"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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHG1IOGlqd
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,
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpImWsNPoq
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbQFihd7ZG
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdKGa3R82F
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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxej2l3MJt
I showed my anger.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXFrjEh1X9
Weakness.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERw5vbeMAk
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhxgmctjYT
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX25YtiEMg
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHjgrXppIr
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibn66czxVb
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmw9tmMiAe
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByqxTqHYbr
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhoklQPv3X
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmcWPJCTX1
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z6sRzi0lZ
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNW8zv2CO8
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMnD4G1aZj
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvcp2RyaMW
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLfYNriBgQ
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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCrLaLbxTT
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!
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsK7b0hVb5
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj9hJunp7v
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsbOQHt52j
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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5fJ4zviaU
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHEQX7wEQg
He isn't lying.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mM2JZYTdb
"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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EjzVA5Gsj
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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA24SPCdsqV
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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBpbuxpfo2
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHvCIMWBA2
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG5AYCOiE5
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNv0eVSp3K
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE690XZDfBz
I have no rightful words to utter.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTCtBbKcMt
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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYUTyCk9qP
"..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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxbAlxdBsI
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBCYD4p57Y
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04FK8Z0CTy
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x4M5KN1Py
But I was serious.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DQnaJwBW7
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClFWVxff6G
I will build that trust.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0LzcgX6t9
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8odBAPIAyI
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.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRRf0MIfXA
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9g6IJ02xz
No, not betrayal,
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SGJt7j68W
not guilt,
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT34ZpcCk1z
no mischief,
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AsEj2eA49
neither regret,
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYC1ck8LxH
It was something else..
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUCBqbOqfP
I can't decipher.
