A.S.S.A 16 [Editing]

Chapter 13

He gave me a look filled with pure hatred.

Andre was seated on his bed when he received a phone call from Mr Lucas.

"Mr stark" he greeted

"Why are you calling so late at night?" Andre whispered, he didn't want to wake Damien who was sleeping so soundly on the couch.

"Let's have a drink, there's something I'd like us to discuss" he said and Andre got curious.

Andre met up with Mr Lucas at a nearby Diner.

"What is it that you wanted to talk about?" Andre asked impatient.

"Two spicy beef soup, please" Mr Lucas said to the waiter and turned to face Andre.

"Don't you just love soup?" He asked

"If you have nothing to say, I'm leaving" Andre said and got up.

"Patience, child, have you forgotten that I am on your side? I do have something to discuss" he said and Andre sat back down.

"When I was a little boy, I was always outshone by my little brother, he was smarter than me, faster and by far stronger" Mr Lucas started and Andre hummed to show he was listening.

"My brother would always treat me like trash, he would always say things like 'Only the strong deserve to live' or 'The strong were born to oppress the weak' and he acted on those words, he revelled in his power, I looked up to him, even though he was my younger brother, I looked up to him and I loved him" He chuckled and continued

"But, 16 came along and she took my brother away from me, he was the only family I had and she took him from me, just like she took your parents away from you" he said and Andre clenched his fists

"I didn't come to tell you my back story but to offer you an appetizing proposal-"

"Here's your spicy beef soup" the waiter said and placed two steamy soups in front of them and left.

"I want you to get stronger, Andre" Mr Lucas said and Andre's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"I want to train you, to the point that you'd at least stand a chance against 16" he said

"Train me? You want me to fight?"

"Isn't that want you wanted?"

"What I want is to take 16, down"

"I've been studying 16 for almost half my life and trust me when I say that this, is the only way to take her down." Mr Lucas said.
"If it's too overwhelming then you don't have to, but 16 is free, probably planning how she'd kill you, or worst, your little brother" he said and Andre glared at him

"She might come any moment and.......swish" he made a gesture of slicing his throat with his finger.
"Slice your throat, isn't that what she did to your parents?" Mr Lucas taunted.

"Andre, I have people that can help you to become just as strong as 16, I just need you to trust me, do you trust me?" He asked and stretched his hands forward.

Andre's common sense was clouded by hate and revenge so he took the devil's hand.

"I trust you" he said making Mr Lucas smile.

Everyday, Andre met Mr Lucas at the institute, Andre didn't know what the institute was really about, some of the teachers who trained the other assassins came to train him.

The truth was, Mr Lucas didn't actually care about training Andre, he knew that no matter how hard Andre trained he would never stand a chance against 16, what he really wanted was to use Andre as bait, he knew she'd come to him if Andre was involved. But he didn't mind playing around and hurting Andre, after all it was fun to him.

It was the 3rd week of training and Andre was sparing against one of the trainers.
"Aaargh! My arm!" Andre cried out in pain, he had broken his arm while sparing against one of the trainers.

"Oh no! Have we been training you too hard?" Mr Lucas feigned concern.

"No, it's fine, I can go on" he said and quickly got up he ran his hands through his silvery white hair and his eyes grew dark, Andre was strong and he was driven by will power which made him even stronger.

"That's right go on, cuz that's exactly what 16 is doing" Mr Lucas hyped.

"Sir, would you like to test the serione on him now?" Dr June whispered. Dr June became the head doctor after Dr flora died.

"No, it's too early, we both know that the serione might kill him, I'll present it to him, when I'm sure he trusts me and when I'm sure our plan will work" Mr Lucas said and Dr June nodded in agreement.

After some hours, Andre was seated, he was receiving treatment from the several injuries he had acquired during the training.

"Good job today" Mr Lucas said and handed him a drink

"Do you really think, I'd be able to handle 16? " Andre asked doubtful

"Of course! You are a very brave and strong man Andre, some people might not have survived this"

"Okay"

"Your parents were also very strong people, they were incredibly intelligent too, they made a lot of drugs that helped people, I was even in partnership with them at one point" Mr Lucas said and Andre smiled

"Really?"

"Yeah" too bad you didn't follow in their pharmaceutical footsteps" he added

"Actually, my brother did, he loves mixing up different drugs and chemicals, he's made an animal tranquilizer before, but he doesn't have a licence to practice it yet" Andre said, his emerald green eyes shun while talking about Damien and Mr Lucas smiled in amazement

"I guess you are all very talented in your family, I want to give you something" he said and handed Andre a gift box.

Andre opened it and his eyes widened in surprise, it was a gun. It had a blue butterfly design on it, it was the same one that Mr Lucas had given 16.

"Wh-why?-"

"It's for training and defense against 16, you're welcome"

"I can't keep this"

"That's fine then, but 16 always carries her gun around"
Andre's green eyes scanned the gun and he imagined if he had a gun the day his parents were murdered, they'd probably still be alive.

"I'd keep it, just for now" Andre said

"I have a feeling that we're finally going to take down 16."
