Pov. Valentina
Damn dumb teenage idiots.
I should tear their heads off.
Look what they did with her.
But I'm going to tear out every member of every one of them.
One by one while the others watch without being able to do anything.
I look at the sleeping girl in my arms and I look at her injury and I notice something unusual. I think I'll have to mirror his steps, this black mark around the wound on his hand is known. There is probably one or more of them around here, which explains why the guardian appeared unsolicited. She is in danger, I have been so focused on my duties and on observing the girl that I forgot to check the outskirts of the city, now I will have to redouble my care. As I approach the car the back door is opened by my guardian, the median Wolf pup in its normal form.
Guardian wolves have three forms.
The form for daily coexistence is that of Wolf, the second and that of werewolf when they are growing up and the third is that of battle where they become wild beasts and can take other forms, but this only in adulthood.
A necessary evolution, as supernatural beings evolved, so did their guardians.
I smile at him that he smells me, he probably felt the smell of blood on my clothes and is checking my physical condition, when he sees that I am well he looks towards the girl.
- She was poisoned. - I say and he growls. - Yes, that's what you're thinking. I need you to redo the girl's steps tome and find the poisoned object and be careful, you are still too young to die. - full of fun and in response my great partner since the age of fifteen runs towards the forest.
I think I was hasty when I told my mothers that they could stay in Germany to sort out family affairs.
Now I'll have to think about that better.
There's something strange here.
That the death of her parents was planned by someone I already knew, but this poison shows that there is someone experienced here watching the girl and her steps. The lavely ballard family would not be awake for long; their parents erred in thinking that not telling their children about their supernatural legacy would rid them of all the crap that has happened in our world. Hiding a legacy of this size was a fatal mistake, when isabelle's guardian showed up that night, I wondered if they really didn't know anything about our world, but I was sure they didn't when I saw a containment seal on Nick's arm in the form of a birthmark to disguise his original shape. It would be obvious to put this on the arm of a boy that you don't want to use your skills, but the reason here was to numb off any trace of supernatural skill. But they didn't have time to do that with isabelle, the girl is about to turn eighteen, her genes are coming up, if I hadn't interfered those two times when she argued with the resentful blonde and the cow-covered cowboy of the American football team, she would have lost control and I wouldn't want to stay to know which of her abilities was coming up first.
I hope it's all they said it would be.
I will not be the only one to carry a heavy burden on my back.
We are heirs to two legacies.
The first supernatural beings.
And then there's the main thing, which I hate to mention.
I look at the girl on the next bench and sigh, everyone has a choice, but we are both born with no choice, our destiny will take us into the unknown. I focus my attention on the road and accelerate to get home faster, I hope Mr. Griffin is already there and with the object poisoned. I take one hand off the steering wheel and check the girl's temperature, she's getting a fever. I hurry to get home soon to take care of the girl next to me. Thanks to my mothers I have been trained for all kinds of situations, dealing with poisoned people is one of them. Isabelle is not the first or the last person I see poisoned, but this black mark on her hand tells me it can only be a thing of those cursed worms. As soon as I stop the car in front of my house, I let go of the girl and carry her into the house, take her to my room and lay her on my bed. I leave her comfortable and then go out to get the necessary items to take care of the girl, take advantage and send a message to my uncle that at this time he would still be commanding Nick's team, I asked him to tell the boy that his sister is well and with me, so he could concentrate on his departure. I climb towards my aposentos and when I enter it I see my best friend in his form of a werewolf holding a stick.
- You shouldn't walk like that during the day just to jump the window of my room Mr. Griffin. - I complain and he returns to his Wolf form and then takes the stick with his teeth and brings it back to me, I take the stick and analyze it. - Verraten. - I recite the spell of revelation and the stick turns into an arrow with the symbol of the clan of those ridiculous.
As I suspected.
They are here and from what I see isabelle is the main target.
I'll have to spend more time close to the girl and her brother.
- Stay down there waiting for my uncle, but first check the house next door and the surroundings and release isabelle's guardian. - I say and the Wolf jumps out the window.
Good boy.
Guardians are beings who have never inhabited the earth.
They are rare beings that only the most powerful lineages can possess.
I focus my attention on the girl in my bed and then put the arrow in my drawer. I remove the glass with the old stuff, alcohol and first aid items and put it in the free part of the bed, then I go to the bathroom to fill the basin with water, then I go back to the room and start to pass the mocked cloth through the arms filled with earth of the girl, then clean first her good hand, then I start a more careful cleaning in her injured hand. I notice how strong she is, this girl hada goal and even after having taken a poisoned strap in her hand, she didn't retreat, ignored the pain and went her way. I take the alcohol to clean the wound and analyze her apparently serene face, different from when I met her and the other times we met, always retreating, avoiding contact and dialogue. Surely she has gone through some difficult situation other than the death of her parents, she doesn't trust people and something tells me that this has to do with what those idiots at school say about her. I finish cleaning the injured place and then I take the insect and pinch three drops, it would take a while for the black mark to regress, so I made a dressing and bandaged her hand carefully to prevent her or any other person to smell where it should not, at least until the insect starts acting. As soon as I finish I separate some of my clothes and leave them next to the girl and then cover her with the sheet. When the antidote starts acting she will wake up and need to eat, so there is no better way to wait for the girl's awakening than doing something to eat. I don't know how long I spent preparing dinner, I just know that I exaggerated in the amount of food, because my intuition said that someone else would come along with my uncle, probably Nick. As soon as dinner is over and I hear a movement upstairs, I concentrate on finding out where upstairs the noise comes from, but the familiar smell of my neighbor makes me relax. Finally she woke up, it makes me look at the hours and see that it's already seven o 'clock, the game must be over, I hear more movements in my room and then a water noise, she's taking a shower. I climb the stairs quickly making as little noise as possible, enter my room and get some clothes for myself and then go to the bathroom in the hallway and take a quick shower, get dressed and then go down to tidy the table for us to eat. I put the table fast using my supernatural speed to move the items from the kitchen to the dining room and it doesn't take long for a car noise parking in front of my house to get my attention, focus my smell on the smells and my hearing on the amount of heartbeats, five people, my uncle, Nick and I think six friends, but the smell of that red girl is not present.
She didn't come.
Strange.
The door is open and I hear low voices and I smile putting five more dishes on the table. It doesn't take long for my uncle to arrive in the dining room with the unexpected guests.
- Good evening, my dear niece. - says my uncle approaching me and then kisses my forehead.
- Good evening to all. - I say polite and the four standing at the door smile. - I've prepared a very typical Munich dinner for you to taste a bit of German cuisine. I hope you enjoy. - complete and they look at the table set for seven people.
- Wow, we came from the inside and will win a German dinner. - the latin says that if I am not mistaken his name is Jensen.
- Yes, I can't wait to experience all this. - says the brunette looking at the varieties at the table.
- Feel free to taste the loaves while we wait for isabelle. - I say looking at Nick that he was looking at everything carefully, but he looks at me when he hears his sister's name.
He's interested in the memory shelf that my mothers make a point of showing to their guests.
But I don't.
- You can go there and look. - I say and he denies.
- It would not be polite of me and I sincerely am more interested in seeing my sister and know how she is. - says and I sign.
- She's fine now, I took care of her. - I say and he smiles weakly.
- Thank you, it means a lot to me to know that she has someone good and who really takes care of her. - he says and I notice a familiar tone.
Tom of guilt.
Something really happened to isabelle and he feels guilty.
- Do not be thankful, your sister is a strong girl and this will still be clear to everyone. - I say and hear steps on the stairs.
- This bread is very good and with this sauce it tastes much better. - says the brown and if I remember correctly his name is Henry and the brunette next to him Sasha.
- We are glad you are enjoying. - says uncle fergus sitting at the table.
It does not take long for isabelle's voice to become present and this cheers up the guests.
- Valentina ? - she calls me and I go towards the stairs and as soon as I appear in her field of vision she smiles awkwardly, because I analyze her from top to bottom seeing how good my clothes were in her.
- I see that my clothes have served you well. - I say offering my hand to her who accepts. - I think they got better on you. - complete and I see her turning her eyes.
- You are not good with compliments. - he says and I smile.
- I wasn't really praising you. - I say and she raises her hand to hit me more and makes a face. - is it hurting a lot ? - I ask the guide towards the dining room.
- No, only when I move my fingers. - answers and I sign and when we appear at the entrance of the dining room Nick runs to hug his sister and I move away to make room for the two.
- Sorry Izzy, I tried to go after you, but the coach did not let. - she says she moves away to look at her sister and notes her bandaged hand. - You got hurt. - exclaims analyzing the girl's hand.
- Okay, you couldn't lose this game, I'm glad the coach didn't let you miss a chance of some undercover scout seeing the talent you have. - says the girl smiling and my uncle laughs drawing their attention.
- I told him so. - she says she gets up and then goes to the girl. Fergus Leblanc, Valentina's uncle and coach. - complete by extending her hand to the girl who accepts and when she shakes her hand she turns it and kisses the girl's hand and the girl makes a funny face.
Great.
He's being a traditional old man now.
- He also did it with me and I also did this same guy, but I found it cool, gentlemanly and rare nowadays. - says Sasha and my uncle smile.
- And a pleasure to meet her. - my uncle tells the girl to settle down.
- How about having dinner just before the food cools down ? - I question pulling a chair and then I look at isabelle who seemed lost to see her friends here. - Please sit here. - I ask and she settles and does it, then I go to my place.
- She pulled the chair to her, because you are not like Valentina ? - question the brunette looking at her boyfriend who was attacking the bread.
- Because we are different people. - answers with his hand over his mouth.
- A little chivalry is good, you know ? - she says angrily sitting down and everyone laughs.
- My baby Yoda, can you tell us now what made you run away and how you got hurt ? - asks Jensen and I look at isabelle who looks at me.
Maybe she wants to talk about that.
I must help her.
- Well, it was... - I try to say more she interrupts me.
- Okay, I think I have to be honest. - he says looking at me and I sign.
- In this case my uncle and I will leave so that you can talk freely. - I say getting up and my uncle does the same.
- No, you helped me, it was not the first time, you can stay. - he says and I deny.
- This is a matter of family and close friends, I will not be comfortable here, when they finish warning. - I say and I leave the room quickly to give the girl no chance to hit.
I go to the office with my uncle coming right behind, as soon as we go in I close the door and look at him.
- So what's the situation ? - he asks and I sigh.
- They are here behind isabelle and probably Nick too. - I answer and he leans on the wall and scratches his beard.
- They may be behind you and not them, the two are not yet detectable to beings other than those who know who they really are. - he says thoughtfully. - The Floda Reltih may have tracked you here and their approach may have caused them to attack the girl to try to reach you, but they did not imagine that she would not be knocked down by a poisonous arrow easily. - complete and I sign.
- Do not know, we should check this uncle and summon the families of the clans living here to alert everyone about possible intruders in the city. - I say and he settles down.
- Of course, but first let's look for evidence, we can't summon the council here without having proof. - he says and I turn my eyes.
- I think the arrow that poisoned isabelle is good. - I say and he faces me.
- Do you think so ? - question and I deny.
- griffin thought, I had to take care of the girl. -
I answer and he settles down.
- Okay, I will take the arrow with me and call the council. - says and I sign.
- It is in my room in the first drawer of the dumb servant. - I say and he settles down.
- Say goodbye to everyone for me. - he says and I sign seeing him leave the door.
I call griffin through our psychic link and it doesn't take long for him to respond.
* Connection On
- Griffin, keep an eye on fergus, but don't let him notice your presence, take isabelle's guardian with you, I'll take care of the ballard family until you return. - I say and wait for your answer.
- Sure lady, and do not die, you are still very young and have much to live. - he says mockingly.
Off connection *
Bold Wolf.
I'm going to leave him without food for a week.
I smile as I leave the office and then my uncle passes by me, I look at him walking to the door in a hurry, I think about going to the window, but the voice isabelle catches my attention.
- Valentina ? - call and I look to the side seeing the girl next to me.
- Yes, miss hand pierced ? - I ask her in fun and she turns her eyes.
- Idiot, come dinner. - answers and then goes back to the dining room.
I just follow her in silence, as soon as we arrive we sit down and start dinner. I watched them talk excited with each other, isabelle did not talk as much as the other four, but she interacted, since I just found fun the way they are with each other, after all I was raised as a robot, the only affective bond I have and with my guardian and my mothers Emma and Genevieve. But while one and the other forced me to train day and night to be the best in all senses, if I showed any sign of weakness she would throw me into the pit of the burnt vipers. Genevieve has always been hard on me, but I can understand that she was only afraid that I would falter and be killed, she couldn't always protect me, so she assured me that I would know how to deal with anything. Bottom chew a piece of meat and I see isabelle take the fork and knife to the meat and swallow the food fast.
- None of that. - I say drawing everyone's attention. - You have a deep wound that will take time to close, if you eat this meat will take even longer, I've prepared another meat for you, I'll take it. - I get up completely.
I go to the kitchen and take the tray inside the oven and take it to the living room. I stand at your side and leave the tray at your side.
- Now you can eat. - I say and when I sit she is facing me and I do the same.
- Look what care, because you're not like Henry ? - claims sasha calling everyone's attention.
- Okay, I'll take you to dinner and be a gentleman, only give me three days to learn how to be this way. - says the nervous brown and I smile.
- I can help you if I want, I took etiquette lessons from six to fifteen. - I say he opens his eyes.
- I don't want to spend so many years learning that. - he says in haste, making me laugh.
- I will teach you the basics and essentials. - I say and he settles down.
I like those three.
And from what I see they are the two brothers' childhood friends.
- So, we want to thank you for taking care of our plebeian princess. - says Jensen smiling.
- No need to thank you, I would do everything again if I could. - I say and I feel isabelle look at me, but I do not return.
- And seriously, as I said before, it meant a lot to me and to everyone here as well. - says Nick and I sign.
- I think that after that you were approved percent come to be part of the group of crazy people in the city. - says the brunette and I smile.
- It will be a pleasure. - I say and continue the dinner.
They talked about the game during the rest of the dinner, only isabelle and I were silent at one time or another looking at each other, but none kept in touch. So when they were all done, I introduced them to my game room and movie theater and left them at ease and went to take care of the dishes. I was so focused on putting the dirty dishes in the dishwasher that I didn't even notice isabelle's approach and when I turned around I saw the girl leaning on the door looking at me.
- Do you want something, are you still hungry ? - I ask and she denies. - So you came here to taste my kiss ? - I ask sarcastically and she smiles without showing her teeth as she sits on the bench and supports her arms on the bench.
- I'm sorry, but your European charm doesn't work with me, sorry to disappoint you, I know you really wanted to feel those lips here. - he answers with a beak and I deny with my head smiling.
- Hum... We go back to the farps, but apparently now they are farps in flirtation forms. - I say and she denies.
- You who came with this one, I just returned, so I can assume that you are like me and are trying to make it seem the opposite of it. - he tells me to laugh loudly.
- Isabelle. - I say her name slowly and approach her leaning on the bench getting very close to her who does not retreat, just faces me. - I do not have time to afford to stay with someone or feel attraction, I am focused on more important things and I know that such matters are also not fixed first on your list of interests. - complete and seated.
- Yes, love is not what I want here. - she says and I walk away and continue what I was doing before she appeared.
- So what do you want here ? - I ask and I hear her sigh.
- To know if you were serious at dinner. - she answers and I quickly see that she is serious.
- About ? - I question.
She remains silent for a few minutes before responding.
- When you said you would do everything again. - he answers and I notice something in his tone of voice.
What I said hit the girl.
I may have touched the wound unintentionally.
- Yes, I mean it isabelle. - I say firm and sincere and she looks at me seriously.
I didn't lie when I said I would do it again.
I didn't do it because it's my duty, actually I don't know why I did it, but I did it and I know I would do it again.
- The last person who said something like that, turned my life upside down, what was heaven turned hell. - she says and I approach her and put my hand on her.
- With time you will discover that I am not an ordinary person like the others. Words have power, we should not use them lightly, if I said I would, you can be sure I would really do, I don't like lies, the only lie I told in my whole life was for you that day in the school cafeteria where I helped you with your brother. - I say serious and she twists her lips.
- Excuse me, I shouldn't be filling you up with this, I didn't come here just for that. - he says And I take my hand out of yours. - I came to thank you, if it were not for you, I would be fallen in my parents' grave until now. - go on and I smile.
- You kicked my elbow, it was an evolution for all mares in the world. - I play and she laughs.
- I'm trying to be sociable with you. - says and I sign.
- Sorry, I'll take you seriously now. - I say and she turns her eyes. - You should not believe what those idiots say. - complete and she looks at me.
- You can't imagine what they said. - says lowering his head.
- I've heard everything and I don't believe in anything, your parents loved you and you and everything in your brother's life, he loves you too much, don't let the poison of that little group of cheap movies confuse you. - I say and she looks at me. - You are strong, I imagine you endured many things that other girls would have gone crazy if they had gone through at least half of it. - serious continuity.
- I do not know about your past, but if you want to know, sometimes the most painful memories are not those that one day made us cry, but those that have already made us smile. It is normal to feel insufficient isabelle, because most of the time what hurts the most is to wake up and see that certain things we have experienced were illusion, that we were easily deceived or that we lost someone important. But we must hold on to the good and bad things and try to balance everything so as not to suffocate and sink into bitter experience. - complete and I see a tear slipping over his cheek and dry.
- Thanks. - say and then take a deep breath.
- Okay, come on ? - I ask myself turning to close the machine and when I turn my attention to it, it sits down and goes forward. - Aaah, by the way, if I turned your life upside down it would be in the right direction, because you would be with the best, most beautiful and fucking in the world. - full laughing.
- The mouth is silent. - he says laughing.
Isabelle.
Hardly knows what awaits you.
But I'll be here with you.
I'll be the best friend you need.
