Solo Assassin

I looked at Sophie on final time before leaving the parlour to my room . I had to find Jhea. I just hope she was okay. I removed the shirt I was wearing. The arms were soaked in blood. My blood..

I recalled the battle in that building. It was a scary one. I have died. Solomon Wroth Wis was getting more scary as the days passed by. I could not shake away the feeling of failing but I had never failed and I was not going to fail to Solomon Wroth Wis. Never ! I was not going to lose to a man who wanted me dead.

I looked at myself on my mirror. I was seriously brutalised. My head carried a severe injury due to the accident. My left hand was a total mess. My right hand also had a cut. My chest was brutalised. I was still examining myself when someone knocked on my room door. I turned sharply. 

"Who is it?" I asked hoping it would be my sister. But it wasn't. It was Sophie.

"Sophie. Open up please. You need your injuries to treated." she said. I sighed.

"The door is open." I stated and she walked in. She looked at my in awe. My muscles were contracting . I looked at her and sat down on my bed. She came with a first aid box. I do not remember having on in the house.

"How did you get those?" I asked in astonishment. She smiled at me then opened the first aid box. 

"I have one and I thought it wise to come with one." she said as she got out methylated spirit. I did not like it. I always screamed when it was poured on my wound . It felt terrible. I wanted to tell her not to worry but my injuries were too deep for one not to worry. I smiled at her.

She cut out a piece of cotton wool and dabbed it with the methylated spirit. She approached me and I gulped slowly. 

"Got to be careful. I could scream if you press on hard." I notified, wishing this never happened. She giggled a little and collected my left hand. Gosh why was she starting with the worse case.

She pressed the cotton wool on the cut in my palm and I suddenly screamed out aloud. It had been a while since I screamed. 

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed. She giggled. She was loving the sound of my painful voice. Damn she was a devil. I had pleaded with her. 

"I told you not to press hard." I said in reminder but she pressed again. "Ahhhh!" I screamed. She laughed.

"You witch ! This is not funny!" I said in pain but she smiled.

"Next time be more careful with who you fight. Not everyone is the same." Sophie said and I took note of that. But she had to help me. I removed my hands from her grip. She looked at me in suprise. 

"Look if you wanna get this over , then you got to press it harder." she said. I looked at her sternly. She was right. I needed this wound to get healed fast. I had to visit Druwex Spenter. He had to explain lots to me.

"Okay fine but do mot tell my sister about my screams okay?" I pleaded. If Jhea got to know about it she would disturb me , calling me a weakling and I was avoiding that.

"Okay." She said and began applying the treatment. I shouted when necessary and I have to sat the methylated spirit did melt my man spirit away. I was screaming like a lady all through the time she applied it on me.

Finally, we were done with the first aid treatment. I was relieved. My left hand was bandaged and so was my head. My chest was not. Its was not such a severe injury there.

"How are your exams? " I asked. She packed up her items.

"Pretty well. I think so. " she muttered. I stared at her. She was nearly similar to my sister. Speaking of her I had to fetch her.

"Sophie, I am going to get Jhea back home. " I said and she stared at me. 

"I'm coming with you." she said but in as much as I appreciated her help, I did want her to follow me. Solomon Wroth Wis was out there. I did not want Solomon Wroth Wis to think she was my girlfriend and get for me to feel pain. Gosh! How was I going to explain this to her?

"You know what..." I stopped half way as I heard the sound of a motor bike. It was familiar . It sounded like Clen's bike. I looked out through my window and saw two people on a motor bike coming towards or house. 

I rushed out of my room , Sophie closing up gap between us as she chased after me. I ran out of the house to see Clen and Jhea. I must say, he did a good one here. 

Jhea rushed to me and embraced me tightly that I nearly fainted. When she finally let go of me I looked at her and she stared at my injuries. 

"Brother? " she questioned but I smiled at her.

"Do not worry , ..." I paused as I looked at Clen. "Your friend helped me with that okay. I'm fine now. I'm okay. Do not worry about me. Now where were you ? You kept us worried." I said and I saw tears drip down her cheek. 

"I thought you were going to die . You did not come back that night and you never sleep of duty. I felt something bad happened to you. " I smiled. Did she really care this much? I did not to destroy this moment , so I did not ask. 

"I'm okay. Now let's get inside." I said and held her to myself. Clen and Sophie stayed back. They stared at each other for a while before Sophie got inside. Clen stayed back and after a while he left in his bike.
