All through out the week our daily routine remained the same .

Tomorrow was Hazel's birthday, she was so excited about it and I didn't want to disappoint her, I decided to do some last minute shopping .

I wasn't throwing a party or anything like that, all I wanted was for the two of us to spend the whole day together having fun, that would be great.

I searched around the grocery store not really sure of what else to get

"Gracie?" I heard a familiar voice spoke from behind me, I turned around at the direction of the voice as we both stared at each other in surprise. .

Chapter FORTY FOUR

"It was all a mistake!Just give me one more chance I'll rectify them right away"

I ran a finger over my temple massaging them slowly.

I've been listening to this traitors ranting for some time now , it was always like this, they always tried to steal from us and always come up with the same story.

To be given a second chance to rectify their mistakes.

Too bad second chances weren't in anywhere in my fucked up world.They always paid with their lives for their greedy mistakes, some worse than the others depending on my mood .

I stared emotionless at his bleeding pleading form, I didn't even feel the littlest twinge of pity , I wasn't feeling angry either,

In fact I felt absolutely nothing .

Everything inside of me was just a blank shade of darkness .

Not since after she....

"Have mercy!,please just give me one more chance !I swear I'll make up for everything!"

The corners of my lips twitched sadistically at his words , i found it funny when they plead for mercy, that was one of the many good things I was void of, not especially for these bastards who betrayed my trust .

my fingers tightened around the trigger , his gaze widened in terror, he practically peed his pants when I straightened to full height.

"You already had your chance , but you messed it up big time Rick." I stated coldly staring down at him, my gaze caught on to something just a few feet below him.

It was some photograph, I straightened down to scoop it up.It was a photo of him and two other females , one older than the other, I assumed them to be his wife and daughter .

I stared back to him, it looked like he'd been staring at them for the final time, he wasn't wrong about that though.

I stared intently at the picture in a dazelike state , not just at anyone but at the daughter who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen .

"She's pretty " I murmured aloud disregarding the blatant look of fear on his face

Long Brown hair....A pair of silvery gray eyes and two wide dimples.

She almost looked like her...

Almost.

It made my throat clogged painfully tight , I swallowed tightly and crunched it up in a fist.
