Seraph

AU Pt 9 - 1936 - Not an Update

Phase two of the plan didn't involve the female couple. It involved Dr. Cullen, Red, Danny, and others at the hospital. But it didn't take them long to do so, and the plan was still set to happen quickly.

The only thing Serafina had to do was keep both Frankie and Royce on her hooks. Keep them both thinking that they had a chance with her. She did her task expertly. Both would constantly seek her out, discover the other, and fights would ensue.

Serafina never showed any favoritism to one over the other. And because of her cold demeanor toward them before, her flirting didn't even have to be too exaggerated. A simple smile or a lingering pat on the shoulder would suffice. Both men could tell the difference and believed she was interested, which led them to step up their pursuit. But no one else could tell. They bragged to their friends, but their friends couldn't really see it for themselves. To their eyes, she was still cold and uninterested, but they still encouraged their friends in their pursuits. They didn't know both men were hitting on her. So they never understood why Frankie and Royce constantly came to blows outside the club.

The night the plan was set in motion was a whirlwind for Rosalie. She sat dazed in the living room of her apartment with Royce. She was nervous, and this apartment no longer made her feel at ease as it once had. It no longer felt like her home. She supposed it was because she had gotten used to living with the Harts. Not even that. She felt at home with Serafina. She felt safe in her arms.

At this time, she could hear the ruckus outside. A fight had broken out. She could hear her husband arguing with Frankie and could imagine the neighbors down the hall opening their doors to peek. She was no different and had done the same during some domestic incidents that happened with those same neighbors in the past. But when the silence came and a few moments later the keys went to unlock the door, her spine straightened with her nerves. But it was for nothing because as soon as Royce stumbled through the door, he was immediately punched in the face hard by Angel. Hard enough to knock him out immediately.

"Good hit, son," Luther nodded in approval.

Angel grinned, "I've been wanting to do that since I saw Rosie's face."

"Me too," Luther said before grabbing a chair and placing it in the center of the room. He then helped Angel sit the unconscious Royce down, and the two tied him to the chair together.

Serafina then slipped into the room before locking the door. She quickly made her way over to Rosalie and placed a comforting hand on the blonde's face. "Are you okay?" she asked, worried.

Rosalie nodded in confirmation, "I'm fine." She answered.

Luther held some smelling salts under Royce's nose, and the deep inhale he took immediately woke him up.

"Rise and shine," Luther whispered menacingly. Standing in front of Royce with his two children flanking him.

"What?" Royce asked with confusion. He tried to move but was immediately stopped by the ropes tying him to his chair. He immediately began to struggle. In his fear, he began to get ready to yell and scream for help, but Angel noticed and immediately pulled Royce's tie off and shoved it into his gaping mouth, nearly choking him.
