Chapter X: Lions, Tigers and Bears

"Get out of my house!!!" Rayn screamed, Lei jumped out of bed and ran down the hallway when she heard her mother screaming. After leaving Kras City, Rayn fired all the maids, bulters and personal memior writer. So it was only Rayn and herself in the small house, Lei ran down the stairs to find a man grabbing Rayn's wrist and shaking her.

"Where is she! I want too see her! It's been 14 years and you said I could see her when she was 4!" The man shouted, Lei stopped dead in her tracks when Rayn looked up to Lei standing on the stairs. A man with short blonde hair followed Rayn's gaze up the stairs and looked at the blue haired girl, the man wore a pair of brown pants and a long black jacket. Around his wasit was a slash with golden rims on it, he let go of Rayn and stepped towards the stairs. "Are you Leian?" Lei backed up, he held out his hand to her. "I'm your father.. Jinx." Lei ran up the stairs and slammed her door closed, she grabbed her back pack from Laurent and shoved some clothing into it. She grabbed her boots and shoved her feet into them, she opened her window and threw them outside. She grabbed her purse and jumped out the window into a snow bank. Lei fumbled with her keys to the Jaxelin X and jumped, Jinx and Rayn both ran outside.

"Lei!" Rayn shouted as Lei drove out of the drive-way, Rayn crossed her arms and glared at Jinx. "See what you did."

"Where is she going?"

"Haven to see her boyfriend." Rayn said pulling out her phone. "Jahen Praxis, Ashelin and Torn's son." Jinx made a face.

"They got married?" Ryan nodded as she bought the phone to her ear.

"Maybe if you weren't playing around in the snow, you would actaully know." Rayn sneered. "Oh wait I forgot you were doing research and protecting Chancellor Ives while he killed many and destoried others lives."

"Bite me Rayn." Jinx growled.

Grante sat in her room in only her bra and panties, 10 minutes from now she was going to make the biggest speech of her life to the whole city. She looked in the mirror and her perfect golden and black eyeshadow, she looked back at the royal purple dress laying on her bed. She stood and touched the soft cloth of the dress, she looked behind her when someone knocked on her door. She pulled on the dress and zipped it up on the side, then sat infront of the mirror.

"Come in," She said. Montley came in frist and took a picture of her daughter, then she grabbed Erol and pulled him into the room.

"Look at her!" Montley sqeuaked. "She sooo cute!"

"Thanks mom." Grante said leaning into the mirror and applied lipgloss, Erol crossed his arms and glared at Montley. "I'm nervous." She whispered, Montley hugged her daughter and looked into the mirror at her. Both mother and daughter had glowing faces, one with green eyes and the other with orange. Grante sighed and leaned forward, Erol sighed -louder this time- and looked at his feet.

"Come on Montley... let the girl get ready." Montley nodded and left the room, Grante watched as the door closed and she was left by herself. She pulled on her gold shal and took her speech in her purse, she locked her room and went down the stairs. Outside, there was a limo waiting for her. A lady with large blonde hair, she wore a black skirt and vest.

"Come along Garnette." She said as Grante got into the car, the lady closed the door and poured her a glass of wine. "Hello, I am Lady Gaeah, Queen of Spades. I'm married Chancellor Ives, King of Clubs." Lady Gaeah sighed. "You remind me of you," She said tapping her face. "So innocent, so cheerful. One day you'll become Queen and then you'll marry Charis-"

"Oh no," Grante said sniffing the wine. "Never in my life, he's rude and I can't stand him." Lady Gaeah's glass broke and she laughed.

"Sorry deary... I thought I heard wrong... don't worry..." She said as the door was opened. "You'll learn to deal!" Lady Gaeah jumped out and waved to the crowd, Grante followed and kept her down. She followed Lady Gaeah up onto the stage where Chancellor Ives and Charis stood, Charis had a large bruise on his face as he stood at attention to the crowd. Baron Schuyler came up, he came up to the microphone as everything went queit.

"The oath of Kras City," Baron Schuyler started. " 'Life's a game but it's not fair, I break the rules so I don't care. So I keep doin' my own thing walkin' tall against the rain,victory's within the mile. Almost there, don't give up now, only thing that's on my mind... is who's gonna run this town tonight?'" Grante looked into the crowd, sitting in a booth was Eli with his parents. He looked bored as he picked at his arm, but his eyes were on Grante. She gave a small smile and he nodded back to her, Baron Schuyler asked everyone to sit.

"Welcome Krasians." Baron Schuyler said as everyone sat and went queit. "Welcome guest of Haven, guest of Spargus, guest of Icelands and guest of Forgotten. We are here today to invite these two youngsters into the grovement of Kras City in hopes they will lead they're peers into a brighter tomorrow!" He motioned to the four people sitting behind him. "Chancellor Ives and his lovely wife, Lady Gaeah has invited two students from Precusor Private to join them in their grovemental rule. Please welcome Chancellor Ives to the stand." Everyone clapped and cheered as Ives stood up.

"Hello, I am Chancellor Ives. I choose this student for his smarts and his witty remarks, I personally think his ideals on our city can really change and make this a better place for all to live. So please help me welcome to the stand, The Ace of Diamonds.... Charis Oppsits." Grante leaned to Chairs.

"I thought you were suppose to be a king?"

"Ego of Ives." Charis sneered, he blew a kiss to Grante. "Enjoy my speech."

"I'll try not to fall asleep." Grante growled.

Eli rolled his eyes as Charis went up, beside him Keira listened and bounced Herr on her lap. Jak sat beside Sig and half listened, he really hated going to these things. He also really hated sitting here listening to Charis; Eli sighed and leaned back in his chair. How in hell did Jahen and Kahen get out of this one? Did they feed their parents some kind of food that convinced them a 'royal' speeches were a waste of time, and if so where could he get some? Eli opened his phone and fell into a complete and utter shock.

:bored? yah i thought soo... you didn't talk to her... so my sharpshooter is ready.

Eli flipped his phone shut and walked away from his parent's booth, Jak grabbed Eli's arm as he was leaving but Eli shrugged him off. He would find the sharpshooter and destory him.

"... and finally in closing. Thank you so much for putting me and my ex girlfriend, Garnette, as future Chancellors-" Eli froze, he could see Grante's face drain completely as Charis winked at her. "I know we'll be together for a long time." Everyone started clapping madily, Eli went around the corner of the stage where the grauds were and watched as Lady Gaeah stood and went to the microphone.

"Good day lovelies." She said in a sing-song voice. "I'm Lady Gaeah, and my choice for this years program was a girl with enough charm, beauty, grace and of course... bran and brains to be a Lady Chancellor. Please welcome, The Jack of Hearts, Garnette Kanna-Cure." There were hardly anyone clapping as Grante stepped to the mircophone. She adjusted the mircophone and tapped it.

"Thank you for the welcoming and thunderous welcome," Grante said shifting her papers. "I know what half of you are thinking... Why would a Kanna be in this chair? And the other is thinking... Do you remember the last time a Kanna had this much power? Well I'm telling you this now, shove your thoughts where the sun don't shine!" Grante shouted throwing her papers to the ground. "I was told to say this speech by my teachers but I'm going to stick to my frist copy!" There were some murmers and whispers among the crowd, Eli glanced to Erol and Montley sitting in the booth. Montley's face paled quickly but Erol's face lit up as he leaned forward to listen.

"Garnette-" Baron Schuyler whispered.

"I know I do have the blood of Erol Kanna in my veins, but I also have the blood of Montley Cure in my veins too! I have a heart and I want to be here, I want to sit in that chair no matter what my bloodline and help rule along side Lady Gaeah and Baron Schuyler... I don't think Chancellor Ives does shit all but... meh that's me." Grante said earning a couple of snickers. "But unlike Lady Gaeah, I don't want to stand by watching her husband rule... I want to be a Chancellor! I want to make your city a better place to live! My parents will always have a say in my life, and what my..." Grante choked on this word. "Father... has done in the past means nothing to my now! What cannot kill Kanna will only make us stronger!" Grante brushed a red ringlet behind her ear. "So in closing... I really do want to be in this chair because in the end," She glanced back at Charis Oppsits. "I won't stand behind Charis Oppsits, I'll step over him and become Chancellor Cure!" Everyone started clapping wildly as Grante sat back down beside Lady Gaeah who was fuming, on the side Chancellor Ives was shell shocked by this. Baron Schuyler stood and went to the mircophone and sighed.

"Thank you Garnette Kanna-Cure." A graud came up carrying two crowns, one was golden flower crown with red flowers and an Eco Heart on the front. The other was a cooper looking colour with thorns on it, poking out the back was a black spade with a tiny diamond inside of it. Baron Schuyler took the black spade crown and walked behind Charis Oppsits, he placed it on his head. "I name thee, Ace of Spades... Charis Oppsits." Everyone cheered as Charis bowed, Grante rolled her eyes and caught sight of Eli standing off to the cornor. He pointed forward and made a gun with his hands, Grante's eyes flashed forward and saw a sharpshooter ontop of the bleachers. "I name thee, Jack of Hearts... Garnette Kanna-Cure!" Everyone started to cheer as Grante watched the sharpshooter fire, she covered her face as everyone started screaming. She peaked through her fingers as the sharpshooter diseappered into the paniced crowd, Grante looked for a wound but only found an injuried Baron Schuyler behind her.

"Come back here!" Two grauds yelled as Eli ran up to her, he hugged her tight as she stared at the body on the ground. The dying Baron Schuyler's eyes were closed and he was breathing heavily, but no matter what blood pulsed out of the bullet wound in his neck. Eli kissed the top of Grante's head as he looked through the crowd.

"Thank the gods," Eli whispered. "He missed." Baron Schuyler reached out his hand to Grante, she bent down and took his hands.

"Oh, Baron Schuyler! Please don't die I beg you!" He pressed a finger on her lips.

"Hush.. do not be afraid of them... they only fear what's in your blood. Remember you're strong... because you're a Kanna & a Cure..." Grante squeezed his hand.

"Baron Schuyler! Baron Schuyler!" Grante screamed as the crowd started to calm down, Eli looked around as everyone started point and motion to them. Eli looped an arm around her waist and pulled her away, Grante started to scream louder as she was forcely let go of Baron Schuyler's cold hand. "No!" She cried out as everyone started watching.

"Come on Grante," Eli said pulling her towards the exit, off to the side was the Sand Shark with Erol inside of it. He motioned for Eli to hurry, Grante started claw at Eli's arm as the people stared.

"I'm not scared of lions, tigers and bears!" Grante shouted into the crowd. "So bring it on!"

Sabine sat on the couch in the Murderess Hideout with Cruzie and Taya, Taya was a new girl from another city who was caught by Marauders and sold to Lange. She performed her frist show just last week, and she was fairly neverous. Her hair was dark orange, and she had light skin -soon to be darker with all the sun she'll get- on her cheek was a scar from when the Marauder's attacked her.

"Yah, I win!" Cruzie cheered and Taya crossed her arms.

"Damn." Taya said sighing, Sabine laughed and changed the channel on the TV. On the other side of the room, Lorna and Dulac all were infront of the mirror applying make-up. Lorna sighed and stood, she came over and tapped her foot.

"Excuss me youngsters." Sabine rolled her eyes.

"Yes Lorna?" Lorna was one of Lange's frist, she began working for Lange when she was 18 and she was now well into her 20's. Lorna flipped her black hair over her shoulder and crossed her arms, she glared down at Sabine.

"You guys should be praticing for the big show next week," Lorna sneered. "You know, there's only a few parts left and we get double pay if we dance in that show."

"What show?' Taya asked.

"The Moulin Rouge Show," Cruzie snorted, she started to reset all the pieces in the game. "Hard core skankness to the max, there's only-"

"Three spots." Lorna said, Sabine rolled her eyes and took a sip of her wine.

"Lorna who says that you'll get the leading role again?"

"I do, I get the role every year."

"Do you think I'll be in it?" Taya asked, Lorna laughed.

"A new comer? No way! It's only for the pros, like myself. Reed, Delac and... Sabine." Cruzie frowned as Lorna walked back to the table applied a deep red lipstick, Sabine looked over to Lorna and Delac.

"Where is Reed?"

"Reed went on a speical outting." Delac said in her deep Marauder accent, Delac adjusted her bra and smiled. "Some kinda party for a man about to tie tha knot." Lorna poked herself in the eye with her eyebrow brush.

"What?!" Lorna growled as Cruzie snickered, she placed her knew person on a sqaure as Poppy, Lange's wife, walked in. She smiled, her teether were a light shade of yellow from smoking and she wore a tight fitting black dress with diamonds around her neck.

"Hello ladies, I have the new list for this weeks show! Okay soo Lange has choosen to do fun loving song, so..." Poppy said going through her papers, she pulled out five dance sheets and one singing sheet. She passed the dance sheets to Delac, Cruzie, Taya and Lorna. Lorna stared down at the dance sheet before letting it fall to the floor, Poppy walked up to Sabine and passed her the singing sheet. "Congrats, Sabine. Lange choose you as his singer, learn the lyrics and learn the dances... all eyes will be on you." Poppy winked at Sabine as she walked out, Cruzie cheered and jumped onto the couch.

"OMG! Lead role?! Wow Sabine, I think Lange has a new favortie!" Lorna snorted.

"I'm always his fav."

"Yah," Taya said running her hands through her hair. "But aren't you getting old?" Lorna looked shocked before stomping out, Delac gave a soft snicker before winking at Sabine.

"Good job, brat." Sabine nodded as she looked down at the lyrics again, Taya was right. Lorna was getting old, was she the new Lorna? Were there going to be guys lined out the door just to see her, and only her? She looked out to the window, as Lorna and Delac drove away.

"I win this time!" Taya cheered, she knocked over Cruzie's king. "Soon... I want to be like you Sabine... Queen of the desert." Sabine snorted and got off the couch, she slipped outside and flipped her phone open. An unknown source just sent her a text, she opened it and read through it slowly.

:hello Sabine, I know soo much more about you then you do about yourself! I'm playing a game with your brothers... so I might as well play it with you too! I'm going to send this message to one of your brothers to meet you, then you are going to give him the thing he needs and he'll give you what he has... kk?

Sabine shut her phone and pocketed it, she glanced back inside and looked at her friends. Brothers? She never knew her family, and never wanted too. They threw her away, she... Taya, Cruzie, Reed and Delac were all thrownaway daughters- well in Reed's case thrownaway son.
