A/N~I had a hard time with this chapter, since this is another made up one after what happened in the Meltdown chappies!
Blake climbed down the stairs and towards the living room area where Michael was waiting for her. She was dressed in her casual clothing since every Friday at Rockford Hills Academy, the students are able to wear anything they want as long as they have their academy ID around their neck and no revealing clothes.
"Hey, we match kiddo." Michael said as he stood from the couch. He was wearing his chocolate brown leather jacket, along with blue jeans and his boots. Blake was wearing the same thing, but her boots were showing and they were brown combat.
"Where did you get that?" Blake questioned with her hands on her hips.
"The same place you got that." Michael replied, before walking towards the kitchen.*
"But why do you have to wear it today?" Blake questioned as she followed Michael while the ex-bank robber was getting him a glass of orange juice.
"Cause I look comfortable in it today, peanut." Michael replied, before taking a sip of his juice.
"Then why don't you look comfortable in it tomorrow?" Blake questioned, while placing her black backpack on the middle counter.
"Blakesleigh, what is the problem? We dress like this before." Michael questioned, after placing his juice down.
"The problem is that it's getting old and I'm getting older as well." Blake explained, before placing her geometry and french textbook in her backpack, which she left on the counter overnight. "We did this back in Ludendorff when I was wearing one of Daddy's old shirts as a nightshirt, and you were wearing the same one the next day when I was still in it. Can you at least walk around and dress like my lazy but loveable uncle? So, what are we gonna do?" She finishes with a question to Michael after zipping up her backpack.
"I'm guessing kiddo, you better go change." Michael answered.
"Why me? I'm not Tracey!" Blake questioned.
"Alright… You're right, peanut. We'll both change. I'll meet you in the car when I'm done." Michael said, before leaving the kitchen.
"Cool." Blake agreed, before leaving the kitchen.
Ten minutes went by as Blake walked out of the De Santa house, wearing a red vintage Cola shirt with her black leather jacket tie around her waist, the same skinny blue jeans and she changed her boots to her knee length black converse shoes. As she climbed into Michael's Tailgater, she looked at him and Michael did the same until they noticed that they wore the same red vintage Cola shirt but Blake's was a v-neck.
"Damn, Uncle M!" Blake exclaimed, as Michael laughed at the sixteen year old girl.
Touka woken up from her sleep as she heard Blake walked back into the hotel room, facing the closed door leading towards Michael and Amanda's room. Then she removed the rabbit mask, before tossing it towards the bed until Touka scream out and jumped off the pillow she'd slept on.
"Sorry, girl." Blake apologized, before placing her hands on the desk. Then she noticed the hotel's stationary notepad and pen, before she grab the black stick pen and started writing down a note.
Next the munchkin kitten pawed Blake's left leg to get her attention as she gave out a small mew. The dark haired teen looked down at the kitten before grabbing and placing Touka onto the desk.
"Can you give this to my Daddy when you see him?" Blake questioned, before Touka mew back at her owner which made her smile. Then she tear the note off and placed part of it into Touka's mouth, before placing the kitten onto the floor.
"I'm so sorry, you two." Blake whispered as she watched Michael and Amanda still asleep in their hotel bed, until the dark haired teen left out of her own hotel room, taking her keys, iFruit phone and chain wallet with her.
Then she started texting on her iFruit phone.
'Can we meet somewhere?' She texted her mother, as she walked down the hallway.
'Where my little black rose?' Macey texted back.
'Coffee at Bean Machine?' Blake texted her mother after thinking of where to meet and then she press the button to call for the elevator.
'Sure. At Rockford Hills, near Michael's house?' Macey texted her daughter with a question before Blake walked into the elevator, and the press the button for it to go to the first floor.
'On my way right now, Momma' Blake texted Macey back before the elevator doors closed.
Back in Michael and Amanda's hotel room, Touka started meowing loudly until the mother started to wake up to the sound of Blake's kitten. Then she saw Touka looking up at her, before rubbing her head gently and the munchkin kitten started pawing the note in front of her for Amanda to read it.
"What is this, Touka?" Amanda questioned, before reading the note and then her blue eyes widened. "Michael!" She shouted, waking up Michael after shouting his name.
"What? What, Amanda?" Michael questioned after jolting up out of his sleep and then look at his wife who was reading the note in her hands.
"It's Blake, she'd ran off again." Amanda explained, before handing the note to her husband.
"Christ, Blake…" Michael said after reading the note and dropping it to grab his overnight bag to find his blue jeans and his Shoulder of Orion ll movie shirt. "Baby, you stay here with Trace and Jim, I'll go look for her."
"No, let me come with you. I want to make things straight with her." Amanda said climbing out of the bed, and going into the bathroom to change into her clothes.
At Bean Machine, Blake was drinking a Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa while listening to Not Afraid Anymore by Halsey. As she was sitting outside on the deck, she started looking around for her mother until she noticed a red Lampadati Felon GT pulling up, before Macey climbed out of it after shutting off the ignition.
"Nice car." Blake complemented, before Macey sat down in front of her daughter.
"Thanks. Steve bought it for me." Macey replied, after scooting closer towards the table.
"You want some coffee, Momma? We're here at Bean Machine, just us two." Blake questioned.
"I'll order in a minute. So, have you decided on one yet?" Macey questioned as Blake taken a sip of her hot chocolate.
"Blake! Blakesleigh! Blake!" Amanda shouted out her name outside of Michael's Obey Tailgater, before Michael pulled her in. "What the hell, Michael, we've got to find her."
"Yeah, shouting like a maniac out the window gonna help." Michael replied sarcastically. "We have to think like Blake. Where would she be at… 9:27 at this time?" He questioned, before checking the time on the radio.
"There's probably her friends. Max and Lynnette." Amanda suggested.
"She's not able to see her friends until this mess clears up, babe. And besides, Lynnette ain't talking to me or even Blake after what happened to Christian." Michael explained.
"Let's try Carter's place, Michael." Amanda suggested as Michael was driving towards Del Perro Pier after passing Morningwood.
As soon as the meeting at Bean Machine was over, Blake watch her mother left in her red Lampadati Felon GT before getting back on her motorcycle. Then she felt her iFruit phone vibrate as her ringtone, Sleepwalking by the The Chain Gang of 1974 played. She noticed that Dave Norton was calling her, so she decided to answer after rolling her eyes.
"What do you want, Agent Norton?" Blake questioned.
"Now, Blake, I know you're upset with me about killing your uncle, but it was part of my job. Michael and Carter told me to get rid of Trevor and-"
"And he and my Daddy went far away me, leaving me there in that hellhole of a town." Blake said, cutting of Dave.
"Listen, they never wanted to leave you behind. With Macey in the picture, she was going to find you if she contacted the police." Dave explained. "If they found you, Michael and Carter will receive time in jail. Ethan will end up in a foster home or with Amanda. And plus me, I'll be fucked out of a job with a twenty year stretch."
"Look, I don't want to talk to you now. I have better things to do." Blake said, now climbing onto her bike.
"Not even talking to your aunt?" Dave questioned.
"No, I'm not even talking to Amanda if you're asking me that." Blake rejected, before she heard a woman's voice in the background which made the dark haired teen confused.
"Blake?" Then she can hear the woman's voice clearly as Blake's eyes widened, knowing who was it on the other line.
"Aunt Cali?" Blake questioned.
"Blake, where are you? Are you with your Uncle Michael? Are you safe in Los Santos?" Cali started asking questions to her only niece, before talking normally. "I saw what happened on the news about Merryweather soldiers attacking Michael's home, and I saw a glimpse of you in the background with him and Amanda."
"Yeah, something bad happen between me, Michael and Dad and some Merryweather soldiers, and we're hiding out at the Rockford Hills Hotel, until everything blows over." Blake explained.
"Hey, let me see you. Can you come me outside between the FIB and IAA building?" Cali questioned.
"Yeah I'll be right over." Blake agreed, before hanging up the phone. Then she placed on her teal colored earbuds in both ears, before turning on the Do Not Disturb and started playing Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. She slipped on her flaming motorcycle helmet, before starting up her motorcycle and drove onto the Los Santos streets towards the FIB building.
"Michael, she's not even answer her phone…" Amanda said, using Michael's phone to call Blake after what happen to hers. "I keep getting her voicemail. And she even updated the damn thing. Here… listen to this." She said, before placing Michael's phone on speakerphone as she dialed Blake's number until it reaches her voicemail without even ringing the phone.
"Hello, this is Blake De Santa! I'm not answering my phone at the moment, I might be hanging out with my friends, just to get away from annoying ass family... except for you Daddy. Leave a message after the beep."
"Baby, chill out. I'm on top of this. Blake can't be out in the city for no reason. It has be something which will cause her to leave."
"Maybe it's the way I treated her." Amanda suggested.
"No… it's not that." Michael said reassuring his wife. "She'll probably be at Carter's." After when he said that, he park the Tailgater next to Carter's condo before he and Amanda went up to condo and knock down the door. Then Carter opened the door, dressed in his usual pajamas while holding Charlie and feeding her a bottle.
"Mikey and Mandy, good to see you both like this." Carter said sarcastically, while Charlie was making soft cooing noises while drinking from her bottle.
"Ah, screw you, C. Is Blake here?" Michael questioned while looking over Carter's shoulder to see Yoshi looking at them, before he ran pass Carter and jumped onto Michael's knees. "Hey, buddy. Is Blakie in there, yeah?"
"Mike, she's not here." Carter replied. "I thought she was with you at the hotel."
"She's probably hiding her bike, knowing that we're going to find her, Michael." Amanda explained, while looking at her husband before Yoshi ran back into the condo after hearing Norah whistling at him.
"No, I'm serious you two. Blake hasn't text me or haven't come by her unannounced." Carter explained, before removing the now empty bottle and now patting Charlie's back over his left shoulder. "If Blake was here, I would have texted you. Like we agreed on this whole custody thing. You have her on weekdays and I have her on the weekends." He said, before Charlie gave out a loud burp.
Cali was pouring a fresh cup of rose tea for Blake as she already arrived at the plaza between the buildings.
"You want some tea?" Cali questioned before handing Blake a styrofoam cup of coffee but the dark haired teen denies it because she has already had caffeine in her system. "So… I can't believe that this is happening…" She started to say, before sitting down underneath the patio. "Michael had brought you into the world of crime. And now you're one of the bank robbers at the age of 17. Time does fly by so fast."
"Yeah, it does, auntie." Blake replied, while having her hands clasped together. "How did you know about this?"
"Dave and Stevie couldn't keep their mouths shut about you and Michael." Cali replied, after sipping her tea. "And I've also heard about Steve's little mistake. Taking my youngest sister, Marceline and cheating and using Selena. What a dick."
"Yeah, he's one total dickhead." Blake agreed.
"You came all this far, away from your mother and the hell of old town. How did you do it?" Cali questioned, changing the subject.
"I fought like hell just to make it here. I even robbed a couple of gas stations and small stores to have enough money for a one way plane ticket." Blake explained. "And I even had the help of Agent Norton to contact Michael when I arrive here in LS. He took me into his home, and treated me like his own."
"That's good. He's lucky I didn't call the police." Cali said, before placing her tea down.
"Why do you say that, auntie?" Blake questioned.
"After when you left your home in Ludendorff, my plan was to bring you to Los Santos and I can raise you on my own." Cali explained. "But by the time I was getting close to the date I was supposed to bring you here, I heard on the news saying that your mother was wounded and you were missing. Did something happen before you disappeared to come here?"
"I called the police ahead of time to create a distraction…" Blake explained, before a flashback started playing…
November 2012, Seven Months Ago…
Blake hanged up Michael's old black Motorola RAZR V3 after making the 911 call short. Then she went into the living room to see Macey past out on the couch with a few empty Straw-Ber-Ritas cans on the floor as she was snoring lightly.
As Blake watched her, she noticed her mother's red clutch wallet and then grabbed it from the coffee table.
"I stolen over $600 dollars out of Momma's wallet, to make sure I had enough to get on the plane and get a room in LS…" Blake narrated through her memory.
When Blake slipped the money into her blue jeans, the crumpling paper noise started to wake up Macey, before the dark haired teen even had a chance to notice. As soon as she placed the last hundred dollar bill into her jeans, she yelped out in pain when she felt her long black hair being pulled down while on her knees.
"So, my little servant daughter decides to steal from her own mother, eh?" Macey hissed into Blake's left ear as the dark haired teen can smell alcohol in her mother's breath. "You couldn't wait until I go to the store the next day and got some food. But now you got your mother very, very angry. And you know what happens when you make me angry, Blakesleigh. No food, no water for 3 days in the basement.
"Not anymore, bitch!" Blake retorted as she grabbed the nearest beer bottle and smacked it against Macey's face, breaking into pieces. Macey screamed out as she let go of her daughter's hair, while wiping the glass off her face.
Then Blake had the chance to run into the kitchen to grab a knife. Once she did and without a warning, Blake was punched in the nose and eye by Macey who happen to run after her while wiping off the glass.
"You've mess with the wrong wasp, bitch!" Macey shouted, and tackled Blake to the floor. Then the red haired mother grab her daughter by the throat and started choking her with a evil grin on her face. Macey laughed humorlessly before she didn't know that Blake had the knife and stabbed her in the shoulder.
"Then Momma was trying to kill me there while she was drunk, but she made a mistake…"
As Macey shouted out in pain and getting off her daughter, Blake grabbed the dishes out the sink and started throwing them down onto Macey's face and body, and even the microwave which the dark haired teen slammed into her face. Then Blake ran off with the money and into her bedroom, locking the door as she got ready to leave her home with the Ludendorff police on their way...
Present Time…
"And after that… I escaped the police and home. Made it to North Yankton International Airport, and took the flight to Los Santos, to meet up with Dave Norton. I called him as soon as I was getting on the plane." Blake explained. "But I didn't want none of this to happen. I didn't expect my mother to be back. I wanted her to go to prison for the way she treated me… And now she's back for revenge and blood. She told me if I don't kill Haines or Amanda within the week and by the end of the one hour special to Steve's show, she's planning on killing that I know…." She explained as tears were streaming down her cheeks. "Even Michael and Carter."
"Even though, my sister has changed just like your Uncle Christopher and your bedridden grandfather William, I'm always here to help." Cali explained, while touching her shoulder length ginger red hair. "But my help comes with conditions."
"Aw come on, you're an agent that I can talk too, and even my auntie!" Blake complanied.
"Blake, with me being as an FIB agent I can lose my job over helping you. A young bank robber who happens to be my niece." Cali explained. "Even though I don't like Steve and Macey paring up as an evil couple who are out for revenge, if you can lure them somewhere where you're alone. Me and Dave can have them both arrested at the same time."
"I don't think it's going to work like that." Blake explained. "Momma and Haines are hiding somewhere in the city and I don't know where they are now." Then Blake felt her phone vibrate as she received a message from an unknown number which was Lester.
'Come me meet at Murrieta Heights.'
Then Blake saw the location to Lester's house in the message, before she cut her phone off.
"I gotta go, auntie." Blake said, before standing up.
"Okay, well at least let me get you some clothes to put on. I can't have you walking around dressed like that." Cali explained, while Blake was looking at her dark clothing. "I'll let you have my FIB jacket, and I'll take you somewhere to get changed into some new clothes." She said, before getting her navy blue jacket from behind her as it had FIB in bold yellow text on the back and sleeves, and also had 'C. Belladonna' on the left side of the jacket.
Without knowing that they were watched, Steve watched them from a few floors as he watched both Blake and Cali leaving the plaza.
Time has passed, until Michael receive a picture message from Lester that shows Blake dressed in different clothes and wearing Cali's FIB jacket while facing away from the camera.
"Carter, I found Blake." Michael said,as Carter finally came out the bedroom now dressed in a grey vintage Ludendorff High School from the 1990's era with blue jeans and black boots.
"Well, where is she?" Carter questioned.
"Actually, an old friend found her. We're going to Murrieta Heights." Michael explained.
(*) You can find many of those leather jackets at Ponsonbys, which is where both Blake and Michael shop there and even Suburban.
Another OC has been invited into the main story. Meet Cali Rose-Belladonna, Blake's aunt and Macey's eldest sister and twin to Christopher which they are sometimes used in xXBalorBabeXx's stories!
What will happen in the next couple chappies now? With Blake being at Lester's house, what else can go happen or go wrong?
I based the chapter from the song Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson, as Blake was reminded of what her life was, before going to Los Santos and after when she arrived.
