Avenged

Keira returned from another rough day. She looked like she had just bathed in a tub of dead bodies. Blood splatter covered her face. Pieces of brain matter and entrails were entangled in her hair. Her blond hair was streaked with crimson where blood droplets landed near the top of her head and looked for escape at the bottom. Being a vigilante has been a tough job, but it needed to be done.

Keira started a fire to warm up the cold house. Staring off into the hearth, "It's finally done mother," Keira said as tears rolled down her cheek, "I have avenged you."

Keira removed her leather jerkin and threw it into the yellow and crimson flames. "It's finally over," she sighed, with relief, as she watched the leather begin curling.
