"You were happy yet You ran away. What is it that you have to hide from?" He asks, his gaze pinning me to place.
He was intense, Like I am the mission he has to do.

I knew it's his group he would want to protect first and if I don't tell him how will he know whom to protect me from.

It was a burning feeling since I started there. I had watched people die I associated with, made plans for another night. But when I saw dead and blast figures, bypassing me everyday,
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmItNdUCFMO
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2RwGBEIC6
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SxAhFvxMB
I hardly gave any expressions.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HmDFJ4PY5
"I just want to be free. Feel the freedom. But since they nourished, cultivated and trained me till now plus I'm the one among a few. They don't want to let go. They hunt me down and will still try. I've been groomed to serve them till death comes to take me since childhood. I've signed a fuckin contract." I fall back on the chair in defeat and speaking rapidly and rising in spirit.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eg6kVtNNu
I showed my anger.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswuoIsDDRE
Weakness.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I5ytFHUwT
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZN3U6bGVL
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn64u7l8aV
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISoNM2tJmM
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFaEjfM0Xi
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM9NvZ8pf6
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVjMu12cEU
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o8SGkB9r7
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVlErIrQzM
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVqzA7Epnn
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhmRhg253S
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgcSBlKKDK
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFtyWTp7xj
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYuooogapD
I turned again and faced my Interrogator as Derrick came into view, He had been outside the door! "Was he supposed to be a part of this?" I seethed pointing my finger at the intruder and focusing on Marco.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DujUaN9JO
He does works for him, but that doesn't mean he has the right to come in and leave on me on his own accord, no one does!
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHliU3K3CS
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFErcK9e9OO
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvF2ObWKHH
Someone from the back comes to me and says he knows what I didn't tell him, when he ain't part of the group he knows what he shouldn't. It fumes me.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFdo3k0fdt
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV8wkX5UHW
He isn't lying.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc2GM2zVDV
"Ivy, as a bodyguard it's my duty to protect my boss at all times. And for complete security I have to keep an eye on everything, especially an outsider." I heard Vettorio jaw tick but I didn't move, my wild stare was fixated on Derrick's.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD1WH7u8SH
He was right on his part. He definitely should'nt trust a trained assassin alone locked in a room with his boss.
But I felt exposed.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UKdkMFFD0
Vettorio broke the hot silence. "Ivy, until you are in my care, you are a part of this family.." Derrick eyes narrowed and broke from mine to meet Vettorio's in disapproval and I stared into the darkness acknowledging what he just said.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIVYET77Dy
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SWcG7mWwC
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUZJ9XFt2q
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B4dGBHK8z
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRmHRpdyVQ
I have no rightful words to utter.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaLWBWKmIp
Vettorio and Derrick closed in on each other, their eyes in a silent battle. I was left alone for the moment. The information was heavy. It had it's consequences and benefits, it is, in a way, similar to my previous life.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOcyfdf9ne
"..So, Ivy," This time his tone of voice was even more serious, commanding and deeper. I swallowed because This was Heavy and, I wasn't sure was I ready yet? "You Devote to serve this family. You vow your trust, loyalty and blood to this family. This Family that protects you, name you and define you." His eyes pierce into mine. There was gravity in those words. I didn't Blink away, it was my turn to show I am worthy of being a part of this Family.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt3lQowbkm
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNFnjWOrvQ
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikkck2Ah7L
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGeFDIfQdC
But I was serious.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Joz1u2RY
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacQVGvo4Jq
I will build that trust.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4kwRzjdMp
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbVgfRC8la
I knew the whole process, I saw it a number of times and I knew this was not the place. But for the time being, to show my feelings, I had to.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0gBvRieuN
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0R7ZDiD2h
No, not betrayal,
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8J808ps3J
not guilt,
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpa15cMHH2
no mischief,
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunH3AK6cW2
neither regret,
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58slRF6CJl
It was something else..
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o8jbtr2aY
I can't decipher.
