The enemy

< Chapter 34 >

Kingston's pov:

I'd woken to the loud sound of children screaming and shouting, to pans and pots clanking together, to people having their own discussions.

For fucks sake.

I'd slept on the sofa to give River some space as that is what she clearly needed and wanted.

However, I did not expect to wake up to the sound of death at 8am in the fucking morning.

I was also unable to get barely any sleep last night as River had began to take over my mind.

Rolling my eyes, I pulled myself up from my position on the sofa and stretched my arms out as Peter suddenly came out of nowhere and took a seat beside me.

We sat silently as we watched the kids run around the room chasing eachother, full of joy.

After a few minutes, Peter turned to face me and spoke, "where did you disappear to yesterday? You looked as though you was in a hurry to get away from this place."

I was debating on telling him what exactly had happened but then I figured he'd find out sooner or later anyway.

And on that same note, I need to keep this family safe. I didn't come here to put Peter and his family in danger, but I already have and now I need to keep them safe and make sure no harm comes their way.

Peter left this life behind and made it clear he wanted nothing to do with this fucked up life anymore when he began his family with Rosa.

"I killed Seth. I made sure of it. But now I've caused another war and I've put you all in danger. I know what I came here to do but putting your family in danger was not one of them." I told him what had happened after realising he needed to know what was going on and what could happen eventually.

I was expecting him to lose his shit with me but that didn't happen, "You know, I always knew you'd be the one to kill your father. It was clear you always had this deep hatred for him and I was just waiting for you to explode," he began, "but I am always going to have your back, boy. No matter what situation we are in or who's involved, I will always have your back." That last bit took me by surprise.

I was fully expecting him to kick us all out and tell us to sort it out by ourselves but that wasn't the case, I guess.

"What about Rosa and your kids? I've put them in a difficult and dangerous situation. Me and you both know that the Russians don't care about anything or anyone and I've gone and made us their main targets." I told him, in hopes that he'd back out of this whilst he still can.

They're most likely already planning our deaths and the many different ways to torture us.

"Don't worry about my family. I can keep them safe. I'm on your side and I'm going to be on your side until the end. Whatever the end may be. Do you understand, boy?"

I nod my head in response as he returned the simple action before continuing, "also, I thought I'd let you know first but tonight, I'm going to be throwing a huge party. You will recognise some faces from the past but please be wary of who may be around you and please, for the love of god, don't cause any shit. I mean it, kid. You love causing trouble but tonight, I don't want to be dealing with any of that shit." He rambled on and I chuckled.
