I don't own anything!
Chapter 7- Meet the Mob Boss
"What so you mean by 'especially if they are the parents of the subjects'?" Janine almost shouted. "I want to see my daughter. I don't know what you Moroi think that you are playing at putting our best fighters in there to play when we need them out here."
"I am sorry. The most I can do is show you whats going on in the Maze."
"Show me." Janine demanded.
Lissa leads Janine into the control room and pulls up some of the footage of me, the fifteen minute video of me fighting Dimitri. I hear a gasp that comes from Janine.
"She defeated him in fifteen minutes? That is better than most of the novices in the Academy. My daughter has defiantly surpassed her mentor." Janine turns to go. "Oh, by the way…"
I groan frustrated, what did my mother say. Looking around I see that Gally is looking at me.
"What do you want you shank!?" I say. "I'm a little busy trying to figure out what's going on here!"
"Looked more like you weren't doing anything to me, but hey that's just me. Most here say I'm crazy anyway." He grins at me.
"Unlike some around here I am trying to figure out what the shuck is going on. I was meditating to see if I could remember anything."
"Funny, cause you tend to run to meditate it seems…" I glare at him.
"What is your real reason for being here?" I grind out.
"Newt's Banishing is tonight as the doors close. Thought you might wanna know."
With that he walked away, leaving me to ponder over his words. Just as I was about to get up Dimitri came and tackled me. he almost pinned me but instead, I flipped us.
"Well, if I didn't know better, I would say that you have some sort of feelings for me." I say smugly, "And the way that you keep finding me alone could lead the others to think stuff."
He smiles and flips me onto my back, "You think that you know so much, dear Rose. When in reality you know very little." I buck my hips trying to get some room to maneuver my body in hopes to flip us back over.
That doesn't work. "I heard that Newt's Banishing is tonight. Is it true?" I ask in hope of distraction. It works enough for me to flip him on his back and get up.
"Yes, it is and you don't have to be there if you don't want to be." He responds gripping my ankle and pulled knocking the wind out of me as I landed on my back. "You do however need to be given payback for the other day. That kind of attack doesn't go without revenge." He smiles and tries to pin my arms.
"I get that now," I brought my knee up to his stomach forcing him to loosen his grip on my arms. "Now, your attack is one that I saw coming anyway, I was ready. You know," flipping us back over using my foot I pinned one of his arms, "your technique could use some work. It hasn't changed much from before. I can help you there."
We both knew that I had just one this little grappling. As the adrenaline left my body, I became hyper aware of how close we were. I was straddling him sitting on his chest breathing hard, covered in sweat and dirt. He wasn't much better than me when it came to cleanliness.
"You won, again." He said sounding slightly disappointed.
"What? Let me guess you were hoping I'd go easier on you. Well too bad cause im never gonna go easy on you." I giggle, "You are quite the funny one aren't you?"
Looking into his eyes I can get lost, I jump when I feel his hands on my hips. As I start to get up, he flips us over so that he is hovering above me. I was about to say something when I got sucked back into Lissa's head.
There was a man dressed in flashy clothes, suit, tie, and a scarf. In his ears were little gold hoops. Mob Boss. I thought to myself.
I was pulled back to reality by a blaring alarm sounding. Dimitri looked worried as he looked at the Maze doors closest to us as a guy not much older than me stumbled out of the Maze. He looked like he had just come in from a party. Clothes wrinkled and torn and stumbling drunkenly. Adrian.
