Revenge
It doesn't matter to you that this is dangerous, or that you could easily get hurt. Without sparing a thought to anything else, you immediately start running in the direction of the two fighters.
You don't want your father to be killed! You know that your mother will be unhappy if he is, and you're terrified. Your heart's pounding even harder in your chest, and the palms of your hands are getting really clammy. You can't see anything else other than the two men fighting.
However, before you get very far to them, the stranger leaps high into the air, and comes down, slashing at your father as if in slow motion.
For a moment, nothing happens. Then, your dad's legs crumble, and he slumps slowly to the floor as blood flows from a wound in his chest.
"NO!" you scream, rushing over to your father. The red-haired man turns, and, for a moment, your gazes lock. Child and assassin. Assassin and child.
Then, he's simply gone.
"Daddy...!" You drop to your knees beside your father, crying bitterly. Did this happen because you disobeyed him? "Daddy... Don't go!" you sob.
What do you want to do?
