Your body healed, but your mind was a different story. You weren't allowed to leave your room until you were better, which just made everything worse, you also felt like a disgrace to your family, and a poor excuse for an assassin. You only had a couple of months till the auction in Yorknew City. You were determined to meet with Chrollo, get your revenge, and do something with your life. Currently, you just wanted to cry and let every emotion you never got to express out.

The second you woke up, your head was nothing but a mess of sounds and pain. You just sat on your bed with a blank expression staring out your window. It had been a couple of days since you woke up, but they were eventful nonetheless. Your mind wandered back to Chrollo he had messaged you, the conversation started with information about the auction but soon turned into more personal stuff. He asked about your health and such, you lied, of course. You were surprised though what brought this on all of a sudden? When you took a bit to long to answer, he decided to call you. You shuffled around, contemplating whether or not to answer him. Eventually, you gave in, answering the phone with a huff.

"Why did you call me?" You held your phone up to your ear.

"I wouldn't have had to," his voice was husky," if someone wasn't such a terrible lier."

His voice sturred something inside you, but you shook it off," how did you know I was lying through text?"

He chuckled," I'm the king of thieves, but if it makes you feel any better, I didn't know till you told me just now."

"You tricked me," You rolled your eyes and laughed.

"So, tell me the truth."

"Why should I?" You hummed, it felt nice to have a moderately normal conversation with someone.

"Well, I am helping you currently and for free."

"Ugh fine, I feel like shit," you dragged your hand down the side of your face," everything is a mess, and it doesn't help that I have no clue as to how to clear my head."

You rambled on about anything and everything. Chrollo just sat there and listened to you. He found it amusing when you huffed and puffed, but he also paid attention to what you were saying. Finally, you came to a stop and took a few deep breaths.

"I think I know something that could help," he finally spoke," you're at your house, right?"

"Yes, why?" He chuckled at the confusion in your voice.

"Be ready in an hour, wear something nice, and I'll be outside."

"Chrollo, wait-" he hung up.

You gawked at your phone.

"What just happened?"

You hurried throughout your room, you had previously taken a shower and were now attempting to find clothes. You were going insane, and you didn't understand why. You barely knew Chrollo, yet the thought of meeting up with him made your heartbeat quicken. You had only seen him as just some disturbing stalker guy who happened to be good looking, but he did save your life, so maybe that was it. After about twenty minutes of pulling your hair out, you decided to take a drastic measure.

"Hey, mother," you took a deep breath," can you help me with something?"

Your mother had jumped for joy when you told her about your 'meeting'. You didn't tell her who it was with, and she didn't care. She went on and on about how you had a date, which you denied again and again. She tried to stuff you into multiple dresses, all ones she wore back when she was your age. According to her, you loved flowers as a child you were obsessed, so most of the things she had made for you were covered in plants. You weren't home often, so you had never noticed the cloths she put in your unused closet. Finally, you both decided on one, she gushed over you, before pushing you out the door saying she would distract your father. You wore a black knee-length dress with red roses scattered across it and a pair of heels.

You had to sneak out fast, and it was nearly impossible. Mike was especially challenging, but your scaly pet made sure to keep him distracted. You now made your way to the front gates. You opened the doors as quietly as you could. You also had to sneak past Zebro because if he saw you, he would either tell your father or keep it a secret and possibly get himself killed. You liked him, and he was good at his job, so it was best to avoid that. You let out a deep sigh as you rounded the corner. You placed your hands on your knees, trying to catch your breath. Standing up, you looked around for any sign of the man causing you so much trouble. Then you heard it, that stupid chuckle that you secretly loved.

"Where's the fire?"

"I hate you," you grumbled and looked to the ground.

"If that were true, you wouldn't be here waiting for me."

You looked him up and down, you didn't want to admit it, but he looked incredibly handsome. You hadn't expected him to look as good as he did, you couldn't keep your eyes off him.

"Are you just going to stand there or," he held out his arm for you, "are you going to come with me?"

You let out a short laugh as you grabbed his arm," I don't know what you're planning, but I've already broken ten different rules so I might as well."

"Do you have a curfew as well," he started to lead you both into the night," wouldn't want you breaking any more rules."

"Shut up."

With that, you both left unaware of the eventful night that awaited you. Would you remember something else about your past? Would you discover Chrollo's true intentions?

So the app wouldn't show me the views, votes, or comments, so I logged out. I logged back in and, I lost a lot of work. I almost cried, and I'm also incredibly annoyed. It's fine. I still have a bit of difficulty seeing when people comment, but everything else is fine. I hope you enjoyed this chapter (sorry if Chrollo is OOC, he is so hard to write.) Please vote and correct me if anything is wrong. I am very grateful to all of you who take the time to read this story. ( Also I got animal crossing a while back and, it's the only thing keeping me going.)
