11 Few more years to live (2/2)

”I sense a 'but' coming along.”

”But this wasn't entirely the case. Your change was a success but there was a problem. Your heart had a hole because of the drugs you had been given previously. They took care of that by giving you a heart transplant. Don't worry, the heart transplant was done willingly.”

”Heart transplant? Does it mean that my heart was replaced by someone else's?” Yi Meng asks.

”Yes,yes. So, you and some others went through surgery and your organs were transplanted accordingly. By this time, the strange organism had already destroyed many towns. Later, the organism was lured by the scientists and brought to an isolated place. You and some others were made to fight with that monster. In the end, it was defeated and you all survived. All was good, except for the fact that you had a few more years to live.”

”You mean that I only had few more years to live?”

”The drugs and the damage done by the monster gave you a certain disease. Time to time, you suffer from blinding headaches and choke up blood. Most of all, your organs get scrambled up. This is all because of the backlash of several drugs. Fortunately, you survived because of the new DNA in you. The others with you didn't have this problem. The strongest one aka you, had to suffer from such problems.”

”The scientists fled when the government came to know. A few years ago, the government established this organisation to catch all the B.As and the scientists. The ones in this organisation were the same children were victim to the Black List. These children nurtured a strong hate in their hearts for those people and all of them volunteered to serve life long in this organisation including you. We didn't want to recruit you all, but we noticed that this worked as a therapy. Slowly, you all managed to crawl out of depression. You were trained so well, that you could face any B.A even while sleeping. Later, the kids who were willing to kill, were trained to kill. One of them was you. You are one of the top assassins in BLVO. In the future, you said you wanted to continue as an assassin. The government was hesitant but they agreed. For the past six years, we have been eliminating B.As.”

”Hmm..Is that so.” mutters Yi Meng.

”Fine. I'll stay here, but don't expect me to work as an assassin for sometime.” She says.

The Chief nods his head. ”Of course. That's right. I forgot to mention that we were the ones that assigned you to the Yi family. They only know that you work at BLVO but they are unaware of its true goal. So, it's better if you don't tell them.”

”That's obvious. Tell me, is there any way for me to gain my memories?” Yi Meng asks. She hated being unable to understand what was going on.

The Chief was quiet for a while, before he answers ”There is a way. Hypnotism.”

”Then please, let's proceed.” Yi Meng says and gets up.

The Chief escorts her to a hypnotist.

When the session was over, Yi Meng sat there in shock.

The girl - Yi Lan, had a truly horrible past. Her memories were so painful that Yi Meng almost teared up.

As each memory surfaced, it hit Yi Meng's heart in waves. Yi Meng closed her eyes and kept in mind, the best day of Yi Lan's life. The day when she was with the people she had loved the most.

Another memory surfaced, one when Yi Lan was offered a heart from someone she loved. And when that person died in her arms.

Yi Meng took in a shaky breath. 'Yi Lan, you are one of the bravest people I have ever met. How you managed to survive all these years is a mystery.'

There were hardly any people who wouldn't become mentally challenged on seeing the people whom they loved the most, die in their arms.

Right now, the heart that beat in Yi Lan's body was the heart of one of her loved ones who had meant the world for her. For who's death Yi Lan still cursed herself. For whom Yi Lan was willing to kill all those who had killed her loved one.

Such great was Yi Lan's love for that person.

Except now, Yi Lan was no longer alive. In her place, was Yi Meng.

A sad smile rose on Yi Meng's face as she decides. 'Yi Lan, rest in peace. I swear I'll take revenge on your behalf. You deserve to rest in peace with your loved ones. I'll kill all those who had touched that person. Maybe in year or two, I'll join you after killing those bastards. Only have a few more years to live after all.”

Her eyes open and a killing intent stronger than Yi Lan's surfaced.
