Chapter 17
Since Mike's injury there have been more and more attacks during patrols, Not just patrols even, when Feng members are just wondering the town there is trouble. Ren ordered no one to travel allow and patrols to go out in double the amount of men. The drug Candy is becoming more known as the Devils Puppet Pills. I fear every attack that is reported that I will learn it will be David at the head crazed. I imagine the look in his eyes as I stare down the barrel of my gun. The sound of shots being fired echoes and resonate off the concrete wall as I unload clip after clip at my paper targets accurately and as fast as I can. Going from one stall to another. Sweat dripping down my back as I focus on my objective and that is to kill David.
"Anna!" A hand reaches out grabbing the top of my gun as the last of my clip empties. Shocked because I thought I was alone, I subconsciously swing my fist toward the person who grabbed at my gun but, pull it back as I realize it was Maliki.
"Maliki!" I say gasping as I pull back blinking in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"You have been here for hours, the guys were getting worried." He says calmly pointing his thumb back over his shoulder toward the front desk. I lean around him to see Jeremy, and Daniel looking over at us. "You have been acting a little weird since Mike was hurt; even Ren is worried about you. Even if he can't admit it." Maliki calm and collected gets straight to the point as always.
"I'm not freaking out because Mike was hurt, I know he's a big boy and can handle himself." I say walking past him brushing off his comment.
"No, your fear is greater, you're afraid that when you face that ex of yours again you will freeze again, and more people will be hurt. You're as good as Ren, me and Mike put together but when it comes to him this last time you hesitated. Problem is I don't know why. When you protected Lady Brittany you didn't hesitate, when you thought Ren was in danger you also faced your fear against him. So, what is it that has changed?" Though he is talking a feel like he's attacking me as he follows me out of the building as I try to escape his Rambling.
"I Don't Know!" I suddenly shout turning to face him. I take deep breaths as I look at him "I don't know." I say more calmly. Part of me feels like crying. In that moment when he looked at me, I felt it, I felt my death, and then everything seemed so real and I became too afraid to move. Maybe it's because before his target was always another but this time he wanted me dead. The man that once said he loved me wanted me dead!" I started speaking and found myself unable to stop. "To top it off the only people I have in this world is Ren, you, and Mike. Now because of me I let one of the most important people in my life become hurt." I could feel the tears welling up now. God please someone stop me from speaking. "And not to mention that, but Ren is being hounded by the elders to choose a different bride constantly, who knows when I will be removed from you all, never to see you all again. I have no idea who my parents are or who I am for that matter, and the uncertainty scares me!" My face is wet with more and more tears as I speak. A warm embrace wraps around my head pulling me in as a hand pats my hair. Maliki says nothing just hugs me, comforting me and it says all I need to know without him saying a word. Our moment of silence is broken from the sound of a man's voice clearing from behind me. For a second, I fear it was Ren and he saw me acting so childish, but when I turn I see a face I hadn't seen for a while. That blonde hair, with silver strands, those green eye that are similar to my own, his straight tall stature wearing yet again another white suit but this time a green dress shirt.
"What are you doing here Mr. Silverman? Speak carefully, for I might have to kill you here and now for Lord Feng." Maliki growls toward the man his hand tightening on my shoulder. I look up at Maliki's face full of killing intent. This is the last thing I wanted right now I was wishing Ren was here but then again, he probably wouldn't have even given a warning. I look back and forth at Silverman and Maliki. Pushing on his chest to release me. He lets go but barley moves from my side.
"Mr. Silverman did you have business with me?" I say breaking the silent tension unable to stand it anymore. I see his expression soften as his attention turns to me. Nostalgia consumes me again as if I was looked upon like this before.
He takes a step closer toward me but stops once more, when I feel Maliki tense more behind me. "As a matter of fact, Miss. Darkz, I do. I wondered if Ren had mentioned what me and him had discussed but I had heard nothing from him."
"Why ask her, and not him directly Mr. Silverman? Lord Feng doesn't take kindly to sneaking behind his back." Maliki growls lowly.
Silverman just smiles, "Because this topic is about Miss Darkz, so I believe she should at least be informed. Guess he didn't feel the same way."
"Watch it Silverman!" I say before I even think about it. "If Ren doesn't want me to know then there is a reason for it. I will trust in him."
A smirk seeps across his tired but hard face. "You are defiantly a woman worthy to stand next to Lord Feng." Hearing that I almost crack a smile because other than a select few no one has really been accepting of it lately. "But you won't be his wife." My wanting to smile fades as fast as it almost comes.
"What do you mean?" I bark annoyed folding my arms across my chest tapping my foot impatient but, he now had my attention.
"The leaders will never allow it and without their approval there will never be a wedding." To his words shock fills me I look back at Maliki whose face looks almost pained. "However; If you officially become a daughter of the silver snake clan, become my daughter then we can join the clans and you would have the statues needed to marry Lord Feng and no one can object."
"SHUT IT!" Maliki suddenly shouts breaking the seriousness of the conversation. "How dare you come here to cause issues you just signed your death warrant Silverman." Maliki goes to reach for his gun.
"Wait!" I Jump between them turning spreading my arms out as I stare Maliki down. I watch him remove his hands from his gun.
"Anna."
"Is It true!" I bellow out desperately at Maliki. I watch his face become hard the sound he made as he clicks his tongue in annoyance, which is the only answer I get. "Maliki please tell me."
His head bows down I hear a sigh as his eyes fixate on me "Yes, this would defiantly solve the issue."
"But then why am I just hearing this, Ren knew?" I say fumbling with my words in confusion.
"Oh, he knew that same day we met I proposed this deal." Silverman suddenly speaks up behind me making me turn in disbelief.
"Then why…." I trail off in my own thoughts. Maliki's hand falls on my head.
His voice a whisper "Because he doesn't trust this man", he nods to Silverman in front of my eyes. "Remember big brother loves you little sis and I telling you trust us on this. Don't trust so easily to something that sounds too good to be true. There is hidden motive." His words are serious and pulls me back from almost falling apart from this news. Before I can think of anything else Maliki has ushered me to the car. I look back to See Silverman just watch but the look in his eyes say to me that he wasn't trying to hurt me but that he was hurting but I had no idea why as I watch him fade in the distance of the side mirror.
