Chapter Two
The days passed slowly in that dark cell and Saroya grew ever more distant and ever more engrossed in her memories and the past.
Every night she dreamed of him and every day she heard the voices of the two strange men echoing in her head. "We need someone with your...talents...to do a little job for us." It had sounded innocent enough when they had first met her, and she had never wanted to spend her whole life as someone whose worth was only what a man would pay for her. They had offered her more money than she thought she would ever see and that's exactly what they had said: "We can pay you more money than you will ever see in this line of work! So much that you will never have to work again."
Oh how good that had sounded; to never have to sell herself to another stupid lustful man going through a mid-life crisis! Naturally she had jumped at the offer and agreed to do what they wanted.
Stupid girl! She thought scathingly to herself, you should have known something was up! You should have run then and there and refused to do anything! But no at the mention of money they had you, proving yet again that you could be bought if the price was high enough! She hated herself for that and was so angry and full of guilt that she felt she had no right to live. She had done the unforgivable and now was suffering the consequences.
Her mind drifted to the day she left with the men to find out what she was to do...
Flashback, Saroya's POV:
The sun was splitting the stones as I left the Red Night Inn with the two strange men who had so far refused to tell me their real names, or any form of a name. So I have christened them W1 and W2! (Weirdo 1 and Weirdo 2!)
They hadn't really told me all that much about what I'm going to be doing but they've offered me security for life in that I'll never have to work another day in my life and I'll still have money to spare! "It can't be as bad as what I've been doing so far though." I thought and even the weather seemed to be telling me all would be well!
We walked for a couple of minutes down the road to a large plain building in the middle of town, there was no sign above the door, which was a bit odd but I went in after them anyway.
Once inside the luxurious hall I was told to wait and that someone would be out for me soon. So I waited and waiteduntil at last someone came for me. A man with no hair a squashed nose and piggy little eyes was to be my guide around the place. He wasn't really all that much taller than me but boy did he emanate power! He just stood there and it oozed off him in great waves. I was kind of scared!
"Ms. Banks?" he said in a deep gravelly voice.
"Yes." Came my timid answer.
"Follow me please." He said and turned away, heading for the staircase. He didn't speak at all and I named him Rocky in my head because he was so broad and silent. We arrived at a small door off the main landing, here Rocky just pointed and grunted. I took this to mean I was to go in, so I did. I looked around and found myself in a small bedroom. There was nothing in there except for an old bed, a chest of drawers and W2 by the tiny window.
He turned to me and said; "I have been instructed to tell you of your assignment. P lease sit down."
I perched nervously on the edge of the hard bed
"You have been brought here to commence training in assassination." My breath froze in my throat. "The Master thinks you are the ideal person for this particular mission. You will be filled in further on the details in a short while but for now be content to know that you will be trained to the best of your abilities and will have a week until you have to leave. It is a bit sooner than we would like but unforeseen difficulties have lead to major changes in the plan."
Somehow I managed to find the ability to speak. "Assassination?" I croaked out, "Who am I to assassinate?"
"That is not important at the moment, for now you need to unpack, put those clothe s on," he pointed to a lump of clothing on the bed, "and come to the front hall and meet you trainer."
"But..."
"Do it now please; the Master will explain when the time is right. You have five minutes." And with that W2 left me in the room and shut the door behind him.
I walked over to the bed and picked up the clothes. There was a pair of trousers, a t-shirt and an old jacket. All items appeared to have been worn before, but other than that were in perfect condition. I put them on and to my surprise found they fit perfectly which freaked me out a bit I must admit!
Once I had them on I went back down the stairs and into the front hall my mind filled with the person I was going to have to kill. There in the hall stood Rocky and W2. W2 looked as uninterested as usual, but Rocky was leering at me and somehow I knew that it was going to be a very hard week!
Saroya groaned and got up off the floor. She knew she should be trying to escape, get out of there and go start a new life elsewhere but she just wasn't right. She was so lethargic and tired all the time! It was almost as if her body had given up the fight as she spent so much time down memory lane.
Suddenly she heard footsteps racing along the corridor outside her cell.
"Saroya!!" she heard someone yell. Someone she recognised.
"Daryl!" she called back hardly believing her ears as she raced to the door."Daryl! Is that you? Where are you?"
"I'm right here!" he said as he crashed into her door. "Oh hell! Saroya!"
Saroya could see his face pressed up against the small barred window.
"Daryl! Oh my God, Daryl what are you doing here?" She cried. But he had no chance to answer as the guards caught up to him and one grabbed him roughly by the arms as the other took hold of his blond hair and yanked hard making him cry out in pain.
"C'mon you frigging piece of shit!" The guards snarled and began to drag him away, but he struggled as he went and they had a hard job of it!
"Daryl! Daryl!"Saroya screamed after him. He didn't answer her though because of the hold the guards had on him, but her eyes met his green ones and she saw a world of sorrow and regret in them just before he was dragged through the door at the end of the corridor and it was closed with a loud bang.
She stayed where she was for a few minutes in complete shock, but then went back to sit on her bunk and just stared at the floor, one thought going through her mind: "What the hell is going on here?"
I know that's kinda leaving it a bit of a cliff-hanger but who knows, it might make ye all want to come back and hear more!
