Chapter Four
As soon as I had climbed up the stairs. Which was a tricky task as the plane was flying and I was in major pain.
All I could see were stars from my dizziness.
When I got to the top of the stairs, Luke grabbed me.
And pulled me away from the hatch not before I saw the lights of what looked like a helicopter.
And then I felt my body submerge into the darkness.
It seemed like ages before I managed to pull my self out of the dark haze.
And when I did I was still in darkness. I pulled myself up wincing. The pain in my stomach seemed worse if possible.
I could feel something heavy on me, I looked down to see only my duvet. I sighed this showed me just how weak I was.
I slowly pulled myself to the end of my bed. Breathing deeply so the pain wasn't as bad.
It took what felt like hours to walk to the door.
I quickly caught my reflection in the mirror, I was in shorts and a vest and my hair was in a ponytail.
I couldn't remember changing. It must have been my mother.
I walked out my room to the door slowly. I grimaced when I saw the stairs. Normally I would jump them but today that wasn't an option. I dragged myself down the stairs holding on to the banister as a support.
After 10 minutes I finally reached the bottom.
I could smell pancakes and burnt toast.
I could also hear more than one voice, thinking nothing much of it apart from the fact that is was probably Baba had business people over.
I swung the kitchen doors open expecting to see a meeting in progress.
Most of the business people knew me and treated me like family so they didn't mind me just marching in, stealing food from my own house and possibly joining in their meeting.
But what I didn't expect was to see Baba sitting at the table.
As the door swung open further I saw that it was the gang sitting at the table.
They all turned round to look at me.
The first face I saw was Adrian and boy was he smirking.
If I hadn't been in so much pained I would have slapped the smirk of his face.
I just shook my head and walked over to the cupboard that held the pain killers. The prescribed pain killers.
I grabbed two and got a bottle of water out of the fridge.
I turned back and they were still staring at me.
Baba was the first to speak because he wasn't scared of me, the first thing he asked was "Are you in pain?"
I laughed.
He glared at me waiting for an answer.
"Of course it hurts I was stabbed."
Baba frowned "You were what? Normally you come back with a few scratches only."
I sarcastically replied "Yes I know but I didn't expect to be stabbed by a Guardian."
At this point I looked at Dimitri.
And before he could say anything. I spoke in an angry tone "Vasilisa don't you dare heal me." She quickly pulled back her hand.
Of course they didn't think I would see her reaching for me. But I had trained with the best while I was away.
I flick my eyes back to he who shall not be named. I sort of meant what I was about to say but I could feel the darkness in me.
"I knew you hated me Guardian Belikov, but not enough to stab me."
Baba just glared at him.
By this point I was out of the kitchen and starting on the stairs.
Baba followed me and reminded me that I would be getting the rest of my tattoos today.
Yay! More pain like I really needed it.
After getting to the top of the stairs I got changed. Into all my leather.
Minus my helmet.
Ohhhh I wondered if Adrian had it. I would need to ask him later.
I put some smokey eye make-up on and a touch of clear lip-gloss.
I heard my bedroom door open and before I could shout or throw anything I was picked up and slung over a shoulder.
I was glad I had no fear of heights because my giant was so tall.
I knew Luke was carrying me because I could see his cute ass. Ha ha.
I laughed at him as he was being so careful to not hurt my stomach. But he also had his hand on my ass.
He carried me all the way to the Library.
He stopped when he entered.
I tensed.
Why did they have to follow me everywhere?
He put me down on the ground gently and strode over to my father.
Standing behind him. Anyone who didn't know them would have thought he was guarding but no they were secretly using sign language. Sneaky or what? At least you know where I get it from.
My father flicks his eyes over to me and spoke in Turkish
"Onlarbizimmisafirimiz. Nazik davranın. Annenbirsaldırıolmuştur, geriakademigitti. Evetevetosizdenönceiyi.Benbiryangınkullanıcıolduğum içinbenyardımetmekakademigidiyorum."
(They are our guests. Be nice. Your mother has gone back to the academy, there has been an attack. Yes yes she's fine before you ask. I'm going to the academy to help out since I am a fire user.)
This really shocked me as there hadn't been an attack at the academy since I was there.
"Ne kadar kötübirsaldırıbok"?
(An attack shit how bad?)
"Kötüyeterligönderiliyortehditlerçokgibi görünüyordahagetirmekiçin. VeyeterinceolarakQueen's korumaGuardianduydumkoymaktehlikeli."
(Bad enough to bring in more seems to be alot of threats being sent. And it's dangerous enough to put you as heard Guardian of the Queen's protection.)
I quickly turned to english i was so angry
" No no no. Why should i ? Wait did you say head as in that i am the boss of everyone here?"
Baba replied still speaking in Turkish
"Evet Kiz, ama çok acımasız olmayın."
(Yes Kiz, but don't be too cruel.)
He got up from his seat and strolls towards the door speaking
"OhKiz, buvücutikinizbiriolarakgeri çağırdıolacağıbüyük birşansvar."
(Oh Kiz, there is a big chance that you will be called back as one of the two of you in that body.)
He then walks to the door chuckling at his own joke. He is so easily amused.
I walk up to him and hug him and kiss his cheek.
He opens the door and speaks in english "Be careful kid the Royal Guards have an earpiecde for you. Just call them in when you are finished is coming with me. And Rose do not kill anyone in the house. Take it outside. I don't want blood on this new carpet."
I heard a gulp from the gang when he said 'In the house.'
God such scaredy cats.
I look up and Baba is gone. I turn round to Luke and Baba marches in again.
Almost like he had forgotten something. But he had that evil glint in his eye that i hold ocaasioanly. Well you know what they say father like daugher.
He stands in front of Dimtri and speaks in the fierece mobster tone "Stab Rose again by mistake or not. And you will have myself and janine on you."
And then he leaves.
I see Luke staring at me he hugs me and speaks loud enough for everyone to hear
"I love you Rosie I will miss you alot."
I hug him back "I love you too and will miss you Lukey-boy my giant."
He lets go of me from his bone breaking hug and gives me a quick kiss on the lips and walks out the room sneakily winking at me.
İ turn round to face the gang they are just staring.
I look over to see Rick the tatooist. He has everything set out and is waiting on me.
Rick has helped me design all my tatoos and has tattooed all apart from my promise mark,battle mark and two marks from my first killings.
As soon as i think about the two marks i feel the burning pain in my chest from loosing Mason.
I look at Rick. He smiles warmly. He knows my whole story. What else is there to talk about when you are getting hours worth of tattoos?
But one thing i particulary like about Rick is that he gets straight in to business. The evidence in this is when he doesn't he flinch at asking straight away to remove my top.
As soon as he spoke these words i hear a low growling noise. I looked towards the gang and saw Dimitri clenching his fists. And he looked like he was possibly shaking.
I turn around and remove my top. So i'm just sititng in my leather trousers and bra.
I quickly look at Rick and he asks me to sit. But he has a smirk on his face. He has placed the chair so i have to sit facing the gang. All i can mumble under my lips is Luke. He has set me up the little prick.
I sit down so i am straddling the seat. When i look up i am met by the faces of my previous friends.
They all start opening their mouths like they are going to say something the quickly stop.
So i decide to use my sarcasm to break the silence.
"Pyro you look so stunned like you have never seen a body like this before?"
Pyro does his classic smirk and says "Yeh your right Hathaway the body i see every night is so much better than that." And waggles his eyebrow . I crack a small smile and chuckle.
The slienece that echoed before returns until Rick speaks " Hey Ro how many did you kill last night?"
I mumble 25.
He repeats the question. So i speak louder and more confident "25, Rick."
I look at Dimtiri but he had his Guardian mask on.
Rick whistles for a long time no tune but to signify he is shocked.
"Ro that is like 250 this week,I know you do this all the time but not that sort of numbers. Whats been up ?"
I give him one word "Darkness"
He sighs knowing what it does to me. I am better at controlling it these days but sometimes it's too much.
I feel a thought from Lissa's head
Did she darkness. But she never takes it does she?
I look her in the eyes and nod. She gasps. Everyone looks at her, but she smiles.
Why i don't know.
I look at Adrian who is looking at me, almost studing me then it comes to me my aura.
Then i speak which seems to bring him out his trance "Hey you got my helmet?"
He smiles and shakes his head.
I glare at him and speak in an angry tone "But you promised, but i guess i should expect that from all of you."
Harsh i know.
But before i can say anything else Dimitri buts in "He doesn't have it because i do."
I can't be bothered with Mr i think i'm badass. Because i am the badass around here. So i show him i have no paietence " Well, can i have it back Guardian Belikov."
He replies with a "No"
"Why not Guardian Belikov?"
He answers with "Because you left in my house so techniqually it is my property. And i want answers."
I look at him but he shows no emotion.
I turn my head slighty and ask Rick how many he has to go it's only been 10 minutes but this guy tattoo's like a god of tattoo's and whiz. Ha i can't believe how funny i am sometimes i make myself laugh. Anyway. He replies with 100. Told you. You might think it's impossible but nothing it impossible in Hathaway-Mazur's book.
So i turn back to Dimitri and resume my conversation.
"Why do you think you desrve answers?"
"Because i'm your mentor."
İ actually laugh "You use to be my mentor. I am now 24 and can look after myself."
"Oh really" he replies. When did he get sarcastic? Guess i have missed alot
"Yeh i can and by the ways hows the face?"
He growls again. Why does all of a sudden he think he is an animal?
Pyro burst out lying inbetween gasping for breath. "You" "You" "Punch" "Him".
İ just nod and wink at Pyro.
At least Dimitri is showing some emotion he's frowning.
But his frowning turns into a glare and his face turns red and then to top the cake he starts shouting "Well if your doing so well. Why are you staying with that mobster. I told you to stay away with him. Anything associated with him is a pile of shit."
Once he finished i took a deep breath. Trying to calm myself. I feel Rick pat my back not in a comforting way, he was sealing the bandage gauze stuff on. As soon as i felt the last pat. I was off my seat.
I mustered all the strength i had when i got to Dimitri because at that point i grabbed him off his seat and pinned him to the wall. Before he could blink. He started to struggle a bit, but i held him firmly in place with my knee in his crotch.
So since the darkness had already taken over i thought i would have a little bit of fun.
I started by asking him what he said.
His reply was "Why Roza?"
Not the answer i wanted so i just put a bit more pressure on his manhood.
He just looked away.
It was at this point I heard the library door open.
I heard two pairs of feet approach me .
They both walked over to me and chuckled at Dimitri's uselessness in this situation.
I released my knee and walked away from him.
He half slid down the wall.
I walked over to my vest and pulled it on. I noticed Rick had gone. Sneaky beggar.
Missed all the fun.
I turned round to see two tall royal guards.
Well tall compared to my 5ft8 build.
I smiled at them. One outstretched his arm and handed me an ear piece. I took it.
And immediately pressed it into my ear.
I thanked the Guardian and batted my eyelids slightly.
Flirting was good to make somebody jealous. And it seemed to be working.
The other Guardian actually spoke. "Guardian Mazur or would you like to be addressed as Guardian Hathaway".
I smiled at his boldness. "I answer to either. What every floats your boat."
He blushed slightly. I wasn't even flirting then I was been dead serious.
He continued " I guess you have been informed of your new position. Am I correct."
"Yes I was informed of my new duties and accept them with honour and gratitude."
Then the evil thought popped into my head Belikov didn't't know.
So I smiled slightly and spoke "I still have yet to inform Guardian Belikov but all in good time boys."
They nodded their heads and retreated.
I turned to Dimitri
"I have two things to say to your Guardian Belikov. One the Belikov house is not yours it is your family home where you occasionally live. And second I am the Queens head Guardian. Now if you will excuse me I have business to attend to."
Before I could take even a step the phone rung.
I walked over to it and picked it up I automatically answered in Guardian mode " Mazur."
A small voice spoke "Rose is that you. Yes it is . Wait who is ... Alberta is that you?"
"Yes Rose I need your help please. We are about to be attacked. Can you please help?"
I answered without thought "Yes of course. I will help, you're my family. I am organising everything as we speak. I will bring everyone. And all my gear."
"Rose before you go can I ask.. are you 'The Machine'"
"That is withheld information."
She answers with a chuckle "Though so you have company i guess?"
I answer "Correct"
With that I cut the line off.
I turned to see the quizzical faces of the gang.
I was already in Guardian mode.
I pressed my earpiece in. "Royal Guards in the house now."
They all filled in a few seconds later.
"We are going on a big trip. I need you all to watch everyone in here. Go where they go. Got it"
They nodded.
I speak directly to Lissa "Lissa have you unpacked." She shook her head.
Then she spoke "What do you want me to do Rose."
"I would like you to meet me in here will all your stuff in 15 minutes.
"Guardian Belikov follow me."
He just stood still.
"Please"
He followed me to the basement.
He grabbed my arm and spun me round. "Yeva told me to give this to you I haven't read it I promise."
I nodded and put it in my trouser pocket. When the steel doors of the basement got into view.
I looked at him.
He looked me in the eyes searching for something and the for the first time in 5 years he dropped his mask.
I saw fear, anger, loneliness, and possibly love.
