I was alive!!!

I passed out. I don't know what happened. Even in my unconscious state, I fear something might happen and I would die. So I bid myself goodbye but slowly I opened my eyes. A man standing in front of me. I got up and my head was throbbing in pain. I look around my surroundings and ignore this man in front of me. I would say it was a cozy room if I was sarcastic. The bed was uncomfortable and old.The pillow flat due to excessive use, and the place clean but plain. Not much was there, just the bare necessities. It was just one room. As I was scanning he suddenly spoke to me startling me. 'Focus here' I quickly turned to him and tried to get up but I was tied. My right hand tied to the bed frame. I remained calm. Of course, he would do this , he's literally an assassin. He won't give me any chance of escape so I'll have to play along if I want to live. I just hope I'm still useful to him if he set such a trap for me.I asked, 'I just have one question, why kill my uncle?'

He didn't show any emotion.

'...'

'He was your uncle, huh?' he spoke as if he's talking to himself and not to me.

I took the time to check him out. He wasn't bad. He wore a black hoodie with black jeans, a bit baggy I thought. I see that he was a bit tall.(He was really tall, I just hate that I'm tiny and short.) But I couldn't see his face, covered with mask but his eyes, I hate his eyes. It's as if he's trying to burn me. That's when I realised that he was staring at me, eye to eye. Then I snapped out and looked away as quick as I can.

'You came for my nightshade, didn't you?'

He asked me and I said yes. There was no point hiding and I didn't want to be tortured for this little information. My uncle used to tell me how assassins kill people to scare me when I was a rebellious apprentice. He used to tell me that he'd make me marry one. And that scared me. Now I'm here, an assassin in front of me. Nothing more than that.

' I'll give you a deal.'

A man of short words I guess.

' What deal?' I had to ask, even if I'm afraid.

'Be my .....wife ' Just kidding!!!

Y'all thought he actually said that didn't you?

Well, he actually asked me to help him if I don't want to die and my body ripped to pieces.

So I said yes to whatever he wanted. I was just saying goodbye to this life in the car but now I'm here desperately trying to find a way to get out alive. Humans are confusing.

Then we had an agreement for me to not try and escape and him to not kill me and for both of us not to expose each other's identities.

Then he took off his mask and I saw his face for the first time. I wouldn't lie if I said i wouldn't mind going at him if he was a normal person. If I met him on one of my missions, we could actually hit it off. But not right now and not ever. An assassin, no matter how pretty , is a deadly weapon. So I rather distanced myself from this man who happens to have such thin pretty lips and mesmerizing eyes.

He came close to untie me and my delusional head though he was trying to do something to me and I subconsciously caught his hand which was stretched out, trying to untie. I bumped my head hard to his face and I thought I had him.

But no. He caught my head. He was so fast. And I looked so dumb with his hand on my face. My whole face fit on his hand. I felt so small like he could just squeeze and I would burst out. I tried to speak and opened my mouth. But as my lips start moving, I guess he was tickled since he hurriedly remove his hand. Weird of an assassin to feel tickled but I could finnally breathe. He told me in a calm manner,' I'm gonna untie you now, don't move '

And after that he gave me a map to return home along with my bag, an umbrella and a burner phone.

Then he said he'll contact me and left hurriedly.

I just sat there on the bed. So thankful that I was alive.
