The Assassin's Blood

 I can’t believe that this is happening to us. What was Connor thinking? Perroni could have killed us. Everything seems so surreal at that moment. Especially the part where Declan came in and saved us. It was like something out of a movie. Declan’s face is expressionless as he steers the vehicle through the darkened streets. Observing him from beneath the fringe of my lashes, I think through what has just occurred. I still don’t understand how our life has gotten so out of control. And now that Declan is involved, I feel worse. Connor was right, Declan is a killing machine. I had never seen someone fight like that before.
