Chapter. 30

The alarm next to Vincent's bed blared loudly, Vincent rocked his head back and forth to wake up. He felt a weight on his side and when he opened his eyes he saw Rebecca's arm grab his alarm clock the throw it across the room, shattering it. The arm gently came down on Vincent's chest.

Vincent brushed Rebecca's hair with his free hand. "Hey Reby. Come on, time to get up."

"No." Rebecca pressed her body against him.

"It's Monday, we got school again."

"Okay..." Rebecca pushed herself up and looked around with hair covering her half closed eyes.

Vincent sat up then pushed some hair out of the way. "Half asleep with bed hair, a Reby only I get to see." Vincent leaned forward and kissed her. "Let me grab some clothes the the room is yours." Vincent jumped out of bed and pulled off his shirt before opening his dresser. With clothes in hand Vincent went to the bathroom.

After breakfast the jumped onto the motorcycle then drove to the school, Rebecca wrapping herself around Vincent's arm as they went in. Went they were close to the doors they burst open with Corina, Lyle and Levi running at them.

"Coco!" Rebecca let go of Vincent and hugged Corina. "Guess what!?"

"Where have you two been? We got trouble!"

"Trouble?"

"The ruby legion attacked over the weekend. They took four zones!"

Lyle noticed Vincent tighten his fist. "You know of this?"

"No, we were gone for the weekend."

"You didn't see our calls or messages?"

"I turned off my linker. Didn't see them till last night and thought to bring them up on Monday." Vincent glanced to Levi. "You go here too?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?"

Rebecca held out her hand to Levi. "Hello. I'm Rebecca."

Levi looked Rebecca up and down. "So you're the one who's been making Catherine froff at the mouth." Levi took a hold of Rebecca's hand. "I'm Levi. Thank you."

"Thank you, for what?"

"For letting me see that brat's real face." Levi glanced at Vincent. "Jade wants to see you after school."

Rebecca turns to Vincent. "Who's Jade?"

"The opal leader." Vincent groaned. "I'll see what she wants. Come on, class is going to start."

As they went inside Rebecca held onto Vincent once again. She saw Corina grinning at Rebecca so she grinned back. "Oh yeah I wanted to tell you all. We can go into the detail at lunch but, Vincent and I are officially a couple."

"I knew it would happen!" Corina clapped her hands. "I'm so happy for you two!"

Levi shrugged at the news. "Whatever makes you happy."

Lyle pats Vincent on the head, ruffling his hair. Vincent looks to Lyle with a wide smile.

Unknown to the group Catherine overheard them from around a corner, snapping a pen in half with one hand.

Levi left the group to find her class, Rebecca let go of Vincent and walked with Corina to their own, leaving Vincent and Lyle to enter theirs. A few minutes had past when the door opened and Catherine walked in.

Vincent braced himself but Catherine kept quiet, not even look at him. "Guess she got the hint finally." Vincent sighed in relief as he started up his linker for the day.

...

School was over and Vincent took Rebecca back to his house so she could retrieve her belongings then took her back to her home. Rebecca climbed off the bike. "You sure I can't come?"

"It's just a meeting with the leader, nothing important. I'll be back in a bit and tell you about it. Trust me, it's not something you want to be around for."

"Okay..."

Rebecca lowered her head and Vincent raised it back up and kissed her. "I'll be back in a bit Reby." Vincent revved his bike and drove away.

Rebecca felt alone as Vincent sped away. She could feel that he was hiding something. Rebecca unlocked her front door and stepped inside.

...

Vincent rolled up to the library, climbing off the bike he walked into the building, going straight for the back room. He opened the door to find everyone already there and Jade jumped from her seat. "Where the hell were you?!"

"Taking care of something. So what's up?"

"I mean over the weekend!"

"You didn't say that at the start."

"The ruby legion invaded! That's what happened! Where were you?!"

Vincent looked to everyone. "No one said anything? I was gone for the weekend."

"I didn't give you permission to leave."

"Since when did what I do need your approval."

"Since you joined the opal legion."

Catherine laughed. "Vincent just tell everyone what happened. Tell them you attacked the ruby legion."

Everyone looked to Vincent. "Because of what you did."

"You do what?! Attacked the ruby?!" Jade shouted at Vincent.

"That's not what was meant to happen. The leader attacked me."

"But you did start it." Stated Catherine.

"Well yeah but-"

Jade slapped Vincent across the face. "Are you trying to destroy this legion?! You've been nothing but trouble since Catherine brought you in!"

Catherine sat up as she watched with glee. Vincent remained motionless as he stared back at Jade. "That speaks more on your sense of judgement. Also I didn't mean to attack them I just wanted to talk to its leader."

"Why?" Asked Levi.

"To ask if he could let Reby out of the legion." Vincent glared at Catherine. "The legion Catherine made her join."

"I don't care why you did it. We lost four zones. FOUR! Because of you!"

"Alright!" Vincent threw up his hands. "Alright, I get it. I screwed up, but I had a reason for what I did. What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to fix this mess you made! How the hell did you even find the ruby leader?"

"I just went to the ruby area, fought some people till someone gave up the avatar name."

"So much work for this Reby. Who is she?"

"My child... And girlfriend."

"Ahh." Corina sighed with her hands on her heart. Levi noticed Catherine dragging her nails on the sofa arm.

Jade groaned. "Whatever your reason is you still put the legion in danger. Now we need to take control of the emerald legion fast. I expect you to be on the front lines fighting for every inch we get."

"Fine."

"No! Not fine! The opal is up in panic now! You took two legions, you started this war prematurely. Now you're gonna fix this, Mr. Hero."

Vincent shrugged. "Anything else?"

Jade rolled her eyes. "Everyone but Catherine. Leave." Once the room emptied out Jade spun around to Catherine with her arms crossed. "Care to explain Teal?"

"Are you questioning me now?"

"As a leader yes."

"I wanted to see something."

"I told you to find his child and bring her to me, not send her to the enemy!"

"It's fine."

"How is this fine?"

Catherine raised her arms to stretch. "You wanted a warrior, a monster, a demon. I'll get you one, you just need to trust me."

"That trust is wearing thin Catherine. I want results. Vincent may have kicked the hornets nest but you're the one who put it in his way."

Catherine stood up and walked to the door. "I'll get your results, trust me. I just need a bit of time." Out in the hall Catherine began typing out a message.

...

Outside the library Vincent pushed the doors open with everyone following behind. "Well that was something."

"So you attacked a whole legion, just for Rebecca." Levi crossed her arms as she stood in front of Vincent.

"I just wanted to talk, they attacked me each time. If I have to physical then I will."

Corina stood beside Lyle, rubbing his back. "I think it's sweet. Throwing yourself into the fire for the one you love."

"What you did was reckless, but... I can't judge, as I'd do the same." Said Lyle.

Vincent nods. "Thank you, really I mean it."

Levi shook her head. "Still you made a lot of problems for us. The ruby came at us full force."

"How bad was it?" Vincent felt the moon turn grim till Corina spoke up.

"Bad."
