EPISODE ONE

I won't run anymore. But I didn't have a choice then. It wasn't like I was a fighter. I wasn't a saviour either. I'm different now. But when I think back on all those days I spent crying and hating myself for being weak , they weren't so bad were they?

Laughing with my family, hanging out with my friends. All those intimate memories with the people close to my heart. I just wish that I could relive them. Maybe it'll be possible when all those memories play again at my death. Heh, funny thought. 

*Smack*

" Ow!!! What the hell was that for?"

" I have been calling your name for 10 mins now Jinx", Lilith said, heading back behind the counter and continuing to clean this up," What were you thinking bout?"

I waved her off. I didn't wanna ruin the mood. She didn't pursue the topic further either.

 Everyone in the neighborhood was cautious of me, except Lilith . After all I was an abandoned problem child whom no one wanted. I have no blood relatives except my brother who ran away, and my adoptive parents abandoned me, leaving me to fend for myself.

Lilith is the only supportive figure in my life, and after escaping an abusive partner, she doesn't think much about relationships. Well that may be the only thing we both agree on…

We were just about to close the bakery, when a few thugs came in. Our bakery had good business even though we weren't one of those high class shops. Thugs were uncommon here. 

I slowly whispered to Lilith, "Go call some to the shop, or call the police." 

"But-"

" You know I can take care of myself, so I'm going to stay behind. Go and call the cops. Or alert someone in the neighborhood.", I said, cutting her off.

Police weren't needed. I had handled some goons like this before. There are many things that were so twisted in my past that I'm surprised I'm still sane.

Mostly sane.

They were two in number. This should be easy.

They didn't notice me picking up a knife from the counter. I wouldn't kill them, just hurt them enough to cripple them. I charged at one of them, Knife still hidden in my apron. 

I stabbed one of them in the leg, And using one of the pans on the counter I knocked him out. The second one put up a fight and landed a lucky punch on my face. I was a bit dazed but I'll stand my own. 

I slashed his legs, and went for his neck. I choked him till he passed out and immediately tied him up. I was wondering where Lilith was and my mind wondered just for a second. 

Shit. 

He had woken up and was pointing a gun at me. It was too late by the time I could take cover, he already shot me. It was on the leg. He shot me a second time to , in the stomach.

It was a simple robbery. Them having loaded guns didn't make sense. Well not like it mattered , I was still shot. Damn my overconfidence.  If Lilith doesn't come back soon I'll die of blood loss, or he'll just shoot me again. Whichever. Atleast I'm gonna die. 

Everyone born in this world is born for a reason. Atleast, that's what people say. If my reason was suffering in this world I had fulfilled my reason. 

Not yet, there's still time. And stop being dramatic. U ain't dying today. 

What? Is that God ??? Who the hell said that?? Wait , maybe it's Lilith…. But she doesn't sound like that. What's happening?? 

And that's when i saw the light…
