"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.

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,
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IFO1ZMMwI
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz5ICw27wn
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4nwQTW6Ou
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGcFTZ7xtT
I showed my anger.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHxjj6YOi1
Weakness.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNzVMZOgG7
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzXxvNqeBQ
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnO8Sx9XGq
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lbOkg1SRI
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeE9rhfzS8
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZX7s5IHHh
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSdAc5L0ef
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcoJHewIBS
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsYeLTpsLK
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTzEu6aOEY
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxSQCsiHGu
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99W4neqGu9
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo67TEeTtfC
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANU3N7juhX
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7kXBVH62w
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!
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7UkUOqP7O
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHX65vqZMA
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ334aqUq87J
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfvF0RX8TM
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJreRuKIVeF
He isn't lying.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyRtBFKnpY
"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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhIflgOKyr
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf0sNiS3J7
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGca4CxnLC
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRq9GaYH35
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN6g4ECN43
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBglNJWo9nD
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSZ3AQZZCe
I have no rightful words to utter.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRJXVCJZSX
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujIR8cIBs7
"..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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW9FqIkgXE
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Q4FMUGXy
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHH9xUycUg
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s5d5XD0Op
But I was serious.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFPiextRvS
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnG9l746ef
I will build that trust.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErEiDTmvN9
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzUNEO6OHn
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.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJInlwqq97
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO6kqpsUyW
No, not betrayal,
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzfRCGl4Lf
not guilt,
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdnc0yKPSm
no mischief,
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGMwdPKsqQ
neither regret,
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Hes1dXGg
It was something else..
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP6oW4QwNh
I can't decipher.
