26 REIGN OF EMILIA- "Oh mein schönes Haar!"

"Hair is the richest ornament of women." ~Martin Luther King

Previously...

"Oh come on, did your mothers not tell you, that you should not point guns at a lady?" Emilia gives them all I cheerful smile, then suddenly shoots two of them in the skull. Three rounds, and A few men tries to fire at her, but she quickly dodges then all, breaking the hands of the men who fired. Five down, five more to go, with only three bullets.

Emilia decided to take a risk and use her last three bullets to kill three other men. Leaving two more men carrying pocket knives, while Em was all out of bullets.

"Well, well." she says, "This should be fun."

••••

Emilia wipes away some of the blood on her face with the back of her equally bloody hand. Well that's not helping.

"Mist, diese Arschlöcher haben sogar ihr Blut in meinen Haaren." [TRANSLATE/GERMAN: "Crap, these as*holes even got their blood in my hair."] Emilia complains.

Is she really worried about her hair when her whole body is covered in the blood of the ten men she just killed? Wow, this girl is something else.

Emilia manages to sneak out of the warehouse unnoticed with all the commotion. She exits the building and ran straight for the road.

Ace's car, along with Blain and his other men, pull up at Syrus' warehouse just in time to see a figure running like a maniac, not not after he realizes who it is.

His heart stops. ~Is that blood?~ he thought.

Ace hurriedly exited his black Mercedes maybach and rushed toward towards Emilia, who now stood like a deer caught in headlights.

"Em! Hey, hey. Are you okay?" Ace starts to approach her.

Emilia stands in front of Ace, covered in blood, smiling enthusiastically, as if she didn't just kill a dozen men. "Of course. Why would I not be?"

Before Ace got the chance to reach her, the rest of the warehouse members rushes out of the building, all armed with guns.

"Come one step closer and the girl dies." One of the men says.

"Toll, jetzt wollen mich noch mehr Leute umbringen." Emilia mutters under her breath. [Great now even more people want to kill me.]

The men quickly approaches Emilia and seizes her, holding a gun to her forehead.

"Fanculo!" Ace swears under his breath, signaling for his own men to stand down, before immediately regaining his composure. "Well, where's Syrus, the old fart, too scared to come out." Emilia's captors seemed visibly upset by Ace's comment, that's when Emilia spoke up.

"W-well, long story short, the old guy with the beer belly is dead." Emilia mentions smoothly. What she did next, shocked everyone around her. She kicks the knee of the man holding the gun to her head, causing him to wince and bend in pain, Em took this opportunity to grab the gun, a fist full of his hair, and hold the gun to his head, switching their positions.

"Now, take one step closer, and he dies."

It seemed one person did not take her seriously and dared to move forward, resulting in Emilia planting a bullet in the man's head.

A gun fight immediately broke out and in no time, all the Blood Serpents were nothing but bloody corpses.

Ace immediately rushes towards his girlfriend.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Did they do anything to you?" Ace questions, cupping Emilia's bloody cheeks.

"Pfft. Puh-leaze, as if they could even try to do anything."

Ace looks at her as if she had grown two heads. Her green skin was now red, matching her red hair.

"Well, in case you haven't noticed, you're covered in blood."

Emilia touched her hair, crying inwardly at how long it will take to remove all this blood.

"Oh, this? This is not mine."

"I can see that now, but why are you covered in blood?"

"Well, I may have defended myself a little, too well. They tried to hurt me so they just ended up, not, alive. Who are they?" Emilia gestures towards Blain and the panther men in black, all with a pistol in both hands.

"Ugh-" before Ace could respond, Blain steps forward, revealing a FBI badge.

"Agent Delgado with the FBI. We've been monitoring this gang for almost a year now. Would you be able to answer some questions miss.. "

"Williams....Emilia, and sure." Emilia answered, but in her head she thought: ~You have been monitoring them for almost a year and I took out almost half of them in five minutes, wow.~

"Rechts." Emilia mutters, skeptically, but decides not to push it. [TRANSLATION- Right]

After answering "Agent Delgado's" questions, Ace escorts Emilia to his awaiting car.

"Sorry to get your leather seats all bloody." Emilia pouted, entering the vehicle's passenger seat.

"No worries."

"So where are we headed now?" Em asks.

"Well, we, are headed to my house." Ace responds, starting the engine. The car soon rested to life.

Emilia immediately started choking on spit. "What?- just then, her phone started ringing, she lifted the scream to see the word "MUTTER" being displayed.

Emilia's heart skipped a beat, she glances at Ace, then back at the phone, she was contemplating whether to answer, but alas, no one ignores a phone call from the queen of Europe.

"Mutter, guten Morgen-"

" Schwester!" comes a tiny squeaky voice. [TRANSLATE GERMAN- Sister!]

Emilia glances at Ace, who was paying attention to the road,m ahead, before focusing on the person at the other end of the phone.

"Was? Alessa? Was machst du in dieser Zeit? und wie hast du das handy von mutter bekommen?"

[TRANSLATEGERMAN- What? Alessa? What are you doing up at this time? And how did you get mother's phone?]

"Ich konnte nicht schlafen. Also wollte ich mit meiner großen Schwester reden." [TRANSLATE GERMAN-I could not sleep. So I wanted to talk to my big sister.]

Emilia's heart warm up at her sister's comment.

"Konnte nicht schlafen? Warum ist das so? Hattest du einen Albtraum, Schwester?" [TRANSLATE GERMAN- Could not sleep? Why is that? Did you have a nightmare sis?]

"Jawohl. Ich habe geträumt, dass mir die bunten Bänder und Spielsachen komplett ausgegangen sind. Es war absolut entsetzlich." [TRANSLATE GERMAN- yes. I dreamt that I I completely ran out of colorful ribbons and toys. It was absolutley horrifying.]

Emilia breathes out a heavy sigh, then chuckles. "Oh mein! der Horror." Emilia exaggerates, sarcastically.

"I know right?" Alessa giggles. She is quite smart for a ten year old. She started speaking fluent English at just three years old. She is a major science geek, and always brags about how she will become the CEO of a successful tech company in the future, and that the whole world will be using the technology she creates. At times, she would go as far as to say, her robots are the ones that will take over the world and not Siri or Alexa.

Okay.

"Also, gib mir die Details. Hast du einen Freund?" Alessa asks quizzically. Emilia chuckles and glances at Ace. [TRANSLATE GERMAN- So, given the details. Do you have a boyfriend?]

"Nun, wenn ich es tue, versprichst du mir, es Mutter nicht zu erzählen?" Emilia asks. [TRANSLATE GERMAN- Well, if I do, will you promise not to tell mother?]

"Nein, das kann ich nicht versprechen. Sie ist die Königin, du weißt, dass niemand etwas vor dieser Frau verbergen kann." she says blatantly. [TRANSLATE GERMAN- Nope, I can not promise that. She is the queen, you know no one can hide anything from that woman.]

"Dann nein, ich habe keinen Freund." Emilia smiles, and Alessa smiles on the other side of the phone, also. [TRANSLATE GERMAN- Then no, I do not have a boyfriend.] The line went silent for a few seconds, Alessa is dozing off on the other side of the phone. Emilia notices this, and says:

"Hey Schwester. Ruf mich an, wenn du noch einen bösen Traum hast, okay?" Emilia suggests. [TRANSLATE GERMAN- Hey, sis. Call me if you have another bad dream, okay?]

"Keine Sorge. Ich werde keine Angst mehr vor Albträumen haben. Wenn die Leute in Zukunft davon erfahren, wird es schlecht für meine Tech-Firma." Alessa comments in a serious tone. [TRANSLATE GERMAN- Do not worry. I will not be scared of nightmares anymore. If people find out about this in the future, it will be bad for my tech company.]

"Haha. I hear you. Alright now get some sleep. Ich liebe dich. Sag Hallo zu Ale und Alex für mich." [TRANSLATE GERMAN- I love you. Say hello to Ale and Alex for me.]

"Ich werde. Ich liebe dich auch. Wiedersehen." [TRANSLATE GERMAN- I will. I love you. Bye.]

"Wiedersehen." with that, Emilia hung up, and takes a deep sigh.

"Oh mein schönes Haar!" she pouts. [TRANSLATE GERMAN-Oh my beautiful hair!]
