Chapter 1 HER ONLY COMPANION

THEME : HER ONLY COMPANION.

*** *** **** ** ****

Luna washed off the blood stains off her hand in the basin with a derp scowl on her face. She had just gotten back from a mission and this was her usual daily routine everytime she got back from a mission.

She make sure she cleans her hand and that there was no blood stain on her. This was her way of saying that she knew nothing about the victim's death.

" I was only following orders so I hope you don't haunt me instead haunt those who sent me" Luna saidas she walked out of the bathroom.

She picked a towel and used it to wipe her face and her arms. She threw herself on the bed and closed her eyes. She recalled the face of the man she killed and she felt sad. She brought out her gun and she kissed it .

" Love, we aren't at fault, right? we were only following orders and it wasn't like we had a choice" Luna said caressing her gun.

Love was the name that she had given to her gun, he gun was her only best friend and companion, it has been with her since she joined the gang. She was deeply attached to her gun.

Her gun has always been with her on every of her mission, She always find it hard to go to any mission without love. it sounds crazy that she was speaking to her gun but it was her only friend, she has no one to talk to except her gun.

She has no friends to share her pains, her sorrow with. She was a loner.

Looking back at her life, the only time that she was ever happy was when she was in school, her happy life came to an end after she was forced to become a member of the assassin gang by her father.

A knock sounded at the door and she got up quickly holding tightly onto love.

" Who is it?"asked Evelyn as she moved towards the door.

" Shadow sent for you. He requested that you should come with me." The force informed.

Wondering who shadow is, shadow is the nickname which her father is known for.

She was sure he called her for a mission asides that her dad never sees her let alone talk to her.

" You can leave now, I will be with him in a jiffy." She replied.

Luna heard the retracting footsteps of the person leaving her door.

She packed her hair in a bun, adjusted her clothes properly and headed to her father's office.

Inside a opulence office, a man in his early fifties sat on a chair popping up the cigarette in his hand.

A dangerous scowl was visible on the face of the man who looked deadly and dangerous, the man was no doubt the head of dangerous mafia boss or a assassin, well the man was both because he was Demetrius the father of Luna Demetrius and leader of Bloody haven gang.

Luna entered the room which was filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, she squeezed her face in disgust as she moved closer to her father.

" You sent for me Shadow." She said referring to her father with his nickname instead of Dad, Papa or father.

She had hated the fact of calling him father ever since he forced her to join the gang. To her father she was just a tool which he can use anytime that he wants, while to her, he was her boss or should she rather said her master.

" Take a look this picture and information." He said handing over a file to her. " Make she you study every details on that file because that is your next mission."

Luna picked up the picture, she was captured by the most handsome man that she had ever seen, his green emerald eyes were mesmerizing, she felt drawn towards the man in the picture. looking at the picture something in her arose.

" He is Leonard Cohen, I attended an assassin meeting last night and his details were given out, there is a huge bounty on his head and every assassin is after his life, you have never failed me so i am counting on you to deliver." Her father said as he stared at her.

" How long are you giving me to eliminate him?" Luna asked.

"We were given six months but am giving you just three months which I think is more than enough. sketch a good plan to get him and make sure you kill him when you get close to him."

She looked her father one more time before walking to the door without uttering a word to him.

" Luna!" Her father called as she was about to exit the office

" Make sure to be safe and return back home safely. Leonard Cohen is a very dangerous and deadly man, many people had died while in the quest to end his life." Her father said, Luna's eyes widened with surprise this was the first time that her father was showing her care.

Could it be that she was hallucinating or did she perhaps heard him wrong?

.

She couldn't believe her dad still cared about her without a second thought she ran into his arms hugging him tightly.

" I promise to come back safe, dad"

She pulled away from the hug trying to control her emotions that was building up in her, she hadn't hugged her dad in years and she felt happy and safe to be in her father's arms.

" You have to because there are still many missions I need you to tend to and with the way things are you will the best person for the job." Her father said running her mood and shattering her hopes and joy.

She moved away from him as tears envolved her eyes. She was so foolish to believe he still had a little fatherly love left for her.

She was foolish to believe that he still loves and cares for her.

Without saying anything and looking back she left his office running to her room.
