The Assassins Heart

Caged Love

2014

I had been training all day but that's how my handlers liked it, they would train me long and hard so I would sleep and not cause problems. They didn't like it when I fought back and I had many times in my long life. I had had so many scars from my training and missions alike but most of them, the worst ones, were from the tortures they had inflicted upon me.

"She's in her cage right now, why what is going on?" I heard one of my guards talking, there was a murmuring in reply.
"Is the commander sure about this, she may try to kill him and him, her!" more murmuring.

Then a creak as a door opened, keys rattled and my cage door swung open.
I was sitting on my small cot bed in the far corner of this so-called room. Knees pulled up under my chin and arms wrapped tight around my legs.

"Soldat stand up," My guard barks out. Standing in one smooth motion and looking down at him
"You will have company for a while, you are not to attack or harm him in any way. And help him with his needs. Am I understood?" He asked. "Understood sir" I replied.

The guard walked out of my cage to the open door and nodded, a tall muscular man walked up to the cage and stopped.
"Soldat you are to stay here until called for, you are not to attack or harm the woman. Understood?" The guard repeated "Understood sir" The dark man said and walked into the cage.

With a clang the cage door closed and locked and the guard left the room.
The man stood staring at the back of the cage wall, I sat back on my cot thinking. I knew the man had been trained similarly to me but he seemed more rigid and harsh. Looking at his face trying to get his attention but his eyes never wavered from the cage.

Standing up, I walked up to him and into his line of sight, seeing his pupils dilate as they focused on my face. He took a deep breath gauging my scent and stared me down.
"What?" he asked in a dark gravelly voice.

He had dark hair that covered his face and blue eyes and what eyes they were, I can't help thinking. Stormy blue with touches of grey, they're a beautiful contrast to his dark hair and stood out all the more for it.
"Do you want to sit?" I ask, he blinks and looks at the cot.

Nodding he headed over and sat down. I follow and sit back in my corner again.
"Do you know why we've been put together?" I ask. He nodded again and looks into my eyes. "You are to help me, they said my body is frustrated and has a hormone imbalance," He said almost sheepishly.

Yes, he had been told why he was here with her, the scientists had been very specific about it and gone into detail of what he had to do. Thinking of it made his skin hot and flush, he reached a hand up to his face feeling the heat, he didn't understand what was happening but the scientists had obviously been right. Whatever this ailment was they said she could fix it for him but she didn't even know why he was here and telling her made him feel ashamed.

He looked at her again, she had startlingly clear blue eyes and very long white blonde hair and compared to him she looked very clean. He looked down at his one flesh hand, he still had blood under his nails from his last mission and dirt smeared his skin, they had told him to clean up before starting.

"Do you have a shower in here?" he asked looking around, seeing a frosted glass cubicle in the corner.
She nodded and pointed to some drawers.
"towels are in there" She says.

He got up and headed to the small box room grabbing a towel as he headed in. He started loosening his shoulder straps and undoing buttons on the leather body armour, he slipped it off his shoulders and dropped it to the floor. He untied his boots and took off his socks, standing straight he looked at the shower and turned on the hot water, letting it run until it heated up.
