Chapter 5

****************James POV*****************

I was born with the ability to manipulate fire. I thought it was really cool when I was young, but as I grew older I found out it was a below average ability. Being able to create and manipulate fire was the most common ability, but I couldn't create it. I had to have a source of fire or I would be helpless. When I became a teenager I joined a rough crowd and I started doing whatever I wanted.

Guy 1:"Hey look at her!"

My two friends and I were leaving a store we went to for cigarettes.

James:"Which girl?"

There was a rather large crowd walking around in front of the store since this was a shopping district.

Guy 1:"That red head with the huge tits!"

I glanced over the crowd and found the girl he was talking about. She had long red hair and an amazing body with all the right curves.

Guy 2:"Tch!"

James:"What's wrong? Not your type?"

Guy 1:"No he's still mad cause his girl left him for another man. She was a red head too."

Guy 2:"That red hair pisses me off!"

Guy 1:"Then lets teach her a lesson."

The three of us looked at each other and a sinister grin flashed across all of our faces then we followed after the girl. The crowd kept her from realizing she was being followed. She eventually ended up in a more isolated part and I moved in to distract her.

James:"Hey! What's your name."

Girl:"Me?"

She pointed to herself quizzically.

James:"Yeah. I'm James."

Girl:"Sorry I've something I need to do."

She tried to get away, but I blocked her. Her eyes matched her hair and had a beautiful ruby like shine to them. I could smell a sweet fragrance coming from her which stirred me to get closer.

James:"How old are you?"

Girl:"Ummm.............16."

She tried to step by me, but I stopped her.

James:"Come on...play with me."

She looked up at me and I could see anger in her eyes.

Girl:"Move!"

I had thought she was timid, but now she showed a more fierce side. I smiled at her as my two friend crept up behind her and covered her mouth then dragged her behind a building. I followed after them to join in on the fun.

I was the self appointed leader of the group so obviously I would get to go first. My two friends held her down and I climbed on top. I started unbuckling my pants when one of my friends leaned in to lick her face. When he was close she jerked her head forward and tour a chunk out of his neck which cause him to release her and place both his hands on the wound.

She pushed me with her free hand and I stumbled back. She jumped at my other friend who was holding her and then I noticed something different about her. Her mouth was open much wider than any normal humans and she had shark like teeth. I looked at my first friend and saw that the chunk she tour out had almost decapitated him. He was already dead then my other friend joined him only this time the entire neck was gone.

His head rolled across the ground as the girl swallowed what was in her mouth. My two friends were dead and I had no way to protect myself without a source of fire. She approached me and knelt down in front of me. I no longer smelled that sweet fragrance only blood and death loomed in the air. Before I could do anything her mouth wrapped around my head and I could only see the darkness inside her throat then she bit down.

****************April POV*****************

April:"Fuck!"

I ended up running late since I had to clean up three corpses. Disposal is easy with my ability, but they tasted horrible. I had to quicken my pace in order to make it back in time. When I entered my apartment there was a ringing sound coming from the bedroom. I went in and got the encrypted phone that I kept on the bedside table. I picked it up and answered it.

April:"This is O.R. 1."

Male voice:"O.R. 1 this is A. please confirm."

April:"R.R.1.D.43.9.F2.6G."

Male voice:"Confirmed. Status report."

April:"Target has not been located. Three civilians killed, but disposed of. No request for assistance. End of report."

Male voice:"Acknowledged. Continue mission."

The call ended and I breathed out a sigh of relief.

April:"I thought I was gonna miss it."

I threw my purse onto my bed and plopped down next to it.

April:"This isn't a very easy mission."

I sighed again as I thought about what I had to do. Shadow wasn't a very easy person to find so I haven't been able to make contact with him. I knew I wasn't the only one the rebels sent, but I wanted to be the one who actually accomplished it.

Shadow had killed quite a few skilled omegas and still hasn't been caught so the rebels wanted to make contact with him and possibly have him join. My father was an alpha and my mother was an omega. I was born with an ability, but my brother was born as an alpha. Most of the time two omegas will give birth to an omega, but on some small occasions their child is born an alpha. The same applies for two alphas who have kids, but it's very rare.

My mother lived in this city then she was sent to do her tour of duty with her pair. The two of them were attacked and my mother barely made it out after her pair was killed. My father found her wounded and treated her without realizing she was an omega. Mother didn't say anything since she needed his help. When she was finally better the two were already in love and she told him the truth. My father had a hatred towards omegas so he threw her out, but it immediately started eating away at him.

He couldn't deny that he loved her so he chased after her. Luckily she stayed close by and he was able to find her then he apologized over and over again. The two of them ended up getting married and they had two kids, but things were never stable since there was a constant war going on around them. The only free alphas left are the ones in the rebel army and they are forced to live like nomads unless your part of the "Base" which is where the leaders stay.

My family doesn't even know where the Base is so we've traveled around a lot. I wanted to help and was finally allowed to join the rebels when I turned 15. It's only been a year and this is the first mission where I thought I wouldn't have to kill anyone. I don't have any problem with killing since I've been around it my entire life, but it feels like all the people I've killed haven't helped to bring freedom to alphas. I thought that this mission would be different since it was to make contact with someone. I hoped that a change would occur, but all I've done so far is kill three omegas. It's not any different from the missions I got before coming here.

I found out today that shadow killed an omega with memory abilities and his wife last night. This time a picture was taken of him by a hidden camera in their room. He had on some kind if weird suit so his identity is still unknown. I couldn't predict his patterns so I was feeling very frustrated. I let out another sigh before getting up.

April:"Haa~ I guess I'll go get something to eat."

I picked up my purse and left. I went out to eat since I didn't feel like cooking. The sun had already gone down after I ate and I was now walking back home. I noticed down the street that a young man with a hoodie on was going into a park.

April:"What's he doing at a park this late?"

I was a little interested so I followed him. I had another reason to follow him and that was shadow was believed to live in this neighborhood. One of the other rebels that looking for him passed this information along to the rest so I thought maybe I'll get lucky and the hoodie man is him. This wasn't the first time I've had to tail someone so I knew to keep my distance.

He stopped and looked around which forced me to hide. I couldn't see him from behind this wall I was against so I poked my head back out and I saw a figure of a man disappear. I saw him from the back for a second, but I recognized him immediately. I looked around for a while, but couldn't find him.

I eventually gave up and went back to my apartment. I was very excited about seeing the hoodie guy. I knew that he had to be shadow which made my heart race. The thought that this mission would be accomplished by me filled me with joy.

I would show up at the park an hour earlier tomorrow to watch for the hoodie man. My excitement would be obvious to anyone who could see the huge smile on my face.Back to Main Page
