Chapter 5 - My Bed of Roses

“What the hell are you saying? Don’t you have your own room to sleep in?” I ask.

“Calm down princess, I promise, I’ll touch you” He says while smirking.

“Uhg, get out!” I say, throwing a pillow at him. Dodging it just in time, it ends up hitting a lamp, breaking it.

“EEK!” I say, quickly running into James’ arms, causing us to lie on the bed together; I do not like the dark that much.

“I guess you just couldn’t wait to get it,” he says, and I can feel him smiling at me, thank goodness it is dark or he would see me blushing.

“Can w-we s-stay like this please?” I ask him stuttering and he agrees. I stay there, lying in his arms until I fall asleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Time to get up Angel” I hear James say, but I’m too tired to get up, so I ignore him.

“If you don’t get up, I am going to have to do something naughty,” he says whispering in my ear.  In a flash, I quickly rise from the bed and get ready.

“Now that you are ready, I will show the rest of what you didn’t see outside, and then we will go train,” he says. I check the clock to see that it is only 6:30 AM.  Why the heck am I up so early?  I follow him to the front yard and we go to the pond; in the pond, there are varieties of catfish.  I walk along the ramp and see a grave stone surrounded by red roses at the end. 

I walked to it and read what is engraved onto it, Here lies the queen of Dead Roses, Ruby Dartrie. I get on my knees and read the engraving over and over again, hot tears flowing down my cheeks. The feeling of not being able to talk and be in her embrace made me feel a coid in my heart.

I feel James’ hand caress my back softly as he squats down, and I burry my head into his built chest.  After crying my eyes out calming down, I walk away from the grave to continue on our tour.  We go through the other path, to where the pool is. 

Up close the pool seems more refreshing with the water fall falling into it.  I feel like taking my clothes off to go swimming, but I know that we didn’t have time to play.  Next to the pool, I see James fiddling with a rose bush.  Curious as to what he is doing, I walk over to him.  I notice that he’s bleeding. 

“What the hell!” I say as the bushes separate. “What just happened?”

“I’m okay,” he says assuring me. 

“That’s not what I asked.”

“To open the training area a member of the clan must spill some blood and I didn’t want you hurting yourself,” he says this smiling at me as if he had just save my life for doing it. I don’t know how to interpret it, I don’t know if he was trying to be cute, or if he was insulting me in some way, but I stop analyzing and go down the secret passage way.

I go down to see that it is a very large, white room filled with mirrors.  The roof is made out of tinted glass, which I’m guessing is so that we can see the people outside but they can’t see us.  On the walls there is equipment everywhere, swords, bows, machetes, guns, and so much more.

“Choose the weapon of your liking,” he says. I look around at all the weapons and chose twin black samurai swords.  “Nice choice, now put your powers in it.”
