I couldn't look back. Not now. Not after seeing the scarred face of the man I've been hiding from since he burned down Richfield High School. That day found me hiding in the boiler room, waiting for the crowd of students to head to class. I couldn't face them. Not after being bullied for the past four years. The bell had just rung and I was making my way to the stairs when I heard a crash. Thinking fast, I slid behind a crate when out of no where a burly man rolled down the stairs. I recognized him as our school principal Mr. Higgs. Just as I was making the decision to come and help him, a man with a face so scarred, his mouth was set in a permanent frown. Fear rolled over me when I saw the knife, slick with blood, in his tight grasp. I looked away as he stepped forward, his intention clear upon his face. The loathing deep in his eyes. I heard It chuckle. No human alive could have such an evil heart as to be able to do what he did next and think it comical. The last I heard from Mr. Higgs, was the gurgle as blood filled is lungs suffocating him as much as killing him. ★★★★★† Four hours later... " Is this the man you saw? " I felt like my lungs would collapse. Staring back at me was the man who had murdered my principal. The police had found me, thirty minutes after the crime, crying by the body of Mr. Higgs. I felt helpless as he slowly died, his hands growing colder by the second. "Yes, that's him." "You may not believe it, but this man is the choice assassin for a terrorist group known as IDL. Stands for In life, DEATH. It may sound like some computer command to most people, but to us, it is the threat of men who kill without remorse. " The officer said who had been sitting in a corner for the past 45 minutes, waiting on me to calm down. "We have been trying to track him for the past ten years. " "Oh", it was all I could say. I felt lifeless. Drained. Ice slowly making its way into my heart. The officer, no, detective stepped forward. "I am deeply sorry you had to witness the Murder of your principal, but because you saw what you did, you need to be protected. As of today, you became a target for attack. We have already contacted your parents and decided it would be best if you and your family go into hiding. Welcome to the WPP, Miss Silver." ★★★★★† AND THAT IS WHEN MY LIFE WENT CAPUTE.
