ASHLEY
My eyes flicked open to see Jake looming over me with a frantic look on his face. Someone was screaming near and I looked around but didn't find anyone.
" Elena, calm down. It's okay now, it was just a nightmare." He sat on the bed next to me and held me, making sure he didn't come in contact with my injured side. The screams finally stopped and my breath was coming out in short and harsh. I realized then that it was me who was screaming from the throbbing in my throat.
I had taken something close to a bath earlier as most of my weight had to be placed on my right foot and I had to be careful not to get my left injured side wet. It was an awkward moment that left me frustrated as I had to spend twice the time I normally spent in the shower and I could only get myself half clean.
I had half limped, half dragged myself back to the room before I finally set

Ashley She turned off the shower as it had gone cold for a while and took the wet towel from the sink. She gently rubbed down the left side of her body that wasn't in the shower. She finished up and limped back to my room not minding the chill going through her, She needed anything to take her mind off certain things that had kept her awake all night for a while. The shower had helped but she could feel the headache that had dragged her out of bed setting in again. She looked for the luggage bag she brought in yesterday as she hadn't unpacked but couldn't find it so she decided to look inside the closet. Ashley opened the closet and was shocked at what she found inside. It was filled to the brim with clothes that she didn't recognize as hers and she couldn't find the bag anywhere. She took in a sharp breath and checked the clothes in

JAKE I knew she was going to block me out again but I had to try and use the opportunity. I knew I failed when she abruptly stood up and walked towards the doorway as if she hadn't heard me. she stopped at the exit and turned to me without making eye contact. " I'll pay you back as soon as I can." She said in a slightly shaky voice and left. I might have been ignored but there was something I found out, she really had a nightmare, and judging by the look of panic on her face when I asked her to tell, it was haunting her. I was going to find whatever it was out and make it go away. I felt my chest tighten as I gulped down the remaining water in the bottle. I was going to do everything to protect what was mine. I left the kitchen and went to the living room hoping Mike would be there but he was

AshleyShe had been avoiding Jake for a week and succeeded but not without sacrifices.She hadn't been able to ask him to take her back to her apartment so she could get some things she needed and sometimes she even went without food because she was scared he would show up while she was eating.During those times she always found food in her room whenever she wasn't there and she suspected Jake had left it there, so she had taken the opportunity to be scarce from her room when she was hungry.She had always stayed cooped up in her room whenever he was around and wandered the house when he left, using the opportunity to search his room and study for clues of his plan. She had asked the master the reason they needed evidence that Jake was after them when it was so clear but he refused to tell her anything so she continued her search.&n

AshleyHer brain froze for a moment and she stilled, trying to process what had just happened.Jake was kissing her! Her heart was beating so fast she believed he could hear it too. She closed her eyes taking in the new sensation, as she had never had any experience of a real kiss.During some of her missions, she had to act like a slut to get to her target but she had made sure never to sleep with any of them. When she kissed any of her targets, she never thought of it as anything but work.Jake wasn't moving much but she could feel everything in her system. It was exhilarating. She had started moving her lips against his before she knew what she was doing and she couldn't bring herself to stop.The kiss deepened as his tongue invaded her mouth, clashing with hers and she let out a moan which thankfully jolted her awake.

AshleyPeople's lives to me are a matter of a simple order. I just had to be given a command and I would just turn off the switch that makes the person breathe. You can't blame me, that was how I was molded to be since the day I was kidnapped when I was just seven.Other kids dreamed of going to Disney world when they were seven, all I dreamt about is how I would survive the next day as a killer in training.They told me along with other kids that if we wanted to see our parents again we had to survive each day. Some struggled, some gave up and we never saw them again but as time went on, we discovered that they were switched off too - I like to say that instead of saying the word 'killed' - and then we finally realized we were never getting out of there without being the person they wanted us to be and that was exactly what I became, a killer.I had my first kill at the age of twelve, then I realized there was no hope for my soul. I turned off all my emo

He always went straight to the point, one of the things I respected him for. A quality that didn't stop him from being cunning and intimidating. "What are you going to do to me?Kill me?" I asked making sure my face wasn't betraying any emotion. To him, emotions are signs of weakness and it riles him to see any of his"tools" show signs of weakness. "Now what do you mean by that?I'm sure you know you're one of the most valuable assets we have here and your little distress can't change that. I'm sure with time, you'll be better."He spread his hands keeping a small smile on his face like we were discussing the weather and not my mental breakdown. I wasn't surprised since he treated everyone like the asset he talks about. "Just tell me your decision and stop beating about the bush." I slammed my hands on the desk just to annoy him, he hated when anyo

I had learned everything I needed to know about Owens and the person who ran it and was sure I wouldn't be in dark about anything.Today was my interview as Jake Owens's personal bodyguard, more like a babysitter. I hoped what I had provided in my CV was more than enough. I still couldn't believe I was going to be working on this mission.I had known that the master was cruel but this was out of it, I didn't even know the man existed until a week ago. I still remembered how shocked I was when I found out what my mission would be. "You can't be serious about this mission master. You know this is a hard limit for me!"I had slammed my hand on his desk in an outburst which he seemed to find amusing.He knew this was going to get a

JakeI ran a hand over my face to check if something was stuck there but came up with nothing.Then I realized that she just came through the path that leads to only Celina's office. Well then maybe I'd get some answers from her. I was on my way to her office before that woman ran into me." Mike says he needed the file concerning the accident and I thought I would just tell you myself instead of using the intercom."I said as I went into Celina's office and took a sit. She didn't bother to look up from whatever she was doing. I guess someone was used to me barging into their office." I will get to that Jake. You didn't need to trouble yourself by coming here." She said barely sparing me a glance making me sigh."I'm sorry about not being more careful but you know I have to give this my all Celine," I said running my hands through my hair making them messy.She finally looked up and just stared at me before sh
