Love Your Enemy

[RushWing]

I don't want to die . . . Oh please, let this be quick- Isis then heard the men gasp and she heard a thump, as Mace hit the ground. What the? Then the men were the next few people to hit the ground. Isis realized after a minute of silence that they were all dead. But who could have killed them? Two minutes passed and she heard him. The sweet sound of his firm voice. She knew that she had to be dead. There was no way he could have found her. But he did. She didn't have any strength to do anything so obeying him wasn't a problem. She knew it was cold, but at the moment the pain in her side was more present than the bumps rising on her skin. Her vision began to darken and felt she extremely sleepy. Leon then proceeded to lift her and she winced, holding in the pain. She wasn't sure if she could be her charming sarcastic self right now. Then she heard Leon's voice. What did happen. She wondered to herself. As she opened her mouth her voice was just a whisper.


"Mace . . . She. . . I, agh, she killed my mom at the hospital, then those two police men and the other two in the suits came into the room. I know little self defense but I did what I could. Someone then shot me right as I got out. Guess it'll be one heck of a battle scar. I have no idea who killed them, but if it weren't for them I'd have a bullet in my head." She smiled. It was a tiny smile. A smile that said she was scared but she was happy to see him. "Mace said her name was really Maya Grebenshchikov, the daughter of the something . . ." Her breathing became shallow. "I don't know why but my family . . . Ever since I was little my family, well my father, always dealt with big shots and tough mobsters. We were wealthy, until someone killed my father. Now my mother's dead and I don't even know what she was trying to tell me. She said watch out for D something and then Mace . . . shot her." Isis was beginning to fall asleep again. She felt Leon's warmth as he held her. She reached up to stroke his face again. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to involve you. I'm glad you're not hurt. I'm also happy that I get to see your face again . . . I wish I" Isis began to lose the fight of staying awake her breathing lessened and her arm fell lightly onto her torso. "Leon I wish . . ." She heard the sirens in the distance. She knew she couldn't go to the hospital. She didn't want to go back, she wanted to be home. There she could cauterize her would and then sew it up herself and take pain pills and try to recuperate away from the world. But she didn't have any strength at all and now she was losing feeling in her body from the cold snow.

Leon held back a smile at the name Maya Grebenshchikov. She was a Russian mobster who had fallen off the radar before Leon and his family had been able to eliminate her. Leon remembered hunting down her father and the other head members of the organization. Its was one of the largest missions his family had undertaken. Normally missions would be done by one number, the Russian mission took three members, III, VII, and XIII. They had tore the organization down to almost nothing, removing Russian influence from the country in one fell swoop. They had hoped to get everyone but they missed the leaders daughter and other potential future risks. " Father will be happy with this turn of events," Leon thought.


Leon listened to Isis' explanation of the events. He was particularly interested in the part about her fathers connections. To Leon he seemed just like the type of man that his family would eliminate. Leon paid attention to the talk about Isis' mother's last words, but he decided not to worry about that at the moment. With so little information it would just be a waste of time to chase after something or someone so vague. It was always better to just store the information and wait until it happened to connect with something else.


Leon finally snapped himself out of his work mode when Isis brought her hand to his face. A smile touched his face when she talked about how she was happy to see him. The ambulance and police had just arrived and immediately went to work. "Don't apologize, I'm glad you did choose to involve me," Leon said " Anyway, it's fine I arrived at the end and did some bandaging," Leon said as he held the hand she outstretched against his cheek " Your the one who did all the hard work but, for me, don't so this again it's hard to find girls I like. The medical team from the ambulance ran up beside Isis and him. "I don't know what your wanting to wish for," Leon said as he helped the team get Isis on to a gurney and up into the back of the ambulance "But after this is over I promise I will make your wish come true. For now lets get you better."


Leon then jumped into the back of the ambulance. The doctors there were asking for different kinds of information and Leon gave what he knew. " You did a good job putting pressure on the wound and keeping her warm," A nurse said and he handed Leon his jacket back from off Isis " Also if I may ask, what is your relation too Mrs Isis." Leon looked at Isis for a moment before returning his gaze to the nurse. "She's my girlfriend," Leon responded.

 

[RushWing]

He's glad I involved him? Why on earth would anyone be glad? He sure is wonderful isn't he. She smiled, feeling his warmth against her skin when he held her hand. "Understood. I won't do this again." She chuckled even though it was painful. I wish to be yours. Isis wanted to be protected, wanted to feel wanted, wanted to be useful to someone. She didn't want to burden him, but she was tired of being alone. She would never say anything about this, but she would do everything to protect him and keep safe, though she could barely keep herself alive.


Her phone went off. She could hear it. It was still in the snow. The doors of the ambulance were opened so she knew it was her work calling. She was a no-show meaning she was so fired. She became an orphan and almost died. Yay, today has been so eventful. At least I woke up to David and Leon. She smiled to herself. By this time she was inside and the doors were shut. They kept asking him questions and he answered truthfully from what he knew about her, since they did just meet. "Also if I may ask, what is your relation to Ms. Isis?" The nurse asked him. Isis was on the edge of sleep when she heard it, his answer was, "She's my girlfriend." I am? Wait, no I'm not? What's going on . . . Does he know I want to be? Leon . . . Isis then fell asleep.


Isis' heart rate began to accelerate, her vitals spiked and she began to tremble. Her breathing quickened and then all of a sudden, "NO! DAD!" She awoke with a gasp. She was lost, disoriented, confused and felt this huge lump in her throat. It was hard, hot and filled with emotions. Isis wanted to cry but something hurt, something was tender. Her arms had IVs in it pumping fluids into her. As she laid on that bed, she slowly lifted her arm to try and rip the IVs from her. Last time she was in the hospital she about died. Her eyes watered and she moved her arm but the tender spot in her side made her wince. She didn't even realize that Leon was in the room as well. When she saw him, she chocked back her sob and smiled. "What's up, sexy?" She said in her smart ass, sarcastic tone. She didn't realize that her hand was pulling at the IVs.

 

[Enolx]

"I'm sorry sir you are going to have to wait out here," a nurse stated. Leon gave her an icy cold stare back. "She's not in intensive care and all you are doing is clean up, sowing, and test," Leon said flatly " I will be in that room." Leon then started to follow Isis as they pushed her to her room. " Sir your not immediate...." the nurse started to say before Leon shot her another glare "....family."


Leon watched as the doctor worked on Isis. Leon knew basic field medicine so this was something he could have done himself but, that would raise questions that Leon just didn't want to answer. Also the fact that at the time he had no equipment and only a motorcycle for transport, also steered him towards his current choice. The doctor made quick work of Isis and had her patched up and recovering in no time at all. After the doctor left Leon just spent this time holding her hand watching her sleep.


It was not long before the police cam into the room. "We were told that you were in here mister...." an officer said. "Leon," Leon responded " My name is Leon." "Yes mister Leon," the officer said continuing " We would like to ask you about what went on at the scene and the events that lead to your arrival." "Of course," Leon said. He then gave a detailed report about how Isis had left his home in distress, how he had received a message of help and rushed out of his house, and finished with an explanation of what he did to stop the bleeding. "Good," the officer said " Well will have to get a statement from her as well." "And you will have it when she is ready," Leon replied a smile hiding the authority behind his voice " If you would see yourself out I will alert you when she is awake and ready to talk." "Of course," the officer said as he made his way out " Thank you for your time sir." Leon watched the men until they had left before returning his attention back to Isis who was waking.


Isis awoke in a fit. " There is one more thing we have in common," Leon though. He watched her as she started to piece together the situation. He saw her trying to pull out her IVs so he put his hand on hers to calm her. Leon also gave her a smile when she said hi and called him sexy. "Stop fussing with the IV," Leon stated sternly. His expression then softened. He placed his forehead to hers and held her for a moment. " Everything will be ok," Leon said in a soft voice "Other than that, your safe so relax nothing will hurt you as long as I'm here."

 

[RushWing]

Isis smiled at him when he reassured her that everything would be okay. She did calm down and then stared at him. "How is it that I ran into you?" She then crossed her eyes and stuck her tongue out, "Oh duh that's right you saved me. So Leon two and Ice zero . . . Cool beans." She chuckled. She then heard a knock at the door; she quickly tensed up. Looking over it was a man dressed in a uniform. She knew the man's face. There were police men fighting for Mace or Maya as well, so Isis didn't feel comfortable when he walked in. He had a scar on the side of his left eye that almost looked like a star. His weight suggested that he needed to do some more physical activity. Tipping his hat up he proceeded. "Isis, last name?"


"Don't have one."Isis suddenly became cold and indifferent.


"Young lady, we're trying to help. Now, I'm going to ask again. What is your last name?" The cop asked clearly losing his temper.


"Rose. Isis Annabelle Rose." She said in an ice tone, the cop proceeded to write that down.


"Age?"


"Twenty-three and two months." She knew she was lying but this idiot of a man had no idea.


"Okay, last thing, can you describe what happened. Who were the people that were shot dead next to you?"


"I don't know." She didn't know anymore, she didn't know who Mace was until a couple of hours ago and then she died. Isis explained her side of the story, saying that she was visiting a friend and on the way out these people started to follow her out of the hospital and then they shot her once they were a good couple of blocks away. It's not like it's entirely a lie. She was a pretty skilled liar but she was sure that if someone could see through her, it would be Leon. He was always watching her, so intensely, so deeply, it was intoxicating.


"Leave." She ordered the police officer, he came near her and stared her down,


"I don't appreciate the attitude young lady."


"Young lady my ass, I said get out, I don't feel well. I want to be alone." The machine became an annoyance. It screamed to the entire world about what her vitals were like and how she was doing. The cop then cleared his throat and left the room.


"Sorry. She apologized as she smiled at Leon. "I don't trust police officers anymore." She reached out to ruffle his hair and her hand stayed there as her eyes became stuck in his gaze. He was so beautiful, and kind and interesting. He was everything. And now the only one she cared for. She felt something hot run down her cheek. Wow . . . Is that a-it is, it's a tear. Isis thought to herself, shocked that she was so overwhelmed by everything. She had finally lost everything but gained it all back with him. She wiped her face and then snapped back. Staring at him she asked with a soft cooing of her voice,


"So . . . girlfriend huh. We haven't even gone to dinner and split the check." She smirked lightly punching his arm. "Just kidding thanks for being here." She grinned at him.

 

[Enolx]

Leon sat quietly and watched as another officer made his way into the room. He watched how Isis was clearly distressed at the presence of the officer. Leon smiled as the two of them started to go at each others throats. He decided to say nothing about how she didn't have to talk to the officer if she didn't want to, because he liked the information he was learning. He did not know her full name so he enjoyed learning something new. His attention was then drawn to the heart monitor, it was six beats higher than moments before. "She's lying," Leon said to himself with a sigh "Sad and here I though I was learning something." He confirmed his suspicion when she started talking about what happened to her.


After Isis yelled for the the officer to leave Leon grinned. "Someone is not a cop person," Leon said to himself. Leon personally liked cops, they tended to be quite useful as long as they did their jobs, it also helped that one of his sisters was a cop. Isis' first words after his thought were " I don't trust cops anymore." His grin still hadn't left his face as he said " Trust me I know, word of advise though, even if you don't like them it's not good to lie to cops." Isis reached for him and stopped before reaching him. Leon watched her as she watched him and in her eye he saw a tear form and roll down her face.


She quickly recovered and went back to her normal joking self. Leon let out a genuine chuckle at her words about him calling her his girlfriend. " I only said that because if I didn't I couldn't have rode with you or stayed in this room with you, you know laws and stuff." Leon stated " Other than that you have slept at my house, ate my breakfast, used my shower, and had your life saved by me. We skipped the splitting the check splitting stage by leaps and bounds." When she hit him in the arm and thanked him Leon gave her a soft smile. "I'm not kidding," Leon said as he leaned in and kissed her " Would you like to be my girlfriend. I know we have gone through more than a married couple but, I don't think we should jump to far ahead."

 

[RushWing]

He kissed her. She kissed back. It was so quick, so fast, so wonderful. Isis forgot how to breathe for a moment. "You're girlfriend?" But we don't even know each other, oh who cares! She gazed into his eyes and smiled. "Are you sure you want me to be your girl? I'm a pain, a good pain. But I promise you I'll keep you safe." She winked as she stroked his face. She wanted to be with him but she didn't even know his last name. Well he didn't know hers either.


"Excuse me," a nurse said, "You're free to leave as soon as the doctor comes in and checks with you miss."


"Thank you." Isis said as the nurse left. She stared off into space,


"I know I shouldn't lie to cops. Sorry. But with everything that's happened, I just don't know who I can trust. I'm guessing you want to know things about me, huh. I guess I owe you an explanation." She twirled her fingers and let out a deep sigh. "Well, my middle name isn't Annabelle and my last name isn't Rose, but something tells you picked up on that." She brushed her hair back and noticed her tank top wasn't on her. She just realized that her clothes were gone and we're repaved by those stupid hospital gowns. She spotted her jeans and Keds on a chair in the corner with her jacket hanging off of it. "What happened to my tank top?" She asked completely redirecting the conversation.


"Miss Rose, is it?" The doctor asked as he came into the room, "Good to see you're doing better. I'm Doctor Ross, your vitals are fine and you should be good to go. It should scar up in about two weeks. You're lucky this young man came along. Either way, speedy recovery and try to stay still for at least two days." He looked at Leon. "Meaning if she pushes herself she can cause the wound to open up again. Understood?" Isis nodded her head. He then unhooked her from the machines and left the room. She immediately sat up but got light headed, "Darn, he was right. Well might as well get dressed." She smiled at Leon unconsciously touching her lips.

 

[Enolx]

Leon enjoyed the kiss. It was short but, it was soft, lush, and cascading with passion. Leon normally only did flirting and acts of passion on missions, and on those he kept his emotions buried and his heart cold. It was required because the woman you were making this seemingly emotional connection to you would have to kill. Feelings got in the way of the final objective, and since failure is not an option neither are feelings. Now Leon was not on a mission, he fought for himself, he connected for himself, and he enjoyed for himself. This gave Leon feelings he would normally never get to enjoy. This was the feeling that had finally let him put away his revolver.


Leon tried to hold back a smile when she talked about keeping him safe. " You have gotten me into more trouble in the span of one day than I have had in entire the last year," Leon said a huge grin on his face as he spoke " Safe seems to be the last thing I will be with you." He then wrapped his arm around he neck and messed up her hair with his other hand. " But hey, safe is boring," Leon joked " Besides who wouldn't want to be apart of the action movie that is your life." As Leon listened to Isis talk about her trust issue, and Leon understood her because at one time he was the same. Leon then decided to give her the same advise his father gave him, " Nature created you to survive," Leon recited" You naturally surround yourself with people you feel you can trust, so trust them until they prove undeserving of that trust. If they have lost your trust release them, recover and move on there is always someone worthy of your trust."


Leon smiled when she noticed her top was gone. "Yea kinda tore that apart," Leon said " On the upside it saved your life, downside they probably burned it as a bio hazard so you won't get anything back." Leon's attention turned when the doctor came in. "Got it doc will keep the sexual activities to a minimum," Leon said with a smile stealing a glance at Isis to see her reaction " Wouldn't want to reopen the wound by pushing her to hard." The doctor just shook his head and and tried to hide his smile as he unhooked Isis. When the doctor left Isis was ready to go. "Well you know where your clothes are," Leon said "Although you are kinda topless but hey so am I." Leon the opened his jacket to reveal he didn't have a shirt on. "I will get us a ride home," Leon stated " You are not fit to ride a motorcycle and either way I left mine at the crime scene."


Leon called III. " Hey Sera do you think you can pick me and my girlfriend up we are at the hospital," Leon asked? "Yea I just finished here for the day so ........" III responded " Hold up did you say girlfriend, o never mind you meant target." "No I meant girlfriend," Leon stated quickly. " WHAT!!!" III yelled " My baby bro has a girlfriend, you will have to tell me everything. Was this the person you wanted the trace on? What's she like...." Leon cut her off before she asked a string of question " Hope hospital, bye Sara, see you soon." Leon the turned to Isis. "We now have a ride and she will most likely break a lot of laws and make it here quickly." Leon said with cheerful grin.

 

[RushWing]

Isis flushed, her face a beat red as she stared at Leon, her mouth slightly opened. You little punk just wait til I get better! She threatened inside her mind. She could not fathom ever being naked in front of him at this point. Even though she had been semi-naked already. There was something about being a couple which gave her goosebumps. Isis got up and saw that her underwear was still on and oh how kind so were her socks. She took the gown off and grabbed her jeans. "Hmm, I'm not entirely topless." She smirked. A nurse came into the room to help her out. "Um," Isis began, "Do you mind if I take something to wrap myself in?" The nurse stared at her and had to choke back a laugh. "Yes miss, right away."


"What's so funny?" She then proceeded to look at Leon as if he would know. "Were you doing something behind my back?" She asked raising an eyebrow and slide her pants on. She put her shoes one and the nurse came with a wrap. It looked like a roll of gauze. "Awesome, thank you!" She smiled at the nurse.


"Alright, miss now arms up and I'll wrap you." Isis did as she was told and in no time her top half was covered by gauze. She looked like a mummy. Placing her jacket on the nurse looked over at Leon. "Would you like me to wrap you up too?" The nurse said in a slightly flirtatious tone. Isis unlike the usual girl chuckled and stood behind him. "Yeah would you like her to wrap you up?" She whispered in his ear playfully like he once did to her except she lightly nibbled it. The nurse gushed, "I guess you too would like some privacy." The nurse left her roll on the bed and left them.


"Aw . . . She left. Boo and I wanted to watch her wrap you up nice and tight." She giggled. "Well, now it looks like I have a shirt on doesn't it?" Isis smiled at Leon, she then realized that she was hugging him from behind and he was shirtless. Her heartbeat ignited and she giggled nervously. "Sorry." She said slightly letting go. "You know I can walk home. I like the cold." He was then on his phone which reminded her of something. Where's my phone?


She searched her pockets and couldn't find it. "My phone's gone." She whispered to herself. She heard Leon say the name Sara. Probably his sister, oh no . . . She thought as she heard the exclaimed, "WHAT" over the phone. Yikes, I didn't even think about that. Wait a minute it's not like me to worry about what others think of me. But it is his family. Oh gosh, I hope they approve. Wait, do I? Ugh, I'm over thinking this. This is stupid, I'll just be myself. I hope she's not going out of her way to come get us. Wait what, breaking the law.


"I hope she's breaking rules for your sake and not mine." She smiled at him, realizing that she had been lost in her thoughts for sometime. "I'm sorry I've caused so much trouble for you already." She winked. "It wasn't my choice. Oh hey, Leon, what's your full name?" She asked not even thinking about the gravity of the question.

 

[Enolx]

Leon took the moment where Isis was getting wrapped. "No, no go slower," Leon said to the nurse with a flirtatious voice. He smiled when her face reddened. When the nurse asked if he wanted her to wrap him he was going to mess with her and Isis more but, Isis got the jump on him. Leon could feel her breath on his neck as she whispered in his ear. Leon had a shiver go through his body when she bit on his ear. He was glad that she was behind him because for a moment he lost control of his facial expression. He is not sure what his face might have contorted into but he knew it was probably not attractive in the slightest. He quickly regained control of himself and by that time the nurse decided to see herself out.


When Isis brought up walking home Leon immediately interceded. " You will do no such thing," Leon stated flatly with a cold smile " If you try to walk I will knock you out. So let's just wait." Leon turned his head and watched Isis. She seemed distressed about something. "I wonder what she is panicking about," Leon wondered. "She breaks the rules because she wants to and because no one will ever give her a ticket," Leon mentioned " I thought you had figured out who I was by the fact I come from a family of thirteen. My name is Leon DiAngelo I am one of the children of senator DiAngelo. What's your...." Leon stopped when from down the hall he heard " Yea he looks observably attractive. That door there. Thanks."


" I'm about to cause some trouble too." Leon said as the door was kicked open. A gorgeous tall woman with long blond hair, striking blue eyes that looked like broken crystal, and a slender well toned body rushed into the room. She wore jeans, a button white button down shirt with skinny black tie, and a pair of large framed shades. She ran into the room and jumped into Leon's arms. Leon caught her and she wrapped her arms around him. After kissing Leon she came up and said " Leon my love, it's good to see you are in one piece." She let go of him and looked around the room. Her eyes locked on Isis. The woman looked Isis up and down, then she let out a sigh. She then turned back to Leon " So where is she at," the woman asked " And do I need to take care of this girl over here, she seems in the way."

 

[RushWing]

"DiAngelo. Trouble?"Suddenly the door was kicked open. She was beautiful. Isis was speechless. Gorgeous! She thought to herself with a smile. Then the woman became affectionate with Leon. Isis blushed a little and chuckled. Wow I didn't think there were many bold women still out there, right on. Though the kissing pushed her emotions a little she contained herself and simply smiled. This has to be his sister. Then, as if she heard what Isis was thinking her crystal blue eyes met Isis' ice blue ones. Isis immediately froze, her pulse disappeared, her breath left her and her emotions were long gone. Where's who? Oh she probably means his girlfriend. Isis then smiled a coy smile. "Oh she went down the hall about five rooms down to be exact. Charming girl really, a nasty case of sarcasm though . . . .poor woman." Isis then walked straight up to the girl. "Trust me, I'm not at all in the way. But she is horrid. You can't leave her alone for a second. Although, I do thank you for wanting to care of me. Oh." She notice a piece of the woman's hair was covering some of her face. "Oh, please allow me." Isis tucked the woman's hair behind her ear. "There you go. Now run along, don't want to miss that pesky girl you were looking for ma'am."


Isis knew she was pushing it and that she would have to tone it down. But she knew when she was being insulted, though she wasn't the type of person to hate. She taught herself to love every person. But there were some people she just couldn't love. This woman she already adored. She knew she was a good person, a good person had hope in their eyes. Isis then felt a sting in her head. She felt dizzy and had to hang unto something. She steadied herself against the wall. Smiling she watched as the woman's face seemed to be taking in the situation around her. ISIS! She held her head at that moment. The voice inside her head sounded like her father's she quickly ignored it. She flashed a cheeky grin towards her boyfriend and then she let go of the wall. "Now, nice to meet you, my name is Isis. But you can call me Ice." She smiled at the woman, "I hope you don't mind me saying but you're beautiful! Absolutely stunning! Are you actually human!?" Isis was back to her usual loving, smart ass-tic self.

 

[Enolx]

Leon listened as Isis began her string of lies. III watched Isis her eyes unflinching and intense. III monitored every move Isis made in front of her. Isis did not know what she was getting herself into, Leon knew he had intercede. As Leon was about to speak he received a cold dead malicious stare from III. "Let her tell her lies," III stated in a flat emotionless tone. III's eyes never left Isis' even when she took some hair out of her face. Leon cringed as he watched events unfold in front of him. As Isis moved to steady herself Leon started to move but he was stopped by the hand of III extending out to tell him not to move. III just stood there unmoving and tense as Isis righted herself. Leon was not sure what III was going to do but he knew two things, it would not be good and that he couldn't stop it.


After Isis introduced herself III just grinned. " I don't need your name, your not important to me." III said still grinning " It seems that I need to make my way five rooms down." She then grabbed Leon's arm and dragged him out of the room. As Leon started to speak up III slammed the door behind them. III then jammed a chair against the door to prevent Isis from leaving the room. As Leon got dragged down the hall as said " You really didn't have to be that hard on her." III didn't stop to have have a conversation she just continued to drag Leon as if he wasn't almost twice her size. " I don't approve of how she handled herself in there, She would be dead if she did that on a mission" III stated " She has obvious tells, a weak personality, and judging by the wound she received and the fact you had to go save her a weak body. She is not fit to be apart of our family. I expected a much more from you, your acting like VII. She seems to be of no benefit to the family, so why are you with her, you of all people should not make such a bad choice?" Leon pulled himself free and stood strait, III turning to face him. " She is of no benefit to the family," Leon snapped " I chose her for myself." III immediately rammed her knee into Leon's stomach and kicked the front of Leon's legs, dropping him to his knees. III grabbed him by his hair and made him look her in the eyes. " You know your ruining the good mood I had gotten earlier from this information," III stated " Stop being so stupid letting your emotions direct your decisions. Do you know what will happen to you, let alone this girl if you become serious with her. She is a liability and that is something the family does not have." When Leon started to open his mouth to protest III slammed her fist into the side of his face.


Leon started to speak up again and another blow came, this time he caught it. " I get it," Leon said " I know that I am a risk to her and her to me but for all I have done I deserve at least one thing I want. Regardless we have only known each other for around a day, your reacting like I'm trying to marry her." III pulled Leon up to his feet before talking " Good, I will not have you getting yourself killed for some random woman off the streets and you should have said that sooner it would have saved you a lot of pain. Now lets go home." III then started to walk towards the exit. "Alright I will go get Isis, she is kinda locked in," Leon said as he started to make his way back to Isis' room. Leon then felt a hand on his shoulder, then a pain in his arm, and then he lost consciousness. III caught him and then hefted him over her shoulder. " Can't let you do that," III said with a smile " She made me man, I don't like people that lie to me. She will have to work for her freedom." As a security officer came over to see what was going on III quickly showed him her badge. "Everything is under control," III said " But I need you to do something for me. If a woman comes out of that room down there in ten minutes, tell her that the two of us are waiting for her in the black charger. If she takes longer than that tell her we are at this guys house." III then just walked off leaving the guard with a questioning look. After making it to her car III threw Leon in the back, turned on some up beat jazz music and waited.

 

[RushWing]

"I don't need your name, " Isis began to mimic her. "You're not important to me." She laughed, "Well I'm guessing she's older than he is and she certainly is wound up tight." Isis took everything with a carefree look. She didn't think she was lying, simply being herself. Though she should probably apologize when they get back. Isis sat down and waited. She was polite enough to give the siblings room to breathe. But something was strange, they were gone for a while. Standing she made her way to the door and turned the knob. "Hmph, she's bonkers. Locking me up in a room at a hospital." Isis grabbed her glass cup in which she was drinking water and held it up to the door. She could barely make out what they were saying.


Isis heard alot of no. Apparently Sara did not approve of something. "Probably me." Isis smiled, very few people approved of Isis. A twenty year old virgin who can't save her own life let alone her family. She found herself sighing. "And I was so hoping she would be my maid of honor at the wedding." She said sarcastically laughing to herself. "What was I thinking? A wonderful person like Leon walks into my life and what I expect it to be happily ever after. . . I'm an idiot." Isis placed the cup back on the table tray, she was tired of catching bits and pieces of her unworthiness and her assumptions made her feel worse.


She then heard footsteps coming down the hall but they passed the room. "Are they leaving? No it sounds like it's just her. Where's Leon?" She hugged the door and knew it was still jammed. "Something is not right." Leon wouldn't just leave her there but Sara would. But how did she ever overpower him? Isis ran towards the window and counted. "I'm four stories high. Let's see." She searched for the woman hoping to catch a glimpse of what vehicle she was driving. Then she saw something out if the corner of her eye. It looked like a crazy old woman stealing a sexy young man. "Ah, there she is. My my she's strong if she can carry Leon." Isis went back to the door and knocked on it loudly but politely. There was no response. At that second Isis felt distressed and not safe. Her instincts then kicked in.


Isis recalled the details of her encounter. She especially recalled the signs that Leon didn't give way to. He obviously was threatened by this woman. It was as if she took his manhood away from him. She memorized the details of her face and then went straight to work. She looked in the cabinets the room had and she found hospital gowns, bed sheets, pillow cases, pillows, blankets and more blankets. "Oh goody, materials to work with." Nine minutes went by but she was finally done tying everything together. As she hummed she went to the window. The car that the woman and Leon got into began to drive away. "Damn It!" Isis realized that the windows did not open. She found her lovely glass cup and hurled it toward the window; in seconds the window smashed everywhere.


Securing her rope to the bolted bed she let out her rope improv and it reached a good two floors, which meant she'd have to jump the last one. In a last effort she threw all the pillows down to the ground in hopes of landing on them. Isis took the time to write a note to whoever came into the room and saw the mess. A crazy lady locked me in here and went ape shit over everything. Isis then grabbed her rope and scaled down the building. "Not as bad at I thought it would be. It's like rock climbing only it's at a hospital." When it came time for her jump she did so aiming for the pillows. She landed with a good amount of force which caused her to wince. Checking her wound there was a bit of blood but she wasn't worried. Leon was her priority. "Hey you!" A guard yelled from the window, "Stop!" Isis began to make a run for it, "And that's my cue." She chucked pulling herself into a running stance and taking off. The guard then yelled one last thing. "They're at that guy's place!" Isis threw her hand up saying thank you.


She then began to walk. "Guess I was worried for nothing, she is his sister and I'm sure she completely hates me. Either way I have to make sure he's safe. . . I promised. Let I'll walk out if his life for good . . ." She said as the cold air entered her and then trailed off as vapor. She wished that his sister was like David, sweet, funny, nice. But alas Isis then said out loud, "It's not my fault she felt inferior heh. . . Oh I am getting less funny every single time." Looks like she was walking back to his place anyway.


It took her almost an hour, forty-five minutes tops, to get to Leon's place. She stood outside the door for several minutes, took a deep breath in and then tried the door. It was open to her surprise and the first thing that popped out of her mouth was, "Leon are you safe? I'm here to rescue you." Maybe she overdid it by adding the rescue part, but Isis wasn't going down without a fight.

 

[Enolx]

" Ha I told you she would show, pay up." Leon yelled when he saw Isis enter his house. " Damn it," III responded " I was sure she would break and call for help." III then pulled out her wallet and gave Leon a crisp bill. III and Leon sat on his sofa eating cookies, drinking coffee, and playing cards. III looked Isis up and down as she did most people. " Hey she reopened her wound, and still walked through the snow," III said with a whistle " She's more tough than I thought, more dumb, but also more tough. Well don't just stand there come over and have a seat, Leon's making fish for dinner." III then got up from her seat and went to the bathroom and came back with a first aid kit. She then handed it to Isis and asked " You can patch yourself up right?"


While III talked to Isis Leon was focused on the cards in front of him, he knew she would be fine, so he did not worry. Leon never liked playing poker against his sister. She was the best interrogator in the family, so lying to her was near impossible. Leon's hand was solid but would it be enough, he couldn't tell, his sister was unreadable. " I hate you so much," Leon said under his breath. Without taking her focus off Isis she said " You know you love me and give up you wont win with your pair of kings jack high." Leon threw his cards into the air. " Damn you," Leon said " But I will call you anyway." "That's fine you can flip over the three aces I have now," III said as she left Isis and went to the fridge taking a drink out of Leon's orange juice. Leon flipped over her cards and revealed her hand which did have the three aces and with the one already in play she had four of a kind. " How does she do this," Leon thought " I made sure she wasn't cheating." As if she could read his mind III responded " I'm not cheating I just can read the cards as well as I read people, even father cant beat me. Regardless you know the deal let's go."


Leon got up and went over to Isis and gave her a kiss. " I knew you would show up," Leon said " Also what is wrong with you?" Leon then grabbed a knife from the kitchen and deftly cut her bindings. He looked at her reopened wound with a skilled eye. There were some early stages of frostbite which was to be expected from walking a long time in the cold with little coverage. Leon also noticed some slight bruising along the lower back. III came up behind him and said " Judging by the looks of things she jumped out the window. Anyway lets take our bath before dinner finishes. Your free to join us if you want Isis, it may be better for to to clean up before bandaging yourself again." III then pulled Leon into the bathroom.


" I think we might be a little too old to take baths together," Leon said as he started to remove his clothes. " What are you talking about you love bathing together," III said as she took off her clothes as well " Are you embarrassed because your girlfriend is here, that's so adorable considering all the things you've done on missions." Leon ran water into his bath tub and III grabbed some bath salts and some other items from a cabinet she had reserved your herself. His bath tub was absurdly large it was actually a moving out gift from his sisters. Group baths had been something his family had always done. It kept them close and gave them a relaxing place to talk about the hard points of their lives. It was because of this that Leon enjoyed his shower time so much, it was like group bath time but for one person. Before getting into the tub to relax the two of them got into the shower and cleaned each other off. " Let's wait for your girlfriend before we start talking about our lives," III said as Leon scrubbed her back " She might decided to join us, and if she does we would need to remove all talk of business. "Yea your right,she is really bold" Leon said " I don't think the idea of bathing with others will scare her off." They then sat under the constant rain of water back to back singing the song I'm Yours while they waited to see if Isis would join them.

 

[RushWing]

When she saw them both sitting on the couch eating, drinking, and having a grand old time she slowly inhaled. Was this all some kind of test? What kind of idiots are they? Geez they act as if they were super awesome ninja spies or something. His sister suddenly came towards her Isis had a blank face. She was exhausted, cold, and a little humiliated, but let's be honest she was use to that. Isis came back to reality when she herd Sara say something about her re-opening her wound. Oh yeah, that. She was handed a first aid kit and then was left alone.


She watched Leon and realized that she was a little out of place. He came to her and gently kissed her. She wasn't use to him doing that yet. She also felt weird after his sister kissed him. What am I doing here?" She wondered her face still blank. It seemed like they were playing poker, but Isis never did like the game. She was dazed. At the moment her body was coming down from a traumatic high. Her parents, both murdered, her boyfriend, a mystery, and she was clearly not fit for anything. Isis had never known this feeling of obsolete and feeling down. She perked herself back up. "Yeah I sure can patch myself up." She responded slightly to herself. Going to the sink she sat up top while Leon and his sister went into his bathroom. "Might as well give them their privacy."


Isis cleaned off her wound and could feel the pain throughout her body. The soap stung, the water helped but only a little. Once she finished she grabbed some paper towels and soaked up the excess water. She searched his cupboards for some honey and found it next to the tea. Grabbing a pot that hung from the ceiling she poured a good amount of honey in it and turned the stove on high. She couldn't hear them in the bathroom and all. It was lonely. She knew that the honey would hurt but it's not like she hadn't done it before. Grabbing a spoon she dips it into the honey and shields her injury, dragging it along her side. She winces but says nothing. As the injury cauterizes she breathes in and thinks to herself. They've been in there an awful long time. Whatever, I'm sure they barely see each other. Do siblings usually take baths together? Maybe? Huh, where's my phone. Isis could faintly hear some sort of melody. She then began to hum the song.


It had been a long time since she had sung. That was probably the only talent she ever had. Her voice was beautiful, like a dream. She was taught as a young child. She could break glass if she wanted to since she could hit outrageously high notes, she could belt out these musical theater notes. She was perfect when it came to singing lullabys and she could contort her voice for rock n roll. But her mouth shut the day she left her home at the age of sixteen. After humming the tone, began to patch herself up. "My lover's got humor, She's the giggle at a funeral, Knows everybody's disapproval, should've worshiped her sooner. . ." She began to sing as she opened her mouth for the first time after a long time.

 

[Enolx]

After finishing their song they sat for a second listing to the constant pounding of water. " Looks like she's not going to be joining us," Leon said with a sigh. " O don't sound so sad, we may not be able to grill your new girlfriend for information, but we still have each other " III proclaimed " Now we get to talk about the fun stuff." The two of them then got up and headed from the shower to the steaming hot bath. They both got in on either side of the tub so that they could face each other when they talked. They then eased into the water and relaxed.


"Alright," III said "Spill it how did you get a girlfriend. VII has be trying to get you one of those for a while." " Yea the girlfriend thing happened through a long string of coincidences," Leon said with a smile. " The short version is that I missed the bus home, had to get a ride from VII, he forced me to go drinking, I saved her from being raped." III let out a laugh. " Wow," III said " You have the craziest luck. First you miss bus then a woman gets almost raped in front of you. Your life is like something out of a cheesy romance novel." Leon let his mouth fall under the water for a moment to hide his embarrassment. " It's not like I chose for this to happen," Leon said coming back up from the water " And that's only half the story my luck gets better. When I called you I learned that she was about to get attacked by some guys. I took action and ended up shooting down a woman and four cops who were about to kill her. This is where my luck took a turn for the best. The woman I took out was Maya Grebenshchikov."


III stood up out of shock. "What how, she's been underground for......forever," III yelled quieting herself quickly " Even we had lost her, what was she doing here, with her. III and Leon looked at each other and then quickly looked at the door to the room where Isis was. " What is your girlfriends full name," III said with a mix of intensity and panic in her eyes. Leon just jaw hung open. " I don't know," Leon said " Who the hell is this woman." The two of them both jumped out of the bath ran to a cabinet, pulling out a hand gun each from a hidden compartment. They then shot over to the door and threw the door open. They scanned the other room and found Isis sitting near the sink. " Hey babe you mind telling me your full name," Leon said hiding his gun behind his back. " Yea we would love to know you on a deeper level," III added hiding her gun as well. The both gave each other glances that said " If she does anything take her down."

 

[RushWing]

"Take me to church!" Isis kept singing and got lost in the song. "I wonder if I should go join them? Would they mind? Do I really want to see Little Miss Perfect and Little Mister Hotness? Is it wrong that I do? Heh, oh I'm so twisted." She thought about the last time she ever did sing. It was the anniversary of her father's death. She sang a heartbreaking song that she can't even remember anymore. Isis jumped as her sung got cut off and she almost missed placing the bandage on her side. "You startled me!" She slightly chuckled. "Hang on." She said finishing her patch up. "Hey do you have a shirt I can borrow?" She asked hopping off the sink an turning to face Leon, "I'm getting cold and-" she could feel how tense the two were being. Plus when she looked up she looked at the ground. They were both naked. "Um I think you forgot to put on towels." She said her face turning a bit red. They both came out of the bathroom at the same time and they sound cautious. What's going on? They're hiding something. My full name? Wait . . . She wants to know me on a deeper level? Something's up. Isis wasn't stupid, but she wasn't a match for them. Who are they?


She didn't look up, "Oh that's right, I never got around to telling you what my full name is. Haha! Wow. Well my full name is-" Suddenly the door swung open and she looked over. It was David. Well this must be an interesting picture to walk in on. Isis smiled to herself.

 

[Enolx]

Leon and III both looked towards the door when it opened. "O it's just David," Leon said " Almost had to replace a brother there." VII looked at the scene before entering in. " O snap are we taking a bath, you should have called me," VII said with a smile. He then looked more closely at Leon and III and noticed they were hiding guns. "It seemed I interrupted something important," David said as he went over to the fridge and took out the orange juice and took it over to the sofa. Leon broke from his current worry for a moment as he saw VII take his orange juice. " You people are going to buy me some more orange juice." Leon proclaimed quickly returning to the problem at hand.


"Clam your tits brother," VII responded as he took a chug of orange juice " I will replace your orange juice, even though Sara drinks more of it than I do." "That's total bull," III responded " We both know you and Claire drink most of it." "I don't give a damn who does it," Leon interrupted " But I will have my OJ replaced." Leon felt water drip from his body and quickly remembered the original reason he was out of the bath. " Guys we can fight about this later we have something much more important," Leon stated. III realized what he was talking about after Leon had brought her attention away from the orange juice. " O yea this is kinda important," III said. " Yes apparently life threateningly important," VII proclaimed from the sofa. Leon and III's attention then shifted back to Isis as the both said " What is your name?"

 

[RushWing]

Isis smiled and relaxed a tad. David had this demeanor that made the room seem more relaxed and easy going. Isis observed as the siblings interacted. Orange juice seemed to be the cause of their distraction. She giggled at the sight and then wondered why she was feeling paranoid. She knew that she could be safe here and as long as she had Leon, he would protect her, unless it was against maybe Sara. Isis heard the name Claire and then wondered if she was as high strung as Sara. She loved the fact that he had a family. Isis began to feel as though they were close. He mentioned that they all had a lot of hardships in life. Some more unbearable than others. She could never imagine. Sure she just became a twenty year old orphan but she wasn't about to let her feelings burst.


Suddenly Leon reared his head towards Isis and so did his sister. She felt scared for some reason, but swallowed it down. "My name is Isis Dela'Nior Viatem Amethyst. What's going with you two?" Isis could feel her heartbeat pound, but her body was rigid. She was exhausted and really wanted to eat something decent and then go to bed. But she wasn't alone in her run down apartment. Her place wasn't filled with death defying tension. Isis locked her ice blue eyes on Leon and she slowly neared him. "Have I over stayed my welcome? I can go home. I know you have your family over. I'll see myself out. . . " Isis said as she searched his eyes for reassurance, for trust, for safety. But she found suspicion, anxiety, distrust. "Okay, I guess I'll leave." Isis said her voice a dead tone as she reached for the door.

 

[Enolx]

Leon and III let out a sigh of relief and then laughed. " That was a close call there," III said still laughing. " I know," Leon said " Half way through I thought she was stalling, then I thought she might have called back up when the door opened." Leon just laughed when Isis talked about over staying her welcome. " Your family and my girlfriend, this is your home as much as mine," Leon said " And you don't drink all my OJ, stay as long as you like. Leon then turned to III. "Well time to get back to the bath," Leon told III. "Yea after this situation I need to relax a bit," III responded "Feel free to join us David." " Why does the name Amethyst sound familiar," Leon thought " Whatever I will worry about it later, I need to lose the gun for now."


VII sat on the sofa trying to keep the panic out of his eyes. " Holy crap brother you sure know how to pick them," VII said to himself. VII was there when Leon had come back from his mission with talk of the girl he let live, the girl that would hunt him. He didn't forget that day so he knew his brother didn't. " He must have been so focused on the girl he forgot the name of his actual target," VII said to himself " Donovan Beratelo Amethyst." VII got up off the sofa. " So what do I do," VII wondered " This girl may really be here to kill XIII. No she would have done that already, she had plenty of chances." It then hit VII what was going on. "Neither of them knows who the other is," VII yelled in his head " What the hell kind of messed up romance story is this. You fall for the daughter of the guy you killed, really XIII, out of all the women." David hoped that none of the raging tempest that was going on in his head what showing on his face. "I got it," VII said " I will say nothing for now, act normal and tell them later. For now act normal."


VII pulled off his shirt and walked over to Isis. " Your family Ice, there is no way we would want you to leave," VII said with a smile" Also as family it's bath time lets go." He then moved to grab Isis by her waist to lift her up but, he noticed her injury. "Hey it looks like someone got shot or stabbed," VII exclaimed as he punched her in the shoulder " Look who's getting all tough and stuff." He then grabbed her by her wrist and began to drag her to the bathroom. " To our family bath time is sacred," VII explained ignoring any possible opposition " It is a time of absolute truth where we listen and tell. We clean our insides as well as our outsides. We forge bonds that last lifetimes through revelation and contact. That's the spiel that we were told as kids. When life gets hard it's good to have someone else to share your troubles with. The main thing is there is no need to be embarrassed its just skin and reproductive parts, everyone has them and everyone has seen them." VII opened the door and pulled Isis inside. "Welcome to another world," VII said. He then hit the lights and clapped his hands, causing relaxing music to play. Candles lined the tub and the wall creating pools of light in an entirely dark room. The sent of lavender and other earthy smell wafted through the warm humid air making it feel like they were in the wild. "We need to rinse before we hop in so hit the shower before the bath," VII said as he removed his clothes and entered the shower " After that just be open and enjoy yourself, I promise you will have fun, you might even learn something."

 

[RushWing]

She sighed a sigh of relief as Leon stopped her, "At least you didn't make fun of my name." She smiled. Isis as a little girl was always made fun of because her name was so long and complicated so it wasn't her favorite thing to tell people her full name. Leon and Sara returned to the bathroom and Isis then looked at David. He pulled off his shirt and came close to her. "What is it David? Did you miss me?" She chuckled. He then told her that she was family. Funny, I don't feel like family. Isis had no family anymore. Her rich and powerful, loving father had been murdered and now her mother. "Why does everyone in my family die?" She unconsciously asked out loud. It was barely even a whisper. David then swooped to pick her up but stopped himself. "I'm not tough." She smiled weakly. "Wait David, what, uh, no, I uh, gah!" Isis tried to make sense. She couldn't go anywhere near the three of them if they were going to cleanse their bodies and such. "But my life isn't hard! I'm perfectly happy!" Liar . . . You're breaking . . . Let yourself break. . . "Really I have a mom, awesome strangers that just came into my life and Leon." She paused a bit, "Yeah . . . I have your brother and I care for him deeply. So much so that I was willing and then did piss off Sara which I suppose was a no no. Leon is now my . . . " Isis was afraid at that moment. What if something were to happen to him too? She would have to protect him no matter what which meant she would have to train. "He's everything." She finished saying as David pulled her into the sacred place that was the bathroom. It was huge! Almost like a Japanese bath house. "Good lord . . . " Isis said breathless. David then took his clothes off. Isis turned around and couldn't stand to look at another perfect body herself. Geez, seriously, it's just skin and reproductive parts, who says that!? Perfect people do. Well I guess I'm not half bad, I work out, I have girl abs, wow I even sound like an idiot inside my own head. I am hairless, thanks to my genes! I can do this. Better at least find a towel. Isis proceeded to take her clothes off. After all her injury was no help, but maybe the water would help it. Her hair cascaded down to her hips and she it fell covering her in all the right places. "Well would you look at that." She giggled finding a mirror and looking at herself. Could she still consider herself beautiful? Yes. Entering she the shower she let go of her insecurities and became herself again.

 

[Enolx]

VII smiled and wraped an arm around Isis's neck and messed up her hair when she joined him in the shower. "Good job Ice," VII said playfully " I knew you had it in you. Also your hair is far to long, cut it no man likes overly long hair, it makes you unattractive." VII before walking out of the shower VII ran a finger down her back turned around, he stared at Isis. " You have a nice body," VII stated before he turned to the others and yelled " Hey guys look at her body."


Leon and III both turned to Isis with a smile and just stared daggers at her, grins touching their faces. It was a pass time of the family to make new comers as embarrassed on their first time in the bath. They then began to whistle and harass her like a group of construction workers. " Look at that," Leon yelled " looks soft and firm from here." "Hey babe," III followed" why don't you come over here I'll show that smoking body a good time."David hoped into the bath and took his spot on the back wall leaving the side closest to the door for Isis. " Don't you see she's getting embarrassed, the red from her face has spread to he butt," VII exclaimed before whispering" Let's just leave her alone and instead just stare at her." " Nice call," the two of them responded. They all then just kept their eyes focused on her. "Everyone watch a different part so she feels our stares all over her body," III said.


While not breaking glare the three of them began to talk. "So anyone got any good stories." VII asked. " Not really you guys kinda know the highlights of my life right now." Leon responded. " Well I do have some good news," III stated " it turns out that a woman at the scene of a shooting happened to be Russian mafia member." A smile touched David's face, but he did not say anything. "Yea it's a shame that something like this would happen, must have been another gang or something making a move," III continued. VII looked at Leon who nodded his head and quickly jerked it in Isis' direction. "Yea crazy what kind of things happen in this world," Leon stated. " I know and I thought the city was getting better," David added. "It's fine we have good men and women who work to keep this city safe," III said smiling at the other two.


" Hey everything going ok over there, do you want me to help?" Leon asked Isis " the bath is getting kinda cold without you here to warm it up." They gave each other devious smiles. They knew the real fun stuff would begin when she joined them.

 

[RushWing]

Isis slightly moaned when David touched her back. "That's a man's problem if they don't like long hair. I love my hair." She declared tying it up. Her tattooed appeared. Two silver wings hung in the balance between her shoulder blades. When she was eighteen she went into a tattoo parlor and asked for wings. They were always hidden because of her hair. She remembered her parents always telling her not get tattoos or piercings but she ultimately denied them. Isis came back when she heard David say something about Hey body. "I have a nice body?" She slightly smiled but then turned pink from the attention of the others. She didn't usually show her body off. At the bar she was always hit on by strangers, men and women both.


Isis was still a virgin but she was clever enough to know her way around the jokes that people would make. She was a little embarrassed. She could feel their eyes on every inch of her body. "A good time? Oh no that's okay." She replied nervously today's Sara as she approached them. "Leon this place is incredible." She then slowly inched her way into the water. "It's still warm Leon, worried for nothing." She teased unconsciously covering herself up with her knees. She looked up at him unknowingly with pleading eyes. "What are you all talking about? Besides me of course."

 

[Enolx]

"You know," Leon said responding to Isis " Recent events." "Yea, Sera was telling me about this shooting that went on," David said " We then started talking about the good men and women who serve and protect." Now that Leon wasn't trying to mess with Isis he smiled at the situation he was in. His heart started beating a little faster. " What is wrong with me I'm acting like a kid," Leon thought unable to get a grin of his face. III looked at Leon with a questioning look. " What's up with you," III said " You look way to happy." Leon eyes shifted back and forth from Isis to III. " Me happy," Leon said " Why wouldn't I be its bath time." VII gave Leon a look of disbelieve. " Yea we are starting starting now you lying sack of crap," David said.


"You remember how I told you we use the bath to tell each other about our days," VII said to Isis " Well everyone in my family is a dirty liar so there is a rule. You can ask any question you want towards one person and that person must answer truthfully. After they have answered your question, they get to ask one of their own. You must be careful though Isis. We will answer truthfully but, if your question is open or vague you might not get an answer to the question you wanted. Also now that you are here and the rules have been explained you are bound by these rules as well. If you lie we will know and then you will be dealt with. So for your sake please don't lie, we take this very seriously." VII finished with a smile and turned to Leon. "Now let the games begin," VII said with an evil grin.


" What is the real reason that you were happy at the last moment I asked?," VII asked. "It finally hit me that I was sharing a bath with the girl I like," Leon replied " What boy wouldn't be happy to talk a bath with two beautiful women." VII laughed. " That's true," VII said " No real man would not enjoy himself in this situation." David then turned his attention to Isis before speaking " Do you see how it works. Just be truthful and enjoy yourself, you learn the best stuff when people can't lie." III then looked toward Leon. "My turn," she said " Do you love Isis?" A smile hit Leon's face and he looked up and started to think. He expected Isis to ask something like this. Leon assumed that III asked this so that Isis would have a firm understanding of the kind of questions she could ask. " No," Leon said with a sigh " I am attracted to her, she fills all my thoughts, and I would risk my life for her, but I can not say that I love her. Love is not just something that happens in a few days. Love is forged by time, understanding, and hardship. So until I fully and truly know her and, have spent enough time to get past infatuation, I can not say that I love her." III and David looked at each other before looking back at Leon and clapping. " Well said brother," III said. " I am going to steal that for the next time a girl ask if I love her," David added.


Leon gave then a smile that quickly turned to and evil grin." That was a question from both of you, it's my turn now," Leon said " David did you drink the majority of my orange juice?" VII cursed " Fuck you," VII said turning his head away " Yes." "You will be buying me more tomorrow," Leon said turning his attention to III after " Sara, why did you give Isis a hard time at the hospital?" III just gave Leon a smile. " Because she is trying to take my little brother," III replied " You are mine and I don't want to share." Leon let out a laugh. " Love you too sis," Leon said turning his attention to Isis " Your turn what do you want to know."

 

[RushWing]

He doesn't love me . . . Well that's good and it's to be expected. Isis was still hugging herself so that her body was covered by her knees. She was nervous. If she was just with Leon and David she'd be alright, but Isis never got along with women. And his sister seemed completely over the top insane. She knew that her turn was coming soon but she didn't know if she had any real questions to ask. Especially if they were directed to Leon. She wanted to know what his deepest secret was. But she froze up. What the hell does someone ask these people?





"Isis . . . You may not understand anything that I'm about to tell you but nonetheless you need to hear it." Donovan pulled his daughter the side away Celeste and began to tell her his legacy. "One day you may be in danger and bad people will come after you. No one knows what these people are capable of doing but one thing is for sure. They will kill you. Keep yourself vigilant and keep yourself strong. Someday I may not be here my princess. If that day comes then I need you to be the strongest you can be and if you ever find yourself in trouble go to him." Isis came back from her flashback. Find him huh I forgot all about him.


She looked up at Sara, "Okay then."Sara, do you think I'm pathetic in every way possible?" She then turned to look at David, "Did you ever want to sleep with me at any point in time since meeting me?" Then she looked at Leon, I have no idea if I should but whatever. "Leon, will you kiss me anywhere in a way that you would never kiss anyone in front of your siblings?" Isis wasn't the best when it came to asking questions but she'd get better at it.
