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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZOQBhirIY
“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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp03WHYhBd
“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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5VzZhIY27
“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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbPC1NXFyp
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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqNkWabfpz
“I was about to do something with my phone… What was it?”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJzfPvDDGU
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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU8WdBpHeJ
‘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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQGbdDuFhq
“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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODWDvdnIYz
“Wait!” He stops the door from closing with his shoe, “I just wanna ask some questions and then I’ll leave quietly.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBHb7tuNdy
She didn’t open the door but rather started to put more pressure, “How many questions?”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFxEFf20Go
Feeling the pain he responds rapidly, “Three, only three questions.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug9yOjdMQv
“Alright, come in,” she stops adding pressure and lets him in.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuX7S72HZ9
‘How did he find me?’ She thought to herself.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYxRk9MepE
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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxttiMd2ji
She took a sip of the tea and then put it down, “Quit staring at me and sit down.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXKQcGUBjE
“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.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZxPedwheD
She crossed her legs, “I know, that’s why I can’t figure out how you find me.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl2iruFRLy
A visible awkward silence sat between them.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya3iCNIUC5
“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—”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB18ZHWY7W
“Can you get straight to the point, Ethan,” she interrupted him.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFICGldhbYX
“Anais, you…” Ethan says, surprised by her rude and cold attitude, “does my presence irritate you that much?” His voice changed.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8gF2GZyHV
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?”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6iUIKwnVY
“Yeah but—”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORSdbYzaIx
“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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fHpzWxnAK
Ethan turns around and looks at her in frustration and anger, “Why did you leave the army and abandon your people?”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWT89l1ByW
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.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgvorYUtta
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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tmBicRNow
“James…?” Her eyes widened in surprise to see him.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDRkox8mJX
“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?”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG1NNMkVCo
“I suggest to you that if you are not ready to die don’t point a gun at me,” she calmly said.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOkH3ktmrj
“I entered the army knowing that I could die one day, I'm not scared of—”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9JgQi7R22
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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIqvZpLGU2
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.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxnkNWkbJn
“You didn’t text me a good morning today so I grew worried,” James responded instantly and honestly.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1W98Th0Nn
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.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5uZYMfWKl
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.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFSa4hndTj
She let out a sigh in resignation, “I missed you James,” she gave him a soft smile.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdaew6XeoJ
Without taking his eyes from her he responded, “I missed you too.”
