I am so sorry it as took so long for an update everyone. I will try to have more chapters soon posted. I would love to finish this story this month. I have been scheduled for carpal tunal surgery at the end of the month and won't be able to post anything until I am allowed to type again by doctors orders. Without further adieu per everyone's request what happened on the plane ride back to the estate.
The plane ride in Mia's pov
Every day since Rose's rebirth she had become stronger than what she was before she left. Lost was no longer her mindset. It was amazing in truth that the broken warrior was gone and had been replaced. Now before me she has risen from the ashes like a phoenix standing bold and proud as though her soul had never faltered. I sat there thinking as Rose went to talk to the pilots. Rose sat back down and closed her eyes she, appeared to be sleeping.
After asn hour or so her body seems to be relaxed until the word strigoi was said. I saw her tense up when the guardian across the aisle brazenly spoke out of turn. "...I can't wait to kill some strigoi. The sooner the better and..." in a speed I never seen Rose use before she was out of her seat. She grabbed the portentous guardian by the front of his clothes and had him thrown up against a wall in the plane. Other guardians started to get out of their seats when the queen raised her hand staying their movements.
Rose had a knife blade out and pressed harshly against the rash speaking guardian's throat. "Dead. That is what you'll be. No grand numbers of dead strigoi to be numbered on the back of your neck. War is nothing good to brag on or to get excited about. War is what gets good people dead when they act invincible. No one is that you pompous arrogant snot not even you." With that being said she pulled off of him. She then turned her back to him as she sheathed her knife into the place on her hip. He stared at Rose as she stood in the aisle. He started to grab her by her shoulder when she elbowed him right into the nose then quickly dropped to the floor swiping the legs out from under the guardian making him land on his back. Sure was a sight to see. Rose's eyes blazed with fury when she walked over to the guardian. She placed her foot on his throat growling low in her throat. " I'm only going to tell you this one more time. Glory hungry hound dogs like you always die first. How many people that die be side them depends on how many are stupid enough to believe like them. Now get you ass of the floor and into your seat. I better not hear another word out of your mouth. If I do then you and I will have a private training session the next day got it?" Not waiting for a reply she left the front of the plane and went to the bathroom.
I couldn't help but snicker about Rose's new attitude. Yet it worries me about all the horrors she had encountered. The scars must run deeper than she lets on. But it is her move to talk about it. Forcing someone to talk is never good. When she came back she stood in front of the plane and looked at everyone. Then she started to speak. " When we land we will be on private property. Your main objective its to protect the queen. There are areas you may not enter and you may not leave the estate at this time. I understand we left in a hurry. Whatever supplies you need write them down and I will make sure you get them."
She said her piece much to the chagrin of some of the grumble of some of the guardians. Queen. Tatiana smiled graciously at the way Rose had put the glory hound down. Eddie just snickered at the way Rose snorted towards some of the other guardians then became solemn the both of us had. I started to thinking about the way the other guardian was talking. One name came to my mind. Mason. The time we sneaked away on the trip that caused Mason's death. Then it hit me. Rose was thinking of how we had talked and it did sound like this guy. She must of been thinking of Mason when she snapped.
Time flew by and most of us slept the entire flight. About thirty minutes before we landed Rose began getting restless. The shadows had grew around the plane making some of the guardians get on edge so to speak. Then her eyes flew open and she went to the cock pit. She came back more calm than before and walked to where the Queen laid sleeping. I saw her gently wake and assist the still sleepy Queen back to her seat and fastened her belt. "We should be landing in a few moments folks, buckle up we are in for a rough landing." I looked to Eddie and he snickered a little at my concern. He shook his head gently as he raised my hand to his lips and kissed it like a gentleman should.
After de boarding the plane, we had a few moments to rest while Rose went into the house for a moment. She came out accompanied by her mother, father, and another girl about our age yet she looked familiar. "Everyone, this is Abe Mazur, Guardian Janine Hathaway and Novice Guardian Viktoria Belikov. While you are here in this estate you will be under the protection of a strigoi lady by the name of Katya Wilhelmina. While you are here please pay close and careful attention to the places you can and can not go. You will also have access to a training room that is close to your living quarters. Do not and I repeat do not try to kill the two strigoi here in the estate. They have personal feeders that are paid like they are at the Moroi royal court. If you encounter them greet them be polite but nothing more. They are Princess Wildcat's personal protection. Any harm or insult to them would be a insult and harm to our host. I have met the woman and she is not the one to make angry. To help the Moroi royal court she is personally seeing to the queen's protection. You will be shown a tour of the estate that is open to you all to freely move about and a schedule on when meals are. I ask that all of you confer with Guardian Hathaway on your work schedule and with Novice Guardian Belikov about your off times. There are no wait staff or cook staff. Everyone on the estate takes their turn of doing either cooking, cleaning or guarding. Guardian Hathaway is in charge of the estate guarding scheduling so you will check in with her. Novice Guardian Belikov with bee in charge of the rest of the rotations for cooking and cleaning. You will report to me later on to be placed on the training rotation and receive your access code into the facility. But for now I believe Mrs. Belikov and her family has prepared you a very delicious home cooked meal that is hot and ready for you all. Please be respectful and thank them after you eat. Her cooking is some of the best and you won't find anything as delicious at court. Now if you will follow us in and eat, rest and we will conference with each other in the morning. Is there any questions?"
I looked around curiously as to see who it was that decided to ask. I did a face palm when I realized it was the idiot on the plane. Really? Is the man asking for more ass kicking or is he really that damn stupid. Well if he wants to be this stupid I can see the rest of the guardians are going to let him commit suicide. "Why should we listen to a damn lying traitorous bitch like yourself? You are going to just stand there and expect all of us to believe you have three strigoi on the estate that is not a threat? You are a complete fool to think we would fall for this. Look at you. Your probably a strigoi lover leading us into a trap..." Faster than a cat licking its fur, Rose had the numbskull by the throat again. She picked him and choke slammed him into the ground with ease. The man had towered over her at least a full head but that didn't stop her. She was beyond angry and was letting it fuel her in a way was not much of us seen her do in training. With a few grappling moves and she had him begging for mercy. With a low growling coming deep from her throat she threatened him. "Insult me AGAIN AND ITS TO THE MATS YOU SORRY BASTARD! I will kick your ass to the beginning and the end of creation do you understand me!" When he nodded it was hard to see. She had his head locked in her legs and one of his arms stretched out and it looked like a form of a scissor lock. She grimaced in disgust and walked off. Abe was trying to hard to not smile and Viktoria was smiling.
"Well if everyone will, please follow me and I'll show you to your rooms." Abe snickered as Vika led the way. She showed the guardians to their rooms. Guardian Hathaway showed the Royals where they were staying. After a bit we all had freshened up and was shown to the dinning area. Rose was no where to be seen. Janine said she already ate, sent her apologizes and gone to bed. I thought it was weird but didn't say much more. The estate was beautiful. I wondered off a bit from the rest of the tour. Sure enough I heard Roses' type of music playing loud but not to the extreme.
I heard her voice and saw her fighting with what looked like Tasha Ozera. Not wanting to bother them I started to turn around and leave when I saw a very much alive Dimitri Belikov. Not thinking twiced I slapped him across the face hard, then kneed him in the groin. "What was that for?" he whined.
"For all the heart break and hell you put Rose through you bastard." Before he uttered anything I turned around found my room and went to bed.
