The light coming through the window, who’s laying down beside her, has been looking at her wavy bloody hair for a couple of minutes until he decides to touch her closed eyes, she wakes up and her obsidian eyes meet him once again.343Please respect copyright.PENANAxhoe46u8l5
“James…” Anais says moving her hand up and down across the bed looking for something or someone. Feeling nothing she sat up looking at the empty side of the bed until her alarm went off.343Please respect copyright.PENANAG9jXLx1B4u
“I miss him. I should probably text him,” she turned around and was about to take her phone until she sneezed making almost all the mucus in her nose come out.343Please respect copyright.PENANAX6LxvvfVrS
“Great, now I’m sick,” she says with one hand on her face and the other under her chin, preventing herself from making a mess.343Please respect copyright.PENANAHNGNGO0iTU
Finishing cleaning that sticky situation she got out of the bathroom rapidly, but her line of thinking stopped the moment she stood out of the bathroom.343Please respect copyright.PENANAHM2DMDSnQK
“I was about to do something with my phone… What was it?”343Please respect copyright.PENANA7YSixSEDY3
Remembering that she had forgotten something but not knowing what it is, recently became normal to her and with no intentions of dealing with it at 7 in the morning she continues her day.343Please respect copyright.PENANAfZgIsBLQpZ
‘I want some tea,’ with this in mind she headed down to the kitchen and prepared some apple tea for herself while thinking about what she had to do for the day, until someone knocked on her front door, she got up and opened the door just to see a 5ft 9 looking blond child and of course she knew who he was.343Please respect copyright.PENANANS4cb77TR5
“I finished my service in the military a long time ago and I’m unable to return due to my condition so leave, Ethan,” she says coldly to him while shutting the door on his face with the intention of not letting him even speak.343Please respect copyright.PENANAFjA3ktnVq7
“Wait!” He stops the door from closing with his shoe, “I just wanna ask some questions and then I’ll leave quietly.”343Please respect copyright.PENANAJKwvB2azhu
She didn’t open the door but rather started to put more pressure, “How many questions?”343Please respect copyright.PENANAf69TKSH6aH
Feeling the pain he responds rapidly, “Three, only three questions.”343Please respect copyright.PENANAhZNqUo5lHu
“Alright, come in,” she stops adding pressure and lets him in.343Please respect copyright.PENANAhd5YfQiHJY
‘How did he find me?’ She thought to herself.343Please respect copyright.PENANAHKmiDtwb05
After he entered she closed the door and sat down at the table with her tea in hand, Ethan on the other hand couldn’t stop looking at her and he made it so obvious.343Please respect copyright.PENANAJIUH5UcUex
She took a sip of the tea and then put it down, “Quit staring at me and sit down.”343Please respect copyright.PENANA0RrcTtBtB2
“It's just hard, it has been a long time since the last time I saw you,” he says sitting down, “and it was even harder to find you.”343Please respect copyright.PENANAKn28m8qcYX
She crossed her legs, “I know, that’s why I can’t figure out how you find me.”343Please respect copyright.PENANA1wfc4MufvF
A visible awkward silence sat between them.343Please respect copyright.PENANA2svjk0M48n
“How have you been? To be honest I couldn't bring myself to imagine you in casual clothes, neither the others, talking about them, Lisa—”343Please respect copyright.PENANAhLfAiOek6l
“Can you get straight to the point, Ethan,” she interrupted him.343Please respect copyright.PENANAakKCSyCixm
“Anais, you…” Ethan says, surprised by her rude and cold attitude, “does my presence irritate you that much?” His voice changed.343Please respect copyright.PENANAVWFycmEn4d
She took the last sip of the tea and got up, “Didn't I teach you not to ask questions if you already know the answer?”343Please respect copyright.PENANAJm4mLlXA18
“Yeah but—”343Please respect copyright.PENANAZdMzxLiOe0
“If you are finished with your questions please leave I got stuff to do,” she once again interrupted him while putting the cup in the sink.343Please respect copyright.PENANAe953S2f0o6
Ethan turns around and looks at her in frustration and anger, “Why did you leave the army and abandon your people?”343Please respect copyright.PENANA2YxcTdokyE
She rested her body in the sink and crossed her arms, “I left the army because my stupid 2nd husband left me to die in the territory of the enemy, since ‘it was useless the thought of saving my life’ I quote. And I left the army because one of the enemies saved my life, so yeah, the people that I was supposed to protect betrayed me and the people who I was supposed to kill saved my life.”343Please respect copyright.PENANADTS5ECDmW6
Ethan didn’t know how to respond or even act to this, Anais just stood quietly looking at him struggling with her truth until someone knocked the door, she walked to the entrance and opened the door.343Please respect copyright.PENANADte2tX1Xzs
“James…?” Her eyes widened in surprise to see him.343Please respect copyright.PENANAD4BmBQw6y3
“We’re not finished talking,” Ethan says pointing a gun to her head, “I got one last question. Yes, Gabriel abandoned you to die but why didn't you come back after his death in that plane crash? Don’t you love us?”343Please respect copyright.PENANAI9O4HnZKO4
“I suggest to you that if you are not ready to die don’t point a gun at me,” she calmly said.343Please respect copyright.PENANAvVVhYKfYXU
“I entered the army knowing that I could die one day, I'm not scared of—”343Please respect copyright.PENANAcVqea2AA9n
Before Ethan could finish his sentence a bullet passed through his head painting the floor red. Anais didn’t flinch, neither cared about this, she just took a last glance at who once was her disciple and redirected all her attention to James who’s looking at the now dead body.343Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y5hLQcHke
She extends her arms and puts her hands on his face, calling for his eyes, “Why are you here? Don’t you have a mission?” She asks slightly mad but in a caring tone.343Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7eo4CI576
“You didn’t text me a good morning today so I grew worried,” James responded instantly and honestly.343Please respect copyright.PENANAgfUIgarRQ7
With her left hand she caresses the part of the scar that the patch can’t hide, “I’m sorry, in the morning I got a little sick and I forgot to text you, I made some tea so now I feel better.”343Please respect copyright.PENANADsssA1v6hl
He touches her hand gently, he knows that she blames herself for that scar, “I got this scar on my own, I wanted to kill that bastard and I did so don’t blame yourself for my decisions.”343Please respect copyright.PENANACbVJJnvepd
She let out a sigh in resignation, “I missed you James,” she gave him a soft smile.343Please respect copyright.PENANApmbVN6oDIM
Without taking his eyes from her he responded, “I missed you too.”
