Chapter 2

I awaken in a dim room. I lie on a brown couch with a light purple blanket pulled over me. I scan the large room, noticing the red curtains and golden decor. Then my eyes rest on him. His dark hair and slim but muscular figure leaning against the window. I quietly swing my legs over the couch and begin to stand.

"You shouldn't be moving around just yet, that serum you were injected with appears to have kept you under for a full day." He turns to me, giving me an intimidating stare. I stand there, frozen. What?! I've never felt this way around anyone! What is going on?

"You can't tell me what to do!" I cross my arms.  As I take a step towards the boy, my legs give out. I feel my self fall into the arms of someone. "Huh?" I lift my head to see the boy.

"I told you not to move, now see what you've done to yourself!" He lifts me and carries me to the couch. "You will stay here until my say."

"No! I'll be fine! I just need water... and maybe food..." I turn away from him. What is wrong with me? I should slap him for even thinking to touch me! Who does he think he is?!

"If I get you these, will you promise to stay until you are healed?" He turns away from me and starts towards the door.

Slowly I turn my head. "Very well." And with that he leaves. "As soon as I regain my strength, I must continue with my mission...." An hour or two passes before the boy returns.

He places a glass of water and a small plate of toast with jelly on a side table. "I never got your name?" He looks to me.

"I don't go handing out personal information to strangers." I cross my arms. "However, I suppose I must thank you for the food." I turn towards the plate and pic up a piece of toast.

"Luca Moyaux." He says putting his hand towards me.

"What?" I say swallowing hard.

"You said your 'don't hand out personal information to strangers.' Now that I've introduced myself, you can hardly call me a stranger." I bring my hand to my chin.

"This is true. It'd be rude of me and you DID save my life... I am y/n Ventris." I place my hand in his.

He slowly raises it to his lips, gently kissing it. As he brings it from his lips, he says, "Nice to meet you Miss Ventris!"

My cheeks grow warm. "A-And I y-you..." Turning my face away, I clear my throat. "I am feeling much better, and would like to collect my things and speak with the headmaster." Why am I acting this way? I am a trained assassin! I must remember my duties!

"Of course! If you'd just come with me I'll take you to Head Masters." He gestures towards the door. I nod and force a smile. Together we make our way down the halls. We stop at a large wooden door. "Well, here we are. Uh, I hope we have the chance to speak again?" He says before opening the door.

I turn towards him and fake a smile. "Yeah! However, I must say I won't be staying at this school long! Thank you again, for rescuing me." I say before closing the large door behind me.

"You must be Miss Ventris? I am Headmaster Rolfe, a pleasure to meet you!" A handsome man with shoulder length brown hair and green eyes says. This man can't be any older than 25! How is he a headmaster?

"Y/N, Y/N Ventris. And the pleasure is all mine! Thank you for letting me attend this school!" I give him a smile.

"Yes! And we are pleased to have you here! I'll have someone show you to your room, and here are your classes!" He says handing me a piece of paper.

"Thank you! But I can find my way to my room. I'd like to explore around as well, if that's ok as well?" I say picking up my bag.

"Ah yes! Be on your way!" He walks over to the window and gazes out. "I hope you find this school to meet your satisfactions." He says barely loud enough for me to hear.

I turn and start towards the door. "Have a good day Headmaster." I say rolling my eyes. And with that I head out towards my dorm.

I need to finish this mission quickly. The sooner I get out of here, the better!
