The Ruby wolf (Original)

You're under my watch, darling.

It's been another year now, and I'm eighteen. Me and Quess are still dating, he's been perfect to me, and never judges me for my job. My boss on the other hand, still thinks I took on the commission and killed him. My boss wants to know where I keep going, but Jess and John are great liars. Anyway, today someone tried to kill Quess again, so without wearing my glove, I slapped the attacker across the face. When I got back to my dorm though, it was weird. Neither Jess, or John were there, and there wasn't a note or anything. Just then, there was a knock on my door, so I answered it. It was my boss. When he saw me, he said;

"Yes, follow me, boy. You've something to explain and confess."

I shook my head and said;

"Is it possible that you've the wrong room, sir? I've done nothing wrong, that I know of."

My boss then sighed loudly in annoyance and grabbed my wrist. He then pulled me down the hall into his office where I saw Jess and John in handcuffs. I paused, and then looked at my boss. I looked at Jess, and she had a panicked look on her face. That's not a look that I've ever seen on Jess, so it must be something important, or dangerous. I looked back at my boss and said;

"What did they do, to deserve this from you?"

My boss laughed and then shoved me down in a chair. When her did, two people from behind him grabbed my arms and cuffed them behind me. My boss then said;

"I know about your little boyfriend. You were supposed to kill him, not date him. But, with you, I'll make a deal. How's that sound?"

Without looking intimidated, I said;

"What are you trying to get me to agree on?"

My boss then sat down at his desk and said;

"You can continue protecting lover boy, BUT. If I end up killing him, all you and your friends die. If you can kill me... you can have my spot as the head hitman of this gang. What do you say? Protect lover boy and your friends, or die right here, right now, boy?"

I looked down. There was obviously one choice. I had to keep on protecting everyone. There were now three lives on my hands, but knowing that my opponent was my boss, I didn't know what to do. He has access to anything and everything. He could shoot me now if he wanted. But, instead, he uncuffed me and then pushed me out of his office. I then looked down the hall and put my hands in fists. I then jumped out the window, and shot my grappling hook to Quesses house. When I got there, I landed on the floor of his bedroom really hard. When he saw me, he quickly sat up in bed and in a worried tone, said;

"Elijah... What? What's the matter? Is there a update at work or something?"

I got in my knees next to his bed and explained everything. As I explained, Quess nodded or looked scared. When I was done explaining everything, he said;

"So, it's not lower level hitmen anymore? It's now your fucking boss out for my head? What did I even do to deserve all this...?"

I shook my head and said;

"You're under my protection, darling. You have no reason to fear being alive."

Quess then hugged me, and pulled me onto his bed. When I was on, I looked at him and said;

"Uh... Quess, honey... Why am I on your bed?"

Quess then laid down and said;

"Because it's five in the morning, I'm tired, and you make me feel safe. You're staying here tonight. You can even move in if you wish."

I know some of the people in my gang that don't live at the base, and live elsewhere, but I never really thought about joining that group. I didn't have to think about it now, because my one love, and first friend my age was in danger. So, I laid down too, and said;

"Sure. I'll never leave your side."

A few hours later, I opened my eyes to find Quess still asleep on my chest. A few minutes after me, Quess opened his eyes too, and then got off me and said;

"Sorry. I usually sleep in that area... Not used to sharing a bed, anymore. Heh..."

I lifted his chin and said;

"Darling, it's okay. You're under my watch, so do whatever makes you comfortable. It's your house after all... Or is it your parents house?"

Quess laughed and said;

"It's my parents house. My dad went to the military, and my mom's always at work though, so I guess you could say it's my house."

I smiled and then got up. I held out my hand and said;

"Do you want to give get food? The first time I came here, you said I looked starved, look at yourself. Let's get you something to eat."

As soon as I opened Quesses door, something got thrown at me, so I tackled Quess to the floor. When the object hit the wall I took off my gloves and ran out, closing the door behind me. It was my boss, and ten other people. HOW THE FUCK DID THEY FIND THIS PLACE?! AM I GOING TO HAVE TO KILL PART OF MY GANG?! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING. But, in order to protect Quess, I flipped over their attacks, kicked, hit, cut, and death touch. When only my boss was left, he laughed at me and said;

"Seems like you're too advanced for them... As much was expected. The Ruby wolf and his death touch curse will win over all... Oh! But the Wolf, doesn't know what to do with himself... He killed his old boss, because he was told to. I've been after you for years. That's why I shot your boss. That's why we're here. Everything happens for a reason. And your reason to be here today... is to die today."

He then pulled out two knives and said;

"Bring it."

When I didn't move, he threw a knive at me, I dodged it, but I didn't know the thing was a boomerang. It flew back at me, and hit me right in the leg. I pulled it out, and ran at him. He wasn't expecting that, but I think he was more scared of the look on my face. It wasn't normal, for me. My look was only rage, he then jumped out the window, and grappled away from here. When I opened Quesses door, he was under his bed tornado drill style. I got on my knees and looked under his bed and said;

"They're gone. My 'clean up crew' will be here soon to get the bodies. You have no reason to be scared anymore."

My leg then gave out, and I put pressure on where the knife wound was. When I hit the floor, Quess quickly got out from under his bed, and pulled me onto his lap. He then looked at me worried and said;

"I'm going to need to treat the wound. Either you need to let me cut your pants, or you need to take them off. Which one would you prefer?"

I was in too much pain to be moving a lot, so I said;

"Just cut them, Quess. And treat it well. I'm not going to any kind of hospital."

Quess then took scissors from his bedside table and cut my pants up to the wound. He then put on some hand sanitizer, and poured some of his water from a water bottle on it. When it started bleeding more, he grabbed a shirt from one of his baskets, and applied pressure on it. Soon enough, it stopped bleeding, and he wrapped it up. He then picked me up and put me on his bed. I then looked at my leg and said;

"Thank you... And where did you learn how to treat a stab wound? Do you just have a lot of time on your hands... Or...?"

Quess laughed and said;

"I had a lot of time on my hands when my parents started ignoring me... So I took my time to learn useful things like CPR, hand signs, how to treat serious wounds, and ETC."

I laughed and said;

"You chose to spend your time well, love. At my gang, we're required to learn how to treat it. For the test on it, the instructor would put a wound on us, and those who didn't learn, didn't live. Heh... I was taught the hard way."

Quess then sat next to me and hugged me. This feeling of affection is still foreign to me, but I'm getting used to it. Then, I realized that I found the one. I was here to protect him, and he was here to protect me. I never want to leave his side. I hope I can kill my boss, and end this Chaos that I'm stuck in. I won't let him die. I'll protect his until my very last breath. Fuck all the promises I made in the past. Quess is by far, way more important to me then a promise.
