"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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv8xPJUBMw
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,
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOskF8jtHL
I stopped. I isolated myself. Like others.
Work and me.. that was it.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52l5UIUg4p
"There ain't any story, mister." I say.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXHwgD7xuK
I hardly gave any expressions.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZPHukmVxS
"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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh33qSkK5A
I showed my anger.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjSUWbdWq8
Weakness.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOhU8SIFMm
I need to recover soon. I can't go on like this. I take a deep breath.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1WFYAAz83
"Hmm." folding hands over the table he leans back, his chest muscles define more as he stretches, I looked away.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqJbHsXnva
"You have a copy?" It's the root, so that's what he asked. I knew it was coming.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlc4Va0iUc
"No." I say. I was simply made aware of my boundations. I was never given a proof.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNbmPUcG02
"I was exposed to the truth of my situation when I tried running away the first time." I reason.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRfxGJyJSi
I strictly focused on his death stare. Because if I go down, it's a rough valley of thick tanned muscles.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAVlaEXtMF
I shouldn't be salivating when I've seen many before him who were nearly stripped to nakedness. But..
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2TI2qdFBj
This man is different, something about him makes me thirsty.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw3NOpUbcH
I just want to touch him. I blink, blink and Blink again.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqXnuOSUUp
"That's the barrier." He says more to himself.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG06HFJkipD
"All right! Until we figure out something for you. Carry on doing as you were told." He says dismissively, I stand. Leave. Head down.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKMBUpO8QN
"Derrick! Come out!" He barked and I stiffened. I didn't suspected someone else was listening to us too.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixs9qjg43q
Was he evesdropping ?or he was a part of this and I didn't knew.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lKgiyX64c
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuC2AUuaUX
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!
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEpbZyblOl
This is my story!
My part of life!
My emotions!
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrsSDlYHzf
It doesn't matter they already know. But what I tell in person, I need to know that person or a number of persons.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX2bN5J5gZ
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC9BKw7w9O
"I heard him just as we were finished." Vettorio reasoned and I searched his face for the truth.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk1i1Jvvmk
He isn't lying.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZJ8zUT8K
"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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XkQOKcJ0q
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ693MNp5GWM
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRfvMxu4bA
This man can say something so important to an outsider like me.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR40pGYiML
From what I see, His decision is only based on the truth I gave him.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSwTkJfKmK
If I had lied with the same seriousness, he'd be helping me the same, but only on the basis that he believes me.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVZl2Ofb6z
I met him nights ago and he already put his trust on me.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDTm062ATo
I have no rightful words to utter.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA4QxHcixy
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KlD3SgGGV
"..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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FcBeAil2H
Derrick shoulders dropped, he shaking his head sighed, he raised his head again and look deadly at me again. I understood his concerns.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUabT8u3zUB
"I, until am alive, pledge my life only to You my Lord." I declare bowing my head.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg0Yp7cayO
Their stares completely changed to disbelief. I for a second thought I did something wrong.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0t90r6PSQ
But I was serious.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk49RB4Mown
So I started for the table, their shoulders tensed, I know believing me so quickly is out of question.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwbg7n9IYF
I will build that trust.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaNLO09mIW
I grabbed a knife from the penstand and ran it digging on my plam, I bled and... that blood... I offered in his name.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUfhU7Nwif
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0vcTb8euV
Our eyes met and Vettorio acknowledged me but it wasn't all acknowledgment, there was something else too.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkVquqUa7z
No, not betrayal,
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwNgtISNAm
not guilt,
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeLwQEMtpa
no mischief,
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRrdcss2Et
neither regret,
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB3hOjeIf0
It was something else..
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRXctYnzn5
I can't decipher.
