Episode 4: Mission in action

2704 Words
Isabella It's been a week since that day Clinton has kissed me. Ever since that day he has not been to any classes yet. I am not sure where he is or what he has been up to. I miss him, miss seeing him and sneaking glances at him during classes or in the halls. His best friend Max doesn't even know where he is, I overheard someone ask him about it 2 days ago. I keep telling myself that it's better this way, that the distance would do me good and help me get my head on straight again. But my heart isn't agreeing to this at all, I want to find him and know he is okay. No I need to know he is okay. My head keeps wandering back to that kiss and the feelings he awoken in me. Kean has however officially asked me to be his girlfriend, and I of course accepted. It has been the biggest news on campus the past 3 days since we became official, and I keep getting glares from most of the girls. If only they knew I'm not truly interested in him that way at all. I do however find myself wondering at times how it would've been if I was though. The more time we spend together the more I like him, it's not the kind of attraction I have with Clinton, but it is there to some point. Tonight however is the first night I am going over to his house. Which is a big deal to me as it will be the first opportunity for me to snoop around a bit. "Hey Izzy baby! How's my girl doing?" Kara, my best friend comes around hugging me. "Good good, you babes?" I giggle at her and she laughs. "Yeah me too, though I must admit it's kinda boring 'round here now that the eye-candy is gone, you know?" She says pouting at me. "What do you mean?" I ask and watch her pull her face funny at me. "You know what I mean!" She raises her eyebrow and smirks at me, "First off you took Kean off the market, very sneaky you are! Finally getting into a relationship after all these years. And then well Clinton left school." I almost choke on my own spit as those words leave her mouth. "What do you mean he left school? He's probably coming back right?" I feel the nervousness wash over me, no this can't be right, no way. He wouldn't just up and leave after we kissed. Would he? Did he really leave.. I truly hurt him, didn't I? "No I heard Max tell Sammy that he spoke with him, and he moved. Completely transfered out." She sighs. I was so lost in my thoughts I never even noticed Kean engulfing me in his arms and pulling me into his chest. My mind was a mess. Moved? He moved away to escape me. This was too much, how could he just leave? Am I really never going to see him again? "Hey beautiful, I missed you." Kean kisses my forehead and I smile up to him. Even if smiling feels like the hardest thing in the world to do right now, I know I have to keep up appearances. And being in love with Kean Maske is what I need to focus on right now, even though my heart is breaking apart again. "Missed you too baby," I kiss his cheek and fold my arm into his, "everything still on for tonight?" I ask him mindlessly drawing circles over his hand as we start to walk to class. I quickly turn back and say goodbye to Kara and see her pulling a cute kissing face at me, making me roll my eyes. Kean nods, "Of course it is, I'm excited to finally let you into this part of my life. My family rarely let many people into our old family home, but it's a part of me I want to share with you." He flashes me one of his dashing smiles and I nod back. I hope I will get more chances to be in that home. "I feel honoured that you want to let me in on that part of your life," I squeeze his arm as we make our way to our seats, noticing the stares and glares we are receiving, "and I also am excited to finally spend more time alone with you." I say in my most flirtatious voice. The rest of the day went by in a blur, lecture after lecture the rumours got more and more. Clinton leaving was on everyones lips. No one knew why he left, some even went as far as to speculate that he ran off with some girl. But the last rumour I heard practically made me want to punch someone in the face, when I heard a girl say that he was seen with Levina, that she came back for him. I knew I shouldn't let any of it affect me, but it did. And I was worried about him. I got home, took a long hot shower and then got my overnight bag ready and got dressed in a pair of tight leather pants, a dark blue short sleeve blouse and a leather jacket with my combat boots. I went into my closet retrieving the wooden box from the hidden compartment and made sure to pack some spying cameras and listening devices right at the bottom of my overnight bag. This was the best way to get our eyes and ears in that house and confirm my twin is in there. It took us years to locate the Maske family and their whereabouts and I was not going to let them give us the slip again. My 20th birthday was only 3 weeks away and I knew the prophecy will start falling into place soon after, bit by bit but I need my twin at my side or the last piece would never fall into place, and Roger Maske would have succeeded. He took my sister from us to prevent it all from happening, but what he didn't know was that he took the wrong twin. He was meant to take me, the first born. The prophecy will happen with my coronation no matter what, I just need my sister to open The Talisman of Merrow with me to restore all balance back to the world. I grabbed my bag heading out when mom popped out of the kitchen, pulling me into a tight hug, "Please be careful my baby, even if they do not have their strength now, they are still dangerous people." she hugged me tighter and started looking me over. "I will be careful mom, don't worry, I have everything I need, and dad taught me how to defend myself remember?" I say chuckling at her before I peck her cheek saying goodbye. My parents did inform my that after my 20th birthday they will be making their way back to Darde to start settling into their reign again as it won't be all that long they have left before I will have to take over. It is law however that I can only take over once I am married, which should give them a few extra years to rule. But this also means I need solid proof that my sister is in that house so that we can get a warrant to search the premises. Problem is, if Roger gets wind that we know where he is keeping her that he will move her again. My father believes if they go to the throne now it will lure Roger and Kenai (Kean's mother) out to go to Darde which will give me the perfect opportunity to get into that house more. I arrive at the location Kean sent me and take a good look at the mansion in front of me, two massive silver gates keeps the mansion tucked away behind it and one of the security guards comes over to my car. "Can I help you miss?" He looks me over and into my car. I look up at him nodding, "Kean Maske asked me to come over." I politely say and see the other guard calling the house on the speaker. The guard nods his head over to the one standing next to my car and the silver gates opens for me to drive through. I drive down the road up to where I see the big white doors of the mansion and see Kean coming outside waiting for me. I park my car in front and get out, grabbing my bag. "You made it. Did you have any trouble finding it?" Kean comes up to me and hugs me, taking my bag from me as he shows me to head inside. "No the directions where easy with the location pin, thank you babe," I kiss his cheek and smile at him, "this is quite the house you live in." I chuckle. "Been in the family for generations, but it has been kept in good shape over the years." He puts my bag down in the foyer as a servant comes over bowing down to him. "Please take Miss Garcia's bag up to my room Benjamin." "Of course young master Maske." Benjamin bows down again and quickly shuffles off. Just as I see him disappear around the corner of the massive staircase leading to the second story I burst our laughing. "Young master," I say wiggling my eyebrows at Kean, "I never knew this is how you grew up." I smile at him, still trying to hold back my laughter. I knew this was something I would soon have to get use to as well, but it was weird to see it's how he grew up. I know his family is loaded, but with how secretive they are I actually expected them to not want many people working in their home. Kean starts laughing with me as he rubs his hands over my shoulder, "Still many things for you to learn about me Raine." he presses his lips into my hair and kiss my head, and I feel him relax into me. "I know I only asked you to spend the night, but my parents are out of town the whole weekend, if you would like to, you can spend the whole weekend." I see the blush on his cheeks as he looks at me excitedly. I know this is my chance, I desperately need all the time I can get in this house. Deciding to play coy I look at him smirking, "Would you like that young master Maske?" I giggle at him and he rubs his hand over his face laughing. His laughter fills me with a warm feeling as I watch his amused eyes flash over me. "Indeed I would love having you with me the whole weekend." I see his eyes travel down over my body taking me in, he slowly moves closer to me, as his hand travel over my shoulders, up to cup my cheek, his other arm snaking behind my back as he pulls me closer towards him. My body presses up against his and I feel my heart beat quicken. He looks into my eyes and I feel myself being pulled into those emerald eyes of his. His lips find mine as we meet in a deep kiss, his large hand holding my face in place as our lips moves together, I feel him licking over my bottom lip seeking entrance to my mouth and give it to him. His tongue expertly finding mine and meeting in a haste dance. I pull back for air and he leans his head on top of mine as he catches his. "Wow," He breathes out, I lean my head against his chest and feel how wildly his heart is beating beneath my face, "that was amazing." He kisses the top of my head again. "Indeed it was." I softly breath out. And I mean it, it was amazing. But nothing like kissing Clinton. No sparks, nothing. Kean is a great kisser, that is clear. But I don't know if anyone will ever give me those electrifying sparks that Clinton did ever again. He takes my hand and leads me into a massive dinning area, "So the chef is preparing dinner for us, we can either eat here or in my suite's little dinning area." He smiles at me as I look over the massive table that can easily fit 20 people. "I think I would prefer something a bit smaller," I laugh, "this seems a bit big for only the 2 of us." "That's what I thought too. Well let's head on up to my wing then." He takes my hand again and lead me upstairs. He has a whole wing to himself? Just how big is this place. I have always thought it is just royalty that has wings in their castles. Guess I was very wrong about that. He opens up a door on the left side of the stairs and we walk down a little hallway where 4 doors are, he takes me to the last one and turns the key opening up to a huge room with a separate sitting and dinning area and to the right a TV hangs on the wall with two plush white couches. I stand and stare at the place in awe. I never knew he lived in this luxury. Sure I live in luxury too, and our castle is known to be of the most exquisite sites in the world, but I never got to know any of that much. "This is my room, as you can see to the right a small TV and gaming area and to the left the dinning and sitting area. And if you follow me through these double doors," He pauses leading me straight to the two glass doors in the middle of the area, opening them up into his bedroom, "then you will find my bedroom." We walk into the room where a massive king size bed stands in the middle of the room, off to the left I see another set of double doors, I can only assume leading to a closet and to the left another door I can only imagine to a bathroom. He points toward the single door, "My bathroom is through there, you can use it or if you aren't comfortable with that, there is one on the floor if you just head out of my wing." He smiles at me before kissing the back of my hand. "Your room is absolutely stunning Kean." I squeeze his hand as we hear a knock on the door. "Come in Leo." Kean calls out and we walk over to the dinning area to have our dinner. The chef places a plate with chicken breast, steamed brocoli with blue cheese sauce and coconut rice in front of us and my mouth practically water at the smell. "This look amazing, thank you Leo." I smile at the chef and he nods at me. "Hope you enjoy it young master and miss Garcia." He takes his cart and leaves. The food was absolutely delicious, me and Kean talked about anything and everything and I tried to find out as much as I could about the house. He told me the house has 6 floors, each floor with their own north, south, west and east wing. So this place is huge. And I have a feeling I did not bring nearly enough equipment to install. After watching a movie and cuddling we finally head to bed. I lay in the bed waiting to hear the signs of him sleeping, as soon as I know he is fast asleep I sneak out of the bed and out of the room. Finding my bag and getting my equipment. I make my way out of his room, placing a hearing device and a hidden camera just inside of the passage leading to all the rooms. Then making my way out to do all the others.
