"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,
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqJr6jA6Db
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXPXaE40PM
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UzCwbvQIv
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3ByDU9leI
I showed my anger.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3zGaTyBV5
Weakness.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b7JkVdsig
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAgfUPq2JF
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex3lo5ZxvG
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuBdN63Gez
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSLhGyD6a6
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa9WdzSYcU
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oq3B4O107
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC6AeTugBc
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BEtlFAg4d
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx2cESqD40
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXq6YSDPNY
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlMsd3RVfB
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxWLZXTrGj
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSujOsx1iCc
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Iml0Pks9u
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!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iLx3liy9U
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiS6nZq1Kc
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzIGGhnSUn
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtjySEth38
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEkCog86gS
He isn't lying.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRErclFN3De
"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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ZjlbOtwz
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfGvfeaVLD
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbwzVtJkkH
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBQdBcbb0O
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5HZ03vvjU
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MUolDa4Xc
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFmAOqPceg
I have no rightful words to utter.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODE8XfivRY
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WdDvPXFUJ
"..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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wXxrGaTW9
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JwbwJ0fso
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbjxSRhmBX
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsXftedOmv
But I was serious.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvMkBjiicj
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTJyWXsS0F
I will build that trust.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS86SisMNjO
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfUXRVuhQB
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV6RBsCQL6
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMoZ21BbE
No, not betrayal,
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bdvbCVLl5
not guilt,
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUpdE5fbJD
no mischief,
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VO1skDrNO
neither regret,
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKvTRFZtlx
It was something else..
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tT8qHFwjy
I can't decipher.
