1829 Words
IVY'S POV
I'm so frustrated right now.
How am l supposed to talk to Nona?
Gosh what are you gonna do, Taylor?
So, I gotta get unconscious. But, how?
Maybe I should hit my head with a stick.
«Hit your head with a what?» I heard him say.
I paced around the room.
or maybe I'll bump it into the wall.
«Are you really gonna ignore me?» He said again through our weird thought-link.
maybe, the pan would be easier than the stick.
I walked out to the balcony.
«Come on, this is childish and dumb» He said again.
«Oh really, should I tell what's extra dumb?You. I am trying to meet my dead great great grandmother whom I never met, I don't think even Mom met her. Why?because I need to get information from an alive, whole and heathy person who claims that I should trust him.» I said directly.
«Can I come in?» He asked rather politely too politely actually for the Alpha Vamp Raymond Hart.
«It's your house and your room» I retorted stating the obvious.
«But you are in it» He said.
I stayed silent.
I leaned on the railings enjoying the view. I took a deep breath.
«ok, I'm coming in»
"So...You really want to know what I meant earlier on?" He said outloud leaning beside me.
I ignored him and kept looking forward.
"Now, who is the annoying one?"He said again.
"Look,if you are gonna talk, better start talking" I said retorted angrily.
He stayed silent.
So did I.
It's so annoying, cause I like just met this guy and I have told him literally everything I know because Nona said so and here the asshole is trying make me look dumb and stupid. I blurted completely forgetting the situation.
He smirked and took my arms.
I felt a really weird sensation.
"Look, telling you this can make you leave and I do not think that's the best thing to do right now, at least not with Diego moving around freely." He said softly for the first time since I have met him, today actually.
"So, smarty-pants, what's the best thing to do right now" I asked. He left my hands.
"lay low for some time, You have to make everyone believe that you are missing" He said turning his back and folding his arms.
"But Dad will be worried" I said.
"Exactly, your Dad!" He exclaimed.
"My Dad?"
"Well, you have to meet with your Dad and convince him to tell the Press that one of his rivals is responsible for this" He replied.
"I am not sure he will agree, besides which rival would do that?"
"He does not have to give a name and you are all he has got, I do not think he will rather risk putting you in danger than telling a little lie to people he does not care about" He spoke.
"Okay, so let me call him." I said looking around for a phone.
"No! Do not make any phone calls" He commanded making me jerk.
"Why?"
"Diego Cavalero has the ability to hear from only one mile away, so while he will be here, he would hack into the landlines and phone networks, probably would have gotten yours by now." He replied. "Calling him would only inform him of our plan and that would be risky, so you will meet your Dad in person"
"So, let's go then"
"we need to find Diego's hideout first"He said.
"So, I should just wait?"
"Go take a shower, let me get a disguise for you" He said, leaving the room
"Wait, disguise?" I yelled.
Which he ignored again.
I just went into the bathroom, heated the water before taking a nice bath.
I got dressed and went downstairs.
I took an apple from the refrigerator and was eating when Damien walked in wheeling a wheelchair with a box on it.
"What's that for?" I inquired.
"Put this on" He ignored and said.
This Bastard.
He smirked again.
*RAYMOND'S POV*
"Go take a shower, let me get a disguise for you" I said, leaving the room.
"Wait, disguise?" She yelled.
"Damien please I need you to order a wheelchair and some old lady's clothes from Astoria and make sure it get here in the next 10 minutes" I requested.
"O..kkkk" He said.
"Ryder?" I called.
"what do you want from me, asshole!"
Ryder replied. Wow, the audacity of this son of a b***h.
"What is your deal?" I asked.
he stayed silent.
"Suit yourself" I said plainly. "So, you can't get through to her wolf?"
"If I could I'm really sure, you'd have known" he retorted.
"grumpy" I said.
"Raymond, the package is here, these vamps are really fast"Damien said.
"Take It inside" I ordered. He wheeled it in.
We met Ivy eating an apple by the kitchen island.
"What's that for" she inquired.
"put this on" I said.
«This bastard»
I could not help but smirk on hearing that.
She ignored me and kept on eating her apple.
"Em... what is for lunch chef Damien?"
she said.
Damien quietly nodded and I simply walked out and sat in the living room.
«Took you long enough» she said.
IVY'S POV
"Em... what is fo lunch, chef Damien?"I asked walking towards the fridge to take some water.
Raymond left the kitchen and headed to his gigantic fancy living room Took you long enough.
"You know I have never seen someone frustrate Raymond so much"Damien started. "Trust me, I kinda like it but just please put this on"
"Damien, you are the sweetest person in this house...." I began.
"Thank you" He replied.
"But, there is no way in hell, I'm leaving this house dressed like an old lady about to die, you know I kinda think he's just trying to frustrate me but I won't be frustrated."I said.
"Are you always this rebellious or is it just this once?"He inquired.
"He should not always get what he wants" I replied.
"So, your mind is made up, what would you rather wear?" he asked.
"Thanks for asking" I said.
RAYMOND'S POV
As I sat, I tried not to be pissed.
"You know she's different, dude" Ryder said.
"Meaning?"I asked.
"You can not just control her like you do with others" He said.
"I'm not controlling her, asshole" I replied.
"Think again" He replied.
"Ok, maybe just a little but I know what I'm doing, she is supposed to follow my lead but she ignores me, disobeys me, flouts my instructions and it's so annoying, She will definitely be punished" I said.
"Ok, hold your horses, handsome, for a minute, I felt you were whining but punishment is a bit extra don't you think?" Ryder said.
I stayed silent.
After a few minutes, Damien showed up beside.
"She gave conditions" he said.
"Conditions??, How does this risk benefit me exactly?" I said.
Damien gave this 'Get serious' look.
"She says it's better to disguise as detectives, which makes more sense to me" Damien said.
"How?"
"Well, going as patients would need to follow procedures besides her already thinks you are one, so?" he said.
"Go on with her plan, let's get this s**t done" I said.
"I already ordered our outfits" He said.
"This is so dumb" I said.
"You suggested it" Damien reminded me.
I ignored him.
"let's play, been a while" Damien said handing me a PS 5 video game joystick.
"what's for lunch?" I asked after the second game.
"I dunno, Ivy's cooking" He replied.
"Can she cook?" I asked.
"As a matter of fact, Yes I can" She retorted angrily. "Damien please come help me set up"
"Ok" He replied.
IVY'S POV
"What's for lunch?" Raymond asked after they finished one round.
"I dunno, Ivy's cooking" Damien replied.
"Can she cook?" Raymond asked.
"As a matter of fact, Yes I can" I retorted angrily. "Damien please come help me set up"
"Ok" He replied.
I went back to the kitchen, Damien followed behind.
"You two really got a lot of talking to do"
Damien said.
I kept stirring the food.
"I think your friend needs to work on his people relationships, I get it that he wouldn't need to relate with humans but damn, he's got a problem" I said furiously.
"Well, Raymond isn't exactly the type that talks to people, he barely even talks, I'm sorta like his mouthpiece, if that makes sense" Damien said.
I leaned by the kitchen sink waiting for the food to get ready.
"So, you are saying that the reason why he doesn't know how to talk like a normal person is because he barely talks" I inquired.
"Yeah, I think" Damien said shrugging his shoulders.
I turned and kept on washing the utensils I used in cooking.
"So, how the hell am I supposed to work together with someone who can't be straight forward and plain, speech wise, I mean I just finished my college education, I can't come out here and be forced to be calculative just for some weird dude" I blurted.
"em....." Damien coughed.
I turned to see Raymond standing right behind Damien. He walked towards the kitchen counter and took a seat beside Damien right opposite mine.
"Damien, we'll continue this discussion some other time" I said warranting a chuckle probably from Raymond.
Ding ding
The door bell rang.
"I think the delivery has arrived, I'll go get it" Damien said.
I nodded and began dishing out the Spaghetti and meatballs, served for Damien and I before serving Raymond's.
"Thanks" Raymond said to my surprise.
"You're welcome" I said
Did someone hit his head with an axe?
I thought.
He chuckled softly.
"So, here are our outfits, this is gonna be fun but I kinda feel like a third wheel" Damien said.
I sat down and began eating while thinking.
I've heard that before. Jade!! She said that but when? Oh! during I and Leo's date.
"Who the hell is Leo?" Raymond said.
"Leo?" Damien asked foolishly.
"He is my ex, why are you asking?" I replied, taking a forkful of spaghetti.
"em.. you guys, still here" Damien said.
"Cause, anyone can be a form of bait for Diego" He retorted.
"Why didn't you ask about Jade then?" I inquired.
"Who's Jade?" Damien asked.
"She is my best friend" I replied.
"Was she by any chance with you at your graduation party?" Damien asked.
"Yeah and she came around when I was at the hospital" I explained.
"s**t!" Damien and Raymond chorused.
and Raymond hit the table.
"What?" I asked.
"Well, Diego Cavalero is the devil's incarnate, he can do absolutely anything to get what he wants and that includes using a relative to get you " Raymond said with his fingers intertwined.
"He won't get your Dad due to the high security, trying to avoid any more attention and the fact that everyone feels something strange happen at your graduation party" Damien added leaning forward.
