Old Memories,And no Hard Feelings
Nekosune- Thanks for reviewing. I'll be able to update because I already have a few chapters written, I had this one on my dad's computer, but he got a virus and Microsoft document wouldn't work, he fixed his computer and reinstalled Microsoft word, but he didn't tell me till recently. Now I have to correct somethings on the next couple of chapters but I'll be updating as soon and often as possible.
In other notes, I would like to let you all know that Blaine's name means thin or lean. It's an Irish name.
-Dream/ Flash Back-
An older woman in a habit smiles down at a young black haired girl with bright green eye's. The young girl smiles up at the woman, taking the girls hand, the nun pulls her along. The little girl giggles and smooths down her ice blue summer dress with her free hand. The nun smiles "Do you want to go see Father Liam child?" (Liam is an Irish name meaning Unwavering Protector, a lot of the names in this story are going to be Irish).
The youths eye's widen and she begins to nod vigorously "Yes Sister Calm (Kuhl- uhm, it means Dove of the Church)." (or as my sister said when she read it, Dove off the church, spelling may be wrong but meaning she jumped off the church intentionally). She replies. The nun laughs and leads the girl to the head of the church.
The girl runs ahead, slamming open the doors to the back office of the young priest, she throws her arms around the handsome priests waist. "Liam!" she shouts happily. He looks down at her his short wavy blonde hair falling into his crystal blue eye's. He laughs bending slightly he picks her up under the arms and swings her about then pulls her into a hug.
Liam smiles holding her tightly to himself "How's my favorite little girl?" She giggles in his arms "I'm fine Father Liam." She hugs him tightly around the neck. A small blue haired boy pulls at the hem of her dress, his green eye's happy and filled with delight. She smiles "Yes Raegon?" (Little King). He giggles "There are people here to see you in the head mistress' front office."
The girl blinks and slips out of Liam's arms, she heads to the front of the church and opens a door leading into the front office. Her eye's land on a young married couple, a scowling business man, and a beautiful smiling young woman. The girl shrinks back. The head mistress smiles "Blaine, this young couple is gracious enough to want to adopt, his name is Cormac (Defile) and her name is Piran (Prayer), what do you say about packing up your things and giving them a chance, they have a daughter your age named Cass (Curly) so you'll have a playmate about your own age, so how does that sound?"
The girl nods and heads off. Father Liam smiles, happy for me, but his smile falters as I don't look at him. I go up to my room and pack what little I own and head out to the limo waiting for me, without saying good bye. They were painful, I didn't like them. I sigh and look out the window as Piran prattles on about her 'New Home'. She glances at Cormac, he seemed to be pointedly ignoring her, so she pointedly ignored them both. Ireland was her home, as long as they didn't make her leave she was happy.
-Flash back change-
The girl, now a little older sits in a chair in the large back yard. It was her birthday party, she was turning twelve. She glances around only to see a bunch of people she doesn't know milling about. She hated Cormac and his snotty little brat, Piran she could tolerate but not those two. Cass approaches her "So... ready to join your whoring mother in hell, you slut?"
The girls eye's widen out of blind fury. Her hand flies out grabbing a butter knife and slamming it down on Cass' hand pinning it to the table. Cass screams loudly attracting a lot of attention. I run, scared, into the house and up the stairs to my room. I change into a pair of thick dark blue jeans and a black sweater. I flee from the house. I had stabbed Cass. The thought made my skin crawl and my heart beat like crazy. I ran until my lungs burned and my legs ached with exhaustion. I stopped and slumped onto the cold wet side walk. I blink, 'when had it begun to rain?' I began to cry, I finally realized something, I could kill, in cold blood.
-End Dream/ Flash Back-
I fly up in bed, my breathing heavy. 'Why that dream of all of them?' I pull back the duvet and head into the kitchen filling a glass with water. I hear my roommate and her boyfriend start up another round of the horizontal tango. I roll my eye's and head into the living room, I sit on the couch turning on the Tv and muting it. The clock read 9 AM.
About 2 hours later Lyla's new boyfriend comes out of the room wearing his jeans. He comes over and sits on the other end of the couch. I look over him out of the corner of my eye assessing him. I frown lightly when I realize I recognize him from somewhere. It finally hit's me, he was one of the other orphan's at the church. "Dallas?" I ask. (Dallas means Wise) His head snaps around and his eye's narrow "How the hell do you know my name, I know Lyla didn't tell you." I smirk "My name is Blaine, remember back at the church when we were 8."
-Flash Back-
Blaine stands, holding the hand of an 8 year old boy, with brown hair and bright greene eye's. He turns to look at her, he blushes and looks back out over the lake. Soon another boy appears, running towards them. Dallas pulls his hand away. Blaine scowls at Dallas but then turns to smile at little Raegon. She hugs him and looks over his shoulder to spot Sister Colm and Father Liam also coming that way. She takes a step back, the land giving way under her foot, she falls into the lake. It was deep here, and she didn't know how to swim, so she went under and stayed under.
Father Liam and Sister Colm hurry towards the lake. Dallas' eye's widen and he dives in after her, quickly grabbing her hand he pulls her to the surface. For the rest of the year, he had taken her back to the lake to teach her how to swim, she could swim, but had developed a fear of water.
-End Flash Back-
I smile "I can swim pretty good, thanks to you, but I still fear water." He grins "Long time no see, last I heard, you just ran away from the people that adopted you." I look away "I stabbed there daughter through the hand with a butter knife, pinning it to a table, it scared the shit out of me, so I ran." I look back at the Tv.
My roommate groggily walks out "What are you two doing, getting comfy? Last I checked, you never liked the guys I brought home." I nod "But none of them were old friends from the church." she nods "Oh."I stand and stretch, looking at the clock, 11:30 AM. I sigh "I gotta get ready for work, c-ya around Dallas." He turns "What do you do?" I grin "I've always wanted to say this, but if I told you, I would have to kill you, quite literally, anyway, i'm a secretary for the vice-president at the Corswater Foundation."
I go and change into a beautiful black dress that stops at mid-thigh but slopes on the left side to about mid-calf. Black gloves that go a bit past the elbow. A silver bracelet with diamonds around the right wrist. A dazzling silver necklace with diamons almost an inch long embeded in it.I put very little make-up on. I pull my hair back into a pony-tail, the hair curls about. One small curl falls along the right side of her face. She steps out of the room.
"So how do I look?" Dallas blinks "For being a secretary, you sure do dress pretty." I laugh "I was invited toa party by my boss, gotta go catch my limo, I have some personal business to take care of." I walk out the door, adding an extra sway to my hips.
I approach the limo.Jeff opens the limo door, a secretive smile on his face "Looking good, sure you wanna go to this thing?" I sneer at him, climbing into the limo, "Just shut up and give me my gun." He grumbles and slips them to me. I strap the holster to my upper left thigh putting the gun into the holster. Jeff closes the door, grumbling, and climbs into the drivers seat. We arrive at our destination and Jeff elegantly helps me from te car, slipping the invitation into my hand. I walk up the large marble staircase. Presenting the man there with the invite. He smiels and moves, opening the door for me.
It was Cass' 16th birthday party. I was still 15 butturning 16 soon.I was here for one thing, to kill Cormac, he had dirty business with theCorswater Foundation. I was going to give Cass awondeful birthday present. I hand the box Gratefully to a man offering to put it on the table for the many present's that the guests bring.
I give a seductive, thankful smile and sashay over to a table. Soon enough as I predicted, he joins me at my table "Can I get you a drink Ms.?" I smile slightly "I'm under age, but if you insist." If anything, his smile grows. When he comes back, he has two, very alcoholicdrinks. He sits across from me "What's apretty girl, so young too, doing at a party like this?" I give another seductive look and a slow wink"I'm here to kill." He chuckles thinking I meant with my looks.
Then he asks "So are you a friend of Cass'?" I shake my head "I'm a part of the family, I'm here to apologize for something I did a few years back." He nods. 'And something I'm about to do.' I think as we continue to chat. I finally excuse myself as Cass begins to open presents. I smile at Piran and mouth 'I'm sorry.' at her before looking at Cass as she begins to open my present. She holds the frame, it was a picture taken back when we were 10, a christmas photo, of all of us. A note falls into her lap. She places the frame down and picks up the note reading.
'I'm sorry.'
Piran's head snaps up to, to see me walking off through the crowd. I walk up onto the second floor. I pull my gun aiming, Cormac looks up at me and I shoot. Hitting him right between the eye's. I run out onto the balcony, jumping over the veranda, rolling to my feet I rush to the black mustang waiting for me. I jump in. "Let's go Jeff, Mission complete." He nods and skids out of the brush and onto the main highway.
I look back with sad eye's.
-Flash Back-
I hold my knee's to my chest as I cry. I was lost and lonely in a dirty alley way. "Hey Kid!" I look up, whipping away my tears. He smiles "You can cry if you want, I won't think your weak, so what's your name Lassy?" I stand patting the dirt from my jeans "I'm Blaine, you?" He gives me a comforting smile "My name is Dooley." (Means Dark Hero)
I blink and lean on the wall of the alley. Dooley sighs "Why don't you come along, bathe and eat,change your clothes." I nod. He takes my hand "Come along Lassy."
-End Flash Back-
Jeff is turned in his seat, the car is turned off, he looks concerned "You alright?" I nod and climb out of the car. "Hey kid, you wanna go out to lunch?" He calls after me. I smile thankfully, I didn't want to be alone. I climb into the car next to him "Thanks Jeff." He smiles, starting the car "No problem Kid."
