I killed them, so what?

Chapter Twenty-One

Fuck this hurts. I pried my eyes open and was blinded by the white walls and lights of the hospital. I turn my head and stare at Axel who was sleeping in the chair next to me. I turn my head the other way around and look at the clock on the wall.

3am

"Axel," I called my voice croaking. "Axel!"

"Hmm? Oh Cecil, how are you feeling?" he asked kneeling at my side.

"I'm fine, I thought I told Michael to look after you? Where is he? What if someone tried to kill you?"

"Whoa calm down, you're the one whose hurt and anyway I sent Michael home to take a shower, he stunk, plus he was going to start looking for Sam."

"Water," I croaked again. He stood up and walked to the bench on the side with the jug of water. "What do you mean look for Sammy?"

Axel handed me the water and sat back in the chair looking at me with pity.

"We can't find him," he whispered. I stared at him in shock.

"For how long?" I demanded sitting up in the bed.

"Hey calm down, he's been missing for a day, it's probably nothing serious."

I flop back down on the bed sighing. I was still worried but I couldn't do anything now, not in this state.

"Who was Luke anyway?" Axel asked.

"He worked for Levin," I said.

"Levin? As in the new kid at school?" I nodded. "So now I have a super assassin and two twin assassins on my ass?"

"Anastasia and Hansel are harmless. They may be assassins and quite well known but against me they're like bugs." Axel chuckled.

"How did you get into all this anyway?" he asked quietly.

"How I came to do what I do you mean?" he nodded. "I was thirteen. Kidnapped by Dimitri Amsel, Anastasia and Hansel's father. He kidnapped me for the money that he hoped my father would pay to get me back. When my father didn't pay he kept me as his own daughter and trained me to be an assassin. I trained with the twins, I ended up becoming his best pupil, this made Anastasia really mad. She's hated me ever since, and well you know Hansel has the opposite feelings for me. When I turned fifteen, it was as if something came over my father and he wanted me back. He paid the sum and Dimitri gave me back. But my father only wanted me as a pawn in his business world. I was to marry the son of the Summer's company, my father wanted to join his company with Summer's. I killed him, the son, his name was Dante, he was a huge pervert and one day I accidently got him involved in a job. He got caught in the cross fire and died instantly. His father wanted nothing to do with us ever again and my father left me alone ever since. Until my seventeenth birthday, I killed them, my parents. And now I'm here." I sighed in relief as I finished telling him my life story.

He replied with silence. He stood up and gave me a hug. A strong hug that felt safe. Safer than I had ever felt. I wrapped my arms around his waist. We stayed like this for a long time.

"I'm sorry," he whispered in my ear.

"Don't be, I don't want' your pity," I replied back.

"I didn't finish,"

"Finish then," I said pulling back to look at him.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but I'm here now." I stared at him in shock. Tears welled in my eyes and poured out as I pulled him into a kiss.

"You're here now," I whispered.
