Prologue
3rd POV
“On your position people, get ready the president is coming in.” The voice rang through the device attached to their ears. “Remember some of the bodyguards are the ex-members, they have betrayed us don’t hesitate to give them no mercy.” The voice added.
“Yes sir.” They simultaneously agreed.
“There he is, Sea approach him, greet him, make sure he is distracted, then well work with the rest.” The girl obeying the voice approached the President, taking two champagnes from the tray and strode towards him.
“Good evening Mr. President, care to have a drink with me?” She stretched her hand but was stopped by the bodyguards being overly cautious, not wanting to get the President be poisoned in front of them, failing their only job.
“You guys don’t think I will poison the President, do you?” Sea questioning the bodyguards.
“It’s okay, it’s a party everyone should have drink at least one.” The President took the drink from Sea’s hand and took a sip from it. “See, it’s okay.” The President said making his bodyguards verifying it's alright.
“Right, I heard this is a Roederer from 1996, almost cost 1000 euro per bottle. This party sure is for you Mr. President.” Sea commented while taking a sip, savoring the liquid.
“Get out of there Sea. These amateurs f****d up. Get out of there immediately, do not go to the HQ, lets decide the place once they are out of our tails.” Sea tucked her hair behind her ear but secretly sent a morse code, ’Roger’.
Readying herself to leave and make some excuses, the lights suddenly went down, and gunshots were heard from afar, yells were also heard, and Sea found herself inside the barricade of bodyguards together with the President.
Acting like she knew nothing, she acted confused and scared. “What’s happening?”
One of the securities said, “There has been seen that someone messed with the electrical room, we better evacuate Mr. President they could have been terrorist.”
“What? But this is one of the most secured places, the security is on par with banks.” Sea still acting bewildered.
“All we can do is to evacuate for now and hide until we’re safe.” The President said, crouching a little, fast walking together convoy.
“We shall go to your room Mr. President, it has the highest security, we can stay there until we have checked it is all good.” This person is the Colonel, Sea knew she is in a pinch, so she signaled her team to help her through morse code.
*Bang
Shots of gun were heard getting closer and closer, the guards readied their guns, and then an explosion was heard.
Though it is not as powerful as the regular grenade, it was still able to mess the formation of the guards, and expose the vulnerable President.
They immediately went on their feet but a group was approaching them and shot hundreds of bullet.
The bullets pierce through some of the guards and though the President was shot multiple times, the wounds all missed the vital parts, almost half of the escorts was already drop dead, that all they could do was to protect themselves, pray for the miracle to happen, so that they could survive this battle.
They retreated, together with the bloodied President leaving the guards who has dropped dead, all they know now is that, they are a hero for risking their life to protect the leader of their country.
The guards who are left alive is composing theirselves trying not to cry, for the friends they have left because of the duty they are on now.
But in the pile of the uniformed personel a girl in red dress, that was once mint green, coughed blood trying to take deep breaths and trying not to scream from all the pains she has accumulated from the shots.
Sea's POV
*Bang
My body dropped, everything happened in slow motion and I knew then that later on my heart would completely stop, I'm ready to accept it, but something inside me, still wanted to live even though I know that I don't deserve it.
So, whoever's out there that is watching me if you have the ability to give me another life can you give it to me?
I promise that I will do anything, whether it's good or bad let me live the life given to me for one last time.
'You better do anything, don't go back to your word, I'm giving you a chance cause they won't'.
I saw the light and a hand, I reached to the hand and...

“Here we have gathered around today mourn for the people who have passed unfortunately on the terrorist attack. Here in front of you is the heroes that have risked their life to protect the President of our country. Today we shall give them a ceremony that is befitting to their titles, Heroes.” The Priest said, the weeping has grown louder and louder knowing the heroes who is their family, will now be going to a paradise where they will be forever happy. “Together with these heroes we shall also honor the death of our very own President, for he also has become a hero after protecting a lot of civilians...”
“These assholes, still sucking up to him even though he’s already dead, still making him shine more than the real saviors.” Someone from afar stated.
*In another place
“Here lies in front of you, Cassiopeia Hera Solace also known as ‘Peia’ and ‘Sea’ during missions, today we honor her death for risking her life for probably the most dangerous mission anyone in the assassination team could ever do.” A person on the podium expressing her gratitude on the woman who is inside the casket.
“This is all because of those amateurs,” They eyed the battered people on the side clearly feeling remorse “We lost such an amazing killing machine.”
“Shut the f**k up!” The woman on the podium roared at them. “Can we at least the dead here?!” She ordered.
They quieted down and that’s how Cassiopeia Hera Solace’s life ended in this world.
