The Assasin (Rewritten Version)

CHAPTER 12: So How Do We Do This?

But I feel someone grab my arm out of nowhere, and pull me in. That someone put their hand over my mouth. I was about to bite their hand, but I soon recognized who pulled me in a certain room.

It was Dolores. I pushed her hand away from my mouth.

"Dolores what in the hell?!" I whisper yell, "Be quiet." Dolores hushes me.

I then realize that I'm in Dolores's room.

(Headcannon)
It looked like a mini forest, there was a small stream, a little meadow, and tall trees, but there was a very big one in the middle and there was a very wide platform almost on top of it.

"How does this relate to your gift?" I chuckled nervously, I have never been in here before, it may be strange but I'm not that close to Dolores.

"Since I have enhanced hearing, I guess it's like this because it's calming and there's not much noise, and there is no unnecessary sounds at all, I can hear the wind blowing, the water flowing, so it helps me learn how to detect the tiniest sounds all around, like that spider on your leg."

"Gah!" I wiggle my leg around. I swear I felt my spine shiver.

Dolores led me to the middle of the forest, where the biggest tree lied in, the stairs were made out of planks and it went around the tree going up.

And in no time we made it to the top, it was admittingly beautiful, the leaves of the tree were covering the space, it sort of looked like a dome, it was almost like an apartment. It had a living room and a small kitchen. But what caught my attention, is a stage like place where multiple instruments were placed.

"Wow." I say.

"I know, it's incredible." Dolores ushered me to sit on the light brown couch. "Is that a piano? Do you play?" I ask.

"Well duh, it wouldn't be there if I don't, can you?" Dolores challenged. "Of course I can." I smirk, her eyes widened but then she had a playfull look on her face. "Oh? Prove it and I'll be the judge of that." She chuckled.

I stuck my tongue at her and walked towards the piano. I sat down and pushed some keys to see if it works well.

"Cmon. You can do it." Dolores encouraged. I smile at her and thought of what I should play first.

(A million dreams- The Greatest Showman)

I start to play the intro.

I close my eyes and I can see
The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home

I take a deep breath.

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design

I close my eyes as I relax myself.

'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

There's a house I can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Runaway to a world that we design

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make.

However big, however small
I'll let you be part of it all
And share your dreams with me
I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'll always bring you along
To the world I see

To the world we close our eyes to see
We close our eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
A million dreams, a million dreams

I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

For the world we're gonna make..

I realized that I was way too deep into the song and turned my head to see Dolores's reaction.

She was on the verge of crying. "That was unbelievable, it may be the sound I've ever heard, and trust me when I say that." She says cheerily.

"Oh, it's nothing." I rub the back of my neck. "Thanks for the compliments though." I smile at her. "No problem, but how are you so good at this? I never heard you practice."

"Oh, remember that soundproof music class?" I ask, it was true, there is such a thing here, the music teacher didn't want anyone to here them as they play until final performance you know, for surprise and pazaz.

Let's pretend they know how to soundproof rooms :')

"Ohhh, anyway."

I removed myself from the piano and walked to her.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" I sat down next to her. "Come, let's have a walk." She says and stands up. I follow behind her. We walk in silence around her gorgeous room.

"So I talked to tio Bruno, and he gave me this."  She grabbed something from her pouch, which I didn't notice it was there in the first place, a green.... disc.

"Tio made a vision, you have to hug Isabella to fix everything."

I look at her, then at the disc, it was indeed Isabella who I was hugging. "Dammit why..." I whine.

"Don't worry you still have some time, but I suggest you hug her, like right now."
