A.S.S.A 16 [Editing]

Chapter 28

The monster that you chained
Might just be set free.

Aurora's POV

It'd been three days since I met with my grandmother, three days since I found my older brother, three days since I discovered my name.

Anthony was at our apartment. He begged me to come stay with him at his house but I didn't want to.

I might be more human now but I still have many demons and moving in with him would put both him and my friends in danger, I couldn't take any risks until I was sure both Mr Lucas and my father are 6 ft under.

I hadn't seen Damien for three days, according to Andre he was still at the lab working on something.

I hadn't seen much of Nina either, yesterday she told me that she met a guy she liked and when I asked if she still liked Damien her eyes went dim, according to her she was tired of chasing after someone who would never look in her direction.

And now I was on my way to see Damien, I wanted to apologise to him about what I had said. I knocked on the lab door and when I got no response I just walked in.
The room reeked. The smell of conc. chemicals filled the room and I couldn't help but wonder how he'd been here for three whole days.

I spotted him, he was at a corner taking notes, when he noticed me he took of his glasses and rose a brow.

"What?" He asked, his hair was messy and his skin was a little pale but he didn't fail to look effortlessly handsome.

"Can we talk?" I asked and he sighed

"If you want to make things awkward by apologising, please piss off, I'm busy" he said and put his glasses back on.

I involuntarily clenched my fists, why is he making this harder than it already is.

"I don't care if it gets awkward, I'm sorry" I said and even added a smile

"Your words fueled me to work, so it's fine" he said and began to walk toward me.

"Aurora" he said when he was right in front of me.
The sound of my name in his mouth sounded so natural, the same way it sounded when Andre said it for the first time.

"Am I forgiven?" I asked and his face gave no emotion

"I found out something" he said ignoring my question

"And what's that?"

He told me that he had broken down the serione and it's contents matched with one of his parents experiments.

"In their research book, they were working on a drug that could enhance a person's physical ability,  it was intended to help those with deformities but I think Mr Lucas stole the idea...."

"And has been giving it to the assassins" I completed his sentence.

It finally made sense, every A.S.S.A was too overpowered,  incomparable to a normal person.

"So I'm a serione addict?" I chuckled

"I won't say that, you've been without it for months now, it's strange but I guess your lucky"
