Maisie’s Revenge

Being a Teenage Girl Can Be Tough

After crying her heart out to Mac, they both cleaned up the mess they made with the snacks before they said goodnight and went to their own respective room.

Maisie changed to her pyjamas then did her bathroom and skin care routine before sitting in her bed.

She grabbed her phone that was sitting on top on the bedside table. She saw a message from Enzo, she opened the message that was sent an hour ago. It is now almost 11 pm.

- how’s it going sis?

She decided to call her brother instead of replying to the message. She thought it’s best for her to speak to her brother than to text because she has quite a bit to say. Enzo picked up the phone within a few ring.

“Hey baby sis?” Enzo asked when he answered the phone. But when Maisie didn’t answer straight away he sounded concerned when he spoke again. “Maisie? Are you okay.?

“I’m fine.” She answered trying to stifle a cry that was attempting to burst. Sometimes she just hate being a teenage hormonal girl. It’s way too much to handle at times, all the emotions and changes going throughout your body is quite something. As much as she really wanted her mum to help her through with it, she was grateful for her therapist that was able to explain things that is happening to her. The trouble is, you still have to go through it either way and somehow deal with. Being able to understand why you have all the weird and understanding that it’s all normal does help.

“Are you sure?” Enzo’s voice is still sound concern.

“Yeah, I’m okay. Just missing home a little.” She answered trying to reassure her older brother.

Maisie heard Enzo chuckled and it made her smile.

“Hey! It’s not funny.” She tried to sound angry but was not successful as she ended up giggling.

“Kinda is.” Enzo teased.

“No, it ain’t.”

“Yeah, it does.” Enzo still teased.

“Stop it!” Maisie pleaded with a smile.

“You’ve only been there less than 10 hours Mais….” Enzo just couldn’t stop himself.

“Stooopppp….”she begging.

“Okay, okay, I’ll stop.”Enzo said. Maisie can envision her brother as they talk and she knows that he has a right old big smile plastered in his face.

“Good, because I have some questions for you and you have some explaining to do.” She said to Enzo.

“Okay. What’s it about?” Enzo asked.

“Did you always know that I was planning on looking for mum’s killer?”Maisie asked in a serious tone.

“Oh, that? Of course I knew, I mean who wouldn’t if their mother was killed?” Enzo answered casually.

“Did you?” She asked.

Enzo went quite for a moment then Maisie heard a sigh.

“Yes I did and I have searched for whoever it was.”Enzo almost whispered his answer but Maisie could hear the disappointment in his tone. “And I wish I had succeeded so you didn’t have to go through all that. And I’m really sorry I couldn’t find them.” He said sadly.

They both went quite for a little bit before Maisie heard Enzo let out a deep sigh.

“I have searched for a few years soon as I was old enough and every time a bounty hunter had a lead I did my best to follow it through. All of it ended nowhere or just dead ends just like with the bounty hunters. Eventually my training as the future Alpha has to take precedent and no matter how much I wanted to find who killed mum, I knew it my heart that she will be disappointed if I neglected my job and my training.” Enzo lengthly explained. Maisie can only imagine the struggle that her brother has to go through.

“Mum will be proud. She’s always been proud of you.”Maisie said with a little sniff as some stray tears flowed down her cheeks.

“Thank you. And she’ll be proud of us, not just me, both of us. But maybe just a little of me but you know, we shouldn’t compare.” Enzo said.

Even though Enzo couldn’t see it Maisie rolled her eyes. It’s so typical of Enzo that when conversation get’s serious, he would find a way to lighten it up. She doesn’t mind though and she was not offended in the slightest, she knew that her brother is just messing with her.

“Dickhead.” Maisie muttered making Enzo laugh.

“Ooooohhh, no wonder Tommy called you a potty mouth.” Enzo said laughing.

“You spoke to uncle Tommy?” She asked in surprise.

“Yes and Mandy is still pissed by the way.” Enzo added.

“What the f**k is going on Enzo? How did you know all this already?” She asked, she didn’t feel angry or anything like that. She’s just confused.

“Explain.” She said.

“Fine.”Enzo said.

“I talked to Mandy about your stay there to study, and that you probably are planning to look for mum’s killer. I just asked her to keep an eye on you. She used to run a human security firm, but when Dexter found her and introduced our world to her, which wasn’t easy apparently, but short story, dad poached her to work for him instead. She managed all the security of that compound and the DarkMoon pack and packs businesses really. Tommy is part of her network as some kind of getaway driver or something. And if you were wandering how and why Tommy told me about today, we always stayed in touch and he helped me every time I was looking for a lead in the city. London is humongous but that man knows almost every nook and cranny of that place. That’s why when he mentioned about the company he was working for going bankrupt I told him to go see Mandy.” He explained.

“I just didn’t expect for you to test Mandy’s capabilities in the few hours that you’ve been there though.” Enzo said chuckling.

Maisie just grumbled and grunted before she forcefully laid in her bed, her legs still hanging off the bed.

“You could have given me a heads up.”she said out of frustration.

“Hey, you can’t put this s**t on me. I waited for you to talk to me about what you want to do but you never did. I never asked and was hoping that you would tell me when you are ready. All I could do is to make sure that you are safe.” Enzo said, Maisie knows that he was a little upset with her.

“I’m sorry.” She meekly said.

“You are an Alpha’s daughter. Always remember that if you are out of the packs territory, you need to watch out. You don’t have to be plotting a revenge for you to be in danger. Being out there as you are puts you at risk already, you have to keep that in mind.” Enzo added ignoring her apology.

“I will. Thank you.” Is the only word she could say.

“Good- “ Enzo started to say but had a pause.

“I have to go Sis, dad wants me to check on the patrols, one of the alarm went off. But call me tomorrow, okay?

“Okay, be careful, bye.

“Bye.”

She ended the call then sat up and put her phone down on the table. She laid down in bed face planting on her pillow. She stayed like that for a moment until she struggled to breathe through the pillow. She turned around and grabbed the remote control for her room. She dimmed the lights and just remained motionless. She was just stared at the ceiling.

She is now second guessing herself. Maybe she really is too young and inexperience to go against the people who had killed their mother. It was pretty obvious that whoever made it happen is someone powerful and has resources. Going after a powerful Luna is a calculated move. They didn’t leave much evidence and they never really found out why.

All she wanted to do was find who it was and find out why. She does want their attention on her hence her going for dinner with Alex and Mac and let them know that she is looking for them. Maybe she should have incorporated the danger coming from the others though, those who’d be interested on an alpha’s daughter. That’s where her naivety and inexperience played a part.

She thought she was ready. But now, she thinks that she needs to step back and reassess. She has to get used to her new surroundings first. Get acquainted to being away from the protection of her pack territory. She is now in a new environment. She needs to use her brain and not be mislead by her heart that is driven by the need for vengeance.

If she wants to succeed. She needs to face life first outside her packs territory, she needs to learn, she needs to listen. Training is not enough, being strong is not enough.

She needs help. And she needs more time.
