Damian's rose

Chapter 2: 2) Rose.

AUTHORS POV

It was a dark night, everything was silent, everyone was in deep slumber when she unlocked the

window and jumped inside without making any noise not before taking care of the cctv cameras,

standing near the bed she looked at the man sleeping peacefully in his luxurious bed, his bare chest

was rising up and down .

She took in her surroundings no one was present there except for her and her prey.

She took out a dagger from her waistband and sliced his throat without any hesitation or emotions in

her eyes. Her grey eyes were totally cold like warmness never existed in them. That man didn't even

got a chance to do anything as she killed him in his sleep, she wiped her dagger with his white

bedsheet which was now covered in his blood. She kept the dagger back in its place and looked

outside the window where two guards were patrolling the house afterall the man she killed was a

famous politician, she was one of the best fighter and Assassin of Renzo and killing politician was a

risky job so he gave this responsibility to her, he knew that she will do it perfectly.

She jumped out of the window, his bedroom was on the first floor so it was not a big deal for her to

jump from there. She landed on the ground just like feather falling from the tree. She saw guards in the

garden area so she hide in the dark. Her black clothes and mask were helping her to get mixed in

darkness of the chilly night. She carefully walked towards the big wall which separates the house from

the road, climbing on the tree she again jumped from there landing safety and silently on the empty

road. No one saw her not even their dogs who were guarding the house. No one realised that the

person they are protecting already got killed by this heartless Assassin. She came and killed him like

shadow coming from the dark and again disappeared in the dark.

Successfully escaping from there she came back to her dom, she hopped under the shower, washing

her black shoulder length hair she cleaned all the dirt from her body. She looked at her naked reflection

in the mirror, her wet locks were clinging on her neck and shoulders, her cold grey orbs and fit body like

God carved each and every curve of her body carefully, her milky white skin has some scars that she

got while tranning but she never paid attention to them neither she cared about her beauty, all she did

was practiced day and night to make herself the best fighter of this agency.

Renzo the chief of her agency, a man in his fifties, strict and expert in martial arts, he runs this tranning

school, basically he adopts orphan children and trains them to become Assassin's. Since childhood he

taught them to be emotionless and cold hearted, he raised them with strict rules and discipline to make

them perfect for their masters or whoever buys them as bodyguards or for Assassination and he did the

same with 'Rose' his favourite student.

He adopted rose when she was 5 years old and gave her the intense training to become an Assassin.

And she did great, he perfectly moulded her into strong perfect fighter in martial arts, disciplined and

cold hearted.

He classified his fighters into Classes.

Class c contains a fighters who are getting trained to become Assassin's. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Class B contains fighters who are good with their fighting skills and mostly got hired for Assassination

or bodyguards positions, Ashton belonged to this class.

And class A was group which contains fighters who has gone through intense martial arts trainings and

perfect in every skills like sword fighting, archery, shooting and martial arts. Class A fighters are

unbreakable and only few from his agency succeeded to became class A.

He only has 5 Class A fighters and Rose was one of them, she was the only girl who made it there with

highest rank only at the age of 23. Even if she was a girl she was the strongest in all of them even his

male fighters stood no chance against her. When she became class A fighter Renzo realised that she

is one of the strongest and instead of selling her to becomes someone's bodyguard or personal

Assassin he kept her for himself and used her for contract killing.

Class A fighters also gives training to other class fighters as they hold the top positions in the school,

everyone treats them with respect and admiration.

**********

Rose woke up in the morning, doing her morning business she wore her training clothes, whenever she

is not doing any job Renzo ordered her to coach other students.

She came to the training hall where all her students were standing in line with discipline.

Everyone was silent as they knew Rose likes everything in discipline and with perfection.

She started their training and one student came running towards the hall hurriedly, he saw Rose

already started the training and knew he will get punished for being late.

Rose looked at between him and the big clock which was hanging on the wall. He was 5 minutes late..

He stood in front of her and greeted her with respect by bowing in front of her. She bowed back with

respect and stood in front of him crossing her arms behind her back. While all other students kept

doing their respective tasks.

" You are late..."

She said in strict voice...

"I apologise senior Rose..."

He replied in monotone...

"Do Hundred rounds of the campus and then join the training session it's your punishment..."

She ordered him and he nodded without any hesitation...

He knew he was getting punished, everyone knows that Rose is one of the best and strict coaches, but

she trained her students perfectly.

"Hundred rounds are too easy, you remember senior Rose made one of the student to clean whole

campus within 5 hours because he missed the training session, she is so strict just like chief Renzo..."

One of the student whispered to his friend...

"Yes but she is so perfect, no one is skilled as her in our campus, I don't think even chief Renzo stand

a chance against her... And plus she never bragged about herself she is so down to earth... I heard

chief Renzo personally trained her, she must have gone through very hard training that's why she is

perfect so perfect in her work, I hope I'll become like her one day...."

His friend replied back...

"Focus boys..."

Rose's voice boomed in the hall when she saw them gossiping instead of focusing on their tasks, they

apologised and resumed their respective tasks.

**********

After she finished her training Renzo called her in his office. When she reached his office she bowed in

front of him with respect...

"Good afternoon chief... You called me?..."

She asked him keeping her posture straight in front of him...

"Good afternoon Rose, please take a seat..."

He said leaning forward on the table...

She sat in front of him and the news playing on the tv grabbed her attention, news about the politicians

murder... She adverts her eyes from the tv to Renzo who was looking at her with a smirk plastered on

his face...

"I knew you will do the job fabulously Rose, you never let me down, police won't be able to find the

culprit, atleast not in this life... No wonder students call you a Silent killer.... Good."

He said in appreciation...

Her face remained calm, she didn't smiled nor she was happy or feeling proud after his appreciation

she just nodded and thanked him with straight face...

She has always behaved like this no emotions and no expressions at all only perfection, like she locked

her each and every emotion deep inside her heart... She never gets angry neither she felt happy when

something good happened in her life, even if she gets injured not even a frown appears on her face,

definitely she cried in pain in the starting years but with time the feeling of pain disappeared from her

life too. Nothing affects her anymore not even pain.

"I have a task for you, one of our important client needs a bodyguard, Ashton got injured and you have

to take his place for the next 6 months, other class A fighters are on other missions, this is the file

about the client..."

He said keeping Damian's file infront of her...

She picked up the file and started going through all the information about him...

"Mafia boss ?"

She asked and he nodded in response...

"He wants the best one and I think you are perfect for this job, it's only for 6 months until Ashton comes

back on duty. I will transfer the money in your account..."

He told her all the details about the job and about Damian's business...

"Okay"

She accepted the job...

"Great and you remember our rules right..?"

He looked at her with serious expressions...

"Yes...

1. Protect your boss with your life.

2. Never betray him, my loyalty will remain with him until I work for him.

3. Don't defy his orders and don't disrespect him no matter what.

4. Fulfilling his demands and orders will be my first priority.

5. I am suppose to kill each and every person who ever dares to hurt him.

6. His safety comes first and I am suppose to sacrifice my life if I have to, to protect him."

She recalled all the rules in front of her chief with serious face.

"Excellent I know you won't let me down Rose, and remember he is a important client and a very

important task for you, you have to fly there tonight he wants his bodyguard infront of him tomorrow,

collect your ticket and passport from the office they will provide you everything including all the

necessary things... You may leave now, Good luck..."

He said and Rose left the office giving him a firm nod...

********

When She was packing her clothes and all the necessary things she felt someone's presence behind

her...

"How many times have I told you Jackson knock the door before coming in my room..."

She said without turning to him, she locked her bag and kept it on the floor...

"God knows how everytime you manage to sense that I am behind you without even looking at me, and

I did well this time you know I was quite while entering..."

He said with disappointed face, Jackson was a 26 years old man just like her, Renzo adopted Rose

and Jackson at the same time when they were 5 years old and after that they got trained together but

Rose became class A and Jackson was still Class B fighter.

"Yes, you did good but your signature perfume always betrayed you..."

She replied while wearing black hoodie over her tank top , she wore comfortable clothes for travelling...

"Smart... By the way I heard you will be gone for six months. "

He sat down on her bed, she confirmed with a nod.

"Well, I want to tell you something before you leave, it's important..."

He said seriously, Rose looked at him and gestured him to continue...

" I don't how will you react but I have waited so long for this, I was waiting for the right moment but you

are suddenly leaving so I don't have a choice but to tell you that.... That.... I... I..."

He stuttered, Rose narrowed her eyes when she saw his forehead sweating, hands lightly shaking and

he was gulping continuously...

"I don't have time Jackson, speak..."

She said looking at her wristwatch...

Jackson stood up from the bed, standing in front her he held her hands in his, she frowned at his

actions but didn't say anything...

He took a deep breath and said...

"I like you Rose... Not as a friend but more than that..."

She looked at him for a minute with her cold expressionless face, she withdrew her hands from his and

said...

"You shouldn't Jackson, you know these kind of things does not exist in our world. We are not allowed

to show any kind of emotions, it's not good for us and our jobs."

She said in her usual cold tone whatever Jackson said her heart didn't even flutter for a moment by his

words, she was standing there like her childhood friend didn't confessed his feelings for her.

"What job you are talking about, killing people for money, you always talk about rules and discipline and

I respect that I am glad that you became class A fighter and I am trying hard too. but don't you think we

also have a right to become happy, laugh and enjoy our life like normal people, even if we are

Assassin's we are humans too. We have a right to express our emotions and feelings, we have a right

to cry Rose. Renzo is using our skills for his benefits, for earning money. We can escape from this

place and make our new world."

Jackson tried to change her thoughts, she shook her head negatively at his words.

"Yeah! escape from here and then Renzo will hire every Assassin in this school to find and kill you, do

you want to spend your whole life with fear that anytime Renzo will come and kill you and your loved

ones, did you forget what happened with Andrew when he ran away from here and you know how

Renzo killed him for breaking the rules, you think you can spend your life peacefully after escaping,

May be you think like that Jackson but I don't, all the people we killed for money were not good people

we don't kill innocents you know that, they were either criminals or corrupt officers and politicians, and I

don't want to become happy or feel any kind of emotions, emotions will destroy you and before saying

anything about Renzo remember that you are standing here alive because of him, whatever skills you

have it's because of Renzo, he adopted us that's why we are here otherwise we would have been dead

by now or may be begging on the streets you know that very well, and how this world treats abandoned

kids I don't have to explain you that, we are lucky that we ended up here and not in some Whorehouse.

Emotions and feelings do not exist in my world Jackson specially love, it's nothing but a waste of

time..."

She replied coldly breaking Jackson's heart..

"It does exist in your world Rose only difference is you learnt to hide it perfectly, I know you care and

feels emotions just like me but you don't show that to anyone and I don't blame you for that I know why

you are like this, it's because of your mother, isn't it?..."

He said and tried to search for any kind emotions in her cold grey eyes but found none.

"I don't have any mother Jackson I am an orphan and you are wrong I don't feel anything, no emotions

or any kind of happiness, nothing, and you should do the same the more you try to feel about things the

more it will hurt to kill someone while doing your job."

Her words broke his heart but he didn't showed that in front of her he tried to act cold like her...

He nodded at her words...

" Yes You are right, you should leave now you are getting late... And one more thing Rose I'll pray for

someone to come in your life and make you fall in love with him, then you will understand the meaning

of emotions and feelings, it's a beautiful feeling Rose it will change you and no matter how good you

are to hide your emotions from the world you will loose in front of him, love will change you for good..."

She didn't said anything after listening his words, she took her luggage and left the room not even

bothering to look at her childhood friend who just confessed his feelings in front of her which hurts

Jackson but he shrugged it off...

"I know you do feel things Rose, it's just you are too good to hide them under your cold and

emotionless facade."

He said to himself and left her empty room...
