"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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8BVP2WkB1
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,
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1dfJHRTQR
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw36I8r9LUG
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu9DiG8bbO
I hardly gave any expressions.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbERw0Gz4Y
"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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVURaE0nBnv
I showed my anger.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKZzMjboqe
Weakness.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRkQBBb6Hl
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hf6FGPHVX
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ZbSSiHkt
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnAb3QADpc
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA68CIDiOm
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriTb6WHw8k
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewU2Fjpvrq
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRod7Fr3xj4
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QFwIzC5Yd
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxa00vU7N6
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckPAbFKvWd
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO7uS5wAfo
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbHOcm0B4T
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjn9OD9MTy
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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUtXaKVl4u
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!
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75jM9EgeJr
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquMvwXSE0G
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYY8cbfuJ0
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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUS0eSTMjT
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUdJcWQc3V
He isn't lying.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvehEU7Lxeo
"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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZZ6vyhsv4
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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2zCZhjeiZ
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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDsyWnnkQB
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx4OneK7PM
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjfB8L6yf6
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp99kWsV7m
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyoeHABd1E
I have no rightful words to utter.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b4pCZhsSB
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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2XaDwWvHw
"..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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkJNUZUgze
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWORpMpp0
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUY8Sxk7pf
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxL9SxxrG1
But I was serious.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1hN2WoMuH
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtHtCbnVz0
I will build that trust.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61l6rqhAsR
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqY94PZvu8
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.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMncQnOWuZn
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1dOKZ9QBT
No, not betrayal,
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw20YHdFkf
not guilt,
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcWoywATNj
no mischief,
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdSsBA0FPj
neither regret,
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYAMUAkinn
It was something else..
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX3ITR37ZD
I can't decipher.
