Chapter 8: Missing
Rosalinda sighed sitting in her room on her bed staring at her tarot cards. "Damnit, Selena I know you told me that these would be good for me, but I have no idea what I am looking for." She sighed and leaned back on her bed closing her eyes. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. Her life had been boring for the past three years. She went to college to get her degree in social work, she worked three jobs, and she was fucking single. "I blame Zarek for this shit. If he hadn't told me it was good to break up with Caleb three years ago, I would at least still have a boyfriend." She closed her eyes thinking back to the night she broke up with him.
Caleb was sitting outside Dante's Inferno waiting for her. She breathed in deeply and walked over to her. "Caleb, we need to talk."
He wrapped his arms around her and smiled looking at her. "Ok baby… shoot."
She stepped out of Caleb's hold sighing. "We need to break up." He looked at her confused. "It's not fair to you for me to be dating you. I should not be dating if I am in love with someone else, which I am."
He sighed and put his hands up shaking his head and laughed. "I should have known. After all, he is your soul mate. I hope we can be friends because I really do like and I would hate to never see you again."
"Of course, god you're so much a like to him." Rose laughed and pooffed out.
Rose sighed and sat up folding her tarot deck away as she clearly wasn't going to understand what it was going to say to her today. She put it back in her nightstand drawer and lay back down on the bed and sighed. She closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep when there was a knock on her door. Rosalinda looked at her clock on her bed. It was noon. Kyrian should be asleep and Nick would not be home. She quickly sat up and grabbed the stake from under her pillow and cautiously walked to her door as the banging on the door got louder. She quickly opened the door and held up the stick getting ready to stake the intruder. She was about to stab him until she realized it was Nick. She dropped her stake and shoved him and put her hands on her hips as she didn't realize she was wearing a mesh corset with a miniskirt that was black. "What the hell are you doing here? We don't have class until noon."
He held his hands up and looked at her. I was just wondering if you know why Kyrian didn't come home last night."
Rosalinda looked at him like he was crazy. "Of course he came home, you dumbass, he's in his room."
He gave her a droll stare. "Don't you think I would have seen that? Damnit Rose, I am his squire. You know the one you trained to take care of him. I think I know where his bed is and where to look to see if he is not there. I swear to you. He is not here!"
Rosalinda looked at him and gasped as she ran to his room to confirm and gasped falling back into the doorway about to fall when Nick caught her and she gasped tears forming in her eyes as a lump formed in her throat. "No, no, no, no, not again…"
Nick put his head on her shoulder as he swayed her back and forth trying to comfort her. She refused to cry, she would not do it. She had sworn to herself that she was not a cry baby and that she would not cry in front of Nick again. She loved him and she wanted him to think she was strong. "Ok, let's figure out what was going on."
As Rose was saying what she was saying Nick's phone started ringing. Nick answered. "Hello… Kyrian dude, where are you? I have Rose here she is worried sick about you…" He nodded his head as Kyrian relayed a message to him. "…You want the car and not the bike… Ok, ok, got it. Car not bike… clothes and female wear of some kind… yes, yes I will let Rose pick it out… well at least she's her size… I buy her clothes online all the time. You're orders not mine..." Nick laughed at that comment. "Oh trust me boss, if I wanted to see her naked, I would have done so by now… It's not my fault Kristina doesn't trust me… Yea, yea I'll call Tate, give me fifteen minutes."
He hung up the phone and looked at Rose. "So what would you prefer, the good news or the bad news?"
"I hate when you ask me things like that. Ok hit me with the good news." She sighed and leaned against the wall.
"Well, the good news is Kyrian's alive." He said smiling.
She looked at him and sighed, "And… the bad news. Which I know is bad considering how good your good news is."
"Well… He is locked up somewhere that we don't know we have to give Tate access to his phone chip so he knows where to track him to go pick his ass up. He is also handcuffed to a female who doesn't want to be any help to Kyrian at all and says that the bad picked up the wrong twin."
At the mention of the word twin she halted. "Did he mention the twin's name?"
He shook his head no. She quickly grabbed her cellphone out of her pocket and called Tabitha and she answered the phone. "Hello."
Rosalinda looked relieved for a second before she closed her eyes. "Could you get a hold of Mandy?"
Tabitha gasped. "You don't know. She was kidnapped last night when taking out terminator. I am fucking worried about her. Do you know where she is?"
She bit her bottom lip in indecision but decided that in the long run protecting Kyrian's secret is of more importance than Tabitha's worry. "No sweetheart, I haven't seen her. Nor do I know where she is. I will keep my eyes peeled however and let you know the moment I know something ok?"
She hung up her phone and then ran into her room and grabbed Amanda an outfit handing it to Nick. "Ok so this is what you need for Amanda and I will be right here worried sick over everything going on and I will also call Acheron."
He nodded and left sighing as Rosalinda sat on her bed and called Acheron. "Hello?"
"Acheron, it's me. Kyrian has been kidnapped is handcuffed to my best friend Tabitha's twin and we have no idea where he is."
Acheron appeared almost instantly in her room. "Are you fucking serious?"
She gave him a duh stare. "No I am lying to you. Of course I am fucking serious."
He sighed and nodded. "Ok well, we should wait for his return and then I will have to talk to him."
Rosalinda looked at Acheron worried. "Will he be ok?"
Acheron nodded as he walked towards the kitchen as Rose followed him. "You know you should let Simi out."
He sighed and let Simi off his arm as she looked around and then at Rose. "Akri-Rose. I missed you."
She practically squealed and hugged her as rose laughed. "Hey, Sim, we have to eat food first though."
She nodded as Rose walked up to the freezer grabbing her food for Simi and opened it giving it to her. "Now don't eat it all at once."
She nodded and ran off. Acheron laughed and looked at her. "Thanks Rose."
"Not a big deal. I love Simi."
Rose looked at Acheron worried. "Is he going to be ok?"
He nodded, "I think so sweetheart, I am not sure though."
Rose sighed and nodded staring out into the distance. "I can't lose him again. I just can't."
"I know Rose, I know."
Rose sat on her bed shaking with fear as someone knocked on her door. She got up to answer it as she stared at Nick. "Nick what are you doing here it's the middle of the night?"
He pulled her against her and sighed. "Damnit Rose, I can't do this anymore. I can't date other girls to make you jealous. I can't fuck other girls and close my eyes and see your face. I love you Rose and I can't live without you anymore. Acheron thinks that this could be Kyrian's lover. If that is true, and she can finally free him, I would no longer be in Kyrian's service and we would be able to go out. So my question to Rose is if this works out for the best and we can be together. Would you not only date me, but would you marry me?"
Rosalinda stared at him gaping and gasped and closed her eyes as tears welled up in her eyes. "Yes." She looked at him and cried. "Yes, yes, yes, oh god yes, I will." She screamed and jumped up hugging him crying. "Damnit Nick, I love you."
He smiled and held her and kissed her softly. She smiled and grabbed his hand and led him into her room. "What are we doing?"
She turned around and started to unlace her corset. "I am going to show you just how happy you made me."
He smiled and took his shirt off as rose finished unlacing her corset and she smiled as now they were both topless. Her in her bra and him with no shirt, he grabbed her and pushed her onto the bed kissing her passionately and breathlessly as he played with her tongue sliding his hand on her bare stomach kissing down her jawline down to her neck down to the cloth of her bra down to her stomach and finally to her pants. He seemed to look up at her as if asking her for permission to continue. Rose nodded as he smiled and pulled her pants off smiling. He spread her legs and dipped his head into her thigh licking his way up to the part that he was seeking most. He gave her a teasing lick to see how she reacted. She shuddered blushing deeply as he took her into his mouth. He began to tongue and tease her the best he could and pleased her until she came into his mouth. He smiled and nipped at her thigh as he stood up and removed his pants and position himself just before he went in. "Are you sure you want to do this." She nodded and smiled as he slammed himself into her as she screamed in pleasure wrapping her legs around his waist and blushed deeply arching her back. He quickly began to thrust against her as she moaned and screamed. Her moans fueling his need as his thrusts became quicker and faster and harder as he leaned against her and kissed her neck and then he went to her jaw and kissed her jaw. He finally moved to kiss her mouth and began to kiss her as he thrust harder and faster into her refusing to cum until she was completely satisfied. She screamed and orgasm one more time and as she did he came inside her as well. She panted heavily as she lay on her bed cuddling into Nick as he pulled out of her and lay his head on hers and kissed it. "Rose I love you more than life itself, I really hope he can be free for multiple reasons. One he needs to be happy, two we can finally be together."
Rose leaned her head on his chest and smiled. "Yes that would be good."
Rose woke up at about 7:00pm cuddled up to Nick with his arms wrapped protectively around and kissing her neck. She blushed and cuddled deeper into him mumbling a good morning to him. He smiled and kissed her cheek. "Good morning to you as well…"
She smiled and got up walking towards her shower and started to shower as she called out for Nick to join her. He smiled and joined her wrapping his arms around her waist and smiled as they spent thirty minutes cleaning each other. He kissed her as they both got out and got dressed. They walked over downstairs hoping that Kyrian was back. Kyrian was in the kitchen and Amanda was across from her. Unable to stop herself Rosalinda ran to her and hugged her practically tackling her. "Damnit Amanda, you dumbass, you worried me half to death." She stepped back. "And not to mention, TABITHA, she has been calling me nonstop asking if I have seen you, and dumbass over there…" She pointed towards Kyrian. "…has a secret I can't tell your god damn sister. Do you know how hard it is for me to lie to her? Not only does she risk her life for me, but I risk my life for her."
She held her hands up in defense. "Like I wanted to be handcuffed to him, I wanted to go let Tabitha's dog out and then go home finish my book and go to bed so I could get up in the morning and go face my ex-fiancé, thanks for that by the way, and go back to my normal job."
Rosalinda laughed and hugged her as Amanda sighed hugging her. "Look, I know it's hard, but think about it. If he can't handle your crazy ass family plus me, then he isn't the man for you, because you know if your sister finds out anyone hurt you in any way, shape, or form they would be dead and that would be that for their life.
Amanda laughed and nodded, "So what's the plan?"
Acheron came in the room then and sighed. "The plan is to get your ass out of the line of fire, or Desiderius is going to kill you, Kyrian, and everyone on this planet, and not to mention that Kyrian here is completely weak against the bastard if he decides to play dirty with a child again. Talon got everyone healed up from the explosions and Tabitha killed off half the daimons and stabbed yet another dark-hunter." He looked at Rosalinda. "Where were you to stop that from happening?"
Rosalinda rubbed the back of her head. "Yea, about that, you really don't want to know." She looked at her clock, "Oh look, time to go to work, you know Mama Lo, she doesn't like it when I'm late." She quickly pooffed out of the house and into Sanctuary pulling on her Sanctuary t-shirt she walked into the bar and smiled. She looked at Amy and smiled. "What am I doing today?"
She pointed towards the back, "Well, you're 24 so we are not worried about you doing the bar, so why don't you go replace Cherise and we will be golden."
Rosalinda nodded and walked over to the bar and smiled sending Cherise home for the night as Nick walked into the bar smiling to walk his mother home. Cherise was finishing up for the night as Rose pulled Nick into the back alley and kissed him softly wrapping her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her back pulling her closer as he continued to kiss her. She smiled and looked at him giving him a wink as the both walked back inside the bar and walked over to the bar, where she grabbed Cherise's apron and began to mix drinks and make them smiling as she looked at Aly. Aly walked over to her ordering a beer and she handed it to her. "Why did we move to two gloves instead of one?" Rosalinda asked looking down at her two hands.
She looked up at Remi and then to Mama Lo, "No Reason."
Rose rolled her eyes and nodded as Abertio came strutting over her, probably looking for Aly. "Hey Rose, sweetheart, your uncle wants to buy a round of beer for the crowd upstairs."
Rose sighed and nodded as she put together a tray of beers and walked upstairs to give the beer to everyone and then her Aunt Psyche stopped her and pulled her aside before she could go downstairs. "Hey sweetheart, how are things going with your beloved?"
"They are going fine Auntie Psyche. Why?" Rose asked confused.
"Oh, because I remembered a part of the prophecy of when you were born that no one decided to tell you." She leaned in and whispered into Rose's ear. "You are to get pregnant with the Malachi's child by the time you reach 26."
Rosalinda stared at her gasping. "Wait, so let me get this right. I am to be turned immortal when I turn 26 to raise twins that I am not ready to have? So I have two more years before I turn immortal and have twins."
She nodded and smiled. "Congratulations. I love you so much. Oh and one more thing, don't try and fight it because the more you try and fight it the more it will hurt to not have sex with your Malachi, especially now that you have had sex with him already."
She nodded and unable to talk walked downstairs where she stopped by the door to Remi's room where she heard some shouting but then they turned to hushed noises as she shook her head and walked towards the bar.
Nick was sitting at his house thinking about Rose and what happened earlier today. He was so happy that she had said yes, that he didn't think about the consequences. He came inside her and didn't even think that she might be pregnant. If she got pregnant before he finished college his mother would kill him. He sighed and paced the room in anger trying very hard not to punch a wall or alert his mother to any kind of anger emanating from him. He sighed and sat on the bed thinking about what he was going to do. Surely, she would tell him if she ended up pregnant, so we just have to wait a month and if she doesn't say anything than they don't have to worry about a thing.
Rose finished up her job at Sanctuary and began to walk home as she looked around and sighed. She was not ready to go home. She loved Kyrian, but he needed time to be Amanda. She thought about it and decided to go visit Grace and her dad. She began walking towards their house. She made it to their house and knocked on the door as Julian answered and smiled. "Hey baby girl, I missed you, haven't seen you since the latest birth." Rosalinda rolled her eyes and walked in the door and looked at Grace and then turned back to Julian. "So, I hear you got to see Kyrian again?"
"Yea, I also heard that you were living with him. Thanks for the head up letting me know that you were living with my best friend." Rose shrugged and smiled as she picked up one of the kids and bounced them up and down staring at Julian. "So what should they be today, Siblings, or nieces and nephews." Grace burst out laughing as Julian glowered at Rose.
Rose laughed and hugged her dad and sat down staring at her siblings and smiled. "Dad, I know you miss them, but your beautiful children here are amazing."
He smiled and hugged Rosalinda smiling. "Also, if Kyrian gets freed, I am getting married." Rosalinda sighed quickly trying not to look at her father and the expression that he is giving her.
