto the skinwalker back , Tearing it's neck wide open as it growled and tried to shake her off ,with blood gurgling down it's throat ,At last after few more stabs into it's skull it fell dead twitching perhaps still in agony she wondered .As she stepped slowly backwards away from the creature into the shadows of the trees .

Sadly even if her features been covered with hoodie and zipped mask .The boy stood motionless watching every movement of her , debating whether she was the friend or foe . But the corpses of his remaining family been immediately reminded to him as he saw the blood covering every inch of skin and tragically his sister limbs as well ,Or what remained from it .Tears filled his eyes and Rena remembered what remorse and pity felt like once again .

-Why ?

a question she could barely hear until it's been repeated loud enough into a scream .

-Why?! Why you didn't let me die with them ?!

his hands been shaking even if he wore layers of sweaters ,Pure agony, somehow she was fond of that , but a mix of rage was new sight .

- It's not worth it ,

she whispered back , Hoping he didn't hear it but seems it was entirely opposite .

-not worth it..? NOT Worth to die with my only family ?! They been All I ever had !!!

Pissed by such an outrageous and ridiculous reasoning ,She stepped forward cursing him and whoever else heard it. If any of the assassin's tracked her down by tagging along of some distance ,She needed to silence them along .But at this moment she felt only as beating that damn boy into a pulp .

Her hands still remained drenched in blood as she stepped forward with the same dagger still impaled in her grip ,Not hesitating she pushed him against the tree stabbing his shoulder with it until the edge hit the hard surface and she knew it pierced his flesh .

Inches away from his face ,She nearly hissed at him through her mark .

-Listen to Me Idiot, even if you lost them ,That doesn't mean you have to throw your life along recklessly along, Didn't they tried to protect you ..And you wish to make their efforts go to waste just like that ?

Pained Yet grumbling back he tried to look behind that mask of hers ,Who hid behind it ,But the dagger in his shoulder only twisted causing him to distract from that focus ,And the boy knew,the mysterious helper might as well be a foe .

- What the hell am I supposed to do then ?

stubbornness took over and he retaliated that question in return .

- Find reason to live ,You been spared,But others life's had costed that ,Find your happiness again .

Bitter but sincere truth it's been coming from Rena side ,As she knew her life would cost that to because of her intentions to spare him out of mercy ,Maybe it was even time for her ,At last she stepped away Setting everything on fire with another chanting once again .She felt to lazy to use matches and that would only leave more evidence .

She heard the same boy trying to call up to her , Asking what to do ,What will happen now ,Where should he go .

All she did was ignore , Because she knew ,He would make the smart choice and run ,Run as far away from there and any history of his family had left behind .

and with that Rena ,The So called Unknown as her given name had to return back to Organization and clear any trace left of this spared idiot history .Maybe somehow even avoid her own death .

But the image of his pale face ,the sculpted art of his cheeks ,And those messy black hair with a hint of light brown eyes filled with tears ,Remained Engraved deeply in her mind even if she tried to get rid of it .You Been Spared Lucas ,So don't waste it .that's all she ever thought.
