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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAO7l3j1rk
“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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4fgHeIMvl
“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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomxgty7QKN
“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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPGvx47Mcr
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1po81XBIdY
“I was about to do something with my phone… What was it?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jGwDQuGvX
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4D4ULhZIm
‘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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWA0YqF6Yv
“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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4lmdto4ZX
“Wait!” He stops the door from closing with his shoe, “I just wanna ask some questions and then I’ll leave quietly.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5NC5GrJs0
She didn’t open the door but rather started to put more pressure, “How many questions?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUXXdlL6EL
Feeling the pain he responds rapidly, “Three, only three questions.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8QYEvi0jm
“Alright, come in,” she stops adding pressure and lets him in.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1TU9G3vsD
‘How did he find me?’ She thought to herself.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSVHPN4abs
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVXX3Zjo5f
She took a sip of the tea and then put it down, “Quit staring at me and sit down.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv9Rho0GWT
“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.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgreef2eF5
She crossed her legs, “I know, that’s why I can’t figure out how you find me.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKXQUVTjkE
A visible awkward silence sat between them.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf5t0UumlM
“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—”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynOHqvFmvz
“Can you get straight to the point, Ethan,” she interrupted him.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTVlZfjyHw
“Anais, you…” Ethan says, surprised by her rude and cold attitude, “does my presence irritate you that much?” His voice changed.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0zmG77tcK
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?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ2FBAypWn
“Yeah but—”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M5BJkv40L
“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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRASVlp8tiD
Ethan turns around and looks at her in frustration and anger, “Why did you leave the army and abandon your people?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9VeqOqe8p
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.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHHbagloLb
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcNllEPYdM
“James…?” Her eyes widened in surprise to see him.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccHFDsfYwB
“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?”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3FfAlJw66
“I suggest to you that if you are not ready to die don’t point a gun at me,” she calmly said.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV7ABrGjzC
“I entered the army knowing that I could die one day, I'm not scared of—”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtMw2hhsGs
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjrcjGIsNU
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8i9dxZPo5
“You didn’t text me a good morning today so I grew worried,” James responded instantly and honestly.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmT03BMiHd
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.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uQt4dafFd
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.”342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfmKjNWIBZ
She let out a sigh in resignation, “I missed you James,” she gave him a soft smile.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb5KHMZdrZ
Without taking his eyes from her he responded, “I missed you too.”
