La Nuit Tourne Paranormal

Chapter Ten

:::Itsuki's POV:::

I wake up from the sofa in the small room of the Eiffel Tower as I realize I passed out here... Kenzo's going to be pissed that I didn't report back to him last night... I sigh out as I text Kenzo the signal as I lean back against the sofa closing my eyes.

Faye's also going to be upset I left and never returned, she shouldn't have been so sharp with her tongue. If she ever says anything like that again I'll kill her. I shrug off my thoughts as I sit up stretching my arms out.

I have to go back to the safe house... maybe I should pop in on Zella... thanks to my soul contract I can feel exactly where she is. What if she's showering? What if she doesn't want to see me? I close my eyes trying to hide from my thoughts as I deeply sigh.

I should leave her be... it's not like she's going anywhere, once I complete this mission I can go back to her... why do I feel so drawn to her? I haven't been able to get her off of my mind since I met her, it's strange.

My phone buzzing pulls me out of my thoughts as I slide up on the message, showing a text from Kenzo involving the details about the drop spot tonight. I clench my jaw realizing I have to go back to the safe house and face Faye.

I gather myself as I walk towards the doors leading to the outside as I grip the handle and close my eyes, one more day until I see her. I open the door as it leads into the safe house, shutting the door behind me alerting Faye sitting on the small couch.

She glares at me with her arms crossed.
"Where were you?"
Her demanding tone easily irritates me.
"None of your business, the details are in... we leave at midnight." I ignore her glare as I walk past the sofa towards the small kitchen... I wish I were back at the quarters so I could cook for Zella.

I stare at the small cooler as I open it and grab out a sandwich and a water bottle.
"None of my business? You left me here alone." I hear her from behind me as I turn to her with my eyebrow raised.
"You're a capable person, you don't need protection." I take a bite of my sandwich as she crosses her arms back and stomps her foot pissed off.
"You break the rules of the deal... the deal is off." She narrows her eyes at me as she tries to act like I give a shit about her plan... I never wanted to do it this way anyway.

My plans are always dangerous though... Kenzo would never agree.
"Suki! Are you listening to me?" I nod back to her as I realize I stopped listening even though she continued to talk.
"I said, so what will it be."

I think over her words for a moment as I continue to eat my sandwich... I just have to go the rest of the day with her then it's over.
"Fine, Faye I won't leave the safe house."
She smiles at me as her composure completely changes... crazy how once she gets her way she's a different person.

I roll my eyes at her as I turn and throw my trash away taking a sip of my water bottle. I take a seat on the small fold up chair propping my feet up on the cooler, facing away from her... just because we have to be here together doesn't mean I have to deal with her.

I hear her scoff from behind me as I slowly hear her stomp away from me back towards the sofa. She acts like a lost dog sometimes... I shake my head at the thought as I lean the chair back balancing on two legs. I wonder what Zella's up to? I clench my jaw as I try to push away my thoughts... I think about her far more than I'd prefer.

There's nothing I can do to stop it though, all I can do is continue to do what I feel is right... and somehow she feels right. I trust her, I'm going to tell her about my past... about my role in my parents death.

I was wrong to keep it from her for this long... Faye's words suddenly haunt me... what if the information I tell her causes her demise? I wouldn't forgive myself... I'd kill myself.
