It wasn't right. Even from the beginning, I could tell she knew. Even from when I saw her walk out of her apartment that day. I'd been following her all day. And now, the time was close at hand. And I could tell she knew it. Though she knew nothing of the fate that would befall her on this night, she did somehow know that something was going to happen. Truth be told, I do think there was something from somewhere deep inside me, in the darkest corners of my heart and mind, that enjoyed the fact of her uncertainty of the situations she was finding herself in at this moment. It was one of many mutual...acquaintances, a female, who had set things into motion. My own sister, at that. But truth be told, even she was not fully informed of the events that would unfold here tonight. Had she been, she never would have agreed to set up the meeting.
I do think it should be known that I never did like the idea of killing someone. I still don't. But what must be done, must be done. Though her reasons for doing so were still unknown to me, it was Blaze herself, the leader of our band, hoard, what have you, that gave me the direct order to do away with her own best friend. And, feeling how I do...no. Feeling how I did about her, added to the fact that she was our leader, I wasn't exactly given a choice in the matter. I knew that, if he found out, if he knew it was me, that things would go bad quite quickly. I was only human, after all. But then again, there was a reason for the others involved in this so-called mission. More like an assassination. They were essentially my back-up. They were an extra set of eyes, spare hands when needed. But in the end, I knew it was me who would have to pull the trigger, so to speak.
The blond-haired girl, in her last beautiful moments of what I've recently come to realize is a fragile existence known as life, was headed for the ran des vous with her lover. Her True. Her One and her All. Or at least...that's where she believed she was headed. She was, indeed, headed for her end. Her descent into nothingness had already started the moment she came through that door. If she saw me, it would be over. Though it was probably true that even if she had, she still wouldn't have seen it coming until it was too late. But, to be on the safe side, I remained hidden in the shadows. Darkness was my veil. For now. When the time came, I would show my face to her. But that would only come with the final blow, that I may see that oh so delicious look upon her face that in some odd twisted fashion served to feed quite well a hunger that was now bursting forth inside me, due to the conditioning I'd undergone from Blaze herself.
Her reasons for sending me on this mission, to kill the only love of my half-brother were as of yet still unknown to me. In hindsight though, I see it all now quite perfectly. She wanted him to regain that power he had within him. That darkness that now lie dormant thanks to the light that had made its way into his life through the love for him that came from her best friend. Blaze herself stated this was not something she looked forward to. So, it wasn't like we were doing it just to be cruel. You see, we all had our reasons for doing what we did back then. Little did we know the beast we were about to unleash that was lying in wait within my own half-brother. The beast that sprang forth to life when he saw his love, Maya, die.
