The Emptiness She Holds

Catching up

Chapter 2: Catching up

Honey please wake up we need to start packing!" My mother said in a sing song voice when she opened my door

I was standing by my window smoking a blunt

"Blaire Athena Knight!" My mother yelled my full name making me stop in my tracks

I turned to meet her with a darkness in my eyes before snapping back to reality

I could see a little fear in those green eyes of hers and guilt aswell making it's way on the surface

"Sorry mama Its a hard habit to break" I said throwing it on the ground and then stepping on it diminishing the smoke.

She let out a sigh  "it's okay. You should start packing we will be moving into Vincent's house...and you will have new step siblings" she said nervously

I stood there with a cold face nodding and then walking to my closet to start packing

I had just returned yesterday and now I'm moving in with a new "family" I said sarcastically

Lets get this over with

I pulled all of my clothes off the shelves and hangers along with my shoes.

I put everything organizing it into my suitcase and into my backpack

I walked down the stairs and placed my suitcases near the door where my mom was placing hers "your not selling the house are you?" I asked a little fear evident in my voice

She shakes her head rapidly "god no! Not for a million bucks. Even though this place might be wacky and a little run down it's where we had the best memories together" she said giving me a smile

I nodded and went towards the door sliding my slippers on and opening the door "I'm gonna go to the library I have some studying to catch up on" I said and got a "okay be back before it gets dark " response.

I nodded before walking down in the direction of the library but instead I turned the corner and there awaited me a black mustang

I walked towards it slowly before opening the door and sliding in

I was met with a strong scent of cologne and immediately covered my nose

"Come on Ryan what the hell!" I said pissed off

"3 years and this is what I get?" Said a rough voice from the front seat

"Alrightt..hows your shitty life?" I asked nonchalantly

He chuckled "not as shitty as yours" he said shrugging and starting the car

Ryan was my rock, my ride or die. He was my fathers assistant's son

Now my father wasnt just a regular drunk dude

He was the leader of a gang called the Black Mamba

But then he was killed
And so me being his next heir was supposed to take his place

But shit happened and I was sent to juvie

So while ryan fed me information from the outside i used those resources inside of prison where no one could suspect me

I ran my gang from the inside
And multiplied times 100 making it top 2 in the biggest gangs of New York If not then all of America.

"Whatd you tell mama bear?" He said looking at the rearview mirror

"Library, that I had some studying to look over" I said shrugging

"Bullshit your already fluent in 8 languages! Chinese,french,Italian,english,Russian,Arabic,korean,spanish!"

"God your legit in all the subjects it's like 2nd grade level to you at this point!" He said going on a rant

"Yea yea keep making my ego grow" I said rolling my eyes

He scoffed and turned a corner
"Oh please I'm sure after all these years locked up you've lost some of your skills" he said smirking

A sly grin made it's way on my face "your on"

•••

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! you were right just let go!" Screamed Ryan as I Kept him in a headlock for what seemed like 10 minutes right about now

I rolled my eyes and kicked him making him act more dramatic

"Okay Vesper...I see you" ryan says with gritted teeth

I laugh letting my head roll back

"Nobody has called me that name in years..." I said remembering the many times I made gang leaders fear me from that name alone

An assassin so feared yet no one knew she was just a 12 year old girl behind the curtains

"So what did the crime world say once I disappeared " i said sracasm laced in my voice

"Some say you died of course. Some say you got scared. Some say you took a break and would only reamerge during the perfect time" he said shrugging his shoulders then chugging his water

I hummed in response

We had come back to ryans 'evil lair' as he likes to call it...here i spent many hours training as a child

My blood and sweat have tainted these matts

I looked at the time knowing i would have to wake up early to go dress shopping with my mother tomorrow because her wedding was at 6 during the sunset...how romantic

I rolled my eyes mentally and grabbed a bag full of my old weapons ryan had kept safe for me

We went out to the garage and he had me home at 6:12 in a matter of 15 minutes

"I'll see you soon Ry" i said giving him a soft but sad smile and engulfed him in a hug

He squeezed me tightly "stay safe ves" i nodded at him and then headed inside where i made sure to run up quickly to my room in order to put my duffle bag in another suitcase where it would fit .

I kissed my mom goodnight and went to bed hoping her wedding goes slightly wrong...like the cake falls on the grooms face. Pfft

Only in my dreams~
