“W...why? Is this happening to me?”

I ask that question knowing full well the reason this is happening as I stare at the man in suit slowly walking up to me.

“Sorry this is nothing personal just doing my job here.” the man in the suit said to me.

He was now close to me as I could see the black shoes he was wearing. I slowly brought my head up to see him pointing his gun at my face.

 I was on my knees with one hand covering the battle wound in my stomach.

That wound was bleeding no stop as I feel my blood leaving my body and this pain was something I never felt before      

“Can… can I at least ask who hired you to kill me,” I asked.

I wasn’t sure this man in the suit was going to tell me or of the fact he was a little surprised by the question I asked him.

Maybe this man thought I was going to beg him for my life by offering more money to whoever paid him.

“I can’t give you the name of my client, but I can give you a clue that there are three people who never wanted you to exist.”

“Ah I see.” right after I said that the man in the suit pulls the trigger making everything go dark for me 

My name is Richard Cross or should I say I thought you wanted to know that since you're here to read my story on the new life I am going to play.

------------------------------------

A woman cried in pain on a cold night with the full moon out.

She was in a room located in a castle where the woman in agony pain lay on her back on a bed with her leg spread open.

She was in a state of ready to give birth by the size of her stomach.

There were three other people inside the room, two were maids with one wiping the sweat off her with a towel and the other holding her hand.

The third person was the doctor helping her with the delivery of the baby.

“Alright you are doing good, keep pushing my dear as I am sure the child is coming out soon.” the doctor tells her.

The woman listens to the doctor as she does her best to push while dealing with the pain.

Outside of the castle walls where two guards keeping watch can hear her.

“Oh man, I am glad I was born a male.” A young guard said.

“All men are glad to be born male, but don’t forget we men hold the seed and are responsible for where we plant it if you are ready to be a father.”

An older guard told the young guard as the two of them were paired to be on watch together.

“Yeah you don’t have to tell me, I am not planning on being one anytime soon.”

“You say that now, but your young and most likely to fuck up one day if careless.” the old guard laughed after saying that.

“Very funny you ass, but still I am shocked that the queen is going to give birth to another child.”

“What?!.” the old guard was surprised to hear that he yelled out loud.

“Hey what the hell! Did I say something wrong?”

“Don’t tell me you don’t know.”

“Know what.” the young guard asks while the old guard looks at him then shakes his head.

“Listen here that the woman crying out in pain is not the Queen that gave birth, but the king's mistress who is about to birth the man and his child.”

“No way! You gotta be kidding me.”

The old guard shakes his head then speaks again.

“Haven’t you heard of the rumors that are going around our kingdom about the king having a mistress?”

“Well I have heard, but never paid much attention to it as I was paying attention to something more important.”

“Yeah like between the legs of a woman from the brothels.” the old guard said, making the younger guard embarrassed.

“Anyway it is true he has a mistress who has been spending time with her then with the queen and now he is going to be a father again as the king has gotten her pregnant.”

“Wow, I wonder if the Queen knows about this because if she does, I can guess she is pretty pissed about this.”

“Of course the Queen is not happy about her husband knocking up another woman.”

The two guards turn their heads in the direction of this third voice.

“Captain!!.” Both of them yelled out as they saw him walking his way to them.

“The two of you should be careful when talking about such a subject. You're lucky I was the one who heard the two of you talking about this. If it was someone else you two would be put to death if the king or Queen found out.”

The two guards became scared of such a thing that was to happen to them.

“Calm yourself you two there is no need to be scared now as you're safe to talk about it since there is no one else but me to hear.”

The two let out a sigh of relief after hearing their captain say that.

“So captain, did you know about the king having a mistress?” the young guard asked.

“I knew from the start when the king took an interest in this maid.”

“A maid, I see.” the younger said, nodding his head.

“Who could blame the man, I mean have you seen the maid working in the castle lovely beauties.”

The old guard foolishly smiled to himself thinking about the maids in a prevented way.

“It not as simple as that you two dumbass, I mean sure a man like who rules a kingdom could have any women from within the castle to the town, But I knew this man after all the years ruling he has never thought of taking a mistress until meeting this woman who hasn’t worked long as a maid here.”

“Maybe Captain the king just couldn’t take it anymore and decided to take a mistress, I mean being king could be a tough role to play.”

The young guard said while the old guard agreed with him.

“Well, it doesn’t matter because jobs are going to get a whole lot tougher.”

The captain then let out a sigh after saying that.

“What do you mean captain?” the young guard asked.

Captain was silent for a minute thinking before speaking again.

“No it does not matter right now.” the captain said as the two before him wanted to know, but did not press the man as they did not want to anger him.

Then all of sudden everything began to turn bright red as all three of these men looked up to the sky.

They were all shocked to see that the moon was no longer showing its neutral color, but red like the sky was going to rain down blood.

“How could there be a red moon?”

The captain and the man behind him couldn’t believe that a red moon appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the night.
