"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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRfL1xwPTu
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,
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ5rEwYNva
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkr91AIIRr
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtnI7DndsU
I hardly gave any expressions.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEjMVPHaIn
"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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nWZBiFjBq
I showed my anger.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWciKAWNFP
Weakness.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwc1dMt8cW
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyijgREvax
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCcORIZSvb
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OQfcaQ5gX
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCR2mSX4PG
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQaGEX1xMZ
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pRtZmJsbh
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kfnSfHemx
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv2wPs8zWg
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAZRbiDKuQ
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf8L8VM6oS
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb9Clwvu6Y
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJwhM43rYc
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl0OMSbLgd
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lWADdHoSg
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!
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoHX5vV7ZN
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1zBpqDfMa
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhSnwYKlsX
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj1Y71QjWO
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyAqdsUCYI
He isn't lying.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfAakwE0CO
"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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mc4r0YaMz
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Fg57L1W5
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQFZZC8GQk
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37SHrU3HcN
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw4Zqrtwll
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnL7dJAT3N
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZvPkm2wYE
I have no rightful words to utter.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeblh5BW2W
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyxmD6ppKj
"..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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88PXFDybH6
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSoDBQxjuZ
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrFBTTywMu
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBphF0R5EF
But I was serious.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAu8jdly36
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CcnVzpiDI
I will build that trust.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztlPUUaneT
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6sTnhmVlp
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.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2mzf73WCZ
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9vsRESdY1
No, not betrayal,
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvzUGxgxIt
not guilt,
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0MSwcDZUX
no mischief,
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYDB3QnQuO
neither regret,
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWTN82Raka
It was something else..
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfuRVHcGA6
I can't decipher.
