Senra's pov

"Why does he want me?"

I asked, even though I knew already what the reason was. The men in front of me shuffled closer, two of them pulling out a gun and one a crossbow.

"Business hun'."

Those were the only words uttered before they all lunged at me, I turned around and hopped up the dumpster to grab the alley's wall. I scrambled up and narrowly avoided another dart that would have got me in the leg. Cuss words filled my ears as I jumped down to other side.

My feet slapped on the ground as I ran, this part of town wasn't a nice one, people used drugs as food and mafias were a religion thus why turf wars happened every day. For once in my life I was in luck, as there was little to no people on the streets as I made my way to a specific building.

Stopping at a rundown house I knocked on the door while discreetly looking around me, in case the men pursuing me found their way.

The door creaked open, revealing a man with his tattooed arms crossed. He glimpsed at my arms, searching for the hidden insignia in the dragon. He looked at me to make sure I wasn't the enemy, satisfied, he let me in and shut the door, gesturing for me to follow him down the hallway.

"Is Daniel in?", I asked.

The tattooed man shook his head while keeping up with his long strides, we walked down a flight of stairs, and through a long hallway. At the end of the hallway was a metal door which led to another way out, I always came here if I was ever in a pinch.

I pat the tall man on the back, smirking slightly at his pained grunt, and pushed open the door. I was attacked by the bright rays of sunlight which forced me to squint.

What you just read might've been confusing but long story short, I've done things that are seen as immoral by society and once you've been touched by darkness you never truly get over it.

Alas that is the instinct of survival humans were born with, I did anything and everything to keep myself alive even if the people around me were endangered as well.

Going back on track with the story, I looked around me, surveying the chipped brick wall around me and muddled asphalt.

Sighing, I sauntered forward, keeping my guard up just in case they found me but that would be unlikely.

I had to walk quite a bit to get to the Sunrise residence, luckily on my way to the room I dodged Ema and the brothers. Though I was slightly unnerved by the way Iori was staring at me, his gaze empty and haunting.

I paced back and forth in my room, contemplating about what happened just minutes ago. I was in a tough situation, with a dangerous man after me and a delicate situation at 'home'.

Sighing, I plopped onto my bed and slowly let my mind drift away, visiting the buried memories deep, deep down.

"Hey what's your name?"

"You want to go on a date?"

"Come on! You know you want to!"

"Why are you such a fucking prude?"

"Of course I love you, why would you think otherwise?"

"What the fuck are you doing bitch!?"

"I love you."

"I'm going to beat the shit out of you!"

"I love you."

"You are fucking useless!"

"I love you."

"You do as I say!"

"I love y –Senra!"

I jerked out of my musings, my ears met the sound of my door being banged. A male voice was shouting my name. I felt slightly disoriented and staggered up.

I just made it to the door and was about to reach for the knob when it suddenly opened, making me lose my balance. I tried turning my body to catch myself on my hands but I was instead embraced by warmth.

The scent of cologne and musk drifted up to my nose, the muscular arms were tight around me. My head was spinning by the sudden overpowering masculinity surrounding me.

I looked up and saw blue eyes darkened with worry and lips tightened into one line. I remember those lips moving, spelling out my name before I welcomed the overwhelming darkness.
