foe our modern nemesis, we envisioned her as 5’6” (167.6cm) feet tall with dark hair and hazel eyes. a curvy, hourglass body with tanned skin and a smattering of freckles. she’s athletic and fit, attributes needed for her occupation. our modern nemesis has an online persona as a socialite who attends lavish parties and spends money like it’s nothing. however, her true self is a cunning assassin who visits her wrath upon those who she thinks deserves it.

I had finally found the one. After so many break-ups, I have been searching for someone to fill that void in my life. On Winder, I had found the sweetest, most charming guy, not to mention he was hot too! His piercing, blue eyes and angelic blond locks drew me in. Today, I decided to invite him for dinner. My eyes were wide and filled with sparkles from the blue light. Oh, how my fingers shook as I was typing. It was like the gods had answered my prayers when he replied...

Now the only thing to do is find out what to wear for tomorrow!

I was pacing anxiously around the house, sweat dripping down my fingers. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door. Narcissus was here! Without a second thought, I pried the door open to see his handsome face. I smiled hopefully as he walked in and strutted towards the ... bedroom? “Aren’t we going to eat supper?” I tilted my head, quickly following after him.

With that, the unthinkable happened. Narcissus clutched my neck and dug his fingernails into my throat, biting my lip. Despite my obvious efforts, he didn’t budge. A quick left hook to his jaw took him off my back for the gods know how long. I sprinted to the kitchen, crying and calling Nemesis.

“Nem, please help me…” My voice was shaky, only able to sneak words out between sobs. Chills ran rampant down my spine.

“I told you. This was a shitty idea,” by the tone of her rough voice, she seemed to already know something had gone terribly wrong.

“Just hurry,” I choked out before hearing frantic kicking against the bedroom door. Never in my life have I felt so powerless. Oh gods, please answer my prayers… again.

I swung myself over the tall black gate trying to be quiet in the middle of the night to get any attention. I pulled out the key Echo had given me. I pushed the door open aggressively then slammed it shut with the back of my shoe. Banging boomed through the house making my blood boil. I needed to be smart about this.

I opened the door in front of me displaying Echo, who was balled in a corner. I hugged her in reassurance. “He’s going to kill us!” Echo whispered, desperation filling her voice. “No, he’s not,” I said before gently nudging her into the closet. I took out the sword, switching off the lights with the edge of the blade. I unlocked the door and hid beside it.

He slowly cracked open the door, the back side slowly getting closer to me. He stepped all the way in looking at the wide open balcony, falling right in my trap. I closed the door with the push of my hand. He turns around with a face of confusion. “Who are you?” He asked. “Demon to some. Angel to others,” I chuckled before swiping my sword across his eye. After watching him stumble about, it was time for the final blow to the head.

SLICE!
