"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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1An4AtOaWx
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,
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkF9022uaO
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i8txQKBDG
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqWKnBMFVb
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBQjRwQiIg
I showed my anger.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgTbxHpANB
Weakness.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9srZjU5rw
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ZlY3cQop
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAGaHDLlcF
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX39vyrvIs
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKvmUftr1K
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpvRqIaWNB
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNoPXtITDd
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kudfJHvx7
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg8XRTrTrL
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfbJRuWc9Y
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTC2RzC8A0
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7OXhNRoZ9
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3JjHf8GZa
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc47DTzjvMR
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gOEdP5PCV
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!
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7lzLz4RZP
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2aN9V1oZD
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI223K7pmIG
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ352FP3zdNr
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWI2UCrWYh
He isn't lying.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevNPj3fuH3
"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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDUw8s6qog
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoyWM4aWOp
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijQxprKFZo
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomAykSj9sS
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIduOpbmD82
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAkPmhzMW2
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VzxbO7jfx
I have no rightful words to utter.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCJx0xe2vG
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedmuPPVLCk
"..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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetnoUR6ebi
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1rgqynyEn
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0yIlq1fRQ
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39RYp07HxY
But I was serious.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ZyswKypg
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c2m2nEpYv
I will build that trust.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu7cJ0oaRF
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0I26tv52R
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.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCq76Tm5iT
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCKAUsY4Le
No, not betrayal,
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0PQ5xkGMU
not guilt,
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi07eTXCYs
no mischief,
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBD4b9Ru1R
neither regret,
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBrf6xGasU
It was something else..
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb1TJIo5t5
I can't decipher.
