An Assassins World

Chapter 21

•.•.•ANGEL'S POV•.•.•

"Angel?" Someone whispers gently.
"Angel?" They're repeat.

My eyes start flickering open only to see the blurred outline of the person calling my name.

"Your awake." They whisper.

Where am I? Who is that?

"Angel? How are you feeling?" They sound concerned but I'm still not sure who they are.

I tried replying but I can't seem to speak, I can't. My vision isn't clearing up, everything is still a one big blur for me.

I'm not sure if I should trust this person or not, last thing I remember was being attacked. For all I know, they could be dangerous and probably are.

I see a large blur that looks a bit like a hand coming towards my face and instinctively I try to smack it away but I'm so weak I end up falling from the bed, face planting onto the floor.

I here a laugh coming from above me and someone helping me up from the floor.

Who are they and what do they want?

"Here, drink this." the person says and reaches for a glass on the bedside table with a clear liquid in it then they place it to my mouth.

I still don't know whether to trust them, that could be poison so I refuse to drink it.

"Relax, it's just water." they say.

Well... I am thirsty. So I drink it up faster than I thought I would in my current condition.

I see a faint hint of a smile on the persons face. my vision starts to clear up a bit but not enough to recognise the stranger.
"More water?" They ask.

I nod weakly because I can't seem to speak. My throat this tight and even when I try, I can't talk.

"Wow, the great Angel Barnsley, Assassin of the year is speechless? That's a first." the stranger comments just before leaving the room to get more water I assume.

I recognise that sentence and I recognise the voice that said it. I know them.

"Really? The famous Angel Barnsley, assasin of the year, can slit a guys throat from ten yards away but can't make mac and cheese."

Yes! That's where I remember that from! Rey.

If Rey is here... then where are we? Back at the house? Back at base? I have no idea.

I can't recognise the place if I can hardly see it. This sucks.

It feels like a while before he comes back into the room.

"I got you a litre of water, that should keep you hydrated for long enough." He says with what I think is a large bottle in his hands.
He pours some into the glass on the bedside table.

"So are you feeling any better?" He asks after I drink about two and a half more glasses of water.

I nod.

"Good." he says. "Anything else? Are you hungry?" He asks.

I shake my head.

"Okay... well... do you want me to go?"

Do I want him to go? No, I want him to tell me what happened.

I shake my head and try to speak again. Still nothing.

"Still can't speak huh?" He mutters. he sighs then starts patting his butt.

A few second he pulls out a phone from his back pocket.

"Can you type? Use this." He suggests and motions for me to take the phone. the water seems to be helping, my vision is starting to get better.

I take the phone slowly, I'm still quite weak, I can just about move my thumbs enough to type.

What happened? I type.

"Long story." he replies simply once he has read what I typed.

I got time. I type.

He takes another long sigh.
"Okay well..." He then proceeded onto telling me about how I got kidnapped, taken to a remote place in the middle of a forest and how he fought some buff guys to save me. No one has ever gone through so much trouble for me.

Thank you.

"No problem, you owe me though." He says with a smile.

Sure... how did you know where I was? Or how to get in?

All of a sudden his smile disappears.
"I've been there before."

When?

"A long time ago." he says, frowning.
He keeps giving me these vague answers but why?

"Grey and Brian said they'ed come and visit soon." he has a weak attempt of distracting me before I ask anymore questions.

I do miss them though... I'll talk to them later, when they visit but for now I got to get some proper answers from Rey.

Why aren't you as good at fighting as you were before?

I ask, I feel like it's connected to the reason why he knew the place I was kidnapped at for some odd reason.

"Well...I...." he pauses. "You need to get some rest." He says and gets up from the seat he was on. "Sleep." Is the last thing he says before leaving the room.

He's clearly avoiding the question ,but why? I ask that too much. I guess there's a lot I don't know.

I decide to take his advice and sleep, I am still feeling drained of all energy. Even the typing was exhausting.

----------

"She'll be fine, trust me."

"I hope so."

I hear a door shut.

"Angel? Are you awake?" I hear a gentle voice.

I nod slowly and open my eyes, It's a bit blurry at first but it clears up and I can see a lot better that I could before.

"How's my little Angel feeling?" They get closer to me and I instantly know it's Grey.

"Okay." I whisper. I can talk! Well not really talk but... it's something right?

"Good, you'll get better." he say with hope in his voice. "I've missed you."

"Missed you too Grey." And he leans in for a hug.

"I'm glad Rey took care of you, I don't know what would have happened if he didn't go on that mission with you." Grey mutters before pulling away from the hug.

I nod in agreement. I guess it was a good thing Rey was on the mission with me, to be honest I probably couldn't have handled it without him.

A look of sympathy flashed on Greys face quickly. Sympathy? What for?

"Grey? What was that....look?" I asked sill in a whispery voice.

"Nothing, don't worry. I have to go to a meeting right now but I'll come back right after." he replies with a loving smile.

He kissed my forehead and walks towards the door.

"Bye Grey and please bring me food... preferably chocolate." I say.

"Of course Angel. I'll see you in a little
While." Then he leaves the room.

I'm in here alone again. Barely able to move... bored.
