I don't want it and I don't want to want you but in my dreams I seem to be more honest and I must admit that you've been in quite a few

Reality .

That was one of the many things in my life that I no longer wanted to face . This is because I found it suffocating and draining.

As I stood in the middle of the room dressed in what I assumed was my training suit, I couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

This suit reminded me of what was coming ahead. Of what is holding me to this place .

It reminded me of the terrible things that were yet to come and the terrible things that I'm going to be forced to do.

A sigh escaped my lips as I tied my hair into a messy bun.

Didn't want any hair covering my eyes as I pounded  someone to the ground.

I love violence,so sue me

To be honest, I'd rather be in my bed but I didn't have a choice.

A choice

I keep on saying that over and over again.

I don't know why but I felt tired . Tired because I knew that the mission I was about to undertake was nothing other than commiting suicide.

Why?

Because it was bound to fail. I tried telling the guy in charge but he seems not to care.

He seemed to have failed to understand that not everyone is ready to die.

Most especially me.

As I gathered my thoughts together,I heard the door knob twist.

My hands drifted to the knife under my bed ready to throw it at the intruder for you know, safety precautions.

I re thought my decision when I saw the masked guy entering .

He had a smug look on his face when he saw my expression.

I don't know why but there was something about this man that I couldn't quite understand.

I couldn't read him or predict what he could do

When I recall all the few times that we had shared the same space, I couldn't help but feel scared.

Because he made me feel something.

Something that even I couldn't place a name to it.

"I see that you're up"

"Why are you here?"

"Well to take you to the training grounds"

"I thought that you didn't want people to know about us"

He laughed

"What's so funny?"

"You"

He said as he walked towards me .

I could smell his after shave from a distance.

"You make it sound as if we're in a relationship,which of course would never happen,just to be clear "

He scoffed as he tucked a loose stand of my hair behind my ear

"You know about the mission that is soon to be undertake?"

"What mission?"

"Stop pretending, we are both adults and we both know that we aren't ordinary people in this place"I stated as I created a distance.
