I was walking down the sidewalk. I couldn't sleep. This was a normal for me.


This time was different. I was grabbed. It was this girl and I. Even in the darkness of 2 AM, you could tell she had pale skin and long brown hair. She pulled out a gun.


"Why are you doing this?" I stuttered. "I've been paid. I'm sorry. This is the only way my family can survive." I felt sad for the girl. Had she already been paid? I wasn't really sure if I was immortal for sure.


"I'm sorry." She whispers again.


She pulled the trigger.


I stumble back, but no bullet wound.


"What?" A girl whispers. This girl was different. She was hovering over the girl who just attempted to kill me.


"Are you? Are you? Immortal?" I couldn't tell her. I can't. I ran. I found the safest spot there could be. I saw a figure approach me.


"Brie?" It was Straub. Why was he here? "What's up?"


I explained everything. From the girls to now.


He sighs. "Okay. Let's fix this."


"I'm sorry." I whisper.


"Every accident happens for a reason, but this wasn't a accident."
