As I enter the room others follow me. I am looking at his face and trying to keep cool. I don't want to be near him. But I have no other choice, if I want to survive then I have to take him and swollow my anger.
-How are you?-Jesse stands next to me and smiles. His sky blue eyes are taking me attention and I can think about nothing else, but him.
-I have been better.-I smile and avoid his gaze. I look at Dominic who is giving his usual speech. -What about you?
-Good. -He looks down and can't look inside my eyes.-Look, we may have mission together and... I thought maybe we could... I mean to know each other better... We could hand out sometimes...? If you want of course.
-Sure. -I smile and look back at Dominic again. Strange, I have been dreaming about this for a year now and when he asks me out I feel nothing.
-Dear new comers.-Dominic starts his speech an now we all have to be quiet.-I am happy to see you all here. My name is Dominic Smith and I will teach you how to kill. This.-He points and Lizzie and she goes next to him.-This is Lizzie Simons and she will help you to adjust here. -Now he will have to introduce all of us, the elders.-This is Jesse Donovan.-Jesse grins at other and stands next to Lizzie.-He will teach you how to survive in the wild. She -Dominic looks at Winnie. -She is Winnie Hampshire and she will teach you madicine. He is Adrian Horris and he will teach you perfect escapes. -He went on telling names and introducing them, now I am the only one left and wander what I will teach them.-She is Alexandra Smith, my gtanddaughter and unfortunately she will not teach you anything. -What?! Even if we have missions when we are here we should teach new comers. Is he going to kill me?!-She will be away in a fortnight on her mission and won't be able to come until the end of the year. -Where am k going?! -But before that she will be your special guest as she has been here for longer time than anyone else in this compound. -Everyone is looking at me, he has never talked about me that sweetly. It means that something bad is about to happen.-Now you can all go and leave me and Alexis alone for a moment.
Everyone is going out one by one and giving me pitty faces. They know how much Dominic hates me and they can consider how shitful thing is going to happen.
-How are you?-Dominic smiles and sits on one of the chairs. -You remaind me of your father you know? That's why I hate you so much. He has never been smart, that's why he died. If he wasn't so stupid he would now more likely be alive and not lying in the grave cold.-I try hard not to say anything. But he isn't stopping.-Do you know what he wished for you? He wanted you to study in the university and be as ar away from the family business as possible. -He laughs out loud and looks im my eyes. He has just destroyed my life by that look. -At first I thought to give you education as my son wanted, but then I understood that I had no one except you to live that business after i die. At first I thought to live it all to Christian, but you know he betrayed me and ran away. I couldn't find him, I was searching but he got away. Well, until he came back for you, then he got killed. -What?! I never thought that Chris died because of me. I didn't know that... No, no, no he must be lying. -He didn't want you to see his death, but I decided that you should watch it. Now look thanks to that you are perfect killer, So I decided to send you in school. -I stare at him. Send me to school? - of course you will have to spy on someone and try not to get killed, Jason will give you all the information about mission. But I have to warn you...
-don't worry.-I say in a low voice and he stares at me. -I won't try to run away like Chris, unlike him I have to do something and kill you. -now I am laughing out loud and he stares surprised at me. -What? You thought I would never want the revange?! I will kill you and show your dead body to everyone then throw it to dogs for food. -Dominic stares at me with wild and fearful eyes. -So don't worry. I will not run until see you dead.
I stand up and go out of the hall, shutting the door behind me.
-Is everything okay?-Lizzie asks me im a worried voice and starts looking for cuts.
-Yes. -I smile, I have never been that happy.-I am going to school in two weeks. -Lizzie and others stare at me as I say that. -He told me to go to Jason and that he will tell me everything.
Lizzie nods and I go down the corridor.
