Chapter 10
Adrian watches the incomers with a sour look on his face, eyeing each of the intruders as they quietly make their way towards the chairs which he had no idea he had even asked to put out for the people he did not even knew were to join.
"I can understand your family being here Rom, but what the fuck is Dante and his parents doing? And how the hell even Erika made it?" Adrian asks Rom who smiles at him in guilt.
"Uh, well, you know the answer to Dante and well Enzo is one of the sponsors so Erika is obvious"
"The chairs?" Adrian asks with a raised brow.
"Of course, you cannot ask all of them to stand or sit on the ground, Rain. As a host, it will look bad for us" Scar's voice makes him turn to stare at his wife.
"And because this will be a long day, I even made sure we have enough drinks and food, no hard drinks though because it is still day time" she adds with a bright smile melting Adrian's sour mood as he wraps his arms around the back of her neck while bending to kiss on her lips.
"You are too kind, baby, none of them deserve you" he sighs and she frowns.
"But why would they deserve me when I am married to you and I am yours?" she asks making him grin as he throws his head back laughing aloud.
"Being your is not a laughing matter, Rain" Scar pouts as she pushes him away but he wraps his arms around her waist nuzzling her neck.
"It definitely is not, baby" he whispers.
************
"There is no shame left in this world" Dante sighs as he eyes Scar and Adrian.
"Kids are born naked; shame is not something they keep high on" Diego points making Dante frown as he turns towards his mother.
"Are you sure he is my father?" he asks his mother.
"Was there when she got pregnant and when she pushed you out, buddy, move on" Diego grins before Aura pulls her wings out pushing their chairs away with the flip of her wings so they would stay far away from her.
"Babe" Diego groans.
"Mom" Dante groans too but all Aura does s flutter her wings so none of them can come near her while the father and son glare at each other.
************
"That's Jean's in-laws" Emma stares at the scene ahead.
"She got wings" Henry gasps.
"Nothing compared to the one Cry has" Gio grumbles making Henry frown.
"Cry?" he asks and Gio nods as he points at Crystal and Connor making their way towards the area.
"I don't see any wings" Henry frowns.
"Only special kid can see it"
"I am special too" Henry points.
"Not special enough" Gio pokes his tongue out as he jumps off the chair and runs to where Erika was.
"Eri" Gio calls.
"I don't like him" Henry grumbles as he eyes Ana who smiles at him.
"He is not so bad, Henry you just need to know him" she states and he sighs.
"I just want to see Jean" he grumbles.
************
"I can't even" Adrian sighs shaking his head as Crystal smiles his way.
"Oh relax, you are still as grumpy as ever, I am here just to enjoy my day"
"Watching fights?"
"Watching a warrior in making" Crystal corrects as she hugs Scar who blushes as Connor nods her way.
"Get a seat" Adrian grumbles as he pulls Scar to his side.
"You are as red as your hair" he points and she fans her face.
"Must the crystally clear sun"
"That's just so Connor" Adrian narrows his eyes at her and she giggles.
"That made no sense" she points making him sigh.
"Wife, you do not get to blush with the thought of other man" he warns and she frowns.
"Okay" she nods and he rolls his eyes before he pinches her side in warning making her giggle.
*************
"Why are they half naked?" Dante shouts as he slams his palms on the chair.
"It's sunny out there" Scar explains.
"They embrace the heat"
"But sun is so far, how can you..." Scar frowns as she stares at her arms and then up at the sky.
"Red, focus, there are kids around, you cannot just roam naked"
"Do you want me to go ask Ad to hand them t-shirt?" she asks Dante.
"No, but tying them all up and throwing at the deep end of the sea is a better idea"
"Oh, after a long sunny day, dipping at the water is such a cool feeling, you are so kind to even think so" Scar smiles at Dante who sighs as he sits down before he tugs Scar's hair.
"Only you, Red, only you see me kind"
"Umm, Ad always sees you as an asshole, traitor, a fucker, cock blocker, bitch..."
"Okay, okay, that's enough Red" Dante covers her mouth.
"Okay" she smiles as they stare back at the grounds.
***********
"Jean" Emma shouts as he jumps off her chair and rush to stand at the balcony before she gets pulled back.
"No running" one of the guards warns but she just grins.
"Kick some asses and win, Jean, so you can never come back home because I now have your room as mine" she screams at the top of her lungs.
"Emma" Ana scolds the girl dragging her away.
"She cannot hear us" Henry sighs as Jean makes no movement to stare at where they were.
"None of them can hear or see us" Rom explains before he points at the invisible shield.
"Bummer, she cannot see my sparkling face" Dante states as he stands next to Rom.
"Make sure your sparkling face stays far away from Adrian before he goes blind and starts to kick you" Rom warns.
"Just hurry and end this show, my mate needs to see me" Dante huffs as he walks away.
***********
Jean rolls her neck before she stretches to loosen her muscles, she looks around the area to find few of the other doing the same being ready for the competition. It was an easy task but just in words, all they had to do was reach the top of the mountain and whoever reaches first will win but that does not mean it would be an easy task.
"You sure you don't need a protector, Jeanette?" Ben teases as he jogs to where she was.
"All I need is to win this game, Ben" Jean replies making him grin.
"Maybe you should loosen up a bit, you know" Ben points before he steps away as Jean swings the sword in reply.
"That's my baby" Dante cheers as he jumps off his chair with a grin.
"If you are going to shout every two seconds, Dante" Adrian sighs while Dante stares at Adrian with a big grin.
"If you don't want me to go there and tear the boy apart, you better let me cheer for my girl" he states shutting Adrian.
Dante gets back on his seat as the whistle blows and a command for the kids to gather up as the game begins is announced, unaware of the fact that they can be clearly heard and seen by everyone.
"There is only one rule, there is no rule" Romano shouts as he steps out of the sight letting the kids start on their own.
Jean frowns as someone pushes past her rushing towards the mountain, so she starts her journey too.
"You heard Rom, there are no rules" Ben voice makes her frown as she turns to find the boy walking behind her.
"Good, now can I focus on the task at hand?" Jean asks.
"You know Jeanette, you can try to not be a bitch and maybe things will get easier for you"
"Or maybe I don't like things when it gets easy" Jean replies.
"That boy cannot take a hint, can he?" Dante grumbles as he watches the scene.
"Ssh" Scar hushes as she slips to sit at the edge of the seat.
"Well don't say I did not warn you" Ben shouts making all the viewers frown as the boy steps back before he disappears.
************
Jean jumps up to grab the branch of the tree and swings to stand on it, eyeing around she keeps her eyes on others to pin point them, so she can avoid them, keeping her distance. She goes to jump down only to gasps as something hits her on her back making her fall down but before she could hit the ground, she gets a grip and lands on her fours.
"Run" someone grins and Jean stands up to ask who he was only to stop as she hears few growls and snarls.
Looking around her she finds two wolves stepping out of the bushes.
"There is no rule, Jeanette" Ben's voice echoes making her look around before one of the wolf jumps in the air to attack her she stumbles back as the wolf jumps above her.
She looks around for her sword that fell down somewhere when she was pushed down only to find it in hand of the boy who pushed her down.
"Looking for this?" he grins showing his fangs and she narrows her eyes.
"Ganging up on a girl, very manly" she points before she grabs a handful of sand and throws towards the wolf who jumps back which gives Jean a way to run away.
"Grab her"
Jean picks few stones on her way; she throws it back towards the wolves that follows her. Taking a turn, she stands behind the tree before she jumps to stand on the tree branch. One of the wolf jumps to grab her from the branch but she jumps atop the branch before she swings from one tree to another, trying to get away from the group.
"You cannot always hide, dear Jeanette" Ben shouts as Jean keeps running away as she knows four of them were too much for her.
*************
"What do you mean by we cannot go in?" Dante shouts at Adrian.
"The game in on going"
"They are ganging up on her"
"Let her tackle it"
"She needs to be alive to tackle them, it's four against one" Dante snaps as he watches Jean fall off the tree as she steps in a weak branch.
Dante grits his teeth as Jean groans in pain as she falls down on the ground, hurting her arm. Jean grits her teeth as she gets up and looks around wondering where she was and hoping those boys were not close.
She looks around before she finds a strong stick, swinging it around she moves away to put as much distance as possible only to be surrounded by them again.
"You cannot run you know, with four senses focused on one scent" Ben grins as he walks out.
"I don't have any scent" Jean points making Ben grin widen.
"Smell yourself carefully" he states making Jean frown as she touches her back where she was hit before.
"If you don't have one, we thought to give you one" Ben states and Jean stands in her fight mode.
"Whoa, whoa, relax, we just wanted something and then we can both go our own ways" Ben raises his hands up.
"I have nothing to give away"
"You do, how about the fact you disappeared in middle of nowhere when we all were hunting you down that first day" he asks and she narrows her eyes at him.
"One second we were behind you and the next you disappeared"
"You were one of those boys who were attacking others?" she asks with a frown.
"How did you disappear Jeanette, what was behind that fog?" he asks and Jean shakes her head no.
"Something you will never get to see" she growls before she swings wooden stick and he grabs it with his hand.
"You don't learn, do you?" he asks before he jerks the wood and kick her on her stomach making her groan as she falls back.
"Finish her" Ben asks as he throws the wood on the ground.
Jean goes to stand but one of the wolf jumps to cage her down as he snarls closer to her ear putting a stop to her movement. Jean fists her hands as she moves her face away from the wolf's breath, she gulps and closes her eyes as she at once moves with her speed rolling the wolf from above her.
She shoves her hand near to the wolf's eyes throwing the sand inside as she rubs it tightly with all her strength as the wolf howls in pain while she steps off the wolf as another one runs to attack. Rolling away she grabs the wood Ben left hitting on the wolf's head splitting the wood in pieces.
She grabs the metal hair pin pulling it out of her hair letting her hair flow behind her as she stabs it on to the wolf's leg, using her speed she stabs the pin all over the wolf's legs, watching it fall down on the ground.
She turns her head around as the vampire snarls swinging her sword to attack her but she jumps off ay from his attacks. The vampire throws her sword away as he using his god like speed to grab her, but she keeps putting distance between them.
The boy throws a kick and she stabs the pin on his leg but before she could pull it out, he moves away taking it away with him. Jean hurries towards her sword, just as she reaches it, she gets pull back as the vampire grabs her hair from behind.
"Nuisance" he snarls and she slams her elbow on his side as he kicks on her knees shoving her down on her knees. Her eyes widen as the vampire grabs her head and neck to snap it, so without a second thought she reaches for her sword and swings it back into the vampire's stomach.
She feels his gasps as she pulls the sword out of his body and moves away to feel he blood ooze out of his body and splash on her feet, she does not get time to react as he moves to grab her but she uses the sword to slice him apart as his blood splashes on her body.
The splash of the blood on her makes her realize what she did as realization dawns on her along with the last breath of the vampire who gurgles and falls down on the ground with a thud as she stands frozen on the spot.
************
"Is that her first kill?" Crystal whispers as all of them stand to watch in awe.
"The first one is always the difficult one" Connor whispers as they both stare at each other.
"I think we have let this go on for far too long" Diego mumbles as he eyes Adrian.
"Warren and my betas have already moved to put a stop to this" Adrian informs.
"Where's Gio?" Ana asks as she walks in along with Scar with drinks and cookies.
"That's not important but why is Erika so silent?" Crystal asks as all of them look around to find the chair Erika was in, empty.
"Rom" Adrian calls who nods before hurrying out of the place.
"What did we miss?" Ana asks as she looks around the room before she goes to watch out but a fog fills the place making it difficult for her to see anything.
"Why don't we all move the eating inside of the house? I am sure Adrian and all will be back soon with Jean" Crystal suggests.
"That's wonderful, I even made burgers and sandwiches just in case" Scar smiles as the women hurry out of the room.
"Aura?" Crystal asks the woman who smiles at Crystal.
"I will stay here for the time being" Aura points and Crystal nods before they all walk out.
************
Jean drops the sword on the ground as her hands starts to shake, she gulps as she slowly steps back scared.
"No, no" she gulps as her knees weakens and cannot take her weight, she eyes the dead body while her body slowly falls back.
"Got you" Dante whispers as he catches her just before she falls down on the ground.
Jean stiffens in Dante's arm as she slowly turns her head to stare in his eyes.
"Baby" he whispers and she turns at once throwing her arms around his neck as tears streams down her eyes.
"I...I...."
"Shh, it's okay, it's okay" he tries to calm her wrapping his arms around her as his wings spreads out before it covers and tucks her safely inside of it.
