His Rebel

Layla's POV

The sound of the gunshot echoed through the room as Matheo pulled his trigger.

It had hit right at the spot on the dartboard. Leo clapped his hand as he leaned away from the wall he was leaning on and came forward towards where Mattheo stood with his gun.

Mattheo pushed his ash-dyed hair back as he had a proud smile on his face, "You pass this test Mattheo. You can now enter the next stage." Leo announced and Mattheo took the seat where the people who were cleared sat. And till now, there were only 2 including him.

"Layla, you may come ahead," Leo called me out and I got up from my chair and made my way to the front. He gave me a gun and I held it carefully as I positioned myself to aim at the black dot right in the middle. Closing my left eye, I adjusted my arm and pulled the trigger as it hit right at the dot.

"Bravo Layla, you keep on impressing me. This would be the best one yet after Mattheo's." Leo told me and I couldn't help the smile which stretched on my lips. "Well, I trained my ass off to reach here," I told him and he nodded his head.

"Whose gang are you from again?" He asked. "Jasper Simmons," I told him and he looked at me amused. "Wow, I didn't know he had such talented people in his gang. I'm glad you would be a part of our unit." He told me and I looked at him with widened eyes.

"This means that I pass?" I asked and he nodded his head smiling at me. "Oh yes, I approve of you." He said and I jumped as I squealed in excitement. He chuckled at my response.

"Well now I've analyzed your performance and only the 3 of you will be joining our new unit. The rest could go back to their respective gangs." He announced and I saw the rest 20 or something leave the room with a disappointed look on their faces.

"How could a girl like her clear this test and not me? Aren't you guys favoring her cause she's a woman and you just wanna make her one of your sluts?" The guy I remembered being with the blonde girl said, as he looked at me with a judgemental look on his face. He had the same dirty blonde hair as the girl and from the resemblance between them, it was quite clear they were siblings or may be related.

The rest with him started agreeing as they talked among themselves and nodded their head in approval. I was about to say something and diss his ass when I heard a voice.

"You wouldn't be saying such a petty thing if only you had the balls to clear the test. Only fucking losers like you say shit like that after they're defeated." A stern yet hoarse voice echoed through the room and all heads turned towards the doorway where stood a frowning Sinn.

It was the first time I was hearing him say something cause yesterday, he only threw daggers my way and dug holes through my whole body with his eyes. His voice held such dominance in it that it made me want to shudder in fear but at the same time made this uneasy feeling in my stomach?

He entered the room and glared at the guy with his piercing grey eyes making the guy and the others who were agreeing with him all gulp and look down at their feet in embarrassment.

"Now get the fuck out or you want me to make you?" He glared at them and they panicked as I saw the guy who insulted me about to trip when he ran out of the room.

I almost cackled when I saw him, but I managed to compose myself. I noticed Sinn staring at me from the corner of my eyes.

"We were waiting for you Sinn, where's Yuri?" Leo asked him. "Caught up in his Yakuza stuff." He said blankly with a stoic expression now and I wondered how come this human being does not show a single human emotion. It's as if he's made up of Ice always giving the cold shoulder. Leo and Yuri seemed pretty chill as they even smiled but he, no.

"Oh, then I guess it'll take him some while so why don't you try your tests on them if you want to cause for me they all pass," Leo informed Sinn and he just listened to him before he turned to me.

"You," he pointed his eyes at me and I was taken aback by his sudden interest in me. "Me?" I pointed at myself as I asked for his confirmation.

"Who else do you think I'm looking at." He retorted, and I stared at him as the earings in his left ear shined when he talked.

"Come." He ordered flatly and I gawked at him cause my dirty head interpreted it as something else. "What?" I let out confused about what I was hearing.

He closed his eyes and reopened them as he said, "Come at me. I want to see your defense." Oh, so that's what he meant. I'm finally going insane.

"Come? At you? Why would I do that?" I asked him perplexed by why does he wanna fight me, I mean of course, he'll win seeing the build of his body, the clothes he was wearing toned his biceps.

He stared at me, his eyes remained cold, "Do as I say. Come at me now." He stated once again but I still didn't give in.

"And I asked you why?" I stood to my point. I crossed my arms across my chest. I knew I was testing his patience but I was also enjoying him cause he was finally talking and his voice was like a song I could hear all day. But I need to tell myself to not be so stubborn cause it might just backfire on me.

"You don't get words do you, Rebel," he said and I stared at his eyes, which were piercing right through me, sent shudders down my body. Did he just call me Rebel?

His cold gaze made the fire lit in my body, I couldn't help but stare back at him.

In just seconds he had tackled me and twisted my arm all around my back and locked it, making me helpless. "What the fuck?" I was exasperated as I was caught off guard by his move.

"You should pay more attention to your opponent's move rather than staring and talking too much." Sinn's words hit right at me and I couldn't help but feel the heat of his body radiate on my back at how close he was to me. I felt warm breaths fanning across my ear as he stood behind me holding me in place.

I tried pushing him away from me but his grip only tightened making me wince in pain. "Her self-defense's still weak. I'll take her under me."

These were the last words he said, as he let go of my arm and exited the room, leaving both me and the rest in the room including Leo confused as fuck.
