"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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGHKdxSErM
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,
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCYggLJrkU
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zfUodHpZw
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYdrsFSZU1
I hardly gave any expressions.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLI4kVzLvb
"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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeWuHaEBf9
I showed my anger.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVHPWB09lj
Weakness.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Quz7OqnM
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ14sw1Mg5
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY2KZ3hRYf
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErUZ0s03gG
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZDTh7E8dX
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuOiVxDH6S
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNgvu08Gtz
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlDy5EUS5v
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg6yhIljiR
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisMDmdP0Bp
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Z0OjoE77
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5zOiOErbv
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92VHqBymAL
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0tVNHFd8p
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKmCGFSxDn
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!
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs7wvAFG3v
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uinjERDf0
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpi61Hjtke
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW7ZHOV2xo
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo40Vx46Pa
He isn't lying.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgiFUefAf7
"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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp1q4BYdlV
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFVqDZymCx
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoXz12vnX4
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yQ1T1cpBs
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8GrEMVeC8
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnsotaN6Wh
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHTq8TyQj7
I have no rightful words to utter.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Lktm1GmP
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp5YLY5Zle
"..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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CRb30WPX8
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEyPBsR1Ut
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbo6XGbcJU
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNbAsrQguu
But I was serious.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLcW4KNwQL
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lqSTiAozu
I will build that trust.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sNQX8uyO2
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmi9wzALIA
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahcIBsbdUv
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke7HPOxzhP
No, not betrayal,
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBPi5G1Uk9
not guilt,
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaEvcLy5pR
no mischief,
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kIvlrEYaC
neither regret,
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo9WxrobEv
It was something else..
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17GDdkd9GM
I can't decipher.
