The Assassin

Chapter 2

Rosalyn's p.o.v
I looked at him as I backed away putting myself deeper in between the crates. "Hey. Come out from there. " The man said as he tried to get me from out from between the crates but I just kept getting deeper and deeper trying to hide myself the best I can. "Hey. " The man said as he came closer to me and accidently put his hand on my thigh that had the arrow in it and I hissed in pain as I pulled my leg closer to me. The man looked at me with a worried expression on his face as he put his hands on top of mine which were putting pressure on my thigh. I looked at him then shook my head at him. The man looked at me. "Please. Let me help you." I just shook my head again and I felt tears come from the corners of my eyes. "Hey, hey. Why are you crying? Don't cry. " the man said as he put his hands on both sides of my head and wiped my tears away. I then closed my eyes but then I felt him moving my bangs out of my face so I got scared and squeezed my eyes shut tightly. I heard him suck in his breath then I felt him trace my scar lightly with his thumb. "Who did this to you?" he asked with a gentle voice but I could tell that he was trying to cover up his anger. I didn't say anything. All I did was cry harder. The man pulled me into a hug. I felt myself go stiff, and I could tell that he did too. He hugged me closer and I soon relaxed and let him hug me. I felt him smile as he pulled me to him where I was sitting on his lap as he whispered soothing words to me as I cried in his chest. After crying, I looked up at the man. He looked down to me. "How about we get you cleaned up, hmm? " he said to me as he wiped the last of my tears away. I just nodded lightly as he pulled me up onto my feet. I stumbled a bit, but the man grabbed ahold of me before I could fall. He put his arm around my waist as I leaned into him for balance. "Ready? " he asked me as he looked down to me. I just simply nodded and followed him as he guided me to-who-knows-where, but I had a little trust in him so I just followed. We made it to the opening of the ship and I saw people looking at us. I just glared at them and held back the urge to pull out one of my guns or knives. "Uh. Hey Max. Whatcha got there?" A tall bulky man with brown shirt hair that stick out in all directions. When I herd his voice, it seemed to sooth me. I felt safe. I didn't know what to make of the emotion I was feeling at the so I just stared at him, memorizing the mans looks. "Oh. She came up on our ship and we found her this morning. " 'Max' the man who helped me said. "Yeah but she almost killed us when we tried helping her. She didn't let anyone near her but Max. " the other man with raven hair which if I remember correctly was 'Gray' mumbled unknowingly that I could hear him. I shot a death glare at him and he yelped and stepped back. I then heard a chuckle from the man in front of me. I looked at him again with a confused expression on my face. "The names Laxus. Nice ta meetcha. " 'Laxus' said as he started to put his hand out for me to shake but other people who delt with me yelled protests such as 'DON'T DO IT!', 'ARE YOU CRAZY MAN!', 'SHE'S GONNA HURT YOU!', and other things but the man didn't stop. He just put his hand out in front of me. I didn't do anything at first except look at his hand. Then I pulled my hand out and shook his hand. Everyone looked shocked but me and Laxus. Laxus had a confused look on his face but before he even got to ask anything someone said "Wha? She didn't let anyone even come near her but she let HIM touch her?!" I just looked at that person with a blank face which made that person flinch and step away. When I looked back at Laxus he was looking down at me. "Is that true?" he asked me as I let go of his hand and nodded while looking up at him. Laxus then had a shocked face but it soon changed to a smug look. "Well then. I guess that makes me special huh?" He asked as he put his big hand on my head. I just looked up at him and tilted my head a bit then a small smile formed on my face but it was so small that only Laxus could see it. Laxus looked surprised but then he smiled back at me. "I think we'll get along. " He said as he ruffled my hair messing it up a bit. I just felt my eyebrow twitch in irritation as I slapped his hand away and fixed my hair. Laxus just laughed as he held his hand rubbing it a bit. "Wow. She has a heavy hand. " He said as everyone just looked at me in surprise. I soon got irritated and shot everyone a glare which made them all gulp and take a few steps back. I heard Max clear his throat so I looked at him with a blank stair. "Well then. Imma take her to the sleeping quarters. " Max said as he began to guide me to the the sleeping quarters but I stopped in my tracts making him stop as well. He turned to me with a questioning look but I just turned around and reached my hand out to Laxus surprising him and everyone else. Laxus soon recovered and walked up to me grabbing my hand. I looked at Max and nodded telling him im ready to go.
