Allies or Enemies ?

"I'm glad to meet you."was all that Helena could say."Shall we ?"said Mercury and showed to the table.They sat and started to eat.During the lunch Mercury questioned Helena about her likes and dislikes.When they finished he asked her"So did you pack your things ?"

"Excuse me ?!"she answered.

"Nell hasn't told you yet ?"

"She hasn't told me what ?"

"That you're moving in today."

"She hasn't told me exact time."Helena glared at her mother.Her mother glared back. To get herself out of unpleasant situation she said"We have to go to pack her things.Good bye Dad."and then she left the mansion.

When they entered in their hotel room Helena's mother congratulated Helena for her good behavior and she packed Helena's things in a blue suitcase.Then she took a walk on the beach with Helena.During the walk mother and daughter really talked about this surprise.

"I am sorry for this."started her mom sadly.

"For what ?"asked Helena.

"For this whole situation.I've dragged you into this."answered her mom.

"Sometimes sorry is not enough.But don't worry for me I'll be okay.Worry for Dad."

"You will have to call us twice a day or he will be in Greece before you know it."

"Anyway why are you leaving me with him today ?"

"I am going back home tonight."

"Another thing you haven't told me about."said Helena sharply and glared at her mother.

"I am sorry.Can I do anything to make you fell better ?"asked Helena's mom.

"Yeah,you could try to make me laugh."answered Helena.

"No,I think I will use traditional methods."she had a mischievous smile on her face."I know that you like unusual things so I bought you this."she gave one small box to Helena.

Helena opened the box and there she found the most beautiful piece of jewelry that she has ever seen.It was a necklace from onyx with a silver medallion in shape of a triangle.All that Helena could say is"Like wow…Thank you mom."Her mom smiled,Helena haven't smiled back.

She left her in that horrible house.The butler took her suitcase and they went upstairs.He introduced himself"My name is Charles Miss Helena.Don't worry everything will be alright.Your grandfather is a good man."he had british accent so Helena had to ask"Are you from Britain ?""Yes I am"he answered with a smile.When they were on 4th floor he left her in her new room."Well,it's a good thing that I was honest about my favorite colors."she said to herself.And it was a good thing indeed.It was a big room and it had bathroom and a balcony.In her room she were TV,computer,video and radio.The furniture was from ebony and details were grey and purple.She had one huge closet,small desk, baldachin,few chairs and one huge book shelf filed with books about languages.When she unpacked her suitcase she moved the bitchip.She put in a medallion and then she put the necklace around her neck. It fit perfectly.Then Mercury came in."Helena,we have to talk."he started seriously."And I want the truth."

"The truth ?"Helena laughed."You're not gonna like it.But okay this is the truth.I do not want to be here,I didn't want to meet you and…That's that."she felt better when she finished.

"Just that ?You said that you didn't want to meet me.Why ?"

"Where were you?"

"What ?"

"Where have you been since my mother's 10th birthday ?Where were you when I was celebrating my birthdays ?

When I went to kindergarden ? I'll tell you where were you!You were here sitting on your a…"She stopped because she almost swore."You were not acting like my mother's father should be acting."

"I got the point.It wouldn't kill you to call me grandfather,"

"It would."

"I don't want to see you dead so call me Mercury."

"Are you serious ?"She looked into his emerald green eyes and said"You are serious."

"So are we friends ?"He asked.

"Yes, we are."She answered and smiled.He smiled back and said"It's late go to sleep."And then he left.Helena actually took his advice and went to sleep.

"Wake up sleepyhead!"Said the blonde woman.She had british accent and she was dressed as Mary Poppins. "Breakfast is on the table.Eat fast we don't have much time."

"What's going on ?"murmured Helena.

"Nothing to worry about.Anyway I'm Elizabeth I'm your…"

"Babysitter."Helena started to dress.

"Nanny."Elizabeth corrected her.

"Are you and Charlie related ?"asked Helena.She finished with dressing and Elizabeth led her to the dinning room which was on 2nd floor."It's Charles not Charlie and yes,we are related.He is my father."Elizabeth corrected her again.Helena finished breakfast as fast as she could.Then Elizabeth led her to the limo.

They were there and Helena had that strange feeling that her heart was pure ice.Sure, she was annoyed but not by that feeling.She was annoyed by Mercury and Elizabeth.She wanted to annoy them but Mercury would just smiled and Elizabeth was so calm that that was impossible.But how could they do that to her,how could they take her to the stylist.One old lady questioned her about her likes and dislikes in clothing and then she called a girl named Shirley."She's all yours."she said."Okay.Follow me."ordered Shirley.Helena followed her.Shirley was a goth and Helena was pleased by that fact."Let me guess you told my boss that you hate skirts,make up and similar crap."said Shirley matter-of-factly.Helena nodded."Your hair is dark so you will wear darker colors like dark blue,blood red,dark purple,black and dark green and anything that's similar to brown.Most of your clothes will be pants,shorts and blouses.For special occasions you will look like Wednesday Adams.Any questions ?"

"Yes.What's wrong with my looks ?"

"You're wearing a jeans and your grandfather wants to make you look more mature."

"Why ?"

"Well I think he wants to enroll you in school and you are one year younger that you should be.But you didn't hear this from me."

"No actually I heard that from your boss."Shirley smiled and started to cut her hair.

Helena's hair was in ponytail which let two streaks of her hair loose.She wore unusual but beautiful combination.Her pants were caramel color and her blouse was peach color.But she hasn't thought about that.She thought about discussing that with Mercury so she went to his work-room.She came in without knocking and she bumped into Mercury's old friend,Boris."Hello,Helena.How are you ?"he asked."Hi,Mr Boris.Great,how are you ?"she replied."You two know each other ?"asked Mercury who hasn't expected this."Yes we do."started Boris."She's the master of Chaos bitbeast.She hasn't told you yet ?"he assumed.Mecury nodded.In the meantime Helena opened her medallion and showed her bitchip."Do you want to become a beyblader Helena?"Mercury asked her."Sure but mom will not allow it."replied Helena.Mercury laughed"I didn't mean right now.You have to train."said Mercury "And to do some tests."added Boris."Sure,why not ?"said Helena and went to her room.She sat on a chair and with a bitchip in her hand thought about Boris and Mercury.She couldn't decide were those men her allies or her enemies.
