Chapter 11

Ashley POV

I woke up with the feeling of a strong grip on my waist. It was Venom and he had buried his face in my messy hair. I tried to loosen it but it just got tighter so l gave in and laid there next to him. I just thought that if all this wasn't happening, l would be home getting ready for work or maybe l'd choose to stay home with my mom. Then a voice disturbed me from my thoughts

"Morning sleeping beauty. You hungry?"said Vee as he loosened his grip.

"Ahhh yah, now that you mention it"l answered

"Ok"he said as he got off the bed and l followed

"Where's this train headed?"l asked

"New Jersey"he answered

I just kept quiet

Then suddenly there came in a man well dressed in a black suit with a large tray full of breakfast.

"Eat"he said as he looked at me

"What about you?"l asked

"I'll eat later" he said

"Ok suit your self"l said as l set down to eat

the moment l took the first bite of toast, l realized how hungry l was. I ate until l couldn't eat anymore.

"Wow, you are one magnificent creature. Even l can't eat that much" Vee said

"Stop gloating" l said and he smiled.

After l ate the man in black came in and cleared the table. we set there on the table looking at each other

"Why are you always covering your eyes?"l asked

"It's complicated"he replied

"Ok, then why do you wear eye contact lenses?"l asked again

"How do you know that?"he asked

"I can see the plastic ring around it"l said

"Am well that's classified"he answered

"Ok. Then answer me this. After everything that your father has done, why did you still work for him?"l asked

"Well he's the closest thing l have to family, but when he chose his own destiny ( the whole illuminouse being catching to conquer the world)

I didn't wanna be part of it and you are vital to his mission, that's why he's looking for you" he answered.

"How am l vital to his mission?"l asked

"I'm sorry but that's also classified"he answered

"Guess there are things about me I don't know huh?" l said

"Oh you have no idea" he said

"What happened back there, l mean how did we end up in that car?" I asked

Vee sighed then spoke

"As soon as you fell asleep, someone sneaked in to the safe house. As l was getting ready to sleep, someone hit me on the head with a baseball bat and l passed out"

"Oh!" I said

We kept quiet for a while

I sighed deeply

"I'm bored"l said

"Well what do u wanna do?"he asked

"Well what's there to do?"l asked

"Nothing" he replied

"Let's talk about our childhood"l suggested

"My childhood was not that great" he said

"Well did you at least have a girl friend in the past?"I asked

"Yeah" he replied

"Well tell me about her"l said

"Her name was Lora Marstazy. She was so beautiful and loving. She cared for me and all that but that didn't last. She was my everything" he said

"Was?"l asked

"Well yeah. When my father found out l was dating, he got worried that he might loose his best recruit and so he killed her and threatened to kill every other girl l choose to date"he said

"Oh poor girl"l said

"Yeah, l wish l never met her. Then maybe she'd still be alive. All l do is cause people pain. First it was my mom, then Lora and now you"he said

"Don't blame yourself, your father is the cause to the pain not you" l said

"Yah but….." he said but l interrupted.

"Buts are for sitting. It's not your fault that you are a boy, it's not your fault that you're good at your job and it's not your fault that you got a good heart"l said

"What do you mean?"he asked

"What. Look at me. I get bathed everyday,sleep in a comfy bed and eat well. The possibility of this treatment when kidnapped is next to zero"l said and a smile formed on his face which warmed my heart

"Thanks Ashley, that really helps a lot" he said as he stood up and l followed

"No problem" l said as l went to hug him and we shared the warmest hug ever
