Go, she mouthed, tears rolling down her face as her father dragged her away. Someone was grabbing me, a hand over my mouth to prevent me from screaming out for her and ruining our cover. Freedom was a few meters apart, but what was the point if I didn't have her with me?
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I've been in love with her my whole life. Maybe it wouldn't have worked for others, but we were the real friends-to-best friends-to-lovers deal. Never mind that the only life I'd known was in the Fort, under the strict, harsh guidance of her father, and that she had never stepped foot out of the twelve story fortress. I was an assassin under the guidance of her father, ready to complete the job for any man who was willing to pay enough, and she was the shielded beauty who longed to get away from her familial restraints. We worked, somehow. Until we didn't.

Six of us planned to leave the Fort, but only five made it out. She was left behind because I was betrayed by my closest friends and now I'm going back for her, knowing that it's already too late.
