Chapter 12 - No Fear
I got my dates mixed up and so therefore IF Jason decides to make an appearance on the island then I know Vaas shouldn't be 22 but 27, but its gonna have to stay like that. Just clearing it up.
"GOOD MORNING, ROSA!" boomed Vaas, causing Rosa groan.
The lights in the room were making her eyes hurt as she pulled the sheet over her head.
"Wakey, wakey." said Vaas, walkin over to the bed, "You never did like mornings, did you?"
"My head." moaned Rosa.
Vaas rolled his eyes.
"I have something to take care of that." he said.
Vaas went over to his dresser, picking up a cup and some tablets. He nudged Rosa and she peeked up from behind the sheet and took the items from Vaas.
"These pills won't kill me?" she asked.
"Most definitely." teased Vaas.
"Forever the joker, aren't you Vaas?"
Rosa popped two pills out and swallowed them with the herbal tea that was in the cup.
"That tea is good."
"It has some weed in it." said Vaas and Rosa spluttered.
"Just to relax you, hermana." he explained and winked, "Hurry up and get ready, you still haven't called Hoyt and we have some business to attend to!"
Rosa downed the last of the tea and forced herself out of bed. She got ready quite quickly and walked out of the warehouse and into the sunshine of Rook.
"Have a good birthday, Rosa?" Raul asked, smiling as he approached Rosa.
"It was amazing." she replied, "Fucking amazing."
"Glad to hear it, we never really have a purpose to our parties." said Raul.
"Do you know where I could go and call Hoyt by any chance?" Rosa asked, shielding her eyes from the sun.
"In that building, over there." said Raul and he pointed to a graffitied structure, "Just on the second floor and you should find either a phone or a radio."
"Thank you, Raul."
Rosa made her way to the building, armed with her gun and knife. Pushing open the door, some pirates stood in the ground floor, generally chatting. They all looked at Rosa and she smiled at them before made her way up stairs. She spotted a phone, not a very modern one, on a desk and picked it up and tapped in the number for Hoyt's office. The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.
"What the fuck do you dicks want now that you can't sort out yourselves." said Hoyt and Rosa smiled to herself.
"That's not that correct way to speak to your daughter, Hoyt." she laughed.
"Rosa! I didn't know it was you! How are you? Are you okay?"
Rosa could tell that Hoyt was buzzing with questions.
"Keep your hair on, old man, I'm fine. I would have called sooner but I got a little distracted."
Hoyt scoffed.
"Vaas treating you alright? I'll have that fuckers balls for breakfast, if he thinks h-"
"Hoyt, Hoyt, chill out. Vaas is treating me perfectly. You don't need to go all 'protective dad' on me, I'm old enough now, for fuck sake."
"You're right, I'm sorry. I just worry Rosa, it's your first time out of South compound and you're not even on the same island as me."
"I'm fine. How's Rich doing?" Rosa asked.
She walked over to a window and looked down onto the compound.
"He's fine. He's acting a little depressed but we all are, Rosa. You were our ray of sunshine."
"Hoyt. What did I say about acting like a pussy?"
The tyrant laughed.
"You never fail to make me laugh, Rosa. Tell Vaas I will be visiting at the end of the month. Take care of yourself for now and try not to get into any fucking trouble."
"No promises." said Rosa.
She put the phone down and laughed to herself.
"So your Hoyt's precious daughter then?" a voice said.
Rosa turned to see a pirate stood before her; he was dark skinned and had his hair covered with a bandana but it was tied in a ponytail. His eyes were dark to match and he looked no older than 30. His uniform was the same as everyone else's and he had a tattoo on his forearm that said 'No Fear'.
"Excuse me? Who the fuck are you?" she snarled at the man.
"That's none of your fucking concern, sweetheart." he said.
Rosa couldn't believe the nerve of this man. He was treading on thin ice, one wrong move and his ass was Rosa's. She didn't think he knew what he was letting himself in for.
"I'm sorry. Are you fucking deaf? I said, who the fuck are you?" she growled.
The pirate scoffed at her.
"And I said, I don't think it's any of your fucking business. Just because you're Hoyt's bitch daughter doesn't mean you can act like you own us."
The anger started to spread around Rosa's body, pumping through her blood. How dare he speak to her like she was just some nobody? With disrespect?
"I think you'll find it does. I would choose your next words wisely, hermano." she said and she stepped forward.
"What are you going to do? You're just a fucking woman." said the man.
Rosa snapped. She lunged at the man and yanked him by the ponytail, throwing him down the stairs. The pirates downstairs jumped up and shouted. Rosa ran down the stairs to the groaning pirate and hauled him up again. He tried to fight against her but she was holding him at a specific defensive angle, another method taught to her by Hoyt so that she couldn't get attacked.
She dragged him outside and onto the infamous stage, the man trying to get himself up. Rosa kicked him repeatedly in the stomach, her heels inflicting the most damage, until he was coughing blood. All of the pirates had gathered around to watch; they liked a good show.
"I'll show you who's the fucking woman." spat Rosa.
With one swift motion, she had kicked the man in the balls, making him shriek so loud, the birds in the nearby area fly from their tress. Rosa pulled her knife out of her holster, pulling the mans arm up, the one with the tattoo. She pulled, hard, causing the arm to come out of its socket, the pirates cringing and the man yelling. She took her knife and sliced it along the mans arm, cutting the section with his tattoo off. The pirate was screaming in pain but Rosa just smiled and enjoyed watching him suffer. She pulled off the flap of skin and shoved it in the pirates face.
"Do you have no fear now, huh?" she said and her voice got louder, "DO YOU?"
The man was a bloody mess but Rosa wasn't done. She whistled and the pirates guarding the dog cages opened them. The dogs came running and the crowd of pirates parted.
"Meal time!" she laughed and she pushed the man off of the stage and into the dogs, who were waiting to devour him. The pirate was screaming out as everyone just looked on, thoroughly entertained.
"You look so sexy when you torture people, princesa." said Vaas and he put his arms around Rosa's waist, "What did he do?"
"Insulted me. He said I was just Hoyt's bitch daughter."
"The fucker deserved it then."
Rosa turned around and smiled at Vaas and he gave her a small peck on the lips.
"Want to get out of here and have some fun?" he asked.
"I thought you would never ask." Rosa replied.
'212' by Azealia Banks was turned on full volume in the jeep that Vaas was driving and Rosa was rapping along.
"What you gon' do when I appear? When, when I premiere? Bitch, the end of your life's are near."
Vaas carried on driving, a smile on his face as he knew that Rosa was happy. He drove up a hill and shut the engine off when they reached the top.
"Hey, you killed my rapping streak." said Rosa but Vaas just rolled his eyes.
"Now time for some real fun, hermana." he said.
Vaas went round to the back of the truck and pulled out two machine guns as well as a flamethrower. There were packs of grenades and some unfinished molotovs too.
"We're gonna have a little campfire."
Rosa's eyes widened.
"Fuck yes." she murmured, taking the flamethrower off of Vaas.
She stuffed her holster with ammo and grenades and a couple molotovs, swinging the flamethrower over her shoulder.
"Damn, princesa, the weapons somehow make you look even more gorgeous." said Vaas and he grinned at Rosa.
"What's the plan then?"
"We go into the camp and take out the alarm, that way no more of my sister's vermin can be alerted. Too many of those cocksuckers would be too much for just the two of us, I hate to admit. Then, we kill." explained Vaas.
"Let's go then."
Both of them silently stalked their way to the camp which a group of Rakyat had claimed it as theirs. But not for long. Vaas motioned for Rosa to go and turn off the alarm so she crouched down and snuck into the camp. She disabled the alarm with ease and gave the thumbs up to Vaas. He gestured for her to walk up the steps where one of the warriors was on the roof to take him out.
Rosa nodded and slowly began to creep up the steps, treading lightly because of her shoes. The Rakyat didn't even notice her as she pulled her knife out and plunged it into his neck. She dragged his body away slightly and dropped it. She turned to Vaas, winking and he stood up to join her. Rosa pulled a molotov from her holster and set it alight. She threw it into the group of Rakyat who were stood together as it showered them with fire, making Rosa cackle. Vaas ran into the camp, his machine gun at the ready.
"Surprise, mother fuckers!" he shouted and he opened fire.
Rosa used her flame thrower to eliminate the smaller group of Rakyat that were running towards the rooftop as she heard their skin crackle. Some warriors were trying to corner Vaas so she pulled her machine gun and mowed them down. Rosa ran down to Vaas as a jeep filled with Rakyat pulled up. Rosa picked up a grenade and looked at Vaas. He nodded.
Rosa pulled the pin, throwing it at the vehicle as both Rosa and Vaas turned to run. They jumped into some trees just as the grenade exploded, killing the rest of the Rakyat. Rosa and Vaas were laying down in the grass laughing and Rosa rolled over onto Vaas and kissed him. He responded and their tongues danced. Rosa pulled away breathless.
"You're amazing, princesa." Vaas whispered and Rosa smiled.
"Of course I am." she joked, tapping Vass on his nose.
Rosa got up and walked through the trees to examine the damage done, hoping to loot some bodies for cash. Vaas followed but for some reason, he couldn't see Rosa anywhere.
"Princesa?" he called, "Where are you?"
Vaas heard a car engine start up and he ran to the sound, only to see a group of Rakyat drive away with Rosa bound and gagged in the back.
