"Where's the girl?"

Mama stayed quiet and his face scrunched.

"I guess I'd just have to torture you till you talk"

He pulled out a knife and lifted her head high. He rose his other hand, ready to slice her throat.

My eyes shot open and I gasped for air, I was dreaming, that was the first dream i  had that wasn't about Andre, it was scary and i couldn't breathe.  I clasped my chest in an attempt to steady my breathing.

After a few minutes of gasping for air, I finally caught my breath and sat up on the bed to study my surroundings. From the looks of it I was in a hospital room.

Faint noises were heard from outside the door then Nina walked in holding a bowl and when her eyes landed on me she dropped it.

She stared at me agape without saying anything.

"Hi" I said and I was surprised by the sound of my own voice, it was faint.

"Sisi!!" She cried out and ran to embrace me. "We were so scared, we- we thought that we lost you"  she cried.

She was crying, for me?. It didn't take very long for me to wrap my head around everything.

"How long was I out?" I asked and she sat up and wiped her tears.

"3 months" she said and my mouth dropped.

3 months!!? I had estimated an hour or something, but 3 months!!

"I'm going to go tell Andre and Damien!"  She exclaimed and as if on cue they both walked in. My eyes automatically went to Andre he was holding flowers and looked effortlessly handsome.

His eyes landed on me and they widened, I couldn't stop staring at him and he at me.

"Your awake!" Damien exclaimed and I shifted my attention to him.

"Yeah" 

He looked shocked but he quickly masked it with his usual blank façade

" I'm happy your awake" Andre simply said with a small smile

"Can I speak to Andre........ alone?" I asked and Damien gave me a  distrustful glare before leaving

"It's good to have you back!" Nina smiled and then left too. Andre and I were alone in the room.

He walked over to me and sat on the bed. He was close, close enough for me to take a sniff of his perfume.  The last time he was this close was when he was trying to kill me.

"I'm sorry" He spoke not looking me in the eyes

"What for?" I replied almost immediately

"Everything, I judged you wrongly"  he said and rose his head to look at me. When our eyes locked I felt lightheaded

"Not entirely, Andre, I used to be an assassin and I am linked to your parents death" I said feeling guilty that he was apologizing

"You didn't kill them"

"But I killed several others" I said and he squinted "I'm not someone who deserves your apology or your kindness" I continued and looked away from him.

We stayed quiet for a few minutes before he finally spoke up.

"Damien told me a lot about you,  your a good person" he said and the irony of that was sickening.

"I don't want you to hate me Andre" I simply said and he looked taken aback before a smile crossed his pink lips

"I don't" he said the smile still plastered on his beautiful face.

I couldn't help but smile back.

Mama!! I remembered my internal screams from my dream

I was relieved about Andre but I couldn't relax, it felt as though I had won a battle but another had begun immediately.

Those dreams I had, they weren't just dreams, they were memories. I had lots of questions and I needed answers and I knew the only person who could give them to me. Mr Lucas.

"Please tell the doctor I'd like to be discharged today" I said to Andre

"Why?"

"I have something important to take care of " I smirked

I'm sure he would be thrilled to see me.
