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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6E9ytGcDg
“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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6cjqWYzLd
“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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjOYYia5jJ
“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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvV4UgEdpR
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI3UwYXA4e
“I was about to do something with my phone… What was it?”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrpz1g1whz
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8n1U7js9o
‘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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfeXUVWe7h
“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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZySl4sLdc7
“Wait!” He stops the door from closing with his shoe, “I just wanna ask some questions and then I’ll leave quietly.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5UglaViX9
She didn’t open the door but rather started to put more pressure, “How many questions?”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzYCqecup8
Feeling the pain he responds rapidly, “Three, only three questions.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67RW0blUFu
“Alright, come in,” she stops adding pressure and lets him in.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fhFKCP1jh
‘How did he find me?’ She thought to herself.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7VPl6GkBn
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wZxvGaU6n
She took a sip of the tea and then put it down, “Quit staring at me and sit down.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0TvvNGezQ
“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.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aX76TOv4P
She crossed her legs, “I know, that’s why I can’t figure out how you find me.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpUFm64a6C
A visible awkward silence sat between them.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8rm0GQV8w
“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—”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELzeGpjPT6
“Can you get straight to the point, Ethan,” she interrupted him.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcaJ3PsdUK
“Anais, you…” Ethan says, surprised by her rude and cold attitude, “does my presence irritate you that much?” His voice changed.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OEN1jiL59
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?”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bSGNAxMUr
“Yeah but—”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU71O8Cvlsu
“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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0bpryQLo2
Ethan turns around and looks at her in frustration and anger, “Why did you leave the army and abandon your people?”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlyhF09DXe
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.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JzlaWpcBr
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuacxhfuiS
“James…?” Her eyes widened in surprise to see him.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqxIF5zziM
“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?”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWOk8mX4p2
“I suggest to you that if you are not ready to die don’t point a gun at me,” she calmly said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuhYdZSFfs
“I entered the army knowing that I could die one day, I'm not scared of—”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5MgoJS6pJ
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY5hpVxUem
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A0MDJ8DYC
“You didn’t text me a good morning today so I grew worried,” James responded instantly and honestly.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn35dXXH4e
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.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXxlfKOTc5
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.”349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjEm5isPHE
She let out a sigh in resignation, “I missed you James,” she gave him a soft smile.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlakbvFwuL
Without taking his eyes from her he responded, “I missed you too.”
