You Kissed My Soul

4 years later

19 years old Aderyn

I combed my hair and made it a braid and tied my brown hair which reached my back with a band and used hair clips to set my hair. I looked at myself in the mirror. Everything has changed. I was no longer the same Aderyn. I was changed and all grown up.

I will be turning twenty next month and how badly I wished my family to be with me. But I am not alone any longer. Nancy is with me. She will turn six years old after two months. She is my only family.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I as dressed in a black tank top and above of it a black jacket with Black jeans. I just loved black. I walked out of my room and checked the time to see it's already noon

Nancy is in hostel. I had no other choice but to keep her there. I had been killing people not willingly but by force and I didn't want Nancy to be a part of all this. I am still burning with revenge whenever I meet Derek, images of parents comes rushing into my mind. Today is the day when I will be destroying him forever.

I knocked in his door and entered the room when I got the permission. I want to the couch and directly sat on it waiting for him to finish his call.

“Flame” he eyed me as he ended his conversation. My name has been changed by the agency and I'm basically known for my ruthless ways of killing people. Whenever I am done, I would burn there bodies or their houses for no evidence.

"What is it?" I asked arrogantly and he rolled his eyes.

"Always arrogant. Get on your job. Take this” I threw a file on me as usual. The file contained every information about my work.

Today is the day I've been waiting my whole life. Today is the day when I was going to destroy him. I nodded and got out of his room with the file still in my hand. As I walked through building I saw James holding a girl probably of fourteen to fifteen years old in his arms and he walked towards the Cellar while the girl was unconscious in his arms.

“Don’t worry girl I will save you" I muttered as I walked towards the basement and took the keys of my car from the person who was sitting on the counter. I showed him my file and he stamped on it and gave me the car keys.

We were only allowed to go out of the building whenever we were allotted for a work. There was a Chip stuck to every agent or shall I say Assassin to trace their location. So nobody could ever go against the agency.

But I was prepared.

As soon as I reached the car, igniting the engine I drove off to the location. While driving, I pulled my tank top up and pulled out the papers that I hid behind me underneath my Jacket. From my shoes, I fished out a pen drive and smirked keeping it on the papers.

“You are going down Derek” I spoke to myself and smiled with victory.

I have been secretly and cunningly collecting information against Derek. The pen drive contains all his illegal works which I stole from his Computer data secretively.

All I have to do now is to handle all this to the Police. I have a friend in Police who knew everything about me and the agency. He was the one who asked me to collect information against him and today was the day when I was going to do everything as I planned.

I parked my Car before the house where I was suppose to kill my target.

I took the gun and knife and walked in. The front door was closed but I opened it easily using my technique and walked in. The room was dark and I thought no one was there.

"Hands up” I stood dead on my track as the lights lit on and a man stood near the doorway pointing his gun at me.

I raised my eyebrow at him and took few steps towards him. I could see him Gulping. I was famous to my killing ways. I did not fear death. It was not possible for anyone to scare me.

“Put the Gun down Idiot” I muttered and rolled my eyes at Theo.

He smiled sheepishly and pulled his hands back.

“Geez! I thought I could scare you” he rubbed the back of his neck.

Theo was the Cop who was my friend who was going to help me against Derek. As I couldn't go anywhere, we formed a plan for which Theo needed to change his identity and become our Agency's new target and we made sure that I was the one who should get him as a target and for that we had to kill the other Assassins who were sent by Derek for Theo.

“The files are in the car” I spoke icily as I sat on a couch.

“I will take care of it from now on. A will inform the department for a Raid" he informed me as he got on his job calling his department.

“Leave Derek for me Theo. I want to destroy him by my own hands" I spoke sternly and with hatred. “Listen Flame this isn't possible. He will be in our custody and he can't kill any more people now. I promise I will make sure to make his life a living hell” Theo tried to justify and I nodded.

“Don’t worry we will save the victims an you will not be involved in this case as I have promise you earlier” he spoke and I nodded.

He gave me a last glance and made his way out of the room.

I waited for two to three hours in that house and when the time came I switched on the Tv for the news for which I was waiting.

“Breaking news!”

"A private company has been raided by the Police today and the reason for the raid is shocking”. “The company’s owner Mr. Derek Williams is a prime suspect for turning innocent peoples to deadly Assassins. I had been doing this work secretively for twenty years now. He had killed many innocent people and had been doing this shocking tragedy with human kind for years now".

“Destroyed” I spoke as I watched the news feeling satisfied. I watched as he was arrested by the police and he walked out of the building trying to hide his face from the camera.

“Destroyed” I screamed throwing the remote.

“Derek Williams you are destroyed” I laughed as tears rolled down my cheeks.

My revenge was now complete.

I bandaged my hand as blood oozed out of my arms.

I had to use a knife to get rid of that chip which was stuck inside my body.

I sighed in contentment.

It's been two months now. After the incidence with Derek, I went to the building and took my things with me. But I did burn the building down avoiding the fact that it was still under police care.

I just wanted my revenge and it was done. Flame got her revenge.

“Revenge is Bad Mr. Williams” I spoke with hatred as I remembered his words when I met him for the first time.

It was now the time for Ryan.

I have been after him since a month and according to a file which I got in Derek's building he is three to four towns away.

I switched the lights off waiting for my target. The Blonde girl whom I met half naked in Ryan's house whimpered because of the her odd position.

I found him. I found him living in an apartment. When I reached here it was evening and I found this Blonde girl in his bedroom half naked. Probably someone whom he screwed.

She tried to hit me when I barged in. So I had to show her her real place. I tied her hands backward and tied her legs and gagged her. She is now lying on the floor wearing her lingerie crying and thrashing to free herself.

I sat on the recliner as I waited for him. It was dark and I like it that way.

Finally waiting for hours, I heard the front door open and close.

“Brother is home” I smirked and rotated the gun from its Barrel.

The Blonde whimpered seeing the gun in fear and I smirked at her.

“Thank God that the Whore has left” I heard him speaking in the dark and I smirked even more when the blonde widened her eyes shocked

The moment he came in his bedroom I spoke “Well Well look who is here!” and I marked as the figure stopped in its track. It ran to the switch board and switched on the lights.

"A-Aderyn?” He stood shocked there as I eyed him with hatred.

“Hello to you too Big Brother” I spoke sarcastically rolling my eyes at him. He looked different. He was no longer muscular. He looked thin now with beard in his face and dark circles.

"Y-You are Aderyn right?” He asked again as he took a step towards me.

I pointed my Gun towards him which caused him to stop.

“Yes I am Aderyn duh” I spoke sarcastically.

I untied the Blonde and without wasting any more minutes at ran out of the apartment only in her lingerie.

“You are alive?” He asked again not believing his own eyes.

"Why are you not happy seeing me alive?” I asked innocently.

“I am happy Aderyn. I can't believe this” he spoke as he smiled at me.

"You are so grown up now" he spoke and tried to take a step towards me but I pointed the gun at him warning him.

“What are you doing with that gun? Leave it Adie it's not a toy” he spoke as he tried to take a step. I pulled the trigger and shot him in his right leg causing him to wince in pain and kneel down before.

"Aderyn!” He screamed as he held his leg crying.

“You know brother I wanted to hear this from a long time. You can’t understand the happiness I am getting hearing your screaming and wincing” I spoke icily.

“What do you mean?” He asked as tears rolled down his cheeks.

“It means it the day when you are going to end your life. Dear Brother” I spat and smirked seeing his eyes widened.

“You want to kill me?” He asked not believing it.

“Isn't it obvious?” I asked eyeing his leg.

“But w-why?” He had the audacity to ask.

"Why?" I questioned raising my eyebrow.

"Why?" I spat with hatred “because I we revenge. You killed my parents” I snapped and got up from my seat kicking him on his pain.

"Aderyn!” He cried as he fell down on the floor.

"You k-knew?" He asked and I knealt beside him “I saw everything” I spoke slowly enunciating each words.

“I am so sorry Aderyn. I was just blinded with revenge. I felt so guilty killing my own family that I couldn't sleep in nights. I tried to kill myself multiple times. Please forgive me baby girl” he cried.

“I help will help you taking your life Ryan. Don't worry I am expert on this. Thanks to you actually. You are the one who made me like this. I was taken by the Agency and was turned into an Assassin who knew only to take lives” I told him as his eyes widened.

"Y-You are an Assassin?” He questioned still wincing.

“Correction! I was. I destroyed Derek as I am now going to do the same with you” I pointed my Gun on his forehead as I eyed him with hatred.

“I am sorry. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have done this. I killed my own family who gave me love and cared for me. I killed my sisters” he cried and I remove the fun from his head.

"Oh and by the way I am not the only one alive. Nancy is alive too” I spoke and he widened his eyes. “My princess is a-alive?” He asked and I nodded smirking.

“This is our Revenge for killing our family” I pointed my gun at him.

“It was my family too” he spoke and I punched him on his face causing him since in pain and cough out blood.

“No it was just OUR Family. You are an outsider. You are nobody to us because you are a murderer” I screamed holding his hair.

“I am so sorry Aderyn” he cried.

I pointed my Gun at him and he closed his eyes waiting for me to pull the trigger. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to take revenge on him. I pulled the trigger and we heard a loud him shot but I didn't direct it towards him. It was towards the ceiling.

He opened his eyes and looked at me shocked.

“No matter how much I try I can't kill you. Ever” I cried as I sat next to him taking his head on my lap.

"You destroyed everything Ryan. You are the worst Brother in this world" I cried as I ran my fingers between his hair.

"Aderyn I regret even thinking to do that. I know I am cheap and I don't deserve to be called as a brother. I am the worst Brother” he cried and I kept the gun near his head.

“But it's true that I hate you. I can't kill you but yet I want revenge” I told him as I kept his head on the floor and got up.

“You are the worst but it's true that you were the best too” I cried and wiped my tears away angrily. "Forgive me Adie” he cried holding my leg.

“I can never forgive what you did Ryan. I truly hate you" I told him as I walked out of his bedroom slowly but stopped near the entrance.

“It is upon you now what you want to do” I spoke as I walked like a dead human out of his apartment. I heard a fun shot and I watched as the guards ran towards his apartment hearing the gun shot pushing me while the running.

It was all needed to break me. I fell on my knees and cried screaming.

"Why did you do that Ryan? Why?" I screamed crying louder.

Soon after Ryan was gone, it's been a month now and I found that Nancy had Blood cancer. She was diagnosed with Blood Cancer when she puked blood in her hostel.

"My life is a curse” I cried as I touched her face. She was sleeping in the hospital bed as machines were attached to her body.

She fluttered her eyes open as she looked at me with worried eyes.

“Adie” she spoke slowly.

“I am here princess” I spoke softly as I missed her forehead.

I had to earn money and for that I was forced to go back to bring Flame. No, I didn't kill people any more but I participated in street fighting earning money. It was illegal but the amount was huge. I needed money to pay Nancy's hospital bill. I wanted to save her. She was my only family and for that I accepted being Flame.

No company gave a job to a undergraduate girl. I was talented but I didn't have any degree. I was helpless.

It was time for a match now and for that I needed to leave Nancy alone in the Hospital.

“I have to go now Princess” I spoke as I kissed her palm lightly.

“I don't want you to go. Please don't go. I'm scared” she cried holding my hand.

I looked into her eyes and held her close to me, gently kissing her on her forehead. I promised I would be back soon.

“Don't cry, Sissie is going for important work stuff” I told once she started to cry.

She stopped crying and with her Little hands, she held my face and sobbed.

"OK go then, will wait for you.”

"Good girl” I told her.

I kissed her again and went out of the Cancer ward.

It has been a five months now and yet there is no improvement in her body. The doctors have started to give up on her but I was stubborn. I knew nothing would happen to her.

“Nancy look I have brought your favorite pasta” I spoke happily as I kept the lunchbox on the table. She was sleeping. So, I went to her and shooked her but she didn't open her eyes. She looked pale and thin.

“Nancy wake up” I called as I shooked her more.

I punched the switch calling the nurse.

“Nancy please wake up” I called her again but this feeling my heart beat rising. I was panicking now. The doctor and the nurse barged in and pushed me aside and began to do their work.

They checked her pulse and I noticed the machine which was dead.

"We are sorry Miss Brookes” the doctor spoke as he gave me a sympathetic look and stood aside. "W-What? What are you sorry for? Nothing he happens to Nancy. She is strong. She will wake up now just wait. You will see” I spoke as I pushed the nurse who was holding me and went to Nancy. “Nancy please open your eyes”

“You can't leave me Nancy”

“Please”

“Please God you can't do this to me”

“Plead Nancy wake up” I cried shaking her.

I took her in my arms and kept my head on her face.

"You can't leave me princess. We were family” I cried holding her tight.

I stood their holding her in my arms for some minutes disagreeing to the fact that she was gone. After some minutes when it started to register in my mind, finally I broke down. It was the ugly truth that Nancy was no longer with me. She was gone forever and ever. I couldn't save her.

I watched the scene which was playing before me and I knew I was crying remembering those moments. Those were the worst moments of my life but were the ugly truth.

I looked at another scene where I was standing at the edge of the bridge looking dead and broken. I was trying to kill myself. But I couldn't. No matter how much I tried I couldn't. It was just too much for a twenty year old girl. I was human after all.

I snapped out of the scene as I heard someone calling me.

It was turning dark again and I found myself again in darkness as I began to hear someone calling for me.

"Aderyn!”

"Aderyn follow my voice Aderyn”

"Aderyn!”

And as I followed the voice, I began to recognize who it was.

Dylan.
