Publisher's Note: This story contains vignettes of abuse against a minor. Reader discretion is advised.

For the vast majority—their dreams will prove to be elusive. Regardless of how hard they work to keep them alive.

Which brings us to the curious case of Emma Avancena. A woman, who for all intents and purposes, has never believed in the power of her dreams; having had hers cut short by personal tragedy during her adolescence.

That tragedy turning her from a precocious Texas cowgirl with a fondness for all things "ladybugs" into a detached killing machine, whose entire existence could best be described as indifferent. Regardless of who her targets are or what they’ve done, Avancena excels at doing what she does best:

WHAT SHE’S TOLD!

To her handler, she’s a dream come true. Someone who never asks questions and who always gets the job done. She’s the trigger you’re never afraid to pull. The Provocador.

While similarities between a firearm and Avancena certainly do exist, one stark difference remains the fact that she isn’t an object that is totally devoid of emotions to be used as others see fit. The trigger you’re never afraid to pull. That is until the trigger decides she no longer wants to be.

And she comes without a warning.
