1 .....Are You Ready For It?

Bloodstains spilled on the cold ground. Under the cool breeze of Ulcon Mountains glaciers, I saw the footprints in the white of the snow.

A knife in my heart couldn't slow me down, I was born of the Ice and snow with the winter's night silence would be calling. I went down off for the coldest war the palm of my hands was dripping blood, the attack that I didn't see coming.

Ava holds her breath for another day; her gentle eyes only carried sorrow and pain. There wasn't a hint of light reflecting through as she stared at her Hunter's bodies before her eyes: Blood is survival but no one will break me, their lives meant everything to me."

Roman distance sharp tones echoed in my head. "The Nova clan army is marching through the night, We should leave?"

Ava turned around to overlook the snowy mountains towards the starry night sky, then turned around to her the ones that she once called the family "Until we meet again" she sighed a longing breath that she was still alive she would kill while always on the verge of life and death that she could never escape. There wasn't even a peaceful day she took and took many lives training day in and night to become the commander she is, death wakes you up it doesn't shut you down.

While walking away, Ava took out a little bottle filled with blood that she toyed with on the tips of her fingers in front of Roman: "I finally have it?"

Ava's eyes lit up and a smirk crossed her face, the expression-filled with satisfaction.

She keeps her eyes open all the time for the item she yearned for. She knew the radiance that Roman would have in his eyes the final piece that could bring me to the truth.

"The blood of a Nova? The endless truth of finding out how The Nova have eternal powers, Can I see it up close?" Roman stopped behind her, she turned around with a faint feeling in her chest.

"When you were a child your mother didn't care about you she always told you that would amount to nothing, Your mother killed your father right in front of you, and ever since that day you vowed that love was a weakness, Then when your mother died five years ago you didn't shed a tear but instead touched her cold body. Aken held her hand with tears coming down his eyes. " I always took care of you, raised you, and made you the commander trained you until the palm of your hands bleeds."

" I know" she gently wiped the tears away from his cheeks "We have everything We always wanted "

As she handed him the bottle of blood that was nestled in her hand she had a blissful smile.

She turned away from him and remembered the time where all she could hear was her family war in the immense was where she had happy memories across the hill upon the blue lake my father once told me before he died don't you worry child there is more to this world than just surviving. Roman found her when the war ended everything was burned to the ground but she was the one that was left standing, he trained her every hour of every day to become a machine instead of a human being. He gave her a new life that was never meant to be hers she learned how to play the game time and time again enemies have fallen to the blade of her sword as her heart is gold and her hands are cold….All of a sudden she knew he couldn't be trusted as the days awaited her end was near as the bitter pain filled her body.

Her body stiffened as she pushed Roman away and looked down.

A sharp knife had pierced through her back. She wasn't surprised everyone wanted The Nova blood but no one could get it without dying. As crushing blood flowed out from the knife wound through her battle armor everything inside of her was screaming, her body dropped to the ground wet blood dripping out from her back. The snow was soft and it felt as the deeper it sinks it turns to a rich red.

A figure shadow stood in front of her; it was Roman looking at her with no remorse. His intention was to aim to kill me. I could have been who you could have trusted, but what was it then.

"Why…..you were one of my trusted friends" She stumbled a moan as her breath was cold in the night air.

Roman coldly laughed out loud that was sinking through her soul. "You made me do this, I made you into this killer but not anymore you should have listened to me when you had the chance now I'm saving you from yourself."

Listening to him, her thoughts were spinning through her head Layla told her that one person was plotting against her trying to take her throne but she couldn't figure out who. She moved one of her arms as the thought of her loved one she loved would kill her for his own motives.

"You bastard how could you do this to me" sighing as her voice was cracking through each breath.

"I'm sorry Ava I had to go through with it, This blood is what's going to make me one of them with eternal powers greater than anything in this world, I'm doing this because I want the best for you." Roman looked at the bottle with only greed in his eyes.

No, he doesn't no one knows what is best for me but he always made me play the fool. All his lies are in the dark. You made me the person I am but I could never kill you if I had the chance to maybe that makes me weak.

"you never die do you" he grabbed my hair and twisted it in his hand she screamed as her back flowed more blood.

" No, it's hard to kill me" she closed her eyes as the pain became unbearable.

Roman got on top of her as she screamed with pain as he put his finger in her wounded back "you're so selfish."

she coughed up blood with agony as he stood up without saying another word, Roman walked away.

Ava all the strength she had left to get up, clenched her hands in the snow as she stood up with every ounce of her body was shaking.

she had to get back to the rest of her people on Evermore or all the deaths would be for nothing.

The snow fell on the ground upon her with her red lips and rosy cheeks holding the last of her breath. She felt someone picking her body from the snow as her eyes went dark. She could hear the raging winds beating against her body.
