"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,
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWcZOqhkpX
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cIATMlEhs
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyAIoXj325
I hardly gave any expressions.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RY5XQ7MDn
"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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1cY0pDtsE
I showed my anger.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyzyjVAP5p
Weakness.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvLYoywdPo
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR8n2C23TL
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrgZVhQf2b
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1puvv4OQTX
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ly9KjYpLa
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUQtMRtxDu
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHpTlzHG3Z
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ghj8V8ZSD
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ6oZv944A
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXd2oE8guq
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgmqaMFuZS
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhysVnjaJh
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeR5Ln2DMn
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwVE6ONbBp
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMeJadpuGG
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!
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr53EWkAVV
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzWPnpnoVh
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrNksfCpze
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06yb3y91Gw
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQadwyVXd4
He isn't lying.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx00hTgiLG
"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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUMsLGzmqf
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuUvI92GNq
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMLeQ7oTfU
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEyLfKegwd
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ577yJidate
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pKaZPPctj
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuwWe5sS7J
I have no rightful words to utter.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO182FCAWxT
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPfKncG4R6
"..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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hxcMFGW0H
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxhtaiYFyj
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhsrHGSmO2
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD91SI2AzD5
But I was serious.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOV97Uv6Us
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOtEls5CfM
I will build that trust.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKbXRGRVhM
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGP4r26i40
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCK1erZyr3
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXrIkmc8qN
No, not betrayal,
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwuUG7vdUS
not guilt,
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP0iQHiSbk
no mischief,
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6uDuTDPNW
neither regret,
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXINvWicsm
It was something else..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuABb7dZWQL
I can't decipher.
