The Lovely Moriarty(3)

2 - The Cheetah.

I wake up earlier than usual, but not early enough because James is already gone. He left a note that said he would be back soon.

I decide to make breakfast and explore the house since I never had the chance.

Once I'm done with breakfast I start exploring. I find a large library, some offices and bedrooms, but most important, a large room with reels of fabric stacked to the brim. There was a few manakins with suits on them and some that were customized to look like James. Time to do one of the things I do best, make a dress.

I grab some white fabric and lace and get to work. I make a simple white dress that comes down to the floor. Then I added some flowers and a belt. After that, I added some lace at the top that went to the neck and extended to the wrists. At the wrists, it was shaped into a 'V' form. It was majestic.

After that, I started making a suit for James. It was sold black, with white accents. I put a white, collared, button down shirt underneath, with some fancy black leather shoes. I added a red tie for the fun of it.

When I finished, I realized how much it looked like something we would wear to a wedding or something the bride and groom would wear. I guess I let my feeling take the best of my design.

I honestly haven't noticed how fast time had blown by. James should be home soon.

Is it just me or is it getting hot in here. Now I have a stomach ache. Maybe it was something I ate.

I go downstairs to check the boxs of food I ate when I hear some scuffling.

"James is that you!" No response. I grab a sword from the dinner room. It's suppose to be decorative.

"Are you home! Don't try to scare me!" No response. I get closer to the sound and I find the most outrageous animal ever. I find a cheetah.

"Holy shit! James stop playing games!" The cheetah notices me and starts to stare. I back away slowly, but it's starting to follow me. Then, an unfamiliar man walks into the door.

"Who are you," I ask.

"The real question is who are you! Wait till Jim finds out about this," he yells.

"Wait, you work for James!"

"Yes, if you were going to break on you should have planned better. Don't call him James!"

"You don't understand!"

"I perfectly do!"

"Is he here?"

"Yes, he is."

"James! You have some explaining to do!"

"Fine. Have it your way!" He slams me against the wall. I get away from him grip, while he grabs another sword. We start full out sword fighting. He's really good and he defeats me almost instantly.

"Your lucky I haven't killed you yet!" He ties my hands behind my back and puts duck tape over my mouth. Where the hell is James when I need him!

"Jerry, watch her." I sit in the first step as Jerry the cheetah stalks over to me. Watching my every move. The man comes back shortly.

"Are you a client?" I shake my head.

"Are out a friend." I give him a kinda look.

"Are you an enemy?" I give him a kinda look again. He rolls his eyes.

"I'm going to tell Jim. You should be greatful if you survive. He will deal with you." Thank god. I can't stand this man any more. I hear yelling and some running toward me. Then I finally see James.

"For god sakes Sebation!" He comes over and undos the rope and takes the duck tape off. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, thank you very much," I say matter o' factly.

I stand up and walk over to Sebation and slap him as hard as I can. He's extremely taken aback.

"She's my girlfriend Seb." He facepalms and we properly introduce each other.

"Sebation Moran, one of Jim's snippers."

"Tori Grace Jenisus. Nice to meet you." We shake hands.

"Wait, the Tori Jenisus? You're dead!"

"No, I'm not." He nods in unstandment.

"Is it hot in here or is it just me?" Then shake their head. I suddenly get a little dizzy and have to grab onto the railing.

"Are you sure your ok," James asks. He offers me support but I sake it off. I feel kinda bad because he looks really worried.

"I'm good. Don't worry about me." I let go of the railing and I get dizzy again, but this time, I don't grab onto something fast enough because I fall to the floor and pass out.
