17/Premonitions? (Mia)

WARNING: This chapter contains strong language. Enjoy.

I struggled against the hold of my captors as they almost dragged me out the ballroom. More accurately I am trying to knock them off balance so I can get free. I successfully use my heels a few times and my knees a few times but there are too many men surrounding me. As soon as I am free of one hand two more take their place.
I did manage to get a few of them off me and that made me smile, but I lost sight of my father, and that pissed me off. Probably ran off somewhere safe.
'Bloody coward. It's okay, I will find him later.' I know you will.
I am roughly shoved into a van.
"Watch it, you brutes!" I yelled at them.
We were preparing to beat the tar out of driver and guards but Larry was tossed in unconscious beside me. What happened to him? 'Sleeping on the job.' Well that plan is out.
While I was willing to gamble I could take out the driver and guards before they subdued me, Larry would be an easy target. He could get hurt or used against me. 'Wake him up.' I shake him roughly trying to wake him up. 'Even Lau wouldn't wake up if you did that. Try harder!'
"Wake up already you little bitch! Do I need to slap you awake? Come on you gigantic pain in my ass!" I slapped him hard but he didn't even flinch. Okay that's not working. Mèimei, suggestions?
'Keep yelling!' I can try.
"Blaze! I know you hear me! Get up! Come on! It is time to fight!"
"Shut the fuck up, salope!" Blaze growled.
"You promised to protect us so shut your cocksucking mouth and open your damn eyes, you lazy salope!" I yelled as men snatched me from the van.
I should have known I can only depend on myself. Mèimei? Please help me protect our babies. I asked as they carried me through the halls.
'Did you really think you need to ask? Let's get to work!'
We headbutted, kicked and punched the men holding us, pushing them into others that were rushing to help. We held them off fairly well until Blaze finally decided to showed up.
He kept his word. No one touched me because he help me and I made sure that he didn't get hurt in the process.
I know he would hate to admit it, because I hate to admit it but we work well together. He is a surprisingly good fighter. My favorite thing was watching his leg kick and snap back like it never moved. He has the fastest legs I have have ever seen, I think. I know he is the fastest I have seen in person. He reminds me of the cook on One Piece. 'Bwahahaha I'm telling him you said that!' Whatever it's not like it's a real insult. He'd probably laugh at being called Sanji.
With the few men that dragged us here, now lifeless on the ground. We set out to find our spouses and my father. Not long into our search Blaze was complaining. "This is taking too long."
I pull out my phone, dial a number and hand it to him, "Tell them to come to help search."
"You do it!" He hissed.
"You are the leader now and we could use the help." I pushed the phone to him. After calling in the calvary, we waited.
"You think they here? My brother and Mai." Blaze laughed.
"I hope so, either way no harm to search the place, maybe find someone who knows where them and my father are." I answered.
"It stink in here." He said probably talking just to hear his own voice.
"That's cedar. You know a type of wood." I smile at his irritated look.
"I no stupid. I know cedar a wood." Blaze scoffed. "Look. I no like you. You fake and I no trust you." I laughed at his assessment but didn't defend myself.
"Anything else?" I asked still thoroughly amused by his irritated look.
"You slow me down." He huffed. I smiled wider. "Why you keep smiling at me?" He grumbled glaring to me.
"Mèimei was making an observation, you try to be all gruff and mean to push me away but you are really a big softy." I continued to smile. He rolled his eyes at me.
"You no know me!"
"Do I need to?" He looked me in the eyes and grumbled. "Look I am going to try not to hurt your feelings." I exhaled when he looked away. "If you hear nothing else, listen when I say I give zero fucks what you think of me. Know my loyalty only extends to you because of your brother. I woke you instead of letting them hurt or kill you in your sleep." He shifted his weight then opened his mouth but I spoke first. "I neither need nor want your trust. Betray me and I will happily let the next set of goons dismantle you." I glanced towards him but he was no longer looking at me. He looked like he wanted to say something then decided not to. I touched his arm gaining a partial glance. "You are family and while I love you as family. Most days, I would love nothing more than to kick you spoiled, cocky, whoring ass up and down Champs-Elysées. However I have to admit I would probably be just like you if William never happened." He turned towards me crossing his arms.
"You still fake!" He spat.
"How is that?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You never angry! Why you no get angry?" He challenged.
"Because I gave that emotion to Mèimei, it is 100% hers. She controls it, she owns it. I own happiness or joy and she wants nothing to do with fear so I guess that's mostly mine too. We share love, surprise, trust, and other emotions." I smile again.
"What that mean?" He asked like he doesn't believe me.
"Think of it like this." I sighed. "Mèimei is my nine tailed fox. I can use her abilities, that are anger based, and talk to her but she is only partially out of her cage, if you will. Anger is the equivalent of breaking the seal. If giving the choice I prefer anger to rage. Anger is like in Naruto when the red nine tailed cloak became visible. If I let myself feel rage then I end up in the cage while she is free to destroy the hidden leaf village." I smirked and he laughed one hand on to a wall the other on his stomach.
Thankfully the calvary found us within 20 minutes. Thirty or so men arrived ready for war. When Blaze found a torture room, several of the men started splitting off to search while ten stayed with us in the torture room.
We waited there for the others to report back. Little by little they started bringing captives to us, some we didn't kill others that were patrolling. At first everything was fine but when the number of captives greatly outnumbered the ten men with us, they tried to over power us.
One jumped on me while another three tried to hurt me. One of the hits glanced off my stomach while another kicked me in my back... 'THAT'S IT! I'm killing everyone here!' Mèimei yelled.

"Mommy? Mommy! Belle is hungry." A butterscotch complexion girl with wild reddish brown curly hair and hazel eyes is staring at me expectantly as I make the bed. She looks about 3 or 4 years old.
"Okay babydoll, do you know if crepes sounds good to Belle?" I smile kneeling in front of her smoothly the stray curl from her face.
"Yes, she would like that!" The little girl answered.
"Do you want to help me?" I kissed her cheek. She nodded and grabbed my hand leading me to the kitchen. I look around but my house is unfamiliar. My bedroom and hall are full of family pictures. I have the last picture family photo I took with my parents and siblings, Mai and Larry with my nieces and nephew, Larry and Laurent with Maman, Laurent with me, and Belle with me. But none with Laurent, Belle and me.
"Mommy?" Belle called impatiently.
"Mommy is coming, baby." I answered.
I walked through my living room that overlooks the ocean towards the kitchen.
