BAD DAY

Part 2

Remy was in the meeting for most of the day, but since all that they could find out for sure, was that something was happening tonight, they thought it best to be ready. When he got to his room he found Anna asleep and in the same position he had left her in so many hours ago. He walked up closer to her and noticed that she was sweating profusely. He went over to the balcony and opened the doors, hoping for a breeze to make her feel better. But just as soon as he did, she started to stir.

"Chere, ya wake?"

"Mmhmm."

"Ya been sleepin' all this time?"

"Mmhmm. Whay, ya ready now?" She mumbled out as she sat up.

"Non, its almost dusk outside."

"Ya kiddin' meh right? There ain't no way Ah was that tired."

"'pparently so. Dem assassins comin' tonight, and after all dat talkin' it's all we know."

"Figures as much. Belle wanted ta ruin mah birthday."

"Anna, Remy don't think dat-"

"Right Remy, Ah forgot, ya still love her so it's pointless ta point out the fact that ya girlfriend hates ya wife."

"Y'okay?"

"Fahne." She growled out through her teeth.

"Ya sure chere, ya actin' a lil-"

"Ah said Ah'm fahne. Don't concern yahself with the likes of po' lil meh. Ah can handle mahself." And with that she got up off of the bed and went to the bathroom and took a shower. He knew something was wrong, she doesn't usually act like this, but it would have to wait until later. Right now, he had to protect her, their home, and family. He suited up in his thieving gear, which consisted of a black uniform, much like the black one Anna had and his trench coat. He gathered up a few packs of cards and his staff for weapons, just as Anna came out of the bathroom in her uniform and her hair tied back.

"Nobody said nuttin' 'bout ya having ta come chere. Dis ain't ya fight."

"Don't tell meh what ta do. It is mah fight, whay do ya think Ah chose ta join the guild sugah."

"But ya not a member yet."

"Don't matter none. Ya gonna need meh."

"Ya got any weapons, ya gonna need 'em."

"Of course Ah do. Ya think mah momma would send meh in here ta live with a bunch of thieves and a war and not give meh mah stuff. Please!" She walked to the closet and pulled out the suitcase and opened it once it was securely on the bed. She strapped on a loose belt around her hips and began to put various knifes and guns in it, along with her boots. Then she put together a rather large gun but kept that in hand. He starred at her in somewhat of a daze.

"You a regular assassin, non?" She looked up at him and smiled, and then pointed her gun at him as she cocked it back.

"There ain't nothin' regular 'bout meh sugah, ya should know that bah now." Then she lowered the weapon. "Ah'm ready."

"Tis a shame those assassins had ta pick today, wanted ta take ya out on de town."

"Maybeh anothah time Remy, tonights business." Then she walked past him and headed out.

ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE GROUNDS...

"Is everybody in place?"

"Oui."

"I don't want one of dem dirty thieves left alive. Dis my show, no exceptions."

"Oui Belle."

"Make sure I get the girl, or else whoever gets her instead of me's gonna pay dearly."

"Don't worry so much ma soeur. Everythin' ready and in place, dey don't even have a clue as to what's comin' fer dem."

"Bien." Then she smiled evilly.

Everyone just waited eagerly to get this over with. The thieves were hiding out inside the house trying desperately to make sure that the assassins didn't know that they knew they were coming. The battle did not begin until the sky was fully dark and all that was left were the twinkling stars. Belle did not lead the way, instead she made sure she was the last. She only had one mission, to hurt and then kill Anna. The grounds just looked like a battlefield as they all fought for their lives. The assassins were overpowering, but the thieves defended themselves rather well. Anna left Remy behind, even though he was constantly trying to back her up. He couldn't let anything happen to her. But she ran off looking for her battle, the reason this was like it was, Belle. She knew she was behind this, no matter what anybody else thought. She even went as far as searching in the trees calling out her name, but leaving a trail of bloody and dying assassins along the way. Not one of them stood a chance against her. She was on a mission, even though her emotions were getting the best of her, they were not ruining her fighting skills.

Just as she was about to give up her search, thinking that maybe Belle was a coward, she saw her. She was making her way to Remy. Her Remy. She fought her way back through the crowd, not caring who or what was in her way. She could feel her emotions going out of control. She thought she was on the verge of losing her mind, but that didn't matter. Anna had to get to Belle. Belle started to fight him, but it didn't look real. She was talking to him in the process. 'Come on Remy, just blow her up.' Just as she was getting closer to the two Belle reached up and kissed him. Anna was taken back by the gesture, she turned just to make sure that Anna had seen and then smiled evilly at her. That was her last draw. She tossed her gun down and then took off her blood soaked gloves. Anna had it set in her mind that she was going to take her down one on one. 'This is gonna beh fun.'

Then she finally made it to her and decked her right in front of Remy, then she pulled out a knife from her boot. She stormed over to Belle and dragged her up by her hair and put the knife to her throat. "Is dat da best ya got?"

"Anna don't, it's not worth it."

"Who says, you?" but it was too late, something weird happened. Belle had made an attempt to pull the knife away as Remy was trying to talk her out of it, and touched her bare hand. Everyone that was fighting stopped to look at the two women screaming the most blood-curtling screams anyone had ever heard. Anna dropped the knife and fell back as Belle went unconscious.

Remy went to Belle first trying to wake her up. Anna saw this, but could hardly do anything as she was still dealing with the memories. She struggled and didn't realize that she was still screaming when Remy reached for her. She clutched her head but caught him in time and jumped up and away from him as fast as she could in her state of mind. "Don't touch meh! Don't touch meh!" She kept screaming though. All she could hear in her head was, "He loves me, not you! You don't deserve him!" over and over. She thought she was losing her mind. Then the images weren't helping either, some of them were too much and she went for some of the weapons on her belt using them on anyone that got in her way. She ended up killing more of the assassins then the thieves had done the whole time. They left all their dead behind, except for Belle and went running home letting the thieves deal with her.
