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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ53JFVfcl
“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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQVVjXEe9X
“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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tj6hBh0LO
“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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLAE1kZxZW
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqH68e2ddf
“I was about to do something with my phone… What was it?”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMpfKmi8id
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli4Y7h0Bw4
‘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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFOfcK2mch
“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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9RFpOVS7w
“Wait!” He stops the door from closing with his shoe, “I just wanna ask some questions and then I’ll leave quietly.”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJpYvcG5Wv
She didn’t open the door but rather started to put more pressure, “How many questions?”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7cme5IVJJ
Feeling the pain he responds rapidly, “Three, only three questions.”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuBNZ5oRZZ
“Alright, come in,” she stops adding pressure and lets him in.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2j01A7LsR
‘How did he find me?’ She thought to herself.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGHTUIhjUG
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMlgjjIxQH
She took a sip of the tea and then put it down, “Quit staring at me and sit down.”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHDzL5bAWa
“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.”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIo0xDsM9e
She crossed her legs, “I know, that’s why I can’t figure out how you find me.”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zBMkZevKR
A visible awkward silence sat between them.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt2clKU9ar
“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—”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMQPyUkyuN
“Can you get straight to the point, Ethan,” she interrupted him.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3RtvUXYQR
“Anais, you…” Ethan says, surprised by her rude and cold attitude, “does my presence irritate you that much?” His voice changed.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YPrzCGYIA
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?”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRbSc5MxjR
“Yeah but—”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GBBqPqVlq
“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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPcRPGL3hy
Ethan turns around and looks at her in frustration and anger, “Why did you leave the army and abandon your people?”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbuHpp1TUA
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.”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzMGS70doH
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqJhFB3HWe
“James…?” Her eyes widened in surprise to see him.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlBspcW0rc
“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?”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0RN8xQo2X
“I suggest to you that if you are not ready to die don’t point a gun at me,” she calmly said.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI4TxSvSt8
“I entered the army knowing that I could die one day, I'm not scared of—”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGvZtkEfyV
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD1tw45rzQ
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCTNDKHUIA
“You didn’t text me a good morning today so I grew worried,” James responded instantly and honestly.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXKmoRWRoJ
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.”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jL0VjJWA4
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.”318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwl8X1bf5V
She let out a sigh in resignation, “I missed you James,” she gave him a soft smile.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9qqjduSL1
Without taking his eyes from her he responded, “I missed you too.”
