Chapter 16 - Premonition

Hoyt had left a couple of hours after he had arrived, drunk and unable to stand so Rosa and Vaas had to help him to the chopper. He was pulling on them both, insisting he could walk fine by himself but Rosa just ignored him. They sat him in the chopper and Rosa pulled on his seatbelt.

"You're both really good together." he slurred, "Like, really, really good. Make her your w-wife Vaas."
Rosa rolled her eyes.
"Time to send you to bed, old man." she replied, kissing Hoyt's forehead before shutting the chopper door.
"This is what happens when he drinks bourbon." said Rosa and Vaas smirked.
"Marriage?" he said, raising an eyebrow, "So much for you being the virgin bride."
"Hoyt's just drunk, ignore him." said Rosa, rolling her eyes at Vaas' comment.
She looked around at the pirates, sat doing nothing as she decided they needed a bit of fun.

"Can we have a party?" Rosa asked, fluttering her eyelashes at Vaas.
"Of course. What a brilliant fucking idea. RAUL! TURN ON THE MUSIC! WE'RE GONNA HAVE A FIESTA!" shouted Vaas, "I think the Doc brought some new pills, if you wanted to try them?"
He asked this with caution as he knew how Rosa felt about drugs; it was the thought of losing herself that worried her.
Embrace it, Rosa, she thought, Vaas would never let you get addicted.
"Sure." she shrugged, taking Vaas by surprise, a broad smile sneaking onto his face.
"LET'S PARTY!"

'I Go' by Hannibal Leq pounded throughout the compound and everyone was having a good time. Rosa and Vaas danced together for a while until he wandered off. Rosa was dancing by herself in the middle of the floor, the heat of the other bodies around her taking over as she was lost in the moment, deep within the music. Vaas came back and raised his eyebrows at her. He brought his hand up as Rosa opened her mouth for Vaas to place the pill on her tongue. Rosa swallowed it and anticipated the awaited effects.
"Te amo." Rosa moaned in Vaas' ear.
"Te amo." he replied, with a kiss.

The beat picked up again and the pair started dancing until Rosa began to feel odd. The music felt heavy and the lights too bright as she felt she needed to sit down. She motioned to Vaas that she was going to get a drink and he nodded. Pushing her way through the crowd, she found herself sat on the same couch where her and Vaas had gotten high a few nights ago. Rosa clutched at her head, everything going blurry and dizzy. She couldn't see straight and everything kept changing from blue to red to pink to green. It didn't feel right.

Sitting back on the couch, she stared into space. What the fuck had Vaas given her? She forced herself up and staggered towards the warehouse, one wobbly foot at a time. Her head pounded as her went weak, causing her to collapse on the ramp up to the compound, her body limp. Vaas walked quickly over to the couch but Rosa wasn't there so he stood on it and looked around. It was difficult to see in the dark and with strobe lighting but Vaas spied a body near the warehouse with a mane of blonde hair. He leapt off of the couch and ran over to it and discovered it was Rosa. He tried shaking her but she wouldn't wake up.

"Rosa! ROSA! Wake the fuck up, what are you doing?"
Vaas shook her again but she wouldn't make a sound.
"Fuck! Rosa, come on! Say something!"
He scooped her up in his arms, bridal style and Raul jogged over.
"What are you doing man?" he asked.
"What the fuck was in those pills, hermano? The ones the Doctor gave?"
"I'm not sure man. Why is Rosa sleeping?"
Raul was a little drunk and high and he laughed to himself.
"I'm serious, what the fuck was in those pills? Something has happened to Rosa!"

Vaas was becoming panicked and groaned at Raul's lack of help. He took Rosa into the warehouse and lay her down on the new but messily made bed, where Rosa was perfectly fine a few hours ago, screaming his name in pleasure. Vaas grabbed a mobile from his dresser and pressed '2' as the Doctor was on speed dial. The thudding music could still be heard through the warehouse.

"H-Hello? Vaas? Why are you calling at this time?" Doctor Earnhardt asked, groggily.
"What the fuck was in those pills you gave me, Doc? The red one? Rosa has had one and she's passed the fuck out."
"The red ones you say? Those were a higher dosage for yourself, Vaas, as a more experienced user. Has Rosa taken drugs before?"
"Only weed. Is she gonna die?"
Vaas glanced at Rosa, who still lay unresponsive on the bed.
"No, she'll be fine. Her body is not used to the dosage so she's just sleeping it off." yawned the Doctor.
Vaas relaxed.
"Right, okay. If anything happens to her, you're dead."
Vaas put the phone down and sighed. He rubbed his fingers between his eyes and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Citra! Vaas and his pirates are killing our men, our people! Something must be done!" exclaimed the dark skinned man.
"I'm thinking, Dennis."
Citra sat on the floor underneath a tree within the temple.
"What are we going do about the girl?"
The man no identified as Dennis sat down next to Citra. She turned her head to him and then turned back.
"You worry too much, Denis." Citra sighed.
She didn't say anything but had her eyes closed and looked like she was meditating.
"Something is coming. Something that will bring Vaas down." Citra stated, calmly.
"What? How do you know? Vaas won't allow it, he'll fig-" Citra raised her hand and silenced Dennis.
"Vaas will be killed. It will destroy the girl, she'll be weak."
"And then what?" asked Dennis.
"It's simple. We kill her."

Rosa jolted awake again, gasping. It felt too horribly familiar. She wasn't sweating or crying but her head was throbbing like she had been hit repeatedly. She turned to look for Vaas but he wasn't there.

"You gave me a scare before, princesa. That's the last time I give you the hardcore stuff."
Vaas was sat on the old couch in his room, his legs propped up.
"Why do I always end waking up with a huge headache since I've been here?" she asked.
"It's because I have been fucking your brains out, hermana. Obviously" chuckled Vaas, causing Rosa to throw a pillow at him.

"What was your dream about this time?" he questioned, getting up and sitting on the bed.
"I think it was more of a premonition." Rosa said and Vaas spluttered.
"Hey! Hear me out, you dick."
Vaas put his hands up in defence but was still smirking.

"I saw Citra and the black man, Dennis talking under a tree. She said something is coming, something that will kill you. And then she plans on killing me herself."
"I think you've let Citra get under your skin too much, princesa." said Vaas, "There is no way in hell someone would dare fight Vaas Montenegro."
"I'm just telling you!"
Rosa slid back down in the bed and snuggled her head. Vaas ripped the cover off and Rosa screamed. He pulled her legs as she tried to kick him, laughing and shouting.
"Vaas! VAAS! Stop it!" she squealed and Vaas fell on top of her. Rosa pulled the back of his head down and kissed him which lead to a full blown make out session on the bed. Vaas tried to pull down her pants but she wouldn't let him.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Rosa teased, "Not until later on!"
Vaas pulled a puppy dog face.
"Why do you do this to me Rosa? Why must you make a man wait for his amor to give him what he needs?"
"It'll teach you not to pull me out of bed, if you want me to stay in it!"

Rosa swung her legs round and walked over to the mirror leaning against the wall. Vaas put his hand behind his head and pulled out a cigarette and just watched Rosa. She pulled some clean underwear out and slid them on, making sure that it was torturing Vaas. She looked at herself in the mirror and then put on her clothes. Rosa adjusted her hair, brushing it and then applied her makeup. She raised an eyebrow to Vaas.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." she said, smugly.
"I wish I could. I don't know how you become more belle but you do it."
"Maybe that's something we could try later." she winked, "All you gotta do is find a camera."
"Where am I supposed to find one of those?"
"You're a big boy, you'll figure it out."

They were interrupted by a loud banking on the door.
"WHAT?" Vaas roared.
"Vaas! Six skydivers have just landed on the island, you gotta come quick!"

"This just got interesting." said Vaas and with that he was out of the room.
