Assassin Initiate

Pain....pain....a lot of pain...my whole body hurts. Where.....am I?...

I drowsily open my eyes....an unfamiliar ceiling enters my vision.

Then a woman's face enters my vision. Ah, it's Jane. I slowly remembered things, I entered the animus and then blacked out.

"How are you feeling??" Jane asked.

"Pain....my...whole body....aches." I answered while struggling to open my mouth. At first the pain was unbearable, but now its manageable.

"You were out for 15-mins. If you feel any thing else, please tell me immediately." She asked with a straight face.

"Nah, nothing else. Let me lay here for some more time, my body still aches." True, I don't want to move while in pain. Every time I try to, it hurts.

"I will go and call your companions, they are exploring the place." While saying that, she moved out of my vision.

I quietly stared at the ceiling. I lied to Jane, other than pain, I feel something different. I lied cause I don't know what is different. I just know something changed, it's just difficult to pinpoint.

After a couple of mins, the pain subsided enough so that I can move around a little. I sat on the animus and waited for others.

Then, they came through one of the big archway located near the the entrance of hall through which we came, and the first thing Rebecca said,

"Jason, tell me how are you feeling?" her expression was of worry and voice full of concern.

"I'm fine, take a look at me." I reassured her.

After all this, comes the main question. I looked directly at Jane, she was standing quietly at one side while others asked me questions, and asked her,

"Now care to tell me, what just happened?" Truthfully, I was quite angry. For no reason I had to bear all that pain. But, I was unable to get angry at her for some reason. That was just a feeling, and it increased after going in animus and....feeling all that pain.

"Yes. Please ask your questions now." She said while bowing lightly.

I swear she be perfect maid if she wore a maid's uniform. Her polite tone, not getting involved in conversations till asked, standing with a straight posture.

"First things first, who are you?" I started with a basic questions.

"My name is Jane Von Treasta. Jane for short. I'm from the Treasta family, which used to research technology." A basic answer for basic question.

"Then, How did you get in?"

"I didn't? I was inside this place to begin with."

Now, that's....weird? How was she here in the first place?

"What were you doing here?"

"Waiting."

Her answers are not helping at all.

"For whom?"

"For you."

Sigh.....Although I did had a feeling, but listening to this still feels.....different.

"Why??"

"Because I was ordered to, and I wanted to."

??, She was ordered....to wait?? and for me?? Who would have ordered her.

"By whom were you ordered?" I continued to ask.

"Your family, or specifically, your mother."

Mother?? That caring face of my mother comes to my mind.

"The one you are thinking of is not the one who ordered me." During my imagination, Jane's voice came to my ears.

"...is not??" WTFF....This is too much for me to bear....My mom is not my mom.....then what am I??...This feeling, am I still a human??

My mind went to chaos... I stopped asking anymore questions, cause I can't think of one.

During my mess, Jane said,

"Young Master, are you okay?? your face is pale." her voice full of concern, different from the usual straight one.

That brought me back,

"I'm fine. But what did you just called me?" I asked while forcefully calming myself.

"Young Master." That straight tone was back.

"Why are you calling me that??"

"Cause you are my Young Master."

.....I'm speechless.....This woman does not know how to explain things.

"Then would you explain why am I your your Young Master??" I tried to change my question.

"Cause you are Master's and Mistress's son."

*pfft*

I heard a smirk and saw Rebecca and others forcefully suppressing their laugh.

Those three.....laughing at my misfortune.

"Forgive me Young Master for not explaining properly. Lets start from beginning. My family, the Treasta family, is a subordinate family of yours. We have proudly served Young Master's family for a long time. And in my generation, I was chosen to directly assist you. That's why you are my Young Master. I was in a deep sleep here in this.....Vault, you call it. Forgive me Young Master for taking so long to come to your service."

The last sentence was told in apologetic tone while bowing.

"So...in short, you are my maid. Appointed by my family to serve me. And due to your family being subordinate of mine, you have to obey me... Am I correct??" I asked hesitatingly.

"Yes." she replied swiftly.

... What the hell is happening with my life?? I got involved in a bomb explosion in building, got kidnapped, entered the hidden side of world, found ruins of extinct people, got to know my mother i actually not my mother, I also got a personal maid.

Thinking these things, my head starts to hurts.

Then,

"Hey, I don't want to get in between, but I think we should hurry up and leave." Rebecca said while walking towards me.

"Yes, I think we should leave." I don't know what Lucy will think if we got late.

"Hey, did you find anything to take from here?" I asked while turning towards Shaun.

"Unfortunately nothing. The whole place seems empty. There was nothing in the rooms I visited." He showed a disappointed look while saying that.

"hm..How I wish I could take that animus with us. I think that is the only animus which works for me." I think I understand how Shaun is feeling now.

"As you wish Young Master." Jane said while walking towards the animus. She bent down towards the leg side and opened a cover plate. She took out a screen from outta nowhere and plugged the animus wires in the screen. After some fiddling, she detached it and put the cover plate back on. She then walked towards the head area and tapped her foot there. The same platform came up. Again some fiddling. Then suddenly, magic happened. The whole animus broke in many small portions, and they started to transform. Rotating, moving, vibrating etc., The whole thing then disappeared and just a grey suitcase was left behind which she picked up and walked towards me.

"It's packed up Young Master. Now you can set it up any where you want." She said while flashing a smile towards me.

...I looked towards other three, and as expected I saw dumbfounded expressions on their faces, especially Rebecca.

"Now lets, get going."
