My Job is One to Die For
Oh, Hello. My name is Bryan. I'm here to tell my story of, my job. Well, its not an average job for a 15 year old girl. I mean, ill spare you the details by saying we get a weapon. A special chain, that could be upgraded to have extra bonus' during a hunt, such as in mine, i have a heating and self cleaning feature, that cauterizes the wound and cleans itself afterwords. So as you may be able to tell by now, im a hunter. But I hunt humans. I know, its not the best of jobs, But i grew up as one of the girls targeted by older men. So my friend, Anylessa got me the job in 5th grade. I was accepted immediately. In fact, when she went to the master to ask him, he was writing me a letter asking me to join them. He promised me safety for me and my family. Now i know to some it may sound creepy to know people are fallowing you, making sure your in line and reporting your every move to the master. Now, before I begin to blabber on about all this, you must understand our ranking system, and how the way you wear your chains show your status. When you first join your a newbie and will be sent on small missions, like smaller kids or older people who cant fight back. You will have your chain, both ends attached to your left pointer finger with the chain in your hand. After 25 kills, your ranked as a hunter and will be sent on more difficult missions, then you will wear your chain on your left hand, ends on your pointer and pinkie finger with the chain forming an X on the back of your hand. Once you have made 50 kills, you are then you are a grand hunter. This is when you get your abilities. For example, Anylessa got the shiftier so she can shift into any animal she pleases, and I got the scents so I am able to feel the presence of any victim we may have, and their weaknesses. The chains here are warn the same as the hunters, but on the right hand. The last and most honorable status is what we call the Master Hunters. Not to get confused with the Master himself who is the leader of your group, or as we call it, Family. This rank earns their spirits, mine being a Wolf and Anylessa's a 5 headed dragon. The Master Hunters get to wear the chains on their left hands, in their pointer and thumb forming a smaller X on the back of the hand again. The only way to get this status is to get a curtain liking from the master. Me and Anylessa, became Master Hunters in the first month of freshman year in high school. At the time, were were the only ones who have earned this. Pretty good for being the youngest in our county. Now here is the story I was meaning to really tell you. We have had an old worker, just about to be a Master himself, when he broke the code and told someone. He then was fired, but managed to kill over half of our already small family. Some of our best hunters, gone in an instant. We lost 149 men to him. His name was Joseph, a rough looking teenager only a few years older then me. He often would wear a grey striped hoodie and black gloves. Made him look even creepier with his medium length auburn hair and beautiful aqua blue eyes that glowed in the dark. I would be lying if I said I didn't like him. Thats why I was a little upset when I first when I got his card. So I got together with Anylessa, Stupidly in the middle of school, to come up with a plan. That night we were off. Our plan was that I would let his dog out of his yard and Anylessa would shift into it and get in the house, distracting him. That was the easy part and worked like a charm. The hard part was me getting in, so I went to the back of the house to find an open window, it seemed out of place but oh well, I was doing my job. I got in and made my way into the living room where Joseph and Anylessa, or his dog were. I held back tears as I saw Anylessa on the floor, with a hammer in the back of her head. I looked around and nobody was there, just Anylessa and an open front door. It seemed he had run from, something im not sure what though. I slowly made my way to my friend, and put two fingers on her neck. No pulse. I put my head down as a tear fell from my cheek. She had been my best friend for 13 years, now she is just gone. I Couldn't get the thought out of my head that, that is was all my fault and that I sent her to her own death. I looked up at the door and mumbled to myself, "Make that 150, family members we have lost to this fucking bastard, of he has really pushed the limit now".

I Stood up and started walking twords the door when i felt a presence behind me. I Know I said earlier that I can feel them, but i stupidly had let my guard down when I saw her laying there. I turned around as I allowed my spirit to come through and snarled into the darkness of the hallway that stood behind me. I took a few steps into the darkness when i felt a cold hand on the back of my neck. Then the feeling was unbearably strong, i knew for a fact he was right behind me. The hand soon became detached from my neck and the presence fled into a nearby room. I turn my attention there and make my way into the dark doorway. Inside the room stood nothing but a mirror, sitting on the wall parallel with the door. I looked at myself in the mirror. I saw a young girl, long auburn hair, and aqua blue eyes, that seemed to glow in the dark. She wore a grey, stripped hoodie and black pants. In her hand, she held a bloody hammer. I couldn't help but smile, and she smiled back at me. My gaze soon feel onto a slumped shadow in the corner. I walked over to it and smiled again, It was Joseph, but he held a dog, his dead dog in his arms. He was pale and his eyes were pale, rather then their normal aqua. He also had multiple screwdrivers and small knives in his chest. I put the hammer in his lap and walked to the door turning back to say one last thing before leaving, "Goodbye, Brother". --NightShadeGhule (talk) 04:43, March 29, 2016 (UTC)NightShadeGhule
