Extraordinary
Chapter 28
My head had been throbbing for the last 24 hours, and Abe's constant chatter was not helping it any. After being dragged into that damn car, and forced onto a plane. I soon knew my futile attempts to fight were not going to take me anywhere, so I gave up. I had screamed and yelled for another hour but soon gave up that too just because no one even looked my way. I knew where these mother fuckers where taking me too, as soon as I saw the plane I knew Abe would want me as far away from the states as possible, Turkey was our destination, a place I had gone to often in my childhood. A childhood I had always wanted leave behind, but it always caught up to me. I had forgotten all about this place, it was like my mind had surpressed the memories, and with good reason. This place was hell. This life was hell, and Abe's constant chatter was driving me insane.
"And Kizm, we are going to make you the best of the best. You need to learn your place. You have been gone too long." I tuned him out again and fell into my own thoughts.
Abe had been talking to me the moment I was dragged through the front doors. I thought he would be mad at me and yell and scream, but he had been oddly calm. He hugged me as did my mother and he soon started talking about his plans for me. It was like I had come back from a small vacation and everything was as it use to be. But he was wrong. I had left this shitty hell hole for a reason, I had made something of myself and he was not going to ruin it. Abe's business was no place for anyone, why he would want this life for me was beyond me. It was life of killing, deals, drugs and weapons. It was no place for a father to want his daughter. I could not be as cold as him. I had a heart and I had long let it run my life. I loved passionately, and cared for people. I had no place in this world, how could he not see that. I was nothing like him. I cared while he did not.
My mother kept shooting me apologetic looks. My mother had always kept quiet and never questioned anything my father had to say, or what he was going to do. But right now she looked like she wanted to yell at him to stop. My mother had tried a few times in my life to tell him I deserved better, and she wanted me to have my own life, but my father waved her off and it would never be brought up again. I knew she wanted a better life for me than this, I just wish she could be stronger for me. Her fear of Abe took over, and she always kneeled to his every need and want. I could only hope when I got out of here, cause I knew I would, whether it be because I was saved, because I knew Christian and Dimitri would not give up on me, or because I somehow escaped that I wanted to bring my mother with me. My mother deserved better, she just did not know how to get out.
"Why don't we let the girl sleep." My mothers soft voice stopped my father and he gave a stern look until his eyes met mine. I don't know what he saw but I knew I was beyond tired. I had not dared to sleep on the plane, and I had not eaten since before the party. I was exhausted, hungry and mad. This was just all too much to take in. My life had been perfect, I had everything I could ask for and then some. Abe had just come back again to do what he did best. He ruined lives, he had always ruined everything, and like always he did not even care. Like always he put his needs and his wants first. He said he wanted the best for me but in the end he wanted what was best for him.
"You're right my love. We shall get her fed, bathed, and clothed. Our princess deserves the very best." With that Abe walked out of the room and my mother extended her hands towards me. I took them silently and let my mother lead me to my old room. She wrapped her small arms around my waist and I could not help but lean my head on her shoulders. My mother had been through so much, and even though many thought she was weak, I knew she was anything but. It took someone strong to deal with Abe. He was hard to handle, and she had done as best she could. She tried to protect me as well, but living the life she did it was not easy. But right now I just needed her. I needed my mothers love, and she was willing to give it to me, so I took it. It had been far too long since I had seen her. Two years had been a long time, and the time had made my mother age. I saw more wrinkles on her beautiful face, I knew better than to think it was her age that had done that. The life she lived was stressful and she was trying so hard to do good. But no matter what she did, she would not win with Abe here.
My mother was a lot smaller than me, her petite frame also made me see her as fragile, but I knew deep inside my mother was stronger than anyone gave her credit for. She had always been there for me, assuring me that everything would work itself out. I knew she wanted to help me, but she could not risk being caught. I think that is why she would always turn the blind eye when I was doing anything Abe would not approve of. She had always longed to have a family, and I can only guess it was that it be a normal one. But life with Abe had proved her anything but a normal life, but she was always by his side, always looking at him with love in her eyes. In a way I could see why she never left his side, he did provide for her anything and everything a woman could ever ask for. But the ways Abe provided these things would more than likely be the end of both of them. I could only hope that my parents would escape and never look back.
"I have to apologize for your father my dear. You know how he gets. He just doesn't understand." She grabbed me tighter and I stayed silent I knew what she meant. My father did not understand me and my need to be normal, to live a life that meant more than this. My mother did it was all she wanted in life as well. She opened my room door and the servants brought in food in trays. She asked them to leave as soon as they did and she walked into the bathroom to set a bath for me. My mother always made me feel special, like a real princess. She use to dress me up, and play with me. She always had a smile for me even when she was sad. She made me happy, and I wished I could do the same for her, but I knew she would never leave my father, she was in this for the long run. I suppose love made you do crazy things. I know I would do anything for Dimitri and to be with him.
"Eat my dear, you're going to have to have energy when the time comes." I followed her into the bathroom. I wondered if she was talking about when my father was going to make me in charge but there was something off about her words. It was almost like she was warning me, warning me about something big that was going to happen.
"When what comes?" She sighed and faced me. I saw defeat in her features, but I also saw determination. My mother was still putting up a fight, but for what I did not know. But I knew if I asked she would tell me, my mother never lied to me, unlike my father.
"Rose I'm not letting you stay here." Her words made me take a step backwards but she followed with taking a step closer to me. "I'm the reason he never found you in Boston. I tried so hard to keep you safe my angel. But your father has his own plans as to how your life should be. He doesn't see what I see, and thats that you deserve better than this life." I stared at her in shock, she knew where I had been all this time, and god only knows what she had done to keep me safe, I knew she cared about me but I did not know her loved surpassed that of the love she had for my father, he would flip out on her if he knew she had helped keeping me hidden.
"But how am I going to get out this time. Its not like I can run away this time." She grabbed my hand and led me back to the room.
"You eat my dear and I'll explain." She motioned towards the food and I started to eat. My hungry body taking over and I listened to her. "I hired Daniela and Nathan to take care of you." I dropped my fork and stared at her. "I needed to make sure you would be safe and they provided that. They told me how you were doing, how well you progressed out in the world, and I was so proud. I could not let Abe destroy that. I nearly flew out to Boston after what Adrian did. But I could not have your father finding out. And then I was told about Dimitri. At first I was scared that he had found you, but that day that your father hired him I knew there was something different about him. And when Daniela confirmed that you two were possibly together I knew from then on he would take care of you." Her eyes dropped to the ground, and I started to see just how much my mother had aged in the last two years.
"Mom I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you in any way." I sat closer to her and grabbed her small hand in mine. I wanted to take her pain away, she did not deserve to be this sad, this broken. There had to be something I could do for her.
"No Rose you have nothing to apologize for. You have done nothing wrong. Wanting to live your life the way you want to is not a crime." She looked back into my eyes and I saw pure raw determination. "Rose he's here. Dimitri found you in Turkey and he's coming to get you. I talked to them after you were captured." Fear flushed through me. Though I knew Dimitri would find me I was scared of what would happen if he did. I knew he would come in here guns and all, and I knew he would get himself killed. It was exactly what I would do if something happened to him.
"He's going to get hurt." I stood up and started pacing. "Mom you cannot let him do this. I can't lose him. I love him." I kneeled in front of her begging for her to listen. I needed her to at least keep him safe, he was my everything, my reason to breath and live. She had to save him I could find a way to save myself, without putting those I loved in danger. There just had to be another way, this was all getting so out of control.
"It will be fine my love. Just remember that we love you. I have their plan and it will work. They are coming for you. You will leave here and live a long and happy life. You and Dimitri. And someday you will get married and have children. You will have what Abe and I were never able to give you." She got up quickly and exited the room before I could even speak a word.
I pushed the now cold food aside and suddenly felt like my shoulders weighed a hundred pounds .Abe had ruined such a perfect night, my first true new years, my first midnight kiss. I could still feel the softness of Dimitri's lips against mine. I still could not believe a man like him could fall in love with me. He was the best thing to come into my life, although I will admit, Christian and Lissa were on that list too. I just wanted out of here and my life back with them. I belonged back in my little home, with them next door. How had everything been so perfect and now destroyed. I guess that is what Abe did, he destroyed anything good, ruined everything. It was hard to hate him though, he was my father. But he had taken things too far. The man I use to know was now long gone and replaced with this man that was not capable of caring, let alone understanding.
I remembered the hot bath waiting for me, and allowed myself that small escape. I stripped my clothes slowly and stepped into the huge tub. The scent of lavender filled the air, and I could not help but think back to Lissa's garden. She had a special liking to Lavender and had filled every corner with them in her majestic garden. I could almost picture laying out in her back yard inhaling the strong scent as the suns rays caressed my skin. Having her chatter on about the latest fashions as she passed me a fruity drink. I loved those days, days without a worry in the world, days when I knew nothing could go wrong. I opened my eyes only to find myself staring at the black marble that surrounded the bathroom. My father filled his homes with dark cold materials. I never felt at home anywhere in this mansion, it was even worse at the one in LA.
I could not help the deep fear that penetrated my body. I did not want my friends, and the love of my life to be hurt by coming to get me. But I knew them all too well. Nothing was going to stop them, and honestly I did not want them to stop. I wanted to be rescued, from my luxury prison. I felt like a caged animal at the zoo, on display for all but never to be touched or loved. My father and mother could mimic the habitat of a normal human being but they would never be able to provide for me the reality. There was nothing like the outside world, the normal world. Some people would say it was too normal, and not enough. But they were so wrong. These last few months had been extraordinary. I had escaped hell only to be pulled back in. Now that I had seen what it was like I could not settle being trapped here. If Dimitri was going to come, I would fight with him. It was our lives together to fight for and it was worth it.
I had lived like a queen with Dimitri. I had a home, a job, and a man I came home to every day. I had everything I had ever dreamed about and Abe was ruining it. He was too caught up in his world, his life, and his wants to see how much he was destroying. I knew better than to think I could talk him out of this, I always feared the day that he would meet his downfall, but I knew it was soon approaching. No one could stay on top for this long. He had made too many enemies, too many people hated him, too many lives had been destroyed by my father.
It would not be easy to see my father fall, but sadly he had brought this upon himself. It was horrible to think that his own daughter would bring forth his downfall. I knew what I had to do. I hated to think about it, the thought made me sick, but I was going to bring him down. I had to or he would always come after me, come after all those innocents. I had to step up and be brave. Dimitri had done so much for me and one of those things was teaching me that I could stand up for myself and demand what I wanted in life. I could only hope it would all work out. I slowly got out of the tub, drying myself off, and drying my hair off with the blower. I picked out the baggiest pajamas I could find and soon slipped into the familiar silk sheets. Sleep came reluctantly, even though I was so tired, I feared what tomorrow would bring. But deep down inside I knew it was all for the best.
So what do you think? Will Rose stay out of trouble long enough to help Dimitri save her? And how annoying is Abe? Review? I haven't gotten many lately... I feel like I am lacking... Are you guys liking this still?
