"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,
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUA7EtN8z6
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG1KBp6bCc
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8rGiv4lWT
I hardly gave any expressions.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52jJeSxfgP
"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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ6gVBtwHK
I showed my anger.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogHNutkcgV
Weakness.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa96TUQh0oR
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAnBsV1C3m
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppZqWJ6QFC
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc26gdUkV6
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zkg4YrPwq
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35OfvLZ7ok
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61QLQRFfDH
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoIFQj7NMn
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmY9ypZBfa
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZCt1YVTZk
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n1al3S9ps
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5r97XSk7Y
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNVqXRtpLg
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimTRZvUWfD
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf9P9QmMCi
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!
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wonlCLSOk
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC5Y7keFxD
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx0GFmvRok
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l4WqPtit0
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPIEqfIURy
He isn't lying.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUkr8eyTcF
"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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy5a27ZOQw
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aakZfvIgr
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f6XiJYL4F
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi92jVsKuw8
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32SrOOcKld
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyZWhcXosd
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpjhFUFFBh
I have no rightful words to utter.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIsHTcg9gT
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XU1FqKqNs
"..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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0TdapsQLG
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrXgN7rapE
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LRrFxL2d2
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsNUt3Vg43
But I was serious.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd83lKMVvO
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0dGIFvVce
I will build that trust.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1knfcXOYv1
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpdTGa1GoO
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4GYOyXjWh
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFdIObNtt7
No, not betrayal,
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4jxFSNj6B
not guilt,
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPntg9nCRo
no mischief,
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqvVa4fKF3
neither regret,
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNOVoduNbg
It was something else..
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhQOHcA48S
I can't decipher.
