"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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXlidT0zRR
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,
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYt9MHB7Io
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgLtSAO3tH
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hMKwzFUdg
I hardly gave any expressions.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywIBqxlXUD
"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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyWKA9I6xO
I showed my anger.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsWcH8pKCd
Weakness.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nDUqa6Wy1
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FAZ3g2qqm
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5A0NiRkXt
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfY9FJ3vtF
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgly4STd5vI
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuFFAwa80j
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHPbtrcxV2
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOVaGl4X5n
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo4rE2SMAu
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNmdim6vRg
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWB8Heuq8u
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dRyeJDBTk
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tMTj2MTwf
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqy66gFfIK
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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrZH4bJqm8
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!
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv9jnPcZQL
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mH4Facrhz
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSqNyVdsQA
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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77sOnAwDPU
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2TJXLR9Id
He isn't lying.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DoI16ZR6l
"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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxHoyggUJt
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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryMcPiiN13
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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbVy8dmdlf
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ipaYKtbxH
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W1oArZRYM
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlJkzetBHt
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAUBTgieeA
I have no rightful words to utter.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl400JwEsfX
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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sNwmQrAwc
"..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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKh4p21yN4
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeltFJ8w6N
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHqx9q68U6
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22eJ4un38e
But I was serious.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhnmd4nGma
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtkQvHoy2s
I will build that trust.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE7cRirHXZ
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ctjIbPqwd
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.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuAj6OnNR7
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0pTsYPEfF
No, not betrayal,
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2c2NZpSuq
not guilt,
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2yJOAtxkO
no mischief,
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QhyznxMK0
neither regret,
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9z6A6loqw
It was something else..
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxTFeid40K
I can't decipher.
