Ebony Roth
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
'Alaska, what a cold and pitiful place to get myself stuck in… If only that old hag would have listened, then we would have just went our separate ways. Too bad, she just had to push the wrong button.'
A pain ridden smirk made it's way across Ebony's lips, as she reminisced over the tragic mishap of a certain somebody. Truthfully, she had it coming. Some buttons aren't meant to be pushed.
[A Few Hours Before]
'So this is the target...'
Looking back down at the worn photo of an elderly woman. She was surrounded by a loving family with smiling faces. They all were standing in front of a beautiful garden with a mansion that could clearly be seen in the background.
Obviously, money was a major factor for the client's motive to have this granny killed.
'Guess she wasn't dying fast enough for him.'
Putting the page of memories back into her coat, Ebony took in her environment. The old women, who at the moment was unaware of the intruder, sat in a rocking chair softly pushing herself back and forth with her foot. A blanket lay across her legs, a book in hand as the fireplace warmed the elderly lady resting in the huge living room. The amount of dust that covered her furniture, gave evidence to the amount of visitors she had. It was kind of hard to imagine how this granny could live alone in such a huge house. But here she was, doing quite well by the looks of it.
Taking a step forward, Ebony examined her targets reaction. So far there was none. Stuffing her hand back into her pocket and taking out the syringe that rested inside, she watched as the chair rocked and listened to the silence. The soft breath of the women exhaling the only thing that broke it. Ebony slowly raised the syringe closer to the victims neck ready to attack, but she couldn't shack her hesitation or the moral thoughts cluttering her mind. Putting her hand down and taking a step back, Ebony let a sigh escape her lips, unable to look at her target. She could't do it, not in this manner.
*Click*
In an instant, Ebony's eyes flash toward the sound. The first thing to come into sight, a barrel of a gun. The second, the elderly target standing, calm and collected with pistol in hand.
There might be another reason to have her killed after all.
"It's not polite to sneak up on people, Deary"
"By your reaction and preparation, I take it you knew someone was after your head?"
Scanning the woman up and down, Ebony slowly turned her body to the side, making herself a smaller target.
"And here I thought I would let the cat out of the bag…"
Taking a step forward, the woman grinned sweetly to Ebony, like she was smiling at one of her own grandchildren. The weapon never faltering.
"You're not the first, Deary."
Ebony stood her ground, eyes narrowing, and a sour look making it way across her face. Forget having a stare down with the barrel of a gun. This old hag was starting to ride on her nerves. Deary this, Deary that, and that smile! How annoying could she be?l
"Listen…Granny… Put the gun down before you find yourself with grass above your head. All I came to do was war-"
*Bang*
In an instant, she could feel it. The blazing burn from the bullet tearing into her flesh and shoving her back. After that, everything turned black. Only the abyss remained. A few moments had passed before Ebony regained her senses, and what lay in front of her was the remains of the old hag, torn to shreds and in a bloodied heap.
[Back To The Present]
Wincing, Ebony clutched her shoulder as she made her way through the thickening snow. The bullet wound that old hag gave her still burned like hell.
"She should have listened…"
