《A Fool's Wish》Chapter 1 Page 7 - Nightmare

“I have not abandoned you” X whispered in her ear “You just have not fulfilled your end of the deal”
“But I killed him,” Akilah said vexed. “I did it! I did what I was told”
“I said kill whoever enters through that door. Two men entered, only one is dead”
Akilah felt chills running down her spine. “You don't mean that I'll have to...Kill the other...?”
“Yes, and from what I can see you need to hurry, because your second victim is coming back”
With that Akilah felt his presence disappear once again. ‘Damn it’ Akilah became a mix of annoyance and fear, she did not have a plan this time. Akilah was scared because she did not know if she had it in her to commit another murder. ‘What if another person enters instead? Do I have to kill them too?’. Akilah had no time to dwell on the matter, as she heard hurried footsteps approaching the room. Akilah had managed to go and hide behind the door in the nick of time.
The door opened, and an audible gasp could be heard. A guard entered; Akilah examined him from behind. She was not completely sure but it looked to be the same guard as before, Akilah felt a hint of relief ‘I will not have to kill yet another person’
The guard slowly approached the now dead prisoner and bent down for a closer check. ‘Now is my chance’ Akilah thought. She crept up behind him just close enough for her knife to reach him.
*slice*
This time her aim was much better, and she sliced him in his back. The guard turned around and Akilah slashed his throat, blood shooting everywhere. Akilah did not know if she had to stab him some more, like she had done with the prisoner. He was on the floor desperately holding his throat. ‘Is it really necessary? Do I... Need to stab him more¨?’ Akilah looked at the knife in her hand and then back at the guard that was turning paler and paler by the second. ‘Better safe than sorry’ Akilah said as she raised the knife for a second attack, and another, and another, repeated.

“Wow, you are becoming a full-on criminal now”
Akilah stopped and looked around, she now felt X’s presence again.
“I mean he was already dying after the second attack, was the other seven really that necessary?” He asked in a jokingly manner.
“It's better to be safe than sorry” Akilah answered as she got up from the floor.
“Yes, yes indeed I heard you try to justify your behavior”
“I just did what you asked me to do”
“No what I asked was for you to kill them, not turn them into minced meat” He said with a laughing tone.
“I just did what you asked me to do” Akilah said in monotone voice.
*LAUGHTER* “YES! This is the Akilah I want!” X Yelled out while laughing.
Akilah could feel his presence growing
"Not the ‘too scared to skin a rabbit’ Akilah. But the ruthless revenge seeking Akilah"
That struck a nerve with Akilah and shook her from her mindless state, almost as if waking up from a dream. But this was not a dream Akilah soon realized, as she looked around the room and then down at herself dripped in blood, this was a nightmare. She threw away the knife and backed up against the wall, dropping down and hiding her face in her palms. This was reality. She had just killed two men in cold blood.

Gourmet Food Supplier
“In a land far to the east, there exists a strange store that has rejected a three Michelin star rating multiple times. The prices are expensive. A combo set of soup and egg fried rice costs 288 RMB. Oh, I forgot it also includes a side dish of pickles. Even so, very many people line up to wait. That place does not accept reservations. It only lets in people who are waiting in line there. Countless people make special trips to line up there. Of course, there’s nowhere to park planes or cars.

Just so you aren't confused I wrote this book directly from the movie and it's just what I wanted to happen or thought would happen instead of what really happened. DO NOT come to my comments telling me it's like the movie cause I know that's the whole point. I wanted the movie to go different in some parts so I made a book on it.
