"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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToprNV7UG4
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,
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5evTNZaEC
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHwtBuO0Ls
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFqL4eqkBV
I hardly gave any expressions.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsv4vNWgWb
"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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksYqndOzAT
I showed my anger.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nnCeclKDs
Weakness.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoepW4fHOO
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NnSRGl6UD
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA26Uqi6Yh5
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7qTKRNdKI
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRckKkTdBxw
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWorUfsuGN
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0ZBTqPf0y
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoRrvdpT33
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtzV9uwrAm
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5DRscGThm
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGVJyWLAZj
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjuw5Xfsi5
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO6FsDNV34
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgtJydCeMO
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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpmkSKLSLZ
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!
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrqXZexLFF
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxot67n4Dek
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO29T92GKU
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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2knh3brt9l
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEjDDYc0j6
He isn't lying.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPDsidPuQq
"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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgQanFQKJG
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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelgrAX8GpX
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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3dXMviR3c
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu1hoTeMnm
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrav0AF4chZ
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ61thDF2Ng
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMptyGvitk
I have no rightful words to utter.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK54XOAJFD
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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyqnftsDhk
"..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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPecMmHgcM
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZBLTi5Y6b
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSkGynLrOs
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnOEBAuv38
But I was serious.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHZ6w6DfTr
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYdSNfvGDA
I will build that trust.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQJfmsnKwe
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy8eMvX7ga
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.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUyRBxUvug
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR4LTT604x
No, not betrayal,
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYcR0wcknf
not guilt,
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHoQyjE6UR
no mischief,
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhZqmvaHrl
neither regret,
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ9V4lfq6u
It was something else..
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjFQc64T6r
I can't decipher.
