No Longer Safe. {COMPLETED}√

  Sebastian.

  Rosa appears by my door and I send her a soft smile, I knew she was after my tail immediately I left the meeting room, she was always beside me when I needed comfort the most.

I walked to the window in my spacious room, it had been my room when I was living in this hell hole and surprisingly nothing has changed in it, well except for the missing silly combatant posters that I had on almost every visible inch on the wall, when I was a teen.

"So I guess you are going to kick some ass?" Rosa's calm voice penetrated my thought.

I sigh, rubbing my eyes quiet intensely. Ordinarily, I wouldn't put up with this kind of shit but I knew I couldn't avoid this one.
"Yes Darling, I may have to kick a few ass tonight."

I paused for a second in deep concentration.

" Not that I would enjoy making some stupid jerk incapable of bearing children in the future but apparently this is a jungle and we all have to act like animals rather than civilized human beings."

Rosa smiles and shook her head of wavy curls in amazement. "You are one big meanie Sebastian. Wait a second, didn't you know anything about the tradition or something? You grew up here, well till you were fifteen."

Yeah she caught me there, I knew all about this useless, time wasting family rule. As a child, my father use to tell me all about it and I got to experience it a time or two. It was the nastiest thing I ever saw.

"Rosa, I know all about the family tradition, I even saw it one time but truth be told, I don't see the need for it."

She cocked her head and asked mockingly. "Don't tell me Sebastian, that you're scared of fighting?  You sure have some good skills."

I scrunched my eyes in slight disappointment. "You think I am scared to exercise my wrist? Damn no! I just don't like hitting people who ain't worth my hit."

That got her laughing and I was glad I made her laugh, just maybe she'll do without those favourite chocolates of hers this time.

"Rosa?" I called her attention. "I want you to do me a favour."

She shrugged her shoulders and feigned courtesy. "What do you want me to do Sire?"

I didn't have time for her jokes so I went straight to the point. "I want you to find out all you know about the dark girl."

She looked lost at my request, so I gave her more details. "The girl who brought this fight topic during the meeting."

At that added information, her eyes widened just slightly. "Ooh. You want me to do an investigation on the dark skinned girl who asked you to fight?"

I nodded and Rosa placed both hands on her tiny waist and I knew I had it coming but I couldn't guess just what it is.

"Do you realize that we both got here at the same time? same car? and last I checked you don't own any grounds around here until you win a contest. What makes you think that I am going to be any successful in manipulating these people?"

I groaned in anger, this was the side of Rosa that I dislike. The overly smart side.
"Obviously, I am the one doing the fighting here Rosa, so do what I ask you to do and no silly comments. You may leave."

Rosa swallowed audibly and dipped her fingers in her shorts pocket.
"Well, uhm. Fine, see you in the arena. Good luck." She chipped in and walked out as fast as she could.

I smiled lazily and drank the amber liquid from my glass. I couldn't wait for my signal.

Few hours later.

     The field was surrounded by every member of the Ernesto family, from cooks, cleaners, tutors, medical personnel, bar attenders, stripers, security unit and more.

I watched the crowd in amazement, this people can't be fucking serious! They are all standing under this scorching sun just to watch a stupid fist fight? I may have taken this whole thing as a joke but this people didn't.

I walked to the center of the field and stood like a mannequin, I didn't know who I was incapacitating, at least not yet. The crowd look at me like I was an alien, they whispered to themselves like I had some super human hearing gift to pick up their conversations from such a distance.

Stupid people.

It didn't take up to another minute when I saw him walking towards me. He was shorter than my 6'5 and I almost burst out laughing at his silly gait.

He reached me in no time and I could tell that he was Asian. I didn't know the connection he had with my father and I could care less.

"So you want to come take your daddy's place? Huh? Are you man enough, daddy's boy?"

I stopped smiling when his words registers in my brain. Did he just call me daddy boy? I lashed out and grabbed him by his throat, he struggled to remove my hands off him but the sucker failed to realize that it was impossible.

When I saw that his hands were beginning to weaken, I flung him to my right and his stout body hit the ground hard.
I was sure he wouldn't be getting up anytime soon.

I was so absorbed in my thoughts and didn't hear Rosa scream from behind me, as I looked towards the direction of her voice, I felt the impact of a body pushing me down and then a sharp pierce followed by my side.
I had felt this pain a thousand times during some very nasty operations, some were predictable, others unexpected just like this one. I flung my arm and punched the intruder in the forehead, he fell backward with a sickening crack.

It was obvious he broke something.

I held my bleeding side and looked around, silently daring anyone to come near me. It was like they all knew what I had in mind for my next victim so everybody kept their calm.

In the crowd I saw her dark eyes looking in in fear, I chuckled at her expression. She shouldn't be scared, what was she expecting? That I would die today? If that was what she thought then she had thought wrong. I sent her a wink and her small mouth dropped open, soon I will shut it up.

Seeing no threat around, I staggered to my room with a yelling Rosa running and trying to catch up with me.
