Chapter 25
How could I not worry about him? He was the only person I cared about,so I had to worry about him. Oh what the hell was wrong with me now?
I would do anything to go back to being an assassin. But I wouldn't be able to love him anymore. I knew that rule…but he did to. He took risks though. I didn't…well…at least I didn't try to. I never wanted something to happen to me.
I still had a hard time sleeping that night. I didn't want to have to go back to sleep and think about my past again. So I just tried to stay quiet and hopefully I wouldn't wake him up again.
The sun was starting to rise again and I had barely gotten any sleep. It sucked too. I hated feeling like this because I had never really been sick my whole entire life until now.
Kirill turned over and put his hand on my shoulder. "Are you awake?"he whispered in my ear.
I nodded. "Yes." I turned over and faced him.
"You haven't gotten any sleep have you?"
I shook my head and didn't look at him.
He put his hand on my forehead. "Your fever's coming down. That's good."
I still didn't say anything.
He kissed me. "Are you all right?"
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine."
"Tell me if something's wrong."
I sighed. I couldn't lie to him anymore. "I didn't want to dream about my past again. That's why I didn't get any sleep."
"I see."
"And…"I went silent.
"What is it?"
"It's not just things about my past Kirill…I keep seeing the future too and something bad always happens."
"Like…?"
"I see you dying…"
He kissed me again. "Everything's going to be all right."
"But what if something does happen Kirill? What if I'm right?"
"Nothing's going to happen Nicole. You know that."
I sighed again.
"You need to get some sleep all right?"
"I'm just so sick of it."
"Sick of what?"
"I'm just so sick of seeing those dreams. I just don't know what to do anymore."
He kissed me again. "What you need to do is get some sleep for me ok? I don't want you to get worse."
"What if they come back?"
"They won't. They won't know we're here anymore."
I smiled. "You always have a plan don't you?"
"It always works. Now get some sleep Nicole."
"Are you going somewhere?"
"No. I can't now because I need to take care of you."
I smiled and went back to sleep…hoping that I would have good dreams.
