NINJA

She nodded, he opened the
door for her, she mouthed
“thank you” and got in. All
the way home shivers ran down her spine, she would have died in the hands of a
man seeking vengeance but Easton always came to herrescue. She looked at him and smiled secretly, she felt secure around him. Soon she dozed off.
Easton tapped her slightly on

her arm, “hey, wake up, we
are home”, her eyes opened
slowly to meet his smiling eyes; she smiled a little and mouthed “thank you”. She
got out of the car and walked
slowly into the house. Her
thoughts shifted to Bruce, how on earth could he trick her like that? She felt like a
fool and swore under breathe
never to fall a victim of deceit
again. She heard Easton’s steps
behind her, she turned round
“thank you for saving me”, he frowned “you have said this a
thousand times already, it’s
my job to make sure you are
okay, you’re like a sister to
me”. She moved closer to him,
kissed him on his right cheek and gave him a tight hug, he

returned the embrace and
kissed her on her forehead.
“but remember I am your
boss, so step away”, he
teased, “yes sir”, she stepped back and faced the direction to her room. He watched her
leave before answering the
phone that had been vibrating
in his pocket for a long time.

It was Scarlet. He loved his sister so much. They never really got along when they
were kids, but as they grew
older, the bond increased. He
loved his niece Ella too and
sometimes hoped she wouldn’t end up like them; he wished a normal life for her.

They talked on and on until he
heard Ella’s voice in the
background, “let me talk to
my beautiful niece”, “hello” came the little angelic
voice of Ella,
“hello, precious one, how are
you doing?”
“I’m fine. Uncle mommy told
me that my nanny is staying with you, is that true?”, he
paused for some few seconds,
it dawned on him that his
little niece was already
attached to Crystal. “Yes
honey, she lives with me, but right now, she has to rest, she
had a rough day”,
“okay, tell her I said hi”, she
sounded disappointed. After
he spoke to scarlet for a few
seconds he ended the call and walked briskly to Crystal
room. He tapped on the door.
“Come in”, he got in to meet
her staring out of her
window.
“is everything okay?” “yea, why?”
“you look dampened”
“Oh! the thought of almost
dying today freaks me out a
little”. He smiled.
“anyway, I have a message from somebody” she looked
interested suddenly
“who?”
“Ella”, her face lit up brighter,
“really?”
“yea, she said I should tell you hi”, Crystal smiled, “in a way
she is always on my mind I
miss her, especially the way
she smiles. What else do you
want to tell me?” he cleared
his throat. “ I just came to spur you up on your next
mission”, she laughed, he
looked confused, “okay! Why
are you laughing, nothing is
funny”. She stopped laughing
suddenly, “I want to be a Ninja in this mission”. His
mouth hung open, his eyes
showed total bewilderment,
then he busted into a long
laughter “ you must be
joking, what do you know about ninjas”. She didn’t join
in the laughter. “ I am serious
Easton, I have been doing
some research about them”,
“oh really”, he feigned interest
in what she was saying. “yes”, “tell me more”, he
urged with a smirk on his
face. She took out a paper out
of a nearby drawer and
started reading out.
“ a ninja don’t play sport, unless killing is the sport, a
ninja can fight skillfully with
any object, a ninja wears
headbands, a ninja can live in a
house secretly for days, a
ninja can hide in incense smoke, a ninja always land on
their feet, ninjas can crush golf
balls with just two fingers, a
ninja can catch bullets with
their teeth, a ninja can……..”,
his loud laughter disrupted her reading.
“you must be kidding me. So
all these things you have
mentioned you can do them”,
“yes, I have been taking
lessons”. “where?”
“online”, he busted into
another fit of laughter. She
had a straight face on; she
sincerely didn’t see anything
funny in what she was saying. He noticed her serious
face and forced himself to
stop laughing, but a smile was
still dancing around his face.
“So you intend on dressing up
like a ninja on the day of the mission”, “yes”.
“hmmmm, I see. I can’t wait
to see you dress up like a ninja
and do all the things you just
read out”, he shook his head
“you are funny”. He dipped his hand into his pocket “I hope
you would be down for
dinner today, atleast leave
your room and dine with me
today”
“okay”. He opened the door and walked out, shutting the
door slightly. As soon as he
left, she rolled her eyes and
sighed heavily, she felt stupid
for telling him about her ninja
idea.
