Chapter 2 Saved

A loud sound woke him up. In the distance, something slowly approaches him. It's been days since he last set foot on land. He had not eaten for over a week until now. If the thing that is approaching is what he thinks that is some sort of a boat, then he will be saved but then if it isn't, then he will die in the middle of nowhere.

It is coming closer and closer and it became very obvious that it is a fishing boat. Then someone on board the boat saw him and he stopped the boat and jumped down immediately to save him.

Once he was safely on board the boat, a doctor come to his aid and had a check on him. Taking off his drenched shirt, revealing his muscular body. He told the doctor of the bullet wound on his back but it showed no sign of any wound.

Was it all a dream or Jesus came to his aid during his sleep and healed his wound. Why is it that Jesus only came to heal him instead to bring him to where he really belong? Maybe it is that he haven't accomplish what he was born to accomplish, which is serving Jesus by killing those who are to be threats to the world no matter anything, even if death himself lies in the path.

For the next few weeks, he stayed on board the Bloody Fang, helping the others on the boat, catching fishes and other seafood. Although he sleeps on a wooden bed and don't have a proper meal every day as there is only biscuits available as their daily catch are to be sold to earn money, he still enjoy very much as the Pheonix will never find him here, so he will no longer be under the command of the four chosen ones.

But then, directly two weeks after he was rescued from the sea his fears finally came to reality......

Chapter 1 Floating.................

Sunlight shone on him. Slowly, he opened his eyes. Finding himself on a beach, shirt drenched with sea water, he struggled to stand to his feet.

Where am I? How did I end up here?

He thought and thought over and over again but still can't find an answer. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his back. He touched his back and felt a few scars on his back. Then, things that happened flashed back.............

To sleep is to die..............
To sleep is to die..............

It has been days since he's been in the sea, floating through the ocean without any food or drinking water. He is slowly losing his consciousness. Then he saw his dead father, standing in the middle of the sea, waving to him.

Am I going to die? Is my father coming to bring me to the other world?

'It's time son, it's time for you to join me. Just stop holding to that broken piece of wood you're holding on to and reach out your hand to me, and you will no longer have pain and worries.'

Slowly, he reaches out his hand to his father. Then he remembered, Rule Number 1, Never ever fail your missions. Even if you failed it, you will have to do it again, until you succeed or that Jesus himself forgives you for your failure and come personally to bring you to the other world, accepting you as one of his followers.

He has failed the mission he was assigned to so he can't leave yet, if he does, Jesus will punish him and send him to hell. He have to finish what he was born to do, serve Jesus in the human world, this is what the Pheonix is all about. All those who are special, will be brought to the Sacred Place, where they are to be educated and taught about Christianity, and to serve Jesus with their life.

And yet, although they all are special, among the whole Pheonix, there is five chosen ones. Four of them are the head of the Pheonix. They sits in a closed chamber, listening to Jesus for the whole day, listening to him, and at the end of the day, they will come out with names of those whom will become threats to the whole world as well as the Pheonix, and assassinate them before they can act out what they are to do.

And the last of them is me. I am one of the chosen one and I am born to serve Jesus as he granted me an ability to kill with just a thought and some of the others call it 'magic'. However, I usually prefer to use guns as I feel more comfortable when using a gun rather than just a thought. I only use my special ability during extreme conditions which have never occurred.

So, I have to live on until Jesus comes to me but it won't be now because if Jesus wants me with him, why didn't he come to me on the first day I was in the sea?

So I still have to live on. I feel sleepy now but i can't sleep, because,

To sleep is to die.......
To sleep is to die.......

PROLOGUE The endless night

The yacht has already started moving, this is when he should act. Moving in the dark, avoiding being spotted and killing people without a single thought, is what he has been trained for the last few year. He had finished more than a dozen of missions like this but this is different. This is the whole Pheonix's only way of survival. If he fails, it will be the end of him and the whole Pheonix.

The yacht has already a distance from the bay and this is when he should act. Moving in the dark, he slowly approaches his victim's room. Pushing open the door, he sees a sleeping man on the bed.

"This is going to be a quick and easy one."

Taking out his gun, he puts it on the head of his victim, preparing his last move, pulling the trigger. Then, he saw a kid. Sleeping soundly on her father's lap. How could he kill the father of a innocent kid? She is just a kid, what will happen to her if her father dies?

This is his only weakness, he can kill anybody but just not kids.

Just as he was hesitating, the man woke. There is only two things he can do now, shoot or run. And the first thing his mind tells him, is RUN. And that's what he did. He ran to the end of the yacht and just as he was about to jump into the sea, he heard a loud 'bang' and a pierce of pain came through him and he dropped into the sea.

Telling himself over and over again,

To sleep is to die......

To sleep is to die......

Then, he lost his consciousness, floating through the sea in the so called endless night......
