False Loyalty, and True Love

Rem's P.O.V

      I don't exactly remember this girl, but what I see now is that she is beautiful and drop-dead gorgeous. Her hair falls down to her chest in thick brown curls and her eyes are so green and full of life, they look just like grass on a stormy day, with little swirls of brown. Her lips looked plump and soft and I would kill to kiss her there on the spot. But I remembered small things about last night. Just not who she was. 

      "Oh shit, your name is Rose, right?" She smiled, showing her perfect white teeth. 

      "Yes, and yours is Rem, right?" 

      "Yeah. Hey look, we remembered something! That has to count." She laughed. "Do you want anything? Breakfast?"

      "Wow, and here I was thinking this was going to be a one-night-stand thing. Sure, why not." We ate and talked about our childhood. I got out some fruit. 

      "Want some strawberries?" 

      "Sure, why the heck not? Again, thank you so much for being so hospitable. You really are so nice!" I laughed. If only she knew how nice gang leaders were. We finished eating finally and I offered to walk her back to her place. 

      "Oh, I see Rem wants to know where I live, correct? Well, I suppose it's fair. Why not?" And with that we were outside and walking. We went through an alley when she stopped suddenly. 

      "You okay?" I asked. She nodded hesitantly, holding something in her jacket pocket. I noticed one of my own men, Adrian, coming towards her. She eyed him warily before he winked at me. I was extremely confused but why he winked, I was about to find out. Suddenly, I heard her scream. Not the type of 'help me' scream, but the type that is a battle cry. I turned around to see her fully take down three of my best men, for no reason what-so-ever. She pulled out a gun. "Woah there Rose, chill. These dudes are just my friends."

      "Friends? Oh shit, I got to go!" She yelled and with that she was off. I ran off to catch her but I heard Adrian mumble something. 

      "Black Serpents...She's...The...Leader-" With that, he passed out. I called in backup. 

      "Get me Donovan. I am going to need info and I am going to need it now! I roared." Katalina nodded and called him. I soon went to headquarters, while my men cleaned up the unconscious bodies. 

      "Who is Rose Whitefire?" 

      "Ah, Whitefire. A common name, especially for a gang leader." I was taken aback. I can't believe that the kind, gentle, and compassionate girl that I literally had breakfast with, was the leader of my sworn enemies. The Serpents killed my parents. Although I suppose, I killed hers. This is all so much more complicated than it should be. "You need to kill her Rem. She holds immense power. Without her, the gang is nothing." I started to shake. She seemed so innocent, but so powerful. She was strong nonetheless and had great instincts. Everything I would see in a wife since I am 28 and need one to produce offspring and heirs to my title. But she is the enemy, and I refuse to be prey. Prey and predator. A funny saying. Don't bleed in your own garden, especially when you are the prey. Well, all feelings aside, this is for my reputation, and I won't be bleeding in my own garden anytime soon. I am coming for you, Rose Whitefire.
