It was a rainy night. Everything is quiet. It's like the night is dead.
"Finally. The moment I have been waiting for has come."
I whispered to myself as I hid perfectly in the shadows. I have trained and suffered for years for this very moment.
I started to sneak inside the mansion. From where I was hidden, the guards didn't notice me.
I slowly approached the sleepy guard and in an instant slit his throat. Then to the next. And to the next. Until I reached the main building.
I am stabbing, slitting every single person's throat. Starting from the guards, the maids, the gardeners, every single one. They all died by my hands.
And now, for the main event, I am going to kill this whole family, just like what they did with mine.
I started with the children of the head of the family. Some are older than me. Some are younger. But I didn't care. I didn't feel anything at all.
All I know is I have to kill them all.
No one made a sound. They all died quietly. It's the only mercy I can give them.
I am now headed to the masters bedroom of this mansion. It is so quiet. I can feel the excitement of achieving my life's purpose.
I slit the throat of the lady of the house. And lastly, the head of this household.
However, he seemed to have feel my presence and woken up from his sleep.
He screamed from the sight of his bloody dead wife. He screamed and called for the guards. But no one came. He is the last one breathing. I pretty made sure not a single soul can escape.
"Who the hell are you!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. I didn't answer. There is no need for an answer for he will also die just like the others.
At last. My revenge will come true.
This man deserve this.
I slowly approached him. He can't even move a finger. Fear swallowed his wits.
Without a warning, I throw the knife I am holding, stabbing through his shoulders.
He screamed in pain.
Yes. That's it. Scream more. Just like how you made my family scream for mercy.
Now it is your turn to scream like there is no hope.
I throw a knife again. This time i hits the other shoulder. He screamed again filling up the whole mansion.
I smiled like a devil. Maybe he saw it. I can see the fear in his eyes.
He is trembling and crying trying to stop the blood from his shoulders.
I throw another knife at hits his stomach. Now he bearly alive. Gasping for air, he asked for mercy.
"P-ple-ase, don't k-kill m-e."
The man strugling to breathe and speak said to me.
"This is for my family from seven years ago."
That's the only words he heard from me. His eyes grew wide. As if realizing who I am and what happened seven years ago.
I walked towards the fireplace. I got a wood with fire. Then walks toward the agonizing man. He begs for mercy. But that won't do anything to save his life.
I tossed the fire to the bed, making them be engulfed by the flames.
I watched as his body screams and burns to death.
"Aah. At last. My revenge is complete."
I stood there, until I am sure that the body was completely burned.
Now the fire is crawling to the entire bedroom.
I waked in the hallways as if nothing happened.
Now, I have completed my revenge. What should I do next? I don't even care on what will happen.
I reached the garden still wondering what to do.
The mansion I just came out with exploded suddenly.
I opened my arms, as if I am waiting for someone to embrace me. But there is no one.
I am alone. In the end, I am still alone. But I was able to give justice to my family and myself.
I just stood there waiting for something. Even when lightning strikes me now, I don't care.
I think I finally lost it. The will to live, is gone. I am done with what I must do. There is nothing left.
Standing in silence, I heard footsteps approaching.
Ten, fifteen, thirty people is approaching.
They will see me, definitely. But it doesn't really matter. I am done.
"Child." Someone from those people called.
I turned my head at the direction of the voice and looked at the man who called me with lifeless eyes.
It's the emperor. What a luck. I guess this will be my end.
For all i know, the end of my revenge is the beginning of a new life story.
