Rosa Annerito ch. 3: Le rose del diavolo fioriscono nel sangue
A/N: I do not own gunslinger girl only my OCs and I hope this story is good. Any comments and reviews are appreciated
Seeing Senka and Alex laying their heads down on the brown wooden table, Rose wandered over with three bone white cups of coffee and set the warm cups down and said, a smile on her face as she saw the two inhale the warm amber liquid
"Well you two seem to be enjoying the drinks I made and I hope you like them because I may have made it strong but oh well" and Alex retorted
"We have not been able to sleep for a few days because of nightmares so this shit is to die for" and the girls quickly slugged on the drinks as they had been awake and on the computers all night, with a candle still burning as the clock read four thirty and Triela sauntered in and asked the question that all the girls had been wondering,
"How long have you to been awake because no one drinks Rose's coffee unless they have dumped an ungodly amount of creamer and sweetener" causing Rose to smack her shoulder stating defensively
"Hey my coffee isn't that strong and just like room service I take orders and make sure that it is the way they like it okay" and the group all laughed at Rose turning red, which was until a voice broke the jovial atmosphere stating
"well girls I would hate to break up this lovely little rendezvous but we should get down to training" and all rose would do, noticing the flickering dance of the pale light in Senka's sea green eyes, was nod and say coolly and smugly
"Yeah cousin but you are going to get your ass whooped" and Chris grabbed Rose's hand and smiled saying
"Double or nothing". Quickly nodding Rose ran out to the practice field and sang, fatalistically watching as the sun gave light to her sunburn auburn hair
"Save up your tears and keep them in your pocket save them for a time when you're really gonna need them" and Ellie smiled and said
"so as soon as you die I will lose it but has anyone ever told you that you have a very Corsican outlook on life?" and Rose nodded before slamming out knowing that Ellie had a dark wooden faded stick in her hand. Grabbing ahold of Ellie's arm, Rose twisted and forced the hand, noticing the nails were still glimmering with fresh blood red nail polish, before hearing an audible crack as the stick dropped into Rose's waiting palm. Smirking, she swung out smashing her across the nose leaving a bloody smear on the stick before latching onto her twisting and slamming her best friend and as she had just discovered, sister on her back as Nick charged at her with an onyx black knife and all Rose would do was twist and slam her knee into his chest with a thud knocking the wind out of him then smashing him down and saying with a smirk
"I win brother". As Nick started to rub the feeling back into his wrists, all he would mutter was
"God sis you are a pain in my ass" and Rose just smiled before Gabrielle said
"Girls and boys I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we need to go back to school for a little bit" and without a minutes thought Rose turned and bolted toward the door and packed up her backpack, making sure that the stuff she needed and even made sure that her handguns were either in her backpack or her waist band and she wandered back toward Triela and sang
"I hope you find the storm that you were chasing, hope your eyes are still as full of dreams as they were the night when you slipped off those cutoff jeans" making sure her hair was in a ponytail that sat in the middle of her back and blowing a kiss, Rose said, her voice set as granite
"Well I will go back to school and my goal is simple, take out the target and get home soon or hell I may get to live a normal life for once" and Elsa said
"God you have a massive ego, how did I miss it" and the two raised fists making everyone think that a fight was starting until the two bumped knuckles. Smiling and laughing the two sat down as Senka looked around worried that her new friends were going to leave her. Seeing a look that she had worn many times although Rose was struggling to remember why, she set a hand on Senka's shoulder and said
"I will see you soon and maybe you can join us at the school, well you and Alex. What do you say?" and Senka spoke excitedly in Serbian, forcing rose's cybernetic hearing to work overtime
"Da li si ozbiljan? DA, samo mi dajte pet možda šest minuta" before she scampered off and told Alex, giddly like a young school girl that they were going back to school. As the two started to pack up, Elsa passed over two black bags and the girls unzipped the bags, puzzled as to the contents and Senka squealed like a five year old at Christmas seeing the vest; a level four dragon skin interceptor with hardened ceramic and steel blended plates. Seeing the vests, Senka tried putting it on getting Ellie laughing like a maniac as she saw the vest showing that Senka had put it on backwards and possibly inside out. Quickly tapping on the girls shoulder as she had a cobalt blue pair of headphones blaring music making conversation all but impossible, Elsa and Rose both said
"We can help you to get dressed properly because there is a special way to wear the vests and you are supposed to tuck them under clothing so glad you two have a tank top on already" and with that they helped both girls get the vest on safely and before they tucked the shirts down over the vests, Senka asked
"Is this typically how Italian students go to school?" and the room exploded in a chorus of laughs as Nick said, absently looking at Triela
"I like this girl, she is really funny" getting rose to remark quietly, all the while shoving me lightly, "take your eyes off her boy, she's going to be my wife" and everyone laughed as Triela went beet red. Seeing that, Gabriella said
"Okay children it is time to go to school, and girls to answer your question, no it is not but these kids aren't normal" and Rose walked over and hopped into an all-black dodge challenger, with a fire breathing dragon on the hood before tearing off to school. As they pulled up Mimi, her light black hair having grown a little more and as such she had decided to spike it, knowing from the days when her best friend and some said boyfriend, Chris Augenstine had revealed he loved the spiky hair on the roof with wine to encourage the interaction, walked over and hugged Triela. As the two broke the embrace Mimi asked
"So who are the newbies?" and Triela made the introductions as Rose wandered in and started to blend in before starting to walk home and after the group all sat around, a girl wandered over with a pistol on her hip and a .40 caliber UMP with a red dot sight was concealed under her jacket with a look that rose knew all too well. As the group all sat down in classes, the teacher looked at the newest arrivals and said, her voice full of concern for the kids that looked like they were slowly descending into madness
"I am sorry to the new arrivals but today is a half day so you will not get a very long class today" and Rose looked over at the girl and asked, her voice low as to not draw any attention
"Hey you I wonder what your name is" and the girl looked at her before pulling out her computer and started typing furiously before saying
"My name is violet and before you ask, yes I am an expert with computers and the school knows I am armed. I just slip them some money and am their tech support whenever they need it so they have a top of the line firewall. Any other questions?" and Elsa sang, feeling alone
"I hope you find the storm that you were chasing, I hope your eyes are still as full of dreams as they were the night you slipped of those cutoff jeans" and as the words left her mouth, she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her and naturally Elsa tightened up and said quietly
"please don't hug me. It makes me feel kind of uncomfortable" and the arms instantly dropped and Ellie said, her voice instantly full of worry
"I'm sorry buddy I didn't know that" before focusing on the mission of keeping Mimi alive because the ones who killed her father maybe after her blood. Quickly looking around, Elsa saw the day slowly drag on by, granting them the freedom of surviving the day. Quickly heading toward the cars, a laid-back mode in place as violet explained, in guarded terms, that she was a computer expert and the weapons were her hobby, tipping Rose off to the fact she was probably being hunted by someone and said, lightening the mood
"Let me guess you oversaw trying to get counterfeit dollar bills onto the market but the mafia wanted it to be done faster and you being a perfectionist led to your whole team being rounded up and tortured to death?" and Violet laughed and said
"Something like that" and a car pulled up and before anyone could react a blast of gunfire sent the school running like a stampede and naturally the agency took up defensive positions with Rico's CZ and Triela's 97 shotgun starting the argument and Elsa and Rose's 550s threw in their complaints until Rose ate a bullet to the upper chest lodging itself in her throat. Dropping down Alex and Senka threw homemade fire bombs before Ellie and Elsa, having official started dating two days before the raid, drug the wounded out of the way and Rose muttered
"Well I am out of time and innocence lost cannot be regained" expecting to die on the cold, white tiles with the thin dusting of snow just starting to cover her in a shroud of peace. Feeling herself getting moved, Rose sang
"On the 8th of November the angel was crying as she carried my sisters away" and they all fled from the area and Senka spat out
"Damned blood feuds are something I wish was left in Serbia and not brought into this hell" and Violet said, hoping her actions didn't get her guardian killed
"The truth about me is simple. I am a master computer expert and well I dug into something from the AISE that I really shouldn't have seen and it involves a major African war crimes cover up so some of the powers that be took a hit out on me" and with that, violets fate in the SWA was secured. As they pulled in, Gabriella revealed that she had heard of Violet and offered her a place in the agency. As she walked in, Violet looked around and asked, her voice a little too quiet, as she was still uneasy and afraid that the girls she had just started bonding with would try and kill her
"The government has tried to kill me because I know all the AISE dirty laundry so I maybe in deep shit" before wandering into the room where the girls, all of whom were used to the fact that someone would try and kill them, just ignored the comment not giving a damn. Wandering in with her duffel bag wondering where she would sleep, Violet saw a bed that was available and tried to climb up onto it and fall asleep, as she had been up for forty-eight hours straight, and heard Angelica and Elsa say, in different tones
"umm this bed is taken. I can try and find you a place to stay" and Violet, just wanting to sleep, slammed her foot into the frame kicking dirt into the air and she reacted and grabbed the plate, all the dirt and the worms in all and quickly she set it down before jumping up saying
"Mole I need to get some damn sleep because I have had no sleep at all in the last two days" before pulling her boots off and instantly she was out like a light.
