Chapter 73
1008words
Each day we had a bud stuck behind our ears telling us who to kill in which way to kill them and whether or not we should deposit the body or just burn it.
That was when I became reckless emotion hidden and well one day they found out that we were spies and it didn't go that well.
They came when we were all sleeping and made sure to dig out with a dagger those buds behind our ears tied us up and took us in a room.
Long story short we escaped only us three and the others died and well I got an arrow stuck in my leg while trying to save them.
That year I didn't go home I was hospitalised and their technological assets made sure that I didn't even have a scar on my face or body.
After four months I was sent on a mission again.
The whole time that I was hospitalised I was training too in which explains why I was sent on another mission before I was even fully healed.
And this time I was in charge of a full army.
Arham wasnt with me neither was Arabi which meant I had no emotional support at all because they were all still healing.
Long story short I found out that we were heading for the riot squad in which I had underestimated before but happened that it could take down a whole army.
But that time I remember swearing that it was my life before I am left alone with the army gone.
And this one we accomplished it with cracked bones some with deadly injuries and after I gave my uncle a whole beating that I was sure he was going to kill my mother in seconds if he would reach her.
But I was so wrong.
When we went back I was so ready to quit because I had accomplished something I didn't know I had in me and even now I still can't name it but the feeling is there I accomplished it and I know it.
When I went back to the camp ready to quit and what I found there had me shook.
It was my uncle and her daughter here well you would think it was pretty but hey I almost vomited.
He had her chained up naked may I add! With a gun installed on her head.
And I remember he told me that if I took one more step he would press the button and well she would die.
Well that went pretty rough because he had bombed the camp already whatever he used to get inside one of the heavily secured places in the forested that I knew existed in the world well I didn't know and with that I thought Arham was dead along with the victims of the bomb but he wasnt.
After that I remember that i completely blacked out but I remember hearing a shooting going on noises and being carried somewhere with Arham's voice.
I woke up in a hospital with my mother's voice telling me that I got into an accident while coming back and her stressing over how she was going to pay the hospital bills when we were already living in the streets.
I really hustled told her we could go home where happened to be the streets and I stayed there sick and begging for almost three months and I remember seeing the joy in my mother's face when one of her friends told her she could go live with her until we got a place and enough money to be on our own.
I wasnt fully healed I remember pains coming back to me with my vision blurring due to the nuclear that had destroyed some of me eye nerves but I spent months going to the hospitals with a job on top of that but finally after one year I was good to go good and clean.
Then you happened" I said looking at Abelardo who grimaced.
I felt him pull me closer while wiping my tears.
I didn't even notice I was crying and even sweating until he wiped it off me with a kiss on my forehead.
I mean I literally spilled my past in the hands of people who I trusted but still could turn me in.
I was legally a criminal who hid in the shadows of the unknown participants of a camp that stole and used other gang's assets to develop their technology.
But at the same time I wasnt a criminal at all because the camp was well somehow related to the government but the way they worked was very far away from legal or even good.
Standing up I looked at Arabi whose head was bent between her two palms probably triggered or even crying in there.
No one said a thing for the whole time and I was grateful because I didn't need any encouragement or pity speeches because I got that a lot when I was in some places and some of them came off as fake in one way or another.
"So any of you want a special treat for lunch?" I asked smiling their way.
All of them looked at me weirdly as some wondered if I was mentally okay but they needn't to worry because I knew I was good.
Blame the mood switches to the pregnancy because I knew that I was freaked out troubled and scared inside but in the time like this I was trained not to.
"So guys I brought these" Arham barged in the house carrying two Chinese bags while looking at me and a surprised face came along when he saw the two men sitting in my living room.
"Where is my fucking snacks!?" I asked through gritted teeth.
"I am sorry but Denise got a hold of them and she wouldn't let go" he said guilt showing in his eyes.
