The gangster's little unknown assassin - Part 2 ✔

Chapter 23 - Shauwn Part 2 - Cousin

SHAUWN'S POV

The girl has a mark on the left side of her neck. If it wasn't impossible for her to be a Sinner, I could swear that she belonged to my family.

And, just to make sure that I'm not seeing things, I rub my eyes for a few seconds to clear my vision. When I open them again, I still see the same weird-shaped mark on her neck like mine.

"What the hell is going on?" I ask the girl while eying her mark. I'm starting to get agitated and annoyed, and with a Sinner that is never a good combination.

"Here we go again." Jazim trowed up his hands in the air and complained. "Another bitch whose mother made her tattoo your family's mark to 'convince us' that she's your uncle's daughter. And here I trough that shit had stopped six years ago."

"At least this one does actually look like Sin. Heck, I'll give her mother some credit, the mark is even in the same spot as him!" Jazim starts fidgeting with his hands on his pockets and the girl looks a bit worried. I keep on studying her reaction, trying to see if she cracks and admits that Jazimis right, but the only thing I see is that she is confused, worried, annoyed, and slightly irritated.

I don't know if she's a really good actress or if she doesn't know what's going on for real. This shit is making me feel torn...

"Let's get this shit over with." Jazim says as he finally finds whatever he was looking for in his pockets.

With one hand closed tightly around a small object, Jazim takes a step towards the girl. Immediately the girl sits up and puts a protective hand over her belly, her eyes frantic looking around the room and when she looks gaze with me she looks scared out of her mind, almost like she was pleading with me for help.

My heart starts beating so fast it feels as if it was trying to escape my chest. I look down at the girl's protective hand over her stomach and it's then that I notice the small bump.

She is pregnant... And Jazim is walking towards her with an unknown object in his hands.

Slowly, I watch as the girl's right-hand creeps under her pillow. and the left one wraps over her bump more protectively. And, just as I was going to call back Jazim the door of this room bangs open, and there, in all his glory stands my uncle in a wheelchair with a gun pointed at Jazim...

"ONE MORE FUCKING STEP AND I'LL BLOWN YOUR BRAINS OUT!" Uncle James yells at the top of his lungs.

Jazim freezes on spot and looks at my uncle with his eyes wide. Cassiopeia has her jaw wide open and her eyes the size of saucers while I, on the other hand, am too shocked to react other than stare at the scene in front of me.

Just then my mother rushes in and runs towards the girl, completely ignoring the scene she just walked in on.

"Sage!" My mother loudly calls the girl. "Let go of the knife, love, come on Sage. Answer me, damn it!"

The girl or Sage as my mother called her, looks around her slowly and warily and gradually lets go of the knife she has under her pillow, fixing her gaze on me.

A loud and very irritating fast beeping can be heard in the room, Sage starts hyperventilating and my mother looks a bit panicked.

"Sage, they won't hurt you. I swear! No one will touch you!" My mother quickly and in a panicking voice tells her.

"They all said that... but it didn't stop it from happening." Sage brokenly whispers and starts turning paler and paler by the second. The way she said those words make my skin crawl and my heart squeeze painfully, her steady gaze on me is unnerving, making me feel as if she is speaking those words directed at me.
