“I do not fear pain or death, they come to us all; but I do not wish to rush to meet them either.” She understood, and she nodded very seriously. She had been noticed, her value now was in remaining worthy of that notice. There was more at stake than her own progress now. There would be pride and ego on the line, not her own of course but those who might tout her praises and have such influence on her career. She had no choice, she must succeed and do so brilliantly, and any other outcome meant death.
“You are not a distraction, you are inspiration. That I have become what I am is in working to make you proud. I want to feel worthy of you.” That was…a mistake. She said something she should not as it placed him at a level of importance he would rather not be at. But she would at all times be honest with him; even as he trained her in deception to him she could not lie.
“Give me orders; direct me and I will be as they want me to be. I promise you James, I will not fall short, I will strive until my last breath for perfection.” There it was, not a vow to her party or her program, but one to him, so much deeper and more meaningful. She was making a promise that she would fulfill every goal and exceed it. Natalia would be the brightest star in the night, because that was what he asked, it was what was necessary.
“You cannot weigh me down,” Her head tipped to the side with a curious look to him; brows furrowed and her lips quirked before she spoke again. “You do not see it, do you?” Her deceitfully delicate hands took his face; she leaned in close to speak again. “You cannot weigh me down because you have given me wings to soar.”
