He would keep close tabs on the political leaders through their gate keepers. He spent every penny he had saved up to buy a sniper rifle from the black market. He had to ensure his own safety at all times. First the city, then the state, then the country, and finally, the world. Johnny's plan was to go from small to big. It was a simple plan at first to kill the leaders of warring political parties. He knew that he could not get attached to any of them. He had studied people to the extent that he knew that people could change on a whim. There are only a few amongst the many who he could call "good people." But them too, he didn't really trust. After a couple of months, he had seen the worst of people and had even come across a few good ones. He wanted to convince himself that the world never deserved a second chance. And they both knew that this wasn't a goodbye. One day, after a lot of thinking, Johnny told Amanda that he would have to leave the city for a couple of months. Even Amanda couldn't be trusted with this. The beast inside of him had to be hidden from his beautiful Amanda. It was tough to hide this side of him from Amanda. He knew that in the creation of the end, he would be all alone he had to be. And the next generation ensures the same. They take all precautions to ensure that the end doesn't come in their time. But it's not really something that people wait for patiently. The end of the world is something that all people talk about. Johnny laughed when Amanda broke the new to him. On Amanda's 16th birthday, she got the news that her uncle was skinned alive and made to watch his children get castrated right in front of him by one unknown assailant. Johnny wanted his hate to turn brutal for this man. He could have jumped at the man and helped her. She never even cried for help as she knew there was no one around. She thought she was alone with that animal. He had seen what that animal had done to her. She had never confided about this with anyone, not even Johnny. Her home was like a prison for her at times. And her life was quite similar to his, if not the same. He had always been quite mature for his age. She was a couple of years older to him yet she liked him. He had met Amanda when he was a teenager, may be 13 or so. He knew that he was doing all this for the both of them. His only connection with humanity-Amanda-was proving to be his greatest obstacle. He slowly began his descent into his world of void. The destruction that he had caused had transformed him into something sinister. All she wanted after so long was to just see him once more. Johnny's meeting with Amanda was just as he had expected.
