"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,
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmfOOs8YUy
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhokBepzLYY
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09e1HcNHpe
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RjNjIKvbc
I showed my anger.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8do7hRYUa
Weakness.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdrEqiujLb
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNHieTVtCf
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dcvaApsUk
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfFVWrmMJ0
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwR9ovIF2R
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7OZMiylCz
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsleJc9bNr
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHsACDfXLd
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2dkobm9DQ
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4qttcjJOF
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCZ3WOt3U0
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsywzvcD05
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu831COeXn7
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlTzy10KwT
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwTihJjY0k
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!
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oJ9DXp5CZ
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRkq1sZNZW
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t3vk8hvim
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T961I6nFd
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMdmbrKtFv
He isn't lying.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEwrld7WsF
"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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcTobgjvQl
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp3pinu6RK
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnle3OQk6t
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGLYwkDNOD
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxifJ1XVSA4
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IdLjqbX7T
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLXVsP7mJr
I have no rightful words to utter.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DJvmM0MiD
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG3ARjbxLU
"..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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWDuR4oEnL
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelXQI8beiv
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwTHv9YPdb
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKU0Nlgwzp
But I was serious.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8x0c0EaQY
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno08AN6MnS
I will build that trust.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KycPaQqz9
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7AufFbTED
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64WlIMHkIX
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32UBRyPCBj
No, not betrayal,
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGv25MzS1k
not guilt,
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr4dEAcUb8
no mischief,
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtg3srpEGC
neither regret,
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC1L3yfOm6
It was something else..
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6nylk1I20
I can't decipher.
