The first wave.

*This is another look into Candice’s past a time before she had killed anyone and she was truly scared at the life she would eventually lead, This was her first deal gone wrong*

Her hands covered her ears the sounds deafening, Her hands slick with blood that wasn’t her own the smoke filled room threatened to choke her if she didn’t move soon, she couldn’t she squeezed her eyes shut and all she could see were the bodies falling in front of her the blood splatter that landed across her face hot and wet her breathing becoming quick, So quick she thought she might pass out she slid down the wall pulling her knees up to her chest this was it this was where she died and she was scared the gunfire blazing around her the people she had come to call family falling and she did nothing, Nothing but hide and wish it all away she was like a child hiding in the closet while her parents fought.

Another explosion hit now behind her causing the wall to crumble on top of her pain searing throughout her whole body as the concrete fell on her yeah this would be her grave under rubble she didn’t want to fight anymore she didn’t want this life she didn’t want to die is this god damn warehouse in the middle of nowhere but she made no attempt to free herself strong hands grabbed hers and began to pull her pain that’s all she felt not relief at being pulled free but pain from the broken rocks ripping through her skin “We gotta go!!” Her eyes blurred but she could tell it was John of course it was John he always did look out for her he always had her back no matter what “Candice NOW!” He shouted he looked like sh*t but she didn’t look much better clothes ripped dirt all over her blood everywhere it looked like a war zone her eyes glanced around the room and it seemed like everything was happening in slow motion gunfights happening everywhere her friends dying, Dropping like flies.. Fire.. so much much fire and she hadn’t done anything her ears ringing from the explosions and the smoke burned her lungs a shot rang out passed her and into John’s shoulder “Sh*t” he gritted his teeth the pushed her out of the way to kill someone behind her she didn’t look but she knew that happened “MOVE CANDICE, TIME TO GO!” He grabbed her arm and pulled her with him although they were around the same age John was more mature about killing people he could do it effectively without batting an eye she on the other hand was new to this and hated it once he had dragged her outside the blood bath continued and her hearing had started to return she could hear sirens “F***, that’s not good” he told her as they crouched at the side of a car “we have to find Nik” she said as she stood and turned crashing into a masked man she froze as hands came around his throat a knife cutting through his neck the warm sticky crimson blood poured out onto her as the body dropped to the ground she seen him he was alive and as psychotic as ever “Hey baby girl doing alright?” Nik winked at her but she was mortified “Time to get out of here” he now grabbed her “John cover us let’s get to the back our car is waiting” and with that the pair of them got her to the car as they reached the car however the cops swarmed the place Nik and Candice were already safe in the car but John had took yet another bullet in the leg slowing him down “Get out of here” he shouted to Nik as he started the car and began to drive away she screamed at him “NO” she could see him being swarmed by several officers from the back window “Go back! Nik go back we can’t leave him” she was hitting him from the backseat now “STOP THE F***ING CAR!” He wouldn’t listen “Shut the f*** up and settle down will you! Your little friend will be back with us in a few days” “Nik, No!” She struck him again in an attempt to get him to listen “Woman! Hit me again and you’ll be f***ing sorry! I’ll fix it I always do!”
