Chapter 3

Past

A girl trembled in the corner of a dark room. She hugged her knees close to her chest. She bit her lips to prevent herself from crying. She raised her hands, and pressed it onto her ears. She tried to muffle the painful screaming she heard since times ago. She looked up at the girl who had been screaming painfully. The girl was sprawled in the middle of the room, clutching onto her chest tightly, as if her clutch could ease the pain she felt.

Then, the screaming turned into chocked sound, and then nothing. 'No! No! Please don't let them..' The girl thought to herself. She hugged herself tightly. She could feel the warm liquid in her eyes. She looked up at the door. And like she had expected, the door opened. And the silhouette of a tall man stood there. The light turned on and she could see the man clearly. He had short blonde hair and handsome face. He wore a black suit, with a light blue shirt beneath it. 'He is the Boss! Why is he here?'

"Hmmmm," she heard the man hum lowly, as if thinking about something. 'Usually, the man who checked on us would look around the room to search the next victim. Maybe he will do that too.' She thought and then she looked around the room, only to find that she was alone. There was no one else in the room besides the now corpse and herself. 'Me! The next victim...it would be me!' She felt fear coming to her mind. She tightened her hug on herself. The warm liquid in her eyes almost fell down, but she held it. She looked up at the man with fear.

The man did something she didn't expect; he walked backwards and talked to his subordinates who wore a white long jacket. She didn't know what were they talking about, and it scared her more. Then the man stopped talking and walked forward again. He eyed her with an innocent smile.

The girl could see that the man had walked into the room. He walked past the corpse as if there was nothing there. He walked towards her and kneeled right in front of her. She looked down; she didn't want to face the Boss's face. In the corner of her eyes, she could see the man raised his right hand. 'Is he going to hurt me?' She closed her eyes tightly.

She could hear the movement from the man in front of her. Then, she felt a warm hand on her chin raised her head. She opened her eyes slowly. The first thing she saw was the man's sapphire blue eyes looking into her brown eyes. Then the small smile he held on his handsome face. She felt that the man in front of her could see through everything. She eyed the man with confused eyes. 'What? Why?'

The man who understood the confused look the black haired girl gave to him only smiled innocently. "Congratulations! You are the survivor of this little experiment!" he said with a cheerful voice which scared the girl. The girl didn't say anything.

The man continued to smile innocently. He added, "And as a reward, you don't have to be experimented on anymore..." The girl widened her eyes. 'I don't have to go through that pain?'She thought. "... And you will be my main pawn for the next plan!" he added excitedly.

'Eh? Pawn? Plan? What does he mean?' The girl bit down on her lips, expecting the worst. She opened her mouth, "W-W-What do you me-mean?"

He eyed the girl and smirked, "You will be the bait, to lure Vongola and his Guardians so I can kill them and destroy the Vongola Famiglia."

She eyed the man confusedly. She couldn't understand what the man said. 'Bait? Lure? How?'

The man only smiled sweetly. 'What does he mean? What is he planning?' She thought.

The man stood up. "Please be a good girl, so the plan will flow smoothly." he said, and then walked away from the girl.

When he had gone outside the room, two subordinates walked in. One of them stopped beside the corpse in the middle of the room, while the other one kept walking towards her. He crouched down in front of the girl and chained her left foot to the wall behind her. Then walked back to the other subordinate and helped him to take the corpse outside.

She eyed the door and the Boss who stood beside it. He smiled innocently and waved at her, "See you!" With that he closed the door; leaving the girl alone in her own thoughts.

She let out her breath, which she didn't realize she held. Now that she was alone, she felt fear overwhelming her. She hugged her body again. She tried to remember what the man had said.

'He said that I will be bait...how? And kill...destroy...the Vongola Famiglia?' At the thought of someone will be killed, she could feel her tears were about to fall. She bit her lips hard to prevent herself from crying. 'Will I have to see another person be killed in front of me again? She squeezed her arms hard. I don't want to. It really hurts and it's scary to see people scream in pain and then die in front of me.' She began to cry as fear got the better of her mind.

She still remembered it, how the painful the screaming pierced into her ears, how the blood splattered on the floor, how some experiment objects tried to killed themselves because they couldn't handle the pain. And how those people let out chocked sounds and then they didn't move anymore and how their lifeless bodies were dragged roughly outside.

She cried, cried and cried. She couldn't stop the flowing tears. And she couldn't hold the heavy feeling in her heart. Then, she fell into the sea of darkness.

After waking up from another dreamless sleep, she opened her eyes tiredly and raised her body up from the cold grey tiled floor. She scanned around the room. The grey walls never made her feel glad to wake up in such a place.

She let out a heavy sigh. It had been 2 weeks since the Boss told her that she would be the bait. And in those long two weeks, she felt her fear build up. Yet, she told herself not to feel weak and helpless. But actually, she felt anxious and wanted to die so badly. She knew there was no hope for her to live. 'No matter what, the Boss will kill me after he destroys Vongola.' She thought.

Then, the door opened. She looked up to see the Boss stand there alone with no subordinates. She could see his cold smile clearly. She eyed the man warily.

The man only waved at her and asked, "Are you ready?"

She thought to herself, 'Ready for what?; She was about to ask when the man beat her to it.

The blond haired boss saw the confused look on the girl's face. So he decided to tell her, "Ready for the plan of course!"

Receiving no response from the girl, he said again, "The Vongola have arrived. You don't have to do anything. Just stay there and Vongola will approach you eventually."

No response again. He frowned and then decided to leave. "See you!" And the door closed.

'Eventually? What does he mean?' She thought, but only shrugged it off. 'They will come eventually and then be killed. So am I. I'm waiting and I'll be killed eventually.' She didn't do anything anymore. She will wait for the death that will come to her sooner or later.

The girl pressed her trembling palms hard to her ears to muffle the sound of fighting and gunshots. She was scared.

When those sounds began to fade, she let her hands fall down to her laps. She was breathing hard and her hands trembled in fear. She tried to calm down her breathing and panicking mind. And then she heard running footsteps, she began to panic and get scared.

She held her breath when she heard the footsteps suddenly stop in front of her room. 'Who? Why do they stop here?' She heard someone talking, and then followed by running footsteps. She released the breath she held.

'Have they left?' She thought. She looked at the door. And from the small gap between the door and floor, she could see the shadow of someone who stood behind the door.'There's still one person outside! Who?'

The door opened slightly. The girl clutched onto her grey patient gown. She could feel a small bead of sweat trickle down from her forehead. She was anxious and scared. The door opened and she could see a figure with spiky brunet hair walk into the room. 'He hasn't noticed me.'

The man's eyes fell onto her. She felt scared when the man walked toward her. Her body stiffened when the man knelled in front of her. She was shocked to see the soft and honest smile on the man's face. 'Is he Vongola?'

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you." he said to her. She eyed the man when the man cut the chain with flames on his hand. From the corner of her eyes, she could see something moving. So she looked up a bit and saw the Boss was about to slash the man in front of her.
