"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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecSa6msEcl
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,
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bFmTiqOds
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqOY8YrcHN
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ufr8EPPXh
I hardly gave any expressions.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVcwfnTqHR
"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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsy6iWuUg9
I showed my anger.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLRU9FtAfv
Weakness.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXLXsqLz94
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6fgb28L9Q
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk87DkpGY9
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrnlgaHZz0
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQYgo9IVc
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuj9EuDfZg
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSMAIaCGsN
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrQ9QH4Ja3
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77aatlPetU
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vXZDxOdkG
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcMGMFAKSy
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONIshyvajF
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vU6ACHllj
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD6YHn4N9A
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDhwbNc4Nr
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!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw4OV3pCyY
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO7CHNMbWm
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWQYTNY7gU
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zy3mwu2Ku
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrrxKSN7uu
He isn't lying.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeAPojGqzd
"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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvTRL9Oahn
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJycmsnTYH
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATlOUxYh9
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e9xBZmgVJ
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DiMpEM3Ry
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBVQ4AaLq3
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONgqUJKW6K
I have no rightful words to utter.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllsJ6XOcXr
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR3br7aFfS
"..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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFeO9ACpXQ
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Q4o7IISn
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83JA0X88Nd
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYpPrlPOYk
But I was serious.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfpJqVzwOm
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVxU8qzLF4
I will build that trust.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr64wf8VXc3
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX93nILxxjT
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW64IVU9upF
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLVlzJEv61
No, not betrayal,
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXilbJrK1n2
not guilt,
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk2gZRoCr6
no mischief,
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW7uanGGGr
neither regret,
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUlHOMMdxN
It was something else..
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU74O59PrVo
I can't decipher.
