Hi everyone! This is just the prologue, so it's short, but I'll put up one or two more chapters before I decide on continuing or not since you can't exactly give a great review with only a little of this fan fiction, right? Anyways, reviews will determine whether I continue or not. So review, because I want to keep writing this, but I want feed back on it too!

Prologue

I hear them… the echoes…

Every moment, I felt as if I was being watched, and I could hear the quiet footsteps that seemed to follow me wherever I went. The sound echoed in my mind, and it drove me insane, for every time I turned around to see who was following me—I saw nothing…

I thought I was finally losing it. I thought that I had finally obtained a conscience and that guilt had overcome me. However, that was not the reason…

God was following me…

That was the conclusion I had come to. I had come to that because every night I would pretend to be God, and supposedly give divine punishment to those who deserved it as the villagers said. They actually believed that God was punishing the sinners, and so blindly ignored the possibility that a person could be committing crimes such as the ones I had committed.

How they had ever gotten the idea of God was beyond me. I did not intend for anything of the sort to happen. I just killed for the sheer thrill of it. That was how I lived my life. As an assassin who worked for herself and the fake ‘God’ of the village.

In the beginning, whenever I killed someone, I felt like I was drowning in the blood of victims. Drowning in blackish red liquid that had already been cooled by the night's frigid air. I felt like I wanted to kill myself, so I could end the pain, but I never did. I was not strong enough to do it. No matter what I did, I was still afraid to take my own life, even if it cut my suffering short. I just could not kill myself, so instead, I kept on killing. It was my distraction, my drug.

However, I could not stop killing, for I had already gotten myself in far too deep. Therefore, I continued to kill, and tried to see how far I could go, to try and push myself beyond my limits. But as I thought that, there was one thought that did not cross my mind. That one thing people try to tell you as a warning...

'Limits are not meant to be broken...'

I wanted to break my limit though, but in the process, I broke myself...
