WHAT: Jinx is finally going to try to take the butler down.
WHERE: A random street in neutral territory.
WHEN: Late evening, day 70
Calling her pissed would have been an understatement. Calling the young assassin a psychopath would have been much more accurate. The sun had set long ago but she continued to wear her violet tinted sunglasses. Behind them, her eyes were glowing a brilliant pink, her temper losing control as much as her powers were. Walking down the center of the road, everything around her was shattering, twisting, breaking. Every footstep the took, the tar streets broke apart behind her. The windows of cars parked on the side of the streets erupted into a spiderweb of cracks. Ahead of her, the streetlights flickered, and as soon as she passed them, the bulbs shattered with an unnatural surge of energy.
Jinx had promised the man she loved that she would return to him by sunrise. He still did not know what a monster she was, nor did the man she looked up to like her own father. They thought she was just a bad kid from the streets who wanted to turn around her life. it was a lot more complicated than that. They had taken in a Monacello assassin, a girl who had killed more people than she could count without hesitation. Killing a man did not hinder her in any way, it did not make her feel guilt and she could never remember their twisted faces as they died. In moment like those, her brain disconnected from reality. Maybe she could blame the shock therapy, or it could be the fault of her twisted childhood, but it was useless to try and escape the blame. Although Jinx wanted to change, wanted to stop killing people so she could lead a happy, carefree life... she could not escape the grave she had dug for herself. The only way to be free, to truly love, was to take down every last sonuvabitch who was going to try and stop her.
Drawing her weapon, she stopped and stood in the middle of the street. She was not trying to make a scene, but that was what happened. Jinx was bad luck, good was never an option for her. The girl made sure to surround herself with plenty of weapons: cars, underground water lines, streetlights, buildings. This was neutral territory, so she was not going to slaughter anyone of the Monacello family on their own turf. Maybe this was a terrible idea, or the best one she had in a long while. Whatever it was, the butler needed to die.
The ground around her breaking, her eyes glowing brightly under the sunglasses, she rose her pistol into the air and fired a shot straight up. "Sebastian!" she growled, standing perfectly still. "I know you're here..." she lied with a snarl. Yet part of her knew he was right around a corner, ready to face off, ready to end this once and for all. Sebastian was not going to leave this place alive.
