The light coming through the window, who’s laying down beside her, has been looking at her wavy bloody hair for a couple of minutes until he decides to touch her closed eyes, she wakes up and her obsidian eyes meet him once again.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQtcMSPrff
“James…” Anais says moving her hand up and down across the bed looking for something or someone. Feeling nothing she sat up looking at the empty side of the bed until her alarm went off.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrUgABao3a
“I miss him. I should probably text him,” she turned around and was about to take her phone until she sneezed making almost all the mucus in her nose come out.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSFo49mG98
“Great, now I’m sick,” she says with one hand on her face and the other under her chin, preventing herself from making a mess.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DjcKnpKjY
Finishing cleaning that sticky situation she got out of the bathroom rapidly, but her line of thinking stopped the moment she stood out of the bathroom.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvLZEDuLYa
“I was about to do something with my phone… What was it?”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt6KBdmo7g
Remembering that she had forgotten something but not knowing what it is, recently became normal to her and with no intentions of dealing with it at 7 in the morning she continues her day.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqALWjxhrG0
‘I want some tea,’ with this in mind she headed down to the kitchen and prepared some apple tea for herself while thinking about what she had to do for the day, until someone knocked on her front door, she got up and opened the door just to see a 5ft 9 looking blond child and of course she knew who he was.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMGeWo6JzZ
“I finished my service in the military a long time ago and I’m unable to return due to my condition so leave, Ethan,” she says coldly to him while shutting the door on his face with the intention of not letting him even speak.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAsM5BLfwX
“Wait!” He stops the door from closing with his shoe, “I just wanna ask some questions and then I’ll leave quietly.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNo9EJXdTo
She didn’t open the door but rather started to put more pressure, “How many questions?”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfeh0AmFYu
Feeling the pain he responds rapidly, “Three, only three questions.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AXY0DaBW2
“Alright, come in,” she stops adding pressure and lets him in.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmChT2jfh1d
‘How did he find me?’ She thought to herself.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUED5xnBRU
After he entered she closed the door and sat down at the table with her tea in hand, Ethan on the other hand couldn’t stop looking at her and he made it so obvious.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3v07bqATO
She took a sip of the tea and then put it down, “Quit staring at me and sit down.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGvcm9A2Sf
“It's just hard, it has been a long time since the last time I saw you,” he says sitting down, “and it was even harder to find you.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLJGueyAId
She crossed her legs, “I know, that’s why I can’t figure out how you find me.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEUCT8z2SX
A visible awkward silence sat between them.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXGuaYYnuS
“How have you been? To be honest I couldn't bring myself to imagine you in casual clothes, neither the others, talking about them, Lisa—”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hYxCToIGi
“Can you get straight to the point, Ethan,” she interrupted him.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0TtdQWGPV
“Anais, you…” Ethan says, surprised by her rude and cold attitude, “does my presence irritate you that much?” His voice changed.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa00y2jNnRO
She took the last sip of the tea and got up, “Didn't I teach you not to ask questions if you already know the answer?”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRFlFHNcpg
“Yeah but—”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3znAA95KSl
“If you are finished with your questions please leave I got stuff to do,” she once again interrupted him while putting the cup in the sink.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJwefWEDPX
Ethan turns around and looks at her in frustration and anger, “Why did you leave the army and abandon your people?”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WmyeAT9kX
She rested her body in the sink and crossed her arms, “I left the army because my stupid 2nd husband left me to die in the territory of the enemy, since ‘it was useless the thought of saving my life’ I quote. And I left the army because one of the enemies saved my life, so yeah, the people that I was supposed to protect betrayed me and the people who I was supposed to kill saved my life.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZNowJWpi0
Ethan didn’t know how to respond or even act to this, Anais just stood quietly looking at him struggling with her truth until someone knocked the door, she walked to the entrance and opened the door.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrYNaynsyS
“James…?” Her eyes widened in surprise to see him.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEhPzxSTyT
“We’re not finished talking,” Ethan says pointing a gun to her head, “I got one last question. Yes, Gabriel abandoned you to die but why didn't you come back after his death in that plane crash? Don’t you love us?”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRM0Oo8LSU
“I suggest to you that if you are not ready to die don’t point a gun at me,” she calmly said.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrLHPV6SvT
“I entered the army knowing that I could die one day, I'm not scared of—”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3T8dtwnzW
Before Ethan could finish his sentence a bullet passed through his head painting the floor red. Anais didn’t flinch, neither cared about this, she just took a last glance at who once was her disciple and redirected all her attention to James who’s looking at the now dead body.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZojFugX68
She extends her arms and puts her hands on his face, calling for his eyes, “Why are you here? Don’t you have a mission?” She asks slightly mad but in a caring tone.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFKi7TTFNw
“You didn’t text me a good morning today so I grew worried,” James responded instantly and honestly.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI93q3FMTod
With her left hand she caresses the part of the scar that the patch can’t hide, “I’m sorry, in the morning I got a little sick and I forgot to text you, I made some tea so now I feel better.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BpuzbEoB8
He touches her hand gently, he knows that she blames herself for that scar, “I got this scar on my own, I wanted to kill that bastard and I did so don’t blame yourself for my decisions.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexZFwH6suH
She let out a sigh in resignation, “I missed you James,” she gave him a soft smile.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbbu2ks1k5
Without taking his eyes from her he responded, “I missed you too.”
