The Awakening

Hate. That was all that was going through my mind as I looked at my best friends that I knew for 10 years as they stabbed and mocked me. I was losing blood at a fast pace and I was starting to lose consciousness as everything was starting to turn black. 'Fuck' I cursed in my head as I was coughing blood out. 'I'm going to die' I thought. I looked up at my best friends that betrayed and killed me, as they all start to spit on my face and set me on fire. As they throw the match at me I take one last look at them as they turn their backs to me and kick me off the cliff that we are on, that I was standing on while looking at the stars a while ago. As I tumbled down the mountain with my body on fire screaming in my mind. As I was nearing a big rock, I close my eyes waiting for my end.

Shooting out of my bed and as I wake up from my dream drenched in sweat. Taking my blanket off and getting out of bed and going to the bathroom to look at myself and to splash cold water on my face to help wake myself up before my daily morning run. After I wake myself up somewhat, I get dressed and go outside to run my normal 5 miles. My name is Alex, 18 and I am a senior in high school and live with my sister in one of our parent's house who are currently in Japan on a business trip. My sister, Rose who is the same age as me and goes to the same school as me. As I was running I was thinking about my dream and what it meant since I had the same dream that I had today yesterday.

A man late for work was speeding down the road as he was exiting his neighborhood at about 80 kph. The man knowing he was going a speed that he wasn't supposed to be going, but didn't care for he was late and this was going to be his third time in a row that he would be late and he could possibly lose his job if he was late again. Not paying much attention to what he was doing he forgets to step on the brakes as he is turning a corner and lost control over the car. As the car was too hard to control the car he skids across the road and with the man's foot still on the petal out of the confusion and recklessness. The car skids over the curb on the opposite side of the road, the car is now on the sidewalk where a boy coincidentally a guy named Alex is running on. As the car is nearing Alex the driver starts screaming and trying to tell the guy in front of the guy to move quickly.

Alex, still thinking about his dream and what it meant when in the dream that it always ends in the same way with Alex dying and getting kicked off the edge of the cliff while on fire. As Alex was thinking about the dream a car skids around a corner, but Alex too deep in his thoughts is unable to see the car as it nears him. As it nears him coming closer and closer until it is about 5 meters away from him he notices the car and not able to move from the shock of the car coming towards him all he could do was say out loud "OH SHIT!!". That was all that was heard before he was hit, and everything went black as he lost his consciousness. A mysterious soul suddenly takes over Alex's body as it pushes down the other soul. When the mysterious and suddenly strong soul push Alex's soul it starts to overtake and conquer Alex's soul.

Waking up in the hospital is the mysterious soul, or person as it fully took over Alex's body. The soul being the most formidable assassin, named 'The Reaper' or the 'Demon's Shadow',named by the people who saw him in action and lived, but most known as 'The Assassin God' receiving that name after he entered the Immortal's world as he was famous as the best assassin. As no one know his real name he was always called those three nicknames as if you ever learned of his name you would be 6 feet under in less than a single breath as it was rumored. He was feared by the most powerful in the Immortal world as they knew he had a success rate of 100 percent and if they were to anger him then they would just be giving themselves to King Yama.
