The headlights of the truck grew brighter and larger but Ty was still frozen. Her first mission- her first real mission and she blew it. The enforcer was well aware that everyone had their ‘death days’ but she didn’t expect her to be so earlier. She was only in her twenties- she had so much she thought she’d live for.
Her hand made the slightest twitch, making her realize this was it.
Damn, this- Or, at least she thought this was it. Before she could finish her internal monologue- well, before she could start it, something tackled her to the ground. The second time was no less painful than the first.
At first, Ty couldn’t register what happened. She just knew the wind was knocked out of her and the sounds of the truck crashing followed. Then she heard a voice. While she coughed and caught her breath, she realized that voice was none other than the very person she was trying to capture. Her head was still throbbing, but she managed to reel back and away from the guy to put space in between them.
Suddenly, everything sank in.
’He saved me...He saved me!?’ While the news would have been great to hear, Ty knew what dreaded after.
“What did you do!?” Her voice rose in anger and panic. Her gun wasn’t in arms distance so instead, she leapt at the man, expertly pinning him to the ground.
“Are you insane?! Do you know what you just did!?” She should have been grateful…
The cosmos didn’t take long in realizing that the fate of one person wasn’t dealt with in proper. That one little slip up by the universe didn’t go amiss though. It didn’t take long for Ty to feel the prickling sensation go up her arm causing her to pull away from the guy she had just pinned down. Fortunately, she managed to get closer to her gun as well. Ty raised her sleeve and watched in horror as that familiar
‘Cursed’ symbol, appeared on her upper arm.
“Shit, shit, shit…” She mumbled to herself and tried to rub it off, knowing that it would be a failure. What kind of punishment was this!? She was a hunter with the sole purpose of
hunting down Cursed ones and now she was one!?
Everyone had their time and going against it was testing the laws of the universe- it was going against the law. Ty reached for her gun and pointed it at the man who did save her, but also single handedly ruined her career.
But for some reason...she couldn’t shoot him.
Instead, she tossed her gun to the side and began taking off her bulletproof vest.
“I suggest you keep running… By the sounds of it, the rest of my task force will be here soon.” Ty stood. If she was going to go out as a Cursed one she would go out with her honor and dignity still intact.
Sure enough, sirens were blaring in the distance and with a reluctance, Ty prepared to give herself up to her own crew.
