Revenge's Heavy Heart

Chapter 2: Verena

A loud knock wakes me up from my deep slumber. I groan uncovering my face and turn to look at Samarah who was still asleep. She would not wake up to save herself even if the building burned. I sigh getting up and sliding my feet into my house slippers, the knocks consistent and loud. Can't one of the airheads open it? Their room is closest for fuck's sake. I open the door of our room, close it behind me, and walk towards the door, just as Gael is getting out of their room half asleep.

"I'm coming, jeez, have some patience, whoever you are," I say out loud, already annoyed. I open the door to our apartment, greeted by a familiar face to which I roll my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest.

"What do you want Lexi." Lexia Recour lives two stories down, why the fuck is she at my doorstep so early in the morning. She is lucky I had a good sleep if not, I would have ripped that smile off of her damn face.

"Well good morning to you too Vere," she said still smiling, hell she might just split her face in half. "I was doing the morning watch and I was just passing by, wanted to say hi to my idol"

I raise an eyebrow at her words, what the hell was wrong with her? Why was she acting this way? "Its early Lexi, sun is still not even up. The fuck you want, I am running out of patience."

"Who is it?" I hear Tim's voice ask loudly, "It's the crazy one from 14th floor" It's Gael who answers, I did not even notice his presence to my right. "Tell her to fuck off, its too damn early for her bullshit" I smirk a bit while looking at Lexi's face, her smile was now replaced by a frown and a cold gaze.

"Disrespectful idiots. I just came by to tell you to be careful. I will make sure that the boss sees my worth-" I laugh a little at her words, she is quite the clown. My laugh stops and I stare at her hard and coldly.

"Listen here you piece of shit. My uncle will have your fucking tongue if you keep running it the way you have. Leave your high school drama back in school idiot. This is not a place to stir up drama or anything fucking close to it. Want uncle to see your worth just because you are also his niece? Have at it. But taking my place? That is something you will never fucking achieve. Wanna know why? I have been training far longer than you. I have seen worse things and done worse than you fucking have. So I am going to need you to shut the fuck up, and leave before I punch you into next week." and with that, I slam the door close in her face.

"Damn, does she ever learn?" I turn to Gael and shake my head no while walking back to my room. Just as I open the door, another knock at the door is heard to which I walk, and open it in anger. My anger only rises when I have to dodge a punch.

"Alright bitch I'm done playing nice," I say as I throw a hard punch on Lexi's face and kick her in the abdomen making her fall to the ground. "Get lost before I fucking kill you." I see her scramble to her feet and leave for the elevator, her anger fuming like mine. To hell sleeping, I have to seize the fire in me before I go to her dorm and cut her throat.

I huff as I punch the punching bag hard, sweat dripping down my forehead and neck. What the fuck is her problem? Is she stupid or something? Such a fucking idiot I swear. I kick hard and stop. Looking at the ground, my breathing being erratic but I slowly manage to get it under control.

"Look who we have here. If it isn't the Onyx herself," I turn and smile a little when my eyes meet Kaizer, lider of squad Deimos. His white silver hair is messy, seems like he just woke up and came here with the first thing he saw lying on his floor. Despite that, he still looks as handsome as ever. "May I have the honor to spar with thee Dark Gem?" I nod, tying my hair in a bun while walking into the boxing ring in the middle of the gym, and proceeding to get in starting stance.

"Show me what you got pretty face" he chuckles while taking his shirt off and walking towards me also getting in position. I give him a nod and him to me, starting our little dance. He throws the first kick which gets me off guard, making me weakly block his kick to my right side with both arms. I see him smiling to which a smirk, dodging his right hook. I sway back balancing myself on my left leg, my turn to counterattack. His eyes not leaving mine and I see my opportunity, high kicking him on his right side, quickly changing the attack to to his left side, using the heel of my foot this time, and with full force landing the hit. I could tell this completely took him by surprise to which I smiled, letting him grab my leg and pulling me closer to him. I used the momentum to grab the arm that he was going to use to punch me, wrap my left leg over his neck, and use my right foot for momentum, being able to drop and make him fall over to his back. Our heads touched with both of us on the floor. Our sparring continued for the next hour until Kaizer tapped out when I had him in a headlock with him on his knees.

"You hungry?" he asks as he ruffles the sweat from his hair, picking up his shirt from the floor.

"Are you paying?"

"Well no shit, that is why I am asking" I roll my eyes but nod. I was dying of hunger after all.

"I'll meet you in the lobby in an hour Bella Cara" I scrunch my nose a bit at the nickname and walk out of the gym without looking at him. Idiot.

Once I finally get to the apartment and shower, I quickly change into black baggy jeans and a white loose shirt. I go to where my shoes are and decide to wear my high-top Converse. Once I dry and brush my hair, I walk out with the other three looking at me suspiciously.

"Where we going?" I look at Tim, squinting my eyes just a little bit.

"We are going nowhere. I am going to get lunch with Kai." Gael raises an eyebrow looking at me, his hands on his hips

"Have fun gorgeous. Tell me the details" I smile and not at Samarah who winks at me. I chuckle and walk out of the apartment sighing. Once in the elevator, I press the button to the lobby and upon reaching it, Kaizer looks at me and smiles. He is wearing a black hoodie and black cargo pants with high-top Converse as well. "Let's go, Bella Cara," he says while I walk behind him out of the building. I follow him until we reach his motorcycle which was parked in the garage designed for well, motorcycles. He walks to mine, grabs my helmet, and walks back to me handing it over. With no other word, he mounts his motorcycle and so do I, right behind him.

"Grab onto me so you won't fall" I roll my eyes, put my helmet on, and wrap my arms around his waist, I just know he is smiling to which I helmet bump him. "Ouch idiot" I snicker as he turns on his motorcycle and we leave the premises.
