Friday 26th October,   

We moved to America, and my name became well known to the world. Everyone thought I had committed suicide after finding many of my things in the river.

My father was on the news crying, and my heart like everything else broke. Debbie would always be evil like that when I would walk in to get ready for training having it on blast. Nia and Annaya would always turn it off and give her stern glare. She would look at me with a fake sympathetic smile.

It had been like 2 weeks in that period of time, I hadn't eaten much, and because of this, I had lost a lot of weight. I trained all day to try to take my mind of everything. Today, Debbie was watching a soap show and for the first time in 2 weeks, everyone was home and sat in the living room.

They all seemed to be going about their day when I walked past and filled up my water bottle, as I was passing Nia stopped me. "Hey Ang," She smiled.

"Morning," I replied.

"So I want to go shopping today, come with me?" She asked hopefully.

"Ummm, I don't really want to go out today," I said looking at the windows.

"Okay, next time." She smiled.

Then next was Annaya's turn " Can we go for lunch later Lilith?" She asked.

"I'm not hungry, can we have a rain check please A?" I replied. I had gotten close with the two in a short period of time. They always had my back, but I still couldn't open up to them.

"You're not having breakfast?" Lucas asked confused. It had been the first time the boys were home before dinner.

"She doesn't eat breakfast or lunch," Nia replied.

"Huh? That can't be right, she doesn't eat dinner either..." Lucas' eyes widened and as did Nia's and Annaya's.

"So you basically haven't had a whole meal on at least two weeks," Annaya yelled. " And the fruits you eat don't count."

I didn't reply. They were right I didn't eat any meals, and it's not that I didn't want to, it's that I couldn't stomach it. I used to have dinner most days, but after my mom's passing, I couldn't stomach anything. "Actually, Nia I'll come shopping with you I think I need fresh air even though I don't want it. Or is that offer over?" I asked.

"No let's go, Annaya come with us." Annaya nodded and I quickly went to change before the subject of my eating habits was brought back to light.

I changed into some white top, some ripped jeans and my green jacket. I walked downstairs to Debbie kicking up a fuss "Come on Elijah take me on a date please." She pouted.

Nia rolled her eyes, during the time I had been there I had found no-one except Elijah was fond of Debbie. In my eyes, she was a high-class bitch but she wasn't the worst person I had ever met.

I scanned myself in the mirror, my figure had gotten slimmer. I had defiantly got more muscle on me, but the bags under my eyes were more evident than ever.  My hair had become a frizzy mess which always had to be down so it looked decent. My face looked intimidating, and my posture seemed like the people you would avoid talking top out of fear.

I looked in the mirror, and I saw my old self smiling at me before it faded. The difference was unbelievable. At that moment I knew Angel was practically dead. Nia and Annaya stood next to me observing me and I turned to them shaking myself out of my thoughts.

*********************************************************************************************

Shopping was a nice breather, I helped Annaya and Nia pick out their outfits, that's as close you could get to my old self I could get. We ended up shopping for the longest time until around dinner time.

"We're here," Nia yelled. "Eli look at all my outfits they are amazing."

"Yes they are, and a real mix in there." He smiled at her.

"Ang helped us choose them out if the party girl still knows her stuff." She smiled.

Party girl echoed in my head, that is how I was going to remembered. The girl who got cheated on by her man not long after her mom died that would be my legacy. I felt all the feelings of ease I had built in the past few hours came flooding back out like a waterfall.

The air shifted as if everyone noticed my shift in emotions. "Gonna go work out," I said to Annaya and Nia while hugging them.

"What about dinner?" Annaya asked.

"You want me to help you cook?" I asked.

"No... Actually yes we want to try your cooking." Nia smiled.

"Sure,"

"You need help?" Nia asked.

"No thanks."

"You need help finding out where everything is?" Brandon asked.

"No thank you, I'll figure it out as I go along." I walked into the kitchen and immediately found where the pots and pans were, and got all the ingredients to make the white sauce. I put my headphones in and my playlist began to play.

I then, got all the ingredients my mom's lasagne, I felt like making it, so I could feel a lot closer to her. This was the first dish she had taught me to cook since it was my favourite. As I put my masterpiece in the oven, after sprinkling the grated cheese on top, I smiled to myself and began to wash up everything while I waited for the timer to go off. Just as I finished washing up, the timer went off and I turned to see Axel looking at me confused.

"Lilith you know we have a dishwasher?" He asked.

"I didn't know that, but I still would have done it by hand. I guess I'm old fashioned." I shrugged. I grabbed 7 plates and began to cut the portions from the 2 dishes of lasagne I had made. One by one I set the plates on the table.

"Dinner's on the table hope you enjoy," I said before rushing out to my room.

I looked at the family picture on my bedside table, and tears began to fall. I couldn't hold them in, but I also couldn't find it in me to cry. After counting to 10, I was whipping away my tears. I decided to go out for a run, only to realise I left my water bottle in the kitchen.

Everyone was sat in the living room they had moved their dinner. Debbie smiled at me, and I stood there confused "Lilith this is beautiful where did you get the recipe from?" She asked.

"My mom," I smiled. "I'll write down the recipe later." I took my water bottle "I feel like going for a run."

"Okay but it's getting dark, here." Elijah threw a gun at my feet. I picked it up, and put it in my back pocket and tied my jacket around my waste.

"Thanks, I'll bring it back later," I said.

"Keep it." He replied bluntly. I nodded and put on my headphones. Elijah's gang was called the Lions: since it was the strongest gang it was always under attack and the tattoo, lion, on my shoulder was part of my new profound identity.

My run went on for an hour before I turned to go back realising that it was dark I began to run back. Knowing this fact, I ran at a faster pace rather than a slow jog. Footsteps echoed after me, I continued to run. Maybe I was being paranoid. But as the footsteps continued I ran to an alleyway. 

"Hello, sweetheart what's a pretty little thing like you doing out so late?" He asked walking towards me. He had a muscular figure with some gold teeth to match the chain on his neck.

"Just on a night jog didn't realise I was being followed." I smiled.

"You seem like a tough girl." He smiled evilly. With a whistle, I was being surrounded by 3 other men. I pulled the gun out of my back pocket. Without hesitation, I cocked the gun and shot at the guy who was inches away. He fell to the floor coughing violently his blood staining my jeans.

"Oops, I didn't mean to kill him." I said with a smirk "But now it's started let's ..." My sentence was cut short as the second guy lunged on top of me with a struggle I pulled the trigger and is blood splatter all over my white top. "Fuck it's stained, how am I gonna get that out? It was my favourite top as well," I said pissed pushing his body away from me.

The third guy was fearing for his life as I took a step forward he took a step back. "I can let you run away, just go." He looked at his boss and ran away though I'm sure he would be killed anyway just a feeling.

The boss was still smiling, "Bitch I have one of those two." He smiled pulling out his gun. "I just let you kill them cause if they're low enough to be killed by the enemy then let them rest."

"What can I say, us lions are out for blood." I smiled. 

"Our boss is going to take you all down, don't you worry about it." He smiled evilly.

"Sure sure what's your gang name then so I can know the gang who killed me," I said sarcastically. 

"The Cheetahs sweetheart any last w.." With that, I shot him in the head and he fell to the floor his blood flowing like a volcano; I took his gun from his lifeless body and put it in my pocket as well as mine.

Might as well start a collection right?

I ran home making sure not to be seen.  I walked into the living room and everyone looked at me shocked. "Angel are you okay are you hurt?" Nia asked.

"No, but my favourite outfit is stained," I said running my fingers through my hair.

"Did you get into a fight?" Brandon asked.

"Something like that, I got attacked by 4 people in the gang, the Cheetas, though one ran away I kinda regret not shooting him in the head. He's probably describing me to his main boss." I sighed feeling frustrated.

"So you killed 3 people tonight?" Elijah asked. I nodded trying to read him. Everyone else seemed shocked, but he seemed to remain neutral.

"What did you do with the bodies?" He asked further.

"Nothing, I left them there to do rot or whatever I killed them in an alleyway far away from security cameras I would have drawn suspicion to myself if I had attempted to move 3 big ass bodies," I said pulling out gold teeth's gun and looking at it." Do the initials D.B seem familiar?" I said reading out what was written. 

Annaya took the gun. "Yes, that's the Cheetahs boss right-hand-man and you killed him." She said with wide eyes. "He's done so much shit to our gang and you killed him with ease." 

"It was luck, he was a chatterbox. Killed him mid-sentence," I replied." Annaya can I have that back please?"

"Sure, but why?" She said handing it back.

"I just want it as a souvenir." I smiled. "Well, I need to shower," I walked up the stairs and looked in my mirror, I was stained head to toe. 

My first kill!

 I felt weird, not because I felt bad but because it felt like it was a normal thing like killing was part of my everyday routine. That's when I knew, every aspect of my life was fucked up.

Unbelievable? I think not.
