"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCnQxdlLvU
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,
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaWEEMtS0m
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7RGBdHjTq
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLeC140i4V
I hardly gave any expressions.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLWQf3ujw3
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMsCJEG9B4
I showed my anger.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkbLzRgQO1
Weakness.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrm5E97Pmn
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY00CRDc71F
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQL1KzqmZV
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVhxtkivPb
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOeYHxMyIJ
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF16o9Tqt91
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJt6QlAact
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZLes6U5RB
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqTLgFRdLb
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46U2IINFzX
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRicTL2XyD5
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNv8bRL36p
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB1H5LTRIj
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhEDsS6Rfu
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuit8oAICq
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!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9AAmisBbq
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVq4vJ8Pgt
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP2bCuBiSW
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlc5FU2w6J
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLANl5I4kLx
He isn't lying.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeEbfCQU5Q
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqPUvLvy9Z
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKWfUP4rCm
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlvtLn3qpY
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pXDaWCQjw
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3jeBDp5Qn
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXQlk7XMOx
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzAuw8VcmW
I have no rightful words to utter.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmC3FgCAud
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw82ozyWhsC
"..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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6cp0VTdVC
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI3AA7f0Hy
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrtx0389XZ
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgdjSLLYUG
But I was serious.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfraSgwrbM
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxILYRolaAI
I will build that trust.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrmFzl0B96
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7N1S1zuzC
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwzthc4Gt6
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2OGoq9ulm
No, not betrayal,
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0TkBf5Mv8
not guilt,
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mx5SzFJBy
no mischief,
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIstwU6f2Yv
neither regret,
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq8WyIMYI8
It was something else..
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEYgrySKXu
I can't decipher.
