{I can't believe he going to kill me, but on the bright side he hesitated, wait, before I jump to any conclusions. But first, I need to test him out.}
Later on, Luke placed the bird in Astrid's hands then they set it free. But this time, Luke looked at Astrid more intensely as he could see the tremor in her hands as she was trying to avoid him. He released that the noise outside the door earlier was her, but how does he explain his situation?
As they go back inside the house Luke shuts the door quickly and grabs her hand.
"Why are you trying to avoid me?" he asks, as Astrid is cornered. She pulls him down with a sturdy grip.
"You know not everything is about you, I still need some closure" as she gets back up on her feet until Luke tugs her hand.
" You're right but everything is going to be about you since you're an assassin sent to kill your so-called cousin. But you, no, you don't remember your morals and plans you had to expose the truth and hid like a coward. I know you found out that I have to kill you, but this doesn't have to end that way. You definitely know who you really are, cause no one in their right mind will have that much strength to take down a guy who is 10x stronger. but you looked for an opening"
Astrid looks shocked as to how he knew every little dirty secret of hers. They both loosen their grip on each other and get up, they remained quiet for a little while until gunshots broke their silence.
Luke goes across the room and grabs a gun and tosses one to Astrid. She ran out of bullets and makes her way to the back entrance and flanks them whilst Luke takes them out.
Luke reloads his gun as he sees the shooters disappearing one by one like flies being scattered. He turns to see Astrid who suddenly disappears, he searches around frantically until he hears her calling him. Luke looks at Astrid reassuring and check if she's hurt anywhere and hugs her. She gets lost in the moment until reality pulls her back to the ground that he has to kill her. She tries to push him away but he doesn't let go.
{Why do I feel so sad and broken inside? Even if it's possible, there's always going to be something bad that happens. But he caught me out, I can't seem to escape his trap. So this is what it feels like, to be happy but broken ...Please just let me hold on a little longer to this moment with him. Even if it hurts me and he doesn't know. I don't mind this, it's okay because it's you, I like.}
Luke gets shocked to see tears rolling down Astrid's face.
