Chapter Sixteen

Ghost

Twelve hours, that's all I have left on this earth Twelve hours I' Avery I know Vidal won't physically hurt her But I know nothin' in her life is ever going to be the saain

I knew the moment she told me who she really was that I should've walked away for both our sakes I'd been lying to the only faht to hateI would lose the away

Trouble is, I couldn't There was so about Avery Vidal that drewto do with the beautiful soul she is

It's funny how life works Never thought I'd fall in love Used to laugh at irl and made her his

What could ive his heart away like that?

Skeptical maybe But I never had love in rew up in a care home, my parents died when I was just a few days old Killed by ice on the road Their car crashed into a building and killed them instantly I was in the backseat of the car and to this day no one kno I survived

My whole childhood was spent being pushed from foster home to foster home, and then back to the care ho I was a difficult child, tooTruth is, no one really tried with me They'd decided I was a waste of space and that was that

I, Daniel Niccolo Vitali, have always been a waste of space

At least that's what I thought

I met the Snakes when I was nineteen I had a room in a shitty shared house in Stalsville, which is a shitty ser bar, ht I ht outside, a couple of big bikers were beating the shit outta three men None of the ht to me

My boss warned me to mind my own business, bikers like them would kill me soon as look at et a closer look I was a cocky son of a bitch, wasn't scared of anything I'd been fighting, literally and metaphorically, onna frighten me Besides, seemed no one even noticed me

Won't lie, hadn't ever seencollar length hair, short beard, looked like he'd been in a fair few fights in his time Looked to be in his early-thirties

The other guy looked like he belonged on the dath hair too, but his hair was choppy He was clean-shaven, had intense green eyes Even in the street light, I could see that I laughed atthemselves at his feet

I watched with fascination froed the three er joint I worked in and the pizza place next to it I followed I wasn't surprised to see both bikers shoot dead two of thethe shit out of Should've freaked me out, but it didn't Somethin' inside of me churned with excitement

I saw the third guy standing behind the bikers after dragging hiun from his ankle

Why hadn't he pulled it before now?

I had no clue, didn't care

Didn't even care o men had just been killed

Kind of wondered why no one had seen or heardthem shamelessly

The third guy pointed his gun at the biggest biker as both turned around to face hionna kill them both Neither biker cared, both knew they'd puer

Proble like crazy I wanted in on the action Never wanted anything erous, but I didn't care, I wanted to feel so Anything

Keeping to the shadows, I un I had no idea if anyone had heardaround unheard Learned at a very young age how to sneak around to get what I wanted without being caught

I was just centiuns trained on him, and I had no clue who he was or what he'd done to deserve death, but I i bad For all, I knew these bikers were attackin' these men just because

But you knohat? Right then, I didn't care Everything I'd been through in er I felt came to a head, and I didn't care at thatmyself

Like souy, grabbed his throat with one hand – which was easy to do when I was at least four inches taller – and the hand he held the gun with rabbed his hand and pointed the gun at his own head, pressedhis head, and hiround with a thud

Two seconds of time is all it took for me to become a killer
