The Rise of the Red Queen

8

I woke up screaming once more it was at least 10am so the other two got some sleep. After I took my medicines I went to the kitchen grabbing two bottles of water, the box of cheerios, shelf stable milk, two spoons, and two bowls taking it to the basement. "Morning here's some breakfast. The king's will be here in an hour." I said passing it through the bars of Enzo's cell. "You won't be in trouble for the abduction. They'd have to punish me for it first. Viktor really shouldn't have talked so openly about it. He really sucked at the whole plan. I had to even point out to the Spanish boss here that he didn't take Enzo's phone. I am bummed that they killed him for his stupidity. I would have used him to make an example out of those from our home crossing me even worse than what I did here." I told them. "You knew?" Enzo asked incredulously. "Not only did I know I set it up so the guards he was unsure he could take on by himself were otherwise occupied. Santiago and Felipe were kept busy doing what I wanted at the house while Theodore was occupied by the good doctor. I made sure to get to know who was behind this too. It's amazing how every sees me as innocent and weak. This all is just a small message from me. Now you may tell the kings, Theodore, Santiago, and Felipe that I was the cause of all this but no one else. Don't cross me," I stated walking away.

I grabbed the keys to the cells and my backpack then went outside to sit on the steps. Once the vehicles started pulling up I stood up. I was a sight to see with dried blood on my face and jeans as well as in my hair in a sports bra. I threw the keys to the cells to Andre before speaking "They are not to be punished for the abduction. After all I knew it was going to happen and aided in it. Theo look around if you want but bring my clothes to the bathroom on the second floor it's the third door on the right. Oh and everyone can put their guns away there are no threats here. The king's, Theodore, Santiago, and Felipe can go inside no one else until they say so" I turned and walked away into the house.

Once I got into the bathroom I turned on the hot water, stripping, and stepping into the shower. I scrubbed the blood off my body and out of my hair using the men's shower products. Before stepping out and wrapping a towel around me looking for my clothes bit coming up empty handed. I opened the bathroom door to find no clothes or Theo. I sighed then shut the door drying my hair some with the towel then putting a pull-up on from my backpack. I wrapped the towel around me once more before I started making my way downstairs. I found everyone stopped right inside the door. "Theo I need my clothes," I said jarring everyone out of their frozen state. I grabbed my clothes from Theo before walking to the room I was kept in. I closed the door before getting dressed in a white unicorn sweater and pink sweatpants.

I went back out fully dressed to see no one has moved. "Theo come with me," I directed walking to the stairs. Once we were away from everyone I asked, "Was that too much?" "More unexpected," Theodore answered. "In here," I directed him into the room with the guy who never spoke to me. Theo didn't say anything as he surveyed the damage. "Across the hall next," I directed to the Spanish boss. Theo once again said nothing as he surveyed what I had done. "This one killed Viktor for his stupidity. It's a shame really I would have liked to use him as a demonstration as what happens when you really cross me. Last one is in the basement Theo. " I said walking out and heading down to the basement.

Once there I was met with the others. "What did you say before he passed out and what language?" Mark asked. "Larga vida a la reina. Ruso." (Translation: Long live the queen. Russian.) I answered in Spanish as Theo looked once again surveyed the damage. "There is two more on the second floor," Theodore told them never once commenting on my kills. "Vincenzo needs stitches on his wound under the pressure dressing. Have Enzo checked for any internal damage when I was down here both times he was a punching bag. I'm going outside now. You can let everyone else in when you want now. Enzo and Vincenzo are free to have credit for this." I informed them walking out with Theo following me.
