"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,
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3115hSxPn2
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcBA2lSLs3
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhpYO5zI14
I hardly gave any expressions.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj8YHAXSKo
"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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgrQHfJjoM
I showed my anger.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJFfW8efuw
Weakness.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWx1Kyw09s
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykUmGh2iZQ
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjiH53LCa2
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5iLK4yGdO
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVhvwy4Uua
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFNomOMJuS
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu78afDb8EK
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY1lizWFrM
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAXWOYXX2p
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSso72eqdMJ
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvjjuvq7EE
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGoqzZpjFT
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP5pn4BdZF
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEnURlJ25s
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UoGXW4Mxm
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!
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19nyIh4qY7
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgcLOBiws7
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhBditje79
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5GEbWPyXU
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoxuEteEIU
He isn't lying.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgnuyy6K29
"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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxtKEaASTj
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYjLRZT7oJ
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM50h5OcMF
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiGQFgiBZs
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0CjWOB0WJ
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeFdbxvblb
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo8eu7YIAW
I have no rightful words to utter.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj8nq2EdTQ
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPlFd8aamN
"..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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nig76mYxD
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclbp1DbVPs
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBig3UP4S8
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6wp7krjid
But I was serious.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDthJkwPsMo
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRSTcrxhTO
I will build that trust.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCadVpPrPtl
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13QsIrdh61
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl5V3NvXFz
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo86SmI17S
No, not betrayal,
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqJFzFXwoJ
not guilt,
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpVhwS58DY
no mischief,
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebnqmpjTUm
neither regret,
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7nDLYiM7i
It was something else..
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92QjiBTlyq
I can't decipher.
