"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,
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeDAIKGzev
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dncz9eooV
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfmd5SsLhr
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JqAc9A9gk
I showed my anger.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvGCfWvAfe
Weakness.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcAQpIXpkU
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm4IISU2pc
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjXtxb1ydP
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpntdSLSNr
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmOmWMVDJo
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrF375dubP
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvZ6PCiByM
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcqhf0XQUz
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLCTArFL1K
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuYzIGLjtE
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1uJyqdv56
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoL77nni6A
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RklQLq6Ul
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIFEd3crFr
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBqYND48U5
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!
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCswoxMn05
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwdh41xIHS
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPNaYlPpMe
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5yBpQku1Q
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkacmNFq5iG
He isn't lying.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ePPnXrpP
"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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtzhxdY6K8
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M3kTzF7PO
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHu4RfbNor
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0b21eriy8
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjtym3ujDz
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRNdbrT7oe
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhGK7E9YE3
I have no rightful words to utter.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdty9rnnymV
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLd8p0pBn2
"..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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FMmlRH8GN
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS6Smu9eid
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W0poSx7af
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXARzwXkyT
But I was serious.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23F5bsWNwY
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1zFCbOcpg
I will build that trust.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ833gg8XVQN
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd8XZlhiXE
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzMh1sO2XB
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksX6hvYvSv
No, not betrayal,
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuI6wMRdee
not guilt,
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xFspEPC2m
no mischief,
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkZgtUSC4Q
neither regret,
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bsDRYstvf
It was something else..
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkvFrEWr9a
I can't decipher.
