Chloe's pov ~
India didn't even blink when I shouted out what she was, she didn't even try to deny it. I wasn't sure how to feel about her being an assassin, do I freak out or act calm?
Fuck calm I'm already scared shitless right now, just the thought of her killing someone sends a chill running down my spine. She looks at my every move, taking in my reaction of my knowledge of her job. Searching my eyes for something, what I'm not sure but once she found it she began talking slowly. Like she was speaking to a cornered and frightened animal, which is probably what I looked like right now.
"Yes I am an assassin. But not worry, I'm on you side Chloe." India's calm accented voice met my ears relaxing me. The fear that had built up inside me drifted away after she spoke, leaving a somewhat peacful feeling behind. Her voice was like honey, it made me feel warm and safe, like how a mother's voice is supposed to make you feel. I cringe at just the thought of my so called mother, those thoughts are shoved to the way back of my mind before my mood gets even worse than it already is.
"Why should I trust you? You kill people for a living." once the words left my mouth I was shocked, my words were like venom, making me sound like a bitch. Great Chloe, piss off the assassin that is willing to help you and could possibly kill you and not even spare you a backwards glance. Before I could apologies to her she holds up her hand stopping me from saying anything, "You right I kill people for living. But only bad people Chloe." Looking into India's eyes I try to find any sigh that she was lying to me, but I find none, her eyes were giving nothing away. Should I trust an assassin? Sure India says she will keep me safe but what if she's lying, has she said this to someone and later on killed them? Gained their trust saying she is a friend and then stabbing them in the back, literally.
Two separate hands laying themselves on my shoulders snaps me out of my inner thoughts, "She no bad person little one." Laurent's words cause my eyebrows to crash together, he says India isn't a bad person even though she kills other people for a living. Has he lost his mind?! Gazing up at Laurent I heave a big sigh, "Lau..but she..kills people." My voice is a whisper not wanting India to hear what I'm saying in case she gets affended and shoots me. I mentally roll my eyes at myself, gosh I'm so over dramatic sometimes. Feeling pressure being added to my other shoulder I look up to find Larry giving me his bunny smile, "You trust her cause we do, India good Chloe, trust me and my brother."
Larry's words make up my mind for me. I can trust my boys, so if they say India is a good person then she must be. Although the thought of her killing people makes me want to run away screaming like a mad person, she doesn't make me nervous like other people do. Which doesn't happen all the time, only with certain people. Letting out a deep breath I look up at the boys before facing India, "Ok..I trust you." She smiles at my reply before getting up and walking over to me, my eyes widen when she instantly dwarfs me. This girl has to be at least 5'11, is all of the Bourgeois family walking giants?!
When she's standing right in front of me my head tilts back so I would be able to meet her gaze. India's arms shoot out and snake around me nearly squeezing the life right out of me. "We will be very close Chloe." A strangled sound leaves my throat making India jump away from me like I burned her. I gasp once she releases me from her iron grip, taking in deep breaths to restore the very much needed oxygen into my lungs. India's ears turn a bright red before she smiles softly, "Sorry, I forget you small." Hearing this my hand shoots up to my heart, small?! Standing up to my full height, which is only 5'4, I lift my head up and stare at her with a little glare. Completely forgetting she kills people for a living. "I am not small!" I spit the word small out like it was poison making India's eyebrows shoot up in amusement and slight shock.
