Woman uttering words which was beyond his imagination

"Can you let me... escape from...

This hell....

I can't anymore....

I can't...."

With gasps of air leaving her lips midst those words, pretty eyes filled with tears moistening her long eyelashes....

Even if her tears are falling,her blood stained face remained espressionless as ever.

...

...

He waited for this moment to happen,

"I can help you escape but....

You must do something in return for me"

said smilingly so beautifully, devil in disguise.

...

...

She held his shirt firmly,

dirt on her hand staining his shirt

"I will do anything....

Anything....

Just let me free...

I can't anymore....

Please! "said with desperation.

...

...

"Then, THE DEAL IS SET!"

Said him smiling at her,

a hunter happy to see rabbit trapped in trap set by him.

...

...

Pulled her in for a hug.

"You can't back out now!"

She flinched at his sudden hug,

Then said softly,

"I won't... even if it costs my life..."

Hugs him back

...

...

"It's done now..."

Smiling in his embrace.

...

...

A deal between devils to escape from Hell

Will they escape together?

OR

Will one end devouring other to rule Hell?

A Facade, A Trap between leads.

...Chapter 1...

Background - A Forest Fire

...On the Road...

A woman laughing crazily

"I did it! I did it! I....."

Her messy brown hair glowing in sun with her beautiful tanned skin dressed in a cotton midi-dress at knee's length with brown worned out shoes.

" I burned down my own forest.....

My....."

Overwhelming kerosene mixed with burning wood smell made her realise of what she has done

Heavingly gasping and tears overflowing with melancholy in her voice.

"My home..."

Looks at the 5'11 woman infront of her, whose face isn't clearly visible due to the black hair and cap covering most of the face.

"DID I DO IT RIGHT? "

asking for assurance from the expressionless woman staring at her with a pair of lifeless eyes, uttered in a low voice

"Your hands burned..."

suppressed in the woman's desperate cries...

"Is My Mission Accomplished now!?"

The woman took out a cigarette, smoked a puff, replied,

"There is still a thing left.."

The woman confused, suddenly realised. Shocked looks at her....

"Why?"

Collapsed on the ground

Staring at the lady, holding a gun with a silencer, blood splattered on her face and hands.

Stood still like a statue, unfazed.

Looking at the woman lying in the pool of blood..

as her breath slowly fades away.

"This wasn't part of our plan!!!"

Shouted her comrade, Tobey absolutely horrified at the site came running to her.

"Why did you??????"

Saddened by this.

"Why did you have to kill her??"

As he is speaking,

She bend down checks her pulse, 

"She is dead." speaks softly.

Turns away and starts walking towards the silver SUV parked nearby and commanding as she walks

"If You wanna get arrested, your free to stay here!"

Sits on the driver's seat.

Tobey however shocked he maybe, left with no choice, but to sits in the car.

The lady wears her sunglasses and drives off leaving the cold corpse behind.

...HEADQUARTERS...

In a room, smelling like paper and ink along with gusts of dust in the air,

The superior standing infront of her, commanded with a stern look, "Report?"

Lady standing in an upright posture,

"Everything has been dealt with" replied in a strict professional voice.

"What about the woman?" he inquired.

"She was killed" said her monotonously.

"Why did you kill her???" he asked furiously.

"She became an unstable element which was sure to be eliminated"

"It wasn't a decision to be made by YOU!!!" shouting at top of his lungs, in complete rage.

Unfazed she replies,

"I have already submitted a report to The HEAD.

Please later inform me of my punishment.

Then.."

Lady bows

"I will leave" walks out of the room.

Superior "How Arrogant!!!!"

Slams his hand on his desk was completely furious at her sheer audacity, then remembered, as if awaiting for her doom,

"let's see how long she can survive!!" said devilishly.

...Canteen...

...A place, smelling of rust and steel, with tables and chairs so worn out like it need not be taken care of like the basic food given....

The lady sits at a corner placing the plate of food on the table.

People whispering, at mere sight of her,

"She didn't even wipe the blood off her face and hands...

How creepy!" said some other agents.

"What if she is the best here she need not shove it on our face!" said with jealousy in her eyes.

A new recruit asked curiously, because of how a single person can cause such commotion and become point of everyone's attention,

"Who is she?"

Man seated beside who joined here few months back, answered, "She is said to be best one out here ranked first in annual exams and even has most missions assigned..."

"She is a woman?" she questioned.

"Yes, she is...."

"With a man bun, and hair covering half of her face I thought she was a man!" can't digest the fact

"Even that was my initial thought, She wears those baggy clothes and hair touching her shoulders... First look she would look like a man!"

"Even in baggy clothes, her good built can be seen..." said her in awe.

"But why is everyone looks so hostile to her? The Tension is too much!" she questioned in curiosity.

"You don't know....

She doesn't even blink while killing someone,

She is even sad to have killed her teamates

Ruthless!"

"What?? " shocked her.

"A COLD-BLOODED MONSTER!" said him in disgust.

"MONSTER??" Shouted her in a shock.

Canteen fell in silence, only the sound of movement of steel chair on which she sat echoed.

Everyone shut their lips tight, so as to not get devoured by her, This was really,

'FEAR OF DEATH'

She walked away, without a single glance at anyone.

The man said nervously, "Are you crazy? You could've died just now..."

"Me? Died???" said her shivering, still unable to forget the pressure she felt just now.

"It's said, when she was only 11 yr old, she pointed gun at a girl who spoke ill of her. She was about to kill her.. It was real...." just at mention of this, he dreaded her.

"11 yrs?" she asked in utter disbelief.

"At 11 yr of age she joined here...."

"Really??" asked in complete shock.

"Yes, It was thanks to The Head, the girl wasn't dead... "

"The head himself? Is it not that only some people have see him so far?"

"Yes, That's one of the reason everyone fears her because of her connection to the HEAD!"

"Really, She is a dangerous woman! I will stay away as far as possible!"

Someone called, "Sheryl, you are coming?"

She replied, "Yes!"

Turned to him and said, "Thanks for speaking with me! I will take my leave!"

"Sure." replied politely.

'Did I ask her name!?' wondered her while walking away.

To be Continued....

...Hallway To Dorms...

...The musty hallway to dorms with cobwebs hanging around the corners and fungus growing on the walls...

A silhouette of man leaning on the wall, where the men and women dorms intersect.

She notices, walks past him

"Wait! "

The man shouted, revealing himself under the limited sunlight which is entering through the window nearby.

Man in his early 30's brown haired with stern and rough features covered with scars on his lips and nose.

...

...

She sighed..

"What is it?" and turns to face him

Punches her in the face

"How Devilish Can You BEEEE!!?" 

Her face facing downwards, her nose oozing blood...

In the silent hallway, the sound of dripping blood from her nose.

"F**k" said her while wiping the blood from her nose, her lifeless blue eyes piercing his soul, says,

"What is it?" in a calm voice.

...

...

The man in front of her was Michaelis Aspringer, her teamate, her long time acquaintance, probably the one whom she spoke the most with,

He was looking at her with contempt for the first time, holds her collar,

"Why did you kill herrrr?? Did you...."

Overwhelming emotions take over him...

Tears start to flow over.... 

"Did you really.....had no choice.... ?" he asked wanting to still believe she had a reason.... She must have....

It was the first time for her to see him cry.

Looking at him with blank expression...

"No..." said her with disinterest

In utter disbelief, He said, heavily breathing,

"How can you be...so...heartless?

She did nothing....to you.. she.....

was the most pure...and loving.....

I couldn't....couldn't...even....see her......for the last time.... "

She looks at him, as if looking down on him, holds his hand which is holding her collar and spoke

"Why are you like this? Did you catch some petty feelings?" 

As she say those words, she freed herself from his grasp.

...

...

"What??" he was aghast by her words and looking at her, a woman who shows no ounce of emotion and only  reflects coldness her eyes, as if mocking his feelings.

"We aren't here for that,

We are here to survive."  said her in monotonous bored voice

The voice he had heard thousand times, still felt sick in his stomach at her heartless and ruthless nature.

Finally gaining his senses, he replied,

"Hah! Survive you say! Will you kill me too...

to survive??" He meant to question her but still was afraid of her answer, expecting it to be in negative.

She paused a bit like the answer was obvious.

"Yes, if required to."she replied with no signs of remorse or guilt.

...

...

She sighed heavily and said

"You have wasted my time of training..."

started walking away.

With Michaelis laugh in disbelief

echoing within the hallway, as if even the walls were mortified at this situation.

...Washroom...

...A space just enough to fit one person,...

...A small washbasin beside the lavatory with a mirror cracked on the upper side....

...A flickering bulb on the roof....

Washing hands with a cheap quality soap.

the blood has dried up already on her hands.

"I guess I should just leave it"

Washes face with water, pulls back her  black hair strands of which some are bleached.

Looks at the mirror flickering bulb reveals features of her face,

Fair brown skin,pinkish red eyes reflecting light with a long scar covering whole of her right cheek upto her nose, bangs hiding her forehead, fresh blood underneath her nose and blood stains on her cheek.

...

...

'It's been days since I have last seen my face....'

She thought.

'That was one nice punch..' looking at her nose, remembering...

Sighs deeply

Suddenly nauseous...

Vomits and sits there

'I guess the food served today was stale again...'

Everyday, every minute, every second,

she reminds herself to survive.

...Place Of Forest Fire...

Forest officers patrolling the area.

2 Officers together conversing about the situation,

"Why was there a sudden fire?"

"Who knows?? Nature is very unpredictable...."

"Yes, your right"

Suddenly they hear scream of a man,

they run towards the voice.

"What is it?? Why are you shouting?" asked Gilbert Spencer, in his mid 40's to the man who is throwing up at a corner.

The young man says,

"there is a corpse...." in a weak and timid tone.

They look at the woman, brown haired, in a midi dress, lying a pool of dried up blood.

"Oh Gosh!!! What's this???" terrified at the site reaches to check for her neck pulse.

"She's dead" declares the man.

After throwing up, The young man finally turns up to asks,

"Sir, what to do....now?"

Other man, in his 50's, the head officer, Oscar Waterfeld, finally speaks up,

"Keep quiet about this!

We already have to deal with the fire, we can't get involved in anymore sticky situations." in a serious tone.

"But sir...." Gilbert trying to refute but in vain.

"I won't be hearing anything!

We have finished patrolling,

The conclusion is,

Fire was caused by a natural cause and the compensation will be done accordingly.

Understood!!" commanded the superior, no space for any denial.

"Yes, Sir!!" replied Gilbert and the Young Man in a synchrony.

Oscar sits in his car with driver drives off the car.

Both the men bow in respect as he leaves.

The young man opens up, asks,

"Why did sir say something so outrageous? how can we ignore a human?

A human was killed!?"

To which Gilbert replies,

"You don't know about the rules yet,

We aren't allowed to question decisions made by superiors...." disappointment in his voice was clearly visible

.

He continued, "The woman was unfortunate, look at her carefully, she is either an immigrant or of a local tribe here.

If the word is out, the situation will only escalate.

This is what superiors doesn't want,

An Unnecessary Sticky Situation....." in a voice mixed with melancholy and anger.

Gilbert sensed that the young man was intently hearing to every word he said,

Says,

"Your young, you have a promising future,

There maybe curiosity, but you know

'Curiosity kills the cat' and here we are all caged mice infront of human....

So, Don't get involved in any dangerous situations!"

Smiles and pats the young man's back.

"You have a hard back..." said appreciatively

"You look weak though...."

To which the man replies,

"I might be emotionally weak but not physically!" claimed the man, touching his biceps.

Gilbert laughs... "You are a funny man.

Anyways, what is your name? We had to come here as soon as you were recruited."

To which he replies with a smile, his freckles visible,

"I am Aiden Maddox!"

..

...

A gush of wind, blows away the cap on his head,

Exposing his blond shining hair.

Gilbert says with a smile,

"Your hair shines in sun."
