"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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9RB5oiGuG
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,
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBkxwOLa1D
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Qe9YFBQb
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pt69NXeDO
I hardly gave any expressions.

"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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6mJoQP0ov
I showed my anger.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKHU9OyBs2
Weakness.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt42hsBmeg
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n6r5oh0a7
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaP5N8Tjbd
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4KCZZrYzN
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHgbwQN18G
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNpK98zLDr
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgv1QKHuSX
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXSHAWZR5w
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopSUi6yFZq
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PlQmIZgtL
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74tBCF8ogm
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uxrVLdv5a
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXxWVOYegU
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjIxTOYX4k
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RteCwX9O2
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!
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡketDuCxOMc
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhunvkPUN4
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWIC18WtGF
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV2yXq2uZV
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe7qpFre4f
He isn't lying.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WSTr7Z2NP
"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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ056QUKahIf
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qRpn2xEBg
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXbo7DH4YX
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N0JdKbWUQ
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGObgQ7lfu
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BFxXiAY06
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBTpfLQGN3
I have no rightful words to utter.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nmWevvZZB
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3AwLiDjwv
"..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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd8Y27qv64
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCyEaH1T00
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDX6vCyJp4
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbmgiJFMFo
But I was serious.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldDR4H4XE7
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdYA9Z059M
I will build that trust.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk7gZF4EBX
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyKZVnBJvI
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.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbTtmz1Fvk
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa5DwacWBc
No, not betrayal,
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCPpd6YrV2
not guilt,
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN5144L697
no mischief,
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOVbWWOqzP
neither regret,
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZKMGiYtvP
It was something else..
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrEmAK7sx4
I can't decipher.
