Family: chapter 8

Annabelle pov

I was not in the Amazon anymore. There was no heat or cold. It was warm. Opening my eyes I found myself in a hospital room.

First thought was that I had got to get out. Pulling the covers off I found myself in a hospital gown. It was knee high. I noticed my hair was know loose and black. I now realized that I had been stripped of all my gadgets and gizmos.

Never mind. I wasn't a black belt for nothing. Taking a deep breath I walked to the door. A keypad lock. I've been braking those since I was knee high. Kicking it and jamming it. My leg seared with pain. Not hesitating a minute I walked out and promptly pressed his temple. Knocking him out.

I run down the passage. And ran out the door. Only to find out I was on an island. Shit. All I wanted was to get out. Taking off the hospital gown I mentally prepared myself for the swim. Stripped down to my under garments. Running to the harbor I faced land.

The tiny connecting islands and bridges told me it was only one place Venice. And that was where I was heading.

Diving off I started in a slow stroke. I had to conserve my energy if I wanted to make it to land. It was a couple of kilometers away. Nothing I couldn't handle.

About five kilometers through I was tired. I hadn't had anything to eat in days and it was taking its toll on my body.

I knew I could not give up. I had to go back. I couldn't even think about what Josh was thinking. I should've listened to him. All those lectures he gave me about this world. How I was not ready for all this. But no. I didn't listen. I chose to be stubborn.

Feeling the last of my energy drain I closed my eyes. Like some sort of consolation, I remembered I had finished my mission. I had given up hope and quickly felt myself going to sleep. Willing myself to die.

Not before the roar of a speedboat flew by. I didn't pay much attention. Until I was lifted out. Slap. A opened my eyes to see you dared had slapped me. The same pair of blue eyes I met with in the jungle looked straight back.

" I will slap you again if you sleep. You could kill yourself." The voice said belonging to the on and only Yassen Gregorovich.

Deciding I was too tired to argue, I listened. My fighting spirit gone. We neared the island that I had tried to escape from.

"Why am I going there for." I asked

" You will train there Scorpia has found you to be an asset." Yassen answered," So be grateful.

This dude is seriously skating on thin ice. I really wanted to kill him. It would be easy if he was normal. Unfortunately he was an assassin and would see the kill easy. Besides my hands were tied with rope so well that I couldn't even jingle out.

What did I ever do to deserve this. We landed on the cursed island.

Yassen leaned close to my ear and whispered, " Welcome to Malagosto."

I mentally screamed. Of course I knew about Malagosto. It was Scorpia's training centre for assassins.

Know I really wish I was dead.

They were still looking for her. The MI6 refused to let me do it myself. I was back in London. Trying to keep calm.

I knew the MI6 was trying to do there best. If she really was on a mission of some sort she would have been back by now. She was that good.

Walking into the church. I walked in praying. Lighting a candle all I prayed for was her safety.

A/N: That's all for now. Schools starting again on the 10th so I don't know how fast I will be able to update. Enjoy Easter weekend. Please R&R see you asap.
