The Betrayal
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Her eyes barely registered the flickers of light before the sound struck her like a slap. The burning smell of gunpowder wafted through the air. The noise was shocking and eerie as it echoed through the night sending shivers down one's spine.
The faint light from the moon cast a shadow over her figure . She was dressed in a black dress that was soaked in blood. Her hair was a mess and her body was filled with various wounds, both and small.
But despite her weak appearance, there was a strong glint of determination in her eyes .
Two big burly men held her captive, restraining her from any movement.
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed through the silent night.
Belle looked up to see the figure walking towards her. Dressed up with exquisite make-up and in gorgeous clothes was none other than her sister,Alicia.
Covered in blood, Belle couldn't help but laugh coldly. Although she was never emotionally attached to her family, she always made sure she provided them with everything they needed.
But now, they stood far away, watching coldly while her sister or rather half sister toured her.
Littered on the ground where corpses of some of her close companions. Their death was so greusome that not even a piece of skin was left intact .
Looking at the scene in front of her, Belle's welled up with tears .
Alicia's suddenly kicked Belle and sneered, "You know, it's quite funny how the most talented and feared person in the family is now in such a pathetic state."
Belle endured the pain spreading through her body and said through gritted teeth, " I never involved you with the family business, never told you about my job as an assassin"
She paused and stared straight into Alicia's eyes, " and I certainly never gave you Intel about any of my missions."
"So how did you manage to plan all this?"
Alicia paused for a moment then smiled sinisterly, " Of course I won't take all the credit. I got a little help from one of your friend."
Belle asked confused, " My friend?"
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the the shadows decked in nothing but black.
Seeing the person standing in front of her, Belle's pupils dilated, " No!"
" I-It can't b-be!"
"Let's get this done and dusted, we still have a lot to do. The board members are about to have a meeting to elect a new CEO." Alicia said impatiently to the man standing beside her.
The man ignored Alicia, his eyes fixed on Belle. They emitted a dangerous glint.
Despite the pain in her eyes, Belle's voice sounded indifferent." It all makes sense now. Only someone who is deeply involved in the business and has access to all the confidential information can come up with something like this."
"But I never expected it to be you." She whispered sadly.
The man flashed a smile that was filled with coldness and creulty.
"Well, I would love to tell you the reason I did all this, but keeping you in this world for much longer is a threat to us. So say your goodbyes." He said as he pointed a gun at Belle's forehead.
His finger slipped on the trigger and the air shattered as the bullet tore through space.
But what shocked not only Belle, but the family members standing away was that the person who got shot was Alicia!

Well think again."

The man clicked his tongue, " Stupid" he said as he looked at Alicia's body on the ground.
"Did you really think I'll kill you with this pathetic little thing?" he said while throwing the gun aside.
Belle didn't respond.
He pulled out a bronze dagger from his pocket.
"Do you remember when you gave this to me after I finished my first mission.
Those where happy days ...but now it's going to be the weapon that will send you to the afterlife."
Immediately, he swung the dagger towards Belle. The dagger moved fast and fierce, like a venomous snake spitting venom. The dagger instantly pierced Belle's heart.
In the cold wind, her figure swayed and Belle's vision went dark.
