[Jussi Vuori]-I'm afraid to love you-[02]

I watched as the shell of my mother was lowered into her grave. Her final resting place.
She left me with my broken father. She left an eight year old girl to do her bidding.
It was then that I promised myself I would never love again.
People die. They leave you alone. And if you love them, you're heart is invested in them, and you loose that investment.
I awoke because of the doorbell ringing. I had that dream again. The dream about my mom.
After sixteen years, you'd think it would go away. But noooo. Here I am, at twenty-four years old, still dreaming about my dead mommy.
I stood from my womb-like bed, hearing the doorbell once again. I slid last night's jeans and ran to the door.
"What?" I yelled, buttoning the jeans.
"It's me." I heard Anjilika call from the other side. Anjilika Burnett was one of my favorite people, a complete hard ass who loves bounty hunting.
"What the hell do you want?" I'm a little pissy in the mornings.
"Can't an old friend come by and say hi? Open the door dammit." I sighed and opened the door to see her smiling face. Bitch.
"What do you want?" She laughed and pushed past me to sit on my couch.
"We have a job." Grrrreat.
"Where?"
"Finland."
"What do we do?"
"We kill a band of vampires."
"Isn't the correct term coven?" She laughed.
"They're an actual band. You know, with instruments?" My eyes widened.
"Jesus."
"Exactly what I said."
"When do we go?"
"Today." I laughed bitterly.
"John's not going to like that." John was my business manger at Risings. The man loves money, and will do anything to get it.
"Fuck him. This job is paying well." She caught my attention.
"How well?"
"$50,000 for each member, plus room and board." My mouth hung open.
"How many are there?"
"Five. We each get two, and well, who ever can kill the third gets the money." I nodded.
"Great. Let me pack and call John, we'll be on our way." I knew better than to ask who's giving the money. A lot of people want to stay anonymous, and who are we to take that away.

This is going to be fun.
Hope you like it Katelyn.
