Son?!?

POV

Soren:

Nym led me down the stairs and into a large smoke grey colored room. The lights were not too bright, nor too dim. Two obsidian statues were placed on both sides of the door. They were both young women with delicate features. One looked as though she was about to strike down an enemy with a long sword. Her hair was wind blown with a few braids and feathers. The other had her sword implanted into the ground. She looked tired, but ferocious at the same time. They seemed to be guarding the door.

We continued our walk down the length of a room before turning into a hallway. We entered another large room that had around seventeen people in it. All of the sudden I heard yelling.

"Hey Bitch you're back!" A young man ran up to us. "You were gone for so long honey!" He said like a beaten house wife. Everyone's eyes were on us from that point on.

I stepped in front of Nym and puffed up my chest. I did my best to seem menacing, but my body was shaking. I didn't really know what he said except for the bitch part. He stopped shy of two feet away from us. He looked at me with curiosity and I bared my teeth at him. I felt something land on my shoulder, only to find that it was Nym's other hand as she hadn't dropped my hand yet. I shrunk back into her chest. She tightened her grasp on me, as if to protect me.

"Well who's this little muffin?" He asked curiously.

"He is my son Koi." Nym responded seriously.

"Wwhattttt? You never told me you had a kid. I feel so hurt!" His eyes showed the betrayal.

"She's not his bio mom. You fucking idiot." Cami said while walking over to us.

"I am his legal guardian." Nym told him annoyed.

POV

Nym:

Ahhh great it's these two idiots I sighed in my mind.

*In Italian*

"The scrawny guy is Koi and this chocolate beauty is Cami. They are..... friends." I paused and added kinda in my mind. Koi and Cami realised I was only speaking Italian to the boy.

" Nym you should have told me he only understands Italian." Koi whined

"Stop your blabbering." I said tiredly.

Koi reached his hand out to Soren. He started shaking harder in my arms. I think that he invoked my protective instincts. This had not happened in years.

I snarled at Koi.

"Don't fucking touch him." My voice sounded demonic and cold to all that heard it. He quickly retreated his hand and fear filled everyone's eyes.

"Get back to work. Now!" I shouted the last part. They all returned to their stations and resumed their work.

Cami looked me in the eyes.

"Calm the fuck down. You're scaring the poor kid. She hesitated "You're eyes..... they're almost black." She then began to walked away. I shook my head in gratitude to her. She looked back at me with sorrow in her eyes and headed back to her office.

I stood there for a second and small pants escaped my mouth. My body became very cold to the touch. Soren shivered. He looked up and brought his small hand up to my face. He turned so that we were face to face and left his hand there in a comforting gesture. I looked down into his eyes and felt my heart slow down immediately. I closed my eyes for just a moment. I smiled at him to let him know that I was okay. He nodded back at me and we continued on our way.

We went all the way to the parking garage. Occasionally we would stop because I noticed Soren was looking at something. This time there was no more interruptions from others. We got into the car and I buckled him into the backseat. I turned on the radio to a catchy indie song.

I looked back in the mirror. His eyes brightened up immensely at the music. "Do you like this song?"

I asked him. He nodded really fast, so I turned the volume dial up to 15. Occasionally, I would look back to find his body swaying to the music.

I couldn't help but chuckle at him.

After forty-five minutes we arrived back to my house. I opened the car and Soren looked around with amazement. "Let's go inside of our house." He looked happy when I said 'our.' We entered the house hand in hand.

POV

Cami:

I don't think Nym knows how terrifying she is. While she is usually distant and quiet she is also the most brutal out of all of the workers. After all, she is third in command, but even Director Emimile asks her permission sometimes. It's scary how much power she holds over the assassination underworld.

However, the scariest thing is to see her truly mad. Even though I wasn't the one receiving those demonic eyes I could still feel my body freeze over. To be honest it hurt my heart because we are friends even though I have wanted to be more. I knew that her lover had died in the accident so I hoped she might see me as more after time passes. She never did.
