Better be survived (3)

Later that night Rommy come in Dennis's room, "Can I sleep here tonight?" he ask.

"Why?"

"Just a bit sad"

Dennis frowned but seeing Rommy really upset face, he relented and pat his side. That boy smiling wide and almost run towards the bed, he came under the quilt and closed his eyes contentedly

"Where is the cat?", usually it will stick to Rommy,

"Oh, it hurt you so I kill it"

His answer left him stunned. Not knowing which more surprising, the teen that innocently telling that he just kill something like nothing wrong or the reason for that action.

That night change everything, he became more strict to Rommy. It would be troublesome if he do the kill carelessly, but the man himself got better in erasing trace. Until Dennis make an ultimatum, no killing without his consent or he will kill Rommy himself - which in turn will disappoint Dennis more. Somehow that's work, not because the murder threat but a fear to disappoint.

Dennis often not understand what he have done wrong in teaching Rommy, he keep the boy out of violence and killing that has been a part of his daily life. He want to cultivate a scholar that will be his ears and eyes inside the organization called 'Quanbu Shale', a thousand years organization that kill his parents. Yet, the boy grow twisted. He is so smart with great memory, dark hair, pale skin with lean body. His countenance is handsome pair with a bright eyes and warm smile that hypnotize people around him to trust, to love him. Yet no one know, he will have the same warm smile while pull the gun in pointblank state and taking life.

For Dennis, he can do anything. And because of the same reason, he treat everything as potential enemy for Dennis 'great future'.

The ward's door opened, pulling Dennis back to the present. "How is she?" he ask the doctor who just coming out,

"Stabilize for now, but the CT scan viewed that her brain were erratic like she deep immersed in bad dream. We can't wake her up and we unable to determine the severity of trauma to the brain because the patient cannot respond to the signal that we send to the brain. Other than that was good, so we can only wait until she calm down".

He enter the room and walk towards the sleeping girl, her brows knitted and breath a bit fast. Unconsciously he reached out and touch her temple, he then gently massage it to smoothen the brow. It works magic, Sou just calm down.

**************

A storm of pain rushed to her body, her last view is a man with surgical mask stand near. She not recognize that man but his eyes so bright its drown her until the pain jolted her awake, so painful that she tried to bit her tongue and suicide but a piece of rubber already put between her teeth. She beg to die, anything for stopping the torture. 'Why they not even try to ask me? What's they want to know?' - she forget that even though they ask, she cannot answer - she not even remember her own name and just taking Sou as one.

The pain intensity not down a little bit, feels like new stab added when she numb from the stab before. Her mental start to breakdown, she want to forget, she want to cut her soul out of this painful experience, but she still trapped. After an eternity of pain, it suddenly stop and she immediately thrown to the stone room.

She curled her body on the floor, "Pain..pain.." she muttered again and again. Tears non stop flowing, stay in fetal position.

"My dear child", she heard a voice of a man close by. She open a slit on her eyes and see an old man squat in front of her.

"How do you feel?"

"Pain, too much pain. Please take me with you"

"Not now, my dear"

"Why?"

"Your mission not yet finished"

"What mission?"

"Meet him and teach him the dance"

"Who?"

"The one that capable to destroy my treasure"

"Why?"

"It's a big mistake"

"Why me?"

"Because you the one that willing"

"Now i am not willing, please take me with you"

"Too late, my dear. Now stand"

"No, too painful. No move, no!"
