An assassins pride

chapter 16: cold promises

I sat in the cold wind as the flowers swayed around me. Despite me knitting, and being in a comforting space, I still felt scared.

I had been out here for hours. I had thought long and hard about all I heard, but I'm doing so, I just caused me to do a 360 degree turn back to where I came from.

I was back to fearing for ink.

I couldnt get it out of my head again. His smile flooded my thoughts, and images of him being bloodied across the floor made me start crying.

I dropped my needles due to my hands violently shaking. I couldnt stop them. I just curled up as the world seemed to cave in. Everything seemed so loud and big. The wind and rustling of the flowers threatened to pop my eardrums.

I curled up and burried my head into my knees, my hands above my head, holding me securely.

I sob audibly into my knees, whining and crying loudly. I couldnt stop it. I have a feeling it wouldnt stop even if I tried.

Everything was so loud.

Make it shut up

Please-

Everything just  SHUT  UP.

"Error..?"

!

I look up to see ink on the cobblestone path, not far from me. His face held a concerned look, and he looked worried for me.

He wore some comfortable cotton sleep clothing, the colors being black with hints of white and gold. Over that, He wore a think jacket that looked warm and comfortable.

Why was he here..?

I just start whipping my tears to the best of my abilities, trying to hold back more whimpers and tears, but to no avail.

It seemed no matter how hard I tried, tears kept flooding down my face, and no matter how hard I tried to stay quiet, a whimper of sorrow always seemed to find a way through my lips.

I heard the footsteps of ink quickly coming to my aid and I continued to try and wipe my tears.

He kneeled down in front of me and set both of his fringed hands on my cheeks. He used his cold thumb to wipe my tear from my cheek, although I continued to cry.

"Error.. what happened..?" Ink says. His voice was soft and caring like usual.

And it would be gone soon.

I'm gonna have to kill him-

Who knows when I could hear his voice for the last time-

The mere thought of it broke me..

I suddenly started sobbing louder and shaking violently. Inks eyes immediately turned to panic and he quickly sat down beside me and pulled me into his embrace. He took off his jacket and set it on me gently, pulling me close to wear my head was resting on his chest. One hand wrapped around my waist, while the other rested gently on the back of my head.

I couldnt stop sobbing.

I just gripped onto his shirt and cried into his chest. He sat their and didnt stop me.

I didn't stop for what felt like hours..

But yet

For those 'hours' I sat their

Ink sat with me.

He never left my side, and never let go of me. He sat corressing my scull and whispering to me that he would protect me. Whispering that everything was gonna be alright.
