Realistic or Modern Something in the Orange

[decadent-rider]

Ivar frowned at his phone before talking. “Hello to you too brother…. I was simply calling to ask where the hell my sister is. Why she isn’t answering her phone and can you get her to call me? It’s important.” He muttered, “you know. Seeing as you’re her husband I figured you would know.”

He shook his head and frowned. “I just think you should leave. I don’t think you should be coming here anymore.” He told her quickly, not wanting her in danger anymore.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Aemond frowned deeply at Ivar's voice and soon changed his tone "Has no one called your family?" He asked starting to grow angrier when Ivar said no "You all need to come to the hospital...someone took a hit on us and Carmen is not well." He explained before sighing heavily giving him the address before hanging up.

Max frowned more and stepped back from him "Will you come to my place then? Bill I'm not leaving you alone right now. Not with you like this."

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen was in and out the rest of the night through to the following morning and eventually just lay there watching aemond exhausted. “How’s your head?” She asked him quietly, seeing he looked uncomfortable.

He shook his head and frowned more. “No. Get out. Max don’t fight me on this get out.” He muttered, unbolting the door and opening it for her. “I said get out!” He shouted in her face, practically forcing her out of his apartment before slamming the door shut on her and bolting it again.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Aemond looked over at Carmen and gave a small frown "Pulsating....I'm going to speak to a nurse soon." He said softly before giving her hand a squeeze. The attention they had been given had tripled as they got to the new hospital, which lessened his stress a bit but not by much and none of it was helping his condition.

Max flinched when he yelled at her and forced her out of the apartment. She gave a glance back at his door when she heard the deadbolt and sighed heavily before walking down to her car to go home.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and reached up to cup his cheek for a minute, “soon as my family gets here, you’re going to get checked on.” She told him seriously. “Have you spoken to your mother?”

Gus was parked outside her place, just sitting and waiting for her to get back. He knew his little brother like the back of his hand and he could read him like a children’s book so he knew he would kick her out, and now was his chance

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max was rummaging in her purse when she bumped into someone. She looked up and gave a relieved look seeing Gus there "Gus! What are you doing here? Nevermind that...can you please talk to Bill? Something is really wrong and I'm getting scared." She explained not thinking once that Gus would hurt his own brother.

Aemond frowned deeply and leant his face into her hand "No...not since I left...nor will I again after what she did." He said bitterly before kissing the palm of her hand "I will not allow her to try and run my life anymore."

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and looked at him confused. “What did she do?” She asked him quietly. “Never mind. Tell me when your head hurts less.” She murmured, scooting over so he could have a little space to sit with her for a minute. “I was gonna tell you when we got home from the gala Yknow.”

He smiled at her calmly and nodded. “I can do that sure. I don’t need to though. Cause you’re going to do it for me. And we’re going to make it worse.” He told her smiling still as he slipped the gun to his hand and pressed it against her side. “Get in the car Maxine.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Aemond gave a small nod and moved to sit next to her. He took a shaky breath and closed his eyes tightly before composing himself "I'm so sorry Carmen...for absolutely everything." He murmured softly to her. It was very rare that Aemond gave a sincere apology, but for her? He'd do however many times it was needed.

Max went wide eyed when she felt the gun at her side "What the fuck are you doing Gus?!" She whisper yelled while she got into the backseat of the car frowning as he made her ziptie her own hands together.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned a little and cupped his cheek gently. “The only thing you should apologise for.. is yelling at me in the car.. and for having the worst morning breath.” She teased him, just holding onto him as best she could for now.

He chuckled a little once she was tied up to where she wouldn’t be a threat “Making my brother learn from his mistakes. And earning myself a nice retirement check in the process”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Aemond chuckled softly and gave a nod "I am...I am sorry for how I treated you that night." He said quietly before kissing her cheek gently "And I will find the person who did this to us, I want you to know that."

Max frowned deeply as he said that and shook her head some "He is your brother! How could you do this to him?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and nodded. “Are we sure who they were trying to hit?” She asked him quietly, playing with his fingers a little.

He chuckled a little. “Not enough. Bill isn’t going to fund a life in the tropics for me. The payment for his head will.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max shook her head some and frowned deeply "You won't get away with this you know. Bill won't let you kill me." She said falling silent as he only laughed at her response.

Aemond shook his head softly and kissed the top of her head "My guess would be me, but the job was sloppy none the less, so there is that to be thankful for I guess.."

 

[decadent-rider]

She just hummed tiredly and nodded, not really listening at this point and fell asleep leaning up against him.

He chuckled a little and shook his head. “I don’t need to kill you Maxine… that would be a waste.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max sat back and frowned deeply as he drive themto an abadoned house. She grunted some as he tugged her roughly out of the car "Oh wow what a beautiful place." She spat sarcastically to him.

Aemond gave a small smile as she fell asleep. He looked over at the door seeing Ubbe and Bjorn standing there "She just fell asleep..." he said quietly before giving a small sigh "If you guys could stay with her for a bit I'd really appreciate it. I need to get seen about my head.." he muttered

 

[decadent-rider]

Ubbe just nodded and clapped his shoulder as he walked out, taking a seat. “His mother needs dealing with.” He muttered to Bjorn. “First helping her son try and take you out and now this… I trust aemond. I don’t trust his family.” He muttered.

He rolled his eyes and took her inside, taking her to a room in the basement, shoving her to sit on the floor and handcuffing her to a pole in the middle of the room. “You keep up the smart mouth and I’ll just gag you. You’re here as bait, nothing more. Don’t flatter yourself.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Bjorn gave a nod and sighed heavily "But do we really need the entire Targaryen wrath on our heads? Do you think they all would care aside from his brother and grandfather?" He muttered

Max stayed quiet as he took her inside rolling her eyes when he said she was only bait. She hoped Bill would see soon that its Gus doing that and that he would get it handled, but she had a bad feeling that wouldn't be the case.

 

[decadent-rider]

“As far as I’m aware, the feud between his half sister and his mother is still strong as ever, their side of the family would be glad to see her taken care of.” He pointed out. “I feel we should warn aemond though. He’s proven to us that much.” He told him right as carmen was starting to wake up again to cough.

Once he got her set up, he headed upstairs to leave her to stew for a while, smiling seeing she was falling further and further into his trap.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Bjorn gave a nod in agreeance "I think that would be the smart thing to do." he murmured looking at Carmen as she started to wake up "Hey there, how you feeling?" he asked softly giving her a small smile.

Max frowned deeply as he left her there for a long time. She wanted Bill and it was looking more like Gus was going to keep her there for a long time.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned a little and looked around confused for a moment before relaxing as she remembered what aemond was doing. “Like I got hit by a semi… did aemond tell someone to go pick up the dog?” She asked them frowning some, wanting to make sure that at the very least the breeder was contacted.

He finally headed down there bright and early the next morning, handing her the phone after pressing dial on bills number. “You’re gonna tell him that you’re sorry and that he can never come over or see you again.” He told her smiling.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Bjorn chuckled some and gave a small nod when she asked about the dog "Yeah Hvitserk has it already." he said happily before giving her hand a squeeze "We're gonna make sure you get out of here as soon as possible." he explained quietly

Max took a deep breath shaking her head some "No, why would I fucking do that huh?" she spat at him

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded and frowned a little. “I’m just worried about aemond. He’s being pulled all over the place.” She mumbled, talking with them a little while before her father arrived at the door and she watched both Ubbe and Bjorn leave. “Hey Dad.” She mumbled, not surprised at the lack of her mothers presence.

He smirked. “You will have to say something.” He told her

Bill frowned as he answered the call. “Max, sweetheart I told you, it’s not safe for you to be contacting me. I’m sorry, I’m sorry I got you in this mess but it’s not good for us to be together.” He mumbled.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ubbe and Bjorn both listened intently to their sister before sighing heavoly as their father arrives "We'll be back to see you later okay?" Ubbe said softly before leaving with his brother.

Ragnar smiled softly seeing Carmen and went to sit next to her "Hello....how are you feeling?" He asked softly before taking her hand in his.

Max frowned deeply at Bill's comments looking at Gus with disgust. She took a deep breath as he placed a gun to her back before she started to speak "You're right, this was stupid for me to have ever taken you back...I should have always stayed far, far away from you. I'm sorry Bill, but even after whatever this is passes....I don't want to see you again." She said praying he would realize how unlike her she sounded right now.

 

[decadent-rider]

She shrugged a little. “Better than I was… wanting to get home… aemond is around somewhere…. He’s just… getting checked out.” She told him. “Mothers not coming is she?” She muttered as less of a question. Her and Ragnar had always been close but Aslaug on the other hand had been preoccupied with Ivar her entire life and even now their relationship was strained at best.

He frowned. “That’s exactly what I’m saying. Are you not… okay… where are you?” He asked her “cause your house is a lot noisier than that and so is the street and your shop. Where are you?”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ragnar gave a small nod and sighed heavily when she mentioned her mother "No....no unfortunately she will not be joining us today." He muttered before pushing some hair from her face "I do not want you staying around this family any longer....I did not expect this to be the outcome when combining out families.

Max frowned some and took a deep breath "I'm out if you must know....with someone else..someone that is much better than you." She said in a serious tone before taking a shaky breath when she felt Gus push the gun harder into her side "Listen Bill I have to go....thank you for all the memories."

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and shook his head. “Don’t bullshit me. You never go out, you never meet people so how did you find someone less than 24 hours after I told you to go home… who’s there?” He questioned but frowned when he heard the phone moving and soon heard his brothers voice telling him an address.

She frowned and shook her head. “I’m not leaving Aemond…. He is good to me and I love him.” She told him as firmly as she could. “I will talk with him though. Maybe we will come home for a while.” She muttered.
