Tainted

*chapter 5*

Never in my life have I badly wanted to bite someone's head off.

Never. 

But being forced out of my outfit and into this tight, short thing they dare call a dress... I'm reconsidering a lot of things right now.

"There!" The girl squeals as she finished putting lipstick on me. I feel my lip twitch. They're really testing the waters here.

She gives me a look from head to toe before smiling to herself, probably to marvel her own work. She then winks at me and slaps my ass as she walks away, leaving me there with my mouth slightly open as I watch her leave.

I stared at her retreating figure.

Really testing the waters here.

The door suddenly slams open as Nathalia walks in, stepping in front of me and stopping me from burning holes at that girl's back.

"We don't have time for that" She sighs, sounding stressed out making me look at her.

"I'm well aware" I bite back, casting another glance at the girl before sighing as well.

I know that we're shit deep in trouble right now, I know that more than anyone else and I don't really mean to bitch out right now.

But then again, I just got sold to some random dude that might as well be a threat to humankind to begin with considering how bad he's wanted dead  by a few handful of people, I feel like I have the right to be pissed off at the very least.

"Give me your phone" Nathalia says, snapping me out of my own thoughts. I turn to look at her, frowning.

"Why?" She sighs, clearly irritated; a warning for me to stop asking questions. I feel my eye twitch with annoyance because nothing's making any fucking sense as I gave her my phone.

I swear to God if I don't get any specific answers in the next minute or so, I will burn this place down.

Nathalia snatches my phone and places a new one on my hand.

"You're using that from now on" She turns on my phone, scrolls through it for a couple of seconds before dropping it to the ground and stepping on it.

"WHAT-" 

"You can't call me" She cuts me off with a firm glare, shutting me up. I watch, baffled, as she digs the heels of her shoes on my phone until the screen cracks and the device shuts down.

I can't believe this is happening right now to me.

"Listen"

"From now on you work for him, you belong to him up until we can find a way out of the contract" I glared at her.

"I told you that you can't fucking trust the military-"

"We don't have a choice!" She hisses, eyes wild.

"You don't have a fucking choice so shut the fuck up already about it" I feel my eyes twitch as I run a hand through my hair to calm myself down because from where things are heading right now, I might as well just pour out my anger to her.

"The sooner you do what they want you to do, the sooner you get out of this mess" Suddenly, the weight of the knife tucked in my underwear that I managed sneak past the girl earlier feels heavy.

"I want you to kill him" 

I sucked in a deep breath.

"Kill him"

"And your name will be cleared"

"You shouldn't be casually saying that like it's nothing" I told her, jaw clenched. Sure, I'm an assassin. I've killed hundreds throughout my lifetime and my soul may as well be painted black. But I don't kill without a valid enough reason, and I know that sounds sick and twisted but I won't do it.
