Crime Fiction Historical Fiction

I watched my prey as he try to avoid me.I walked to himself,and I could see the terrified in his face."No,please!I....I beg you!I know I'm wrong!I know I didn't give you my debt!"A sinister smile appeared.But the smile didn't last long,untill I hear a sound of knife clashing with metal.With a swift way,I moved aside.There he is.Cayden Blac.A private investigator.I took out the knife that was tied at my thigh and clashed it with his."It's been a long time since we met,Comrade."I rolled my eyes and pull down the hood at my head,to make my face more unrecognisable.

"There's no need to cover up your face,Comrade.I know who you really are."He said while chuckling.I pointed my knife to my prey's throat."Could I kill him?He is getting on my nerves."I asked."Oh no honey you shouldn't.He is a human being too."I chuckled.

"You know me,so there is no point for me to covered up my face."I said while dropped the hood to the back of my head.Cayden smirked."Yeah.There's no need to.Cause I know why did you want to kill our nobleman here.You should show your manner too,cause you are a noblemen too,am I right?"said Cayden.

I gave him a welcoming smile."Why Mr. Blac?I thought you know my background."I asked him.His face started to show that he is irritated with my actions."Oh,Of course I know.You are definitely James Hill,who stole the identity of the original Samuel Jackson.Am I right?"asked Cayden,he looked so sure.

"Why do you need to kill the noblemen?"He asked me.Carefully,he approach me slowly.I walked to the back of the nobleman beside me with the knife still at the nobleman's throat."Because the world need to realize,that everyone lives are matter.They need to help each other."I answered.

"But this is a wrong way."I heard Cayden said."No,it's not.In this matter,the noblemen won't hear such a person who was trying to spread awareness about lives that matter.In this case,crime is the best."I said again.I know,what I do is wrong.But I need to do this because no one will do it.

"You will need to follow me because a killer who already killed more than 10 noblemen needs to be accused for your wrongdoing.I can see his step start being rough.I smiled sinisterly,and I said,"It would be a bless for me to follow you but it's not going to turn out that way."I moved my knife,making the nobleman's throat torned out and the blood started spilling everywhere.Some of the blood can be seen at my black trench coat,alongside my black trousers.

I can see his shocked face.And that knife,I bring it to my throat and cut the skin.I felt the pain.I know my what I did was wrong,but it is for the sake of humanity that left.I can felt my blood spoiled and my body fall onto the floor,which mean I lost my own stability and the last thing I can see is Cayden tried to stop my blood from spoiling more.And then,just before I close my eyes,a flashback rushing through my vision.

10 years ago.

I lived at the orphanage when I was 7 years old.And now,I am already 12 years old.I sat at the bench while watching other kids play.I am old enough to go play with the other kids,so I continued to read a book that I stole from a library around this orphanage.It's about a classic story when the main character has to fight on his own to save he and his family.What an inspiring stories.

Then,a teenage boy sat beside me and he watched the book that I was reading just now."Yes?May I help you,sir?"I asked him and he smiled."You must be a wise kid seeing you just sat here on the bench while other kids went playing."He said and he gave me a box.My left eyebrow rose."I heard from the people around here that you always help them with their chores,and I want your help."He said as I opened the medium-sized box.So many money.I bet it's around 300 pound sterling.Then I looked him back.He touched his hat slightly before stand up.He offered me his hand and said,"help me execute every single noblemen who did a crime to the lower class and destroy the hierarchy."

I stared at his hand and i smiled."Yes,that will do."I took his hand,and our hand shake together."I am Albert Eren Jackson.What's yours?"He introduced himself."James Hill."and that is,how I got involved in this crime,but I don't care as long as the evil dissappeared from the world.

"Now,let's go.I'm going to adopt you,since I burned down jackson's mansion last week."He said,as he went inside the orphanage,organise anything that would do to adopt me.

The Jackson's family carriage brought me and Albert move from the orphanage to somewhere.Beside me,is a suitcase contained my own essentials and clothes,along with some books that I stole from the library.He just stared outside.I started talking."Why do you said so?"

He looked at me and smiled."This world is cruel.the god place the evil humans to be seat at the high class,while the good human were placed at the lower class.I've been living with devils my whole life,and I decided to kill them and looking for someone who have specialty,just like you to help me execute evils that still free at the whole world.We live for our own good.If someone didn't do this,who will?"he asked, before continued,"In this case,all nobles won't listen to us if we just talk andspread awareness.why?because they think they are powerful,powerful enough to take down the lower class people.We need to destroy that type of thinking."

"You need to understand,these people show their power through violance,so why would us can't do that too?"said Albert.I shook my head,understand about what actually happen."Then,do you have any plan?"I asked him."Yes,I do.But I need someone with great brain for the whole plan,cuz I have been watching you since last three years.You're strong and swift,not wise."said Albert again.The carriage stop by another orphanage,and we went inside.Albert adopted a girl.She looked wise and have a strong personality.And that is.How I met these wonderful people and having an intresting life.

The flashback was finished.I smiled,while tears down crossing my cheeks.They were incredible,and I hope I found them again in my next life.
