Chapter Two: Telling the Truth
Normal P.O.V/ Location: Russia
That morning, before Voltaire left to go to the airport, he summoned his grandson to his study. When Voltaire heard a knock on the door, he looked up and drawled in a cold voice,
"Enter."
Kai opened the door, entered and closed it behind him. Then he walked over to his grandfather's desk. Instead of sitting down, he just stood there, looked at his grandfather and said,
"You wanted to speak with me?"
"I have the feeling that you don't like my decision about the new recruit."
Kai didn't reply.
"Well, she's arriving tonight, so I suggest that you get used to it."
Even though his grandson's face was blank, Voltaire could tell Kai was very displeased. Voltaire smirked.
"Think of it as a new assignment. You may go now, Grandson."
Kai remained silent as he left his grandfather's study. He stormed out into the forest and sat down, shading himself under a huge tree. As he leaned against the tree trunk, he thought furiously,
'Arriving tonight? Get used to it? New assignment?'
Kai growled. Then his eyes opened wide in realization.
'Wait a fucking minute, did he say she! Oh great, just great. I have to share my room with a friggen girl!'
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Earth…..
Normal P.O.V/ Location: Australia
A thirteen year old girl is in her room. She's in her high school uniform, light blue blouse and navy pants. She just finishes packing her books into her school bag when her dad sticks his head through the doorway.
"Rishka, Jacinta is here."
"Ok, bye Dad!"
Rishka bolted out of her room and out the front door to greet her friend.
"Hi Cindy! What's up?"
"Nothing much and you?"
"Same old, same old."
The two girls laughed as they walked up the road together. Rishka, who was more known to her friends as Rish, was about 157 cm tall. She had a curvy body and was a bit athletic. Rishka had dark brown hair, which gave off a copper-like glow when the light hit it. She had a small, delicate nose that was dotted with a tiny amount off freckles and full lips. But her best feature was her eyes. They were a deep brown with amber-coloured flecks.
Jacinta, who was more well known as Cindy was a little on the tubby side. She was wearing a polo top, navy of course with navy pants to match. She had dark brown hair that came halfway down her biceps with dark brown eyes to match.
The girls chatted about everything there was to talk about while they walked to school.
"Hey, you guys, wait up!"
The two friends stopped walking and turned to face the owner of the familiar voice. It was another member of their gang. Belinda, known as Bel, was crossing the road, jogging towards them.
Belinda was wearing a school blouse like Rishka's but instead of navy pants, she wore Mango jeans. Atop her maroon dyed hair sat a dark brown and tan coloured Billabong cap. Her eyes were a light blue colour that matched her blouse.
"Let me guess, bad hair day?" Rishka commented, gesturing to the cap.
"Who told you!" Belinda demanded sarcastically in a stupid voice.
"Ya mama!"
"Oh, shit! I mean, uh, damn!"
The three girls laughed as they crossed the overhead bridge that would lead them over the highway. After that, they would walk past the primary school and enter Lakes High, their school.
"So, ready to commence a 5 day death sentence?" Rishka asked her friends as they approached the high school.
"Do we have to?" Bel and Cindy asked in unison.
"Yeah, unless you guys wanna wag."
"Nah, I'll go for supple death, thanks."
"Nice."
"Hi guys!"
"Hey! What's new?"
"School sucks."
"I said, what's NEW!"
Seven girls laughed together as they walked together, heading towards the canteen. Apparently, as you would have guessed, 4 more members of the gang had arrived. These girls were Crystal, Leane, Zoe and Emily.
Crystal is Rishka's best friend, whom Rishka calls Crys. Crystal has dark sand-blonde hair and sea-green eyes. She was wearing her school blouse and navy talson sport shorts that stopped above her knee.
Leane is Emily's best friend. Her light hair with blonde streaks was pulled up into a ponytail. Her school uniform was identical to Rishka's.
Emily looks like Leane; they were often mistaken for sisters by those who didn't know them. Emily's uniform was identical to Krystal's. Her light brown hair was as long as Jacinta's and was the proud owner of a pair of electric blue eyes.
Zoe was wearing a uniform like Jacinta's. Her sun-kissed blonde hair was in a high ponytail. Zoe had a pair of sky blue eyes that always held a special twinkle. After Bel, Zoe, Emily and Leane made there lunch orders, the bell rang.
"Such perfect timing." Emily commented.
"Well, see you guys later!"
"Wait! Rishka, what do we have first?"
"English!" came the fast reply.
Rishka, Crystal and Emily walked to towards their rollcall room. Jacinta, Zoe and Belinda went the opposite way and up two flights of stairs to reach theirs. Leane walked ahead of them to reach hers. Soon, 1st period came and went. Then came 2nd, which was science. After that came a much wanted recess.
Rishka and Jacinta walked over to their favourite spot. A huge gum tree that was three meters or more away from the oval. Soon Emily, Belinda, Zoe and Crystal came to join them. Everyone greeted each other with 'Hey's' or 'Hi's'. Five minutes later Leane showed up.
"Hey peoples." she greeted them, tossing her bag down and collapsing on top of it.
"Hey, what took you so long?" Emily questioned.
"Miss Francis kept me in for detention."
"You never thought that 'act like a cow' would be in the job description, hey?" Rishka commented.
Leane scoffed. "Either that or it just comes to her naturally."
Kaylene's wisecrack was greeted by a fit of giggles.
In 3rd period, which was Maths, Rishka got a note from the office.
"Lucky you!" Jacinta whispered as Rishka packed her bag to go to the office.
Rishka smiled at her friend before leaving.
'I wonder what it's about.' Rishka thought as she entered the office.
The first person she saw was her dad.
"Hi Dad, what's up?"
"No time to talk now. I'll explain everything to you when we get home."
"Uh, ok, Dad." Rishka said quietly.
Rishka said nothing as her dad drove them home.
"Ok, now that we're home, what's going on?" Rishka asked her dad.
Her dad sighed and rubbed his temple. "Rishka, I don't know how to tell you this, but, you don't belong to me."
"What do you mean? What are you talking about? Of course I belong to you, I'm your daughter aren't I?"
"Rishka, please, it's hard to explain. Let's go inside the house."
When they got inside their house, Rishka put her bag in her room and went to join her father in the living room. She sat next to him on the couch. Her dad held a piece of paper in his hand.
"What's that?" Rishka asked him.
"It's a contract I signed 13 years ago."
"What about it?"
"You see, 13 years ago, I landed myself in a sticky situation. An old family friend offered to help me on one condition."
"Which was?"
"That I give them my child."
"What?"
"Oh, Rishka, it's a shock, I know. But you have to understand, I wasn't thinking straight. It was only when the mess had been cleaned up that I realized that I had signed your life away. We, your mother and I were supposed to hand you over the moment you were born. But we fell in love with you when we saw you, we couldn't give you up. When you were 3, they demanded us to hand you over, but your mother refused, so they killed her. Before they did, she made me promise her to protect you. So I moved the both of us to Australia."
"So that's why I had all those nightmares about men bursting out of nowhere, firing bullets at Mum and killing her?"
"Yes."
"Where did we used to live before?"
"Russia."
By now, Rishka's face had turned a deathly pale.
"I'm so sorry that it has to be this way, Rishka. But there's no changing the contract."
"So, where do I go now?"
"Pack your bag; you're going back to Russia."
"Ok, can I read the contract?"
Her father handed it to her. Rishka read it as she walked up the stairs towards her bedroom.
'Ok, so basically it just says that I'm going to be a puppet in a place called Balkov Abbey. For life. And it's run by two men named Voltaire and Boris. They must be the guys that killed Mum.'
Rishka put the contract on her desk then pulled out a medium sized duffel bag out of her closet. Rishka began to pull clothes out of drawers and whatnot. She packed carefully some PJ's, clothes, jacket, shoes, pens, paper, envelopes, hairbrush, hair ties, batteries, alarm clock, Discman, CD's and her photo album. Before Rishka put the album in the duffel, she looked at the photos inside.
They mostly were of her friends and family. When she came across a photo of her dad, Rishka growled and pulled it out. Unknown to her, there was another photo behind it, one she hadn't seen before. It was a picture of a woman in her mid-twenties. She had glowing copper hair and amber-coloured eyes. Rishka stared in awe. Her mother was beautiful.
Rishka shook her head to clear it and put the album in her bag and zipped it closed. Then she changed her clothes.
Rishka put on a fitted black t-shirt that said in white print, 'Sorry, if I look interested, I'm not.' And her favourite baggy jeans. To top off her outfit, Rishka added her favourite blood-red belt with thousands of holes punchered into it and blood-red wrist cuffs to match.
"Rishka, Voltaire has arrived."
'He must be the guy escorting me to Russia.' Rishka thought.
Rishka put on her flat-soled black leather boots with silver belt buckles on the sides. They came halfway up her calves, but you couldn't really tell because her jeans came down to her ankles. Rishka grabbed her duffel and looked at her room one last time before heading downstairs into the living room.
"Rishka, this is Voltaire." Her dad introduced her to the violet-eyed man.
Rishka felt chills run down her spine. This was one of the men in her nightmares that killed her mother.
"Pleased to meet your acquaintance Miss Saki." Voltaire drawled.
'Pleased to meet me? Pleased to meet me! God, this guy must be some sort of sicko. Pleased to meet the girl he made motherless.'
Rishka kept her face blank and gave him a curt nod.
"We have to go now; I have no time to waste." Voltaire said, heading out the door.
"Bye Dad. I love you." Rishka said, hugging her dad for the last time.
"Good bye Rishka. I'll miss you every day." Her father replied, hugging her tightly.
Then Rishka let go of her father, picked up her duffel and walked out the door, shutting it behind her.
In the taxi on the way to Sydney airport, Rishka looked at her little suburb of Lakes that she once thought was home. But Russia would be her home now. It always had been. Nothing could change that.
Alright, I'm done. You review, I'm happy. And you get more entertainment. So, how was that? Good or shit? Let me know! Please review!
