We Meet Again 2

Two

(Rose)

"Now that we have an understanding... have a drink with me." She said as she slowly raised off Ivy and sauntered back to the expensive vodka. I didn't know rather to go to Ivy's side or follow Beast!

She'd changed!

She's not the same since she spent the day with pretty boy. She's darker, creepier, more terrifying than usual!

That's what I need from Beast. The only one that can free us from damnation. The right one to have at my side to kill Slade himself. I looked at my bae, rolled my eyes and followed the one in control, Raven.

"Yes... lets." I said and traced her footsteps.

"I wasn't talking to you... but you can join me and Ivy if you want to. I have questions only she can answer! No offence cuz, I'm just trying to figure out what was on her mind when she did what she did. Why'd she linked him back to his... his." ...

Right then I saw her heart, as she tried to choke back tears with her voice wavering, ready to break. She loved pretty boy. Beast seemed to love nobody before her son, but she loved him. I quickly turned the tables.

I mean I do love Ivy, but I couldn't allow her to link the pieces of pretty boy and his connections to the Markov's!

If Ivy is led by blood lust, which I know she is, and harmed pretty boy in any shape or form because of his former family, then that meant Ivy and her entire clans' lives, which included what we've planned for our own future children, would be in serious danger!

Everyone will die!

I thought and stood next to her while watching Ivy try to come around from her near-death experience.

"So let's have it! Why did you go after Ramos' kid?" Raven slurred the words. I think it's time to save Ivy's life.

"Cuz... you look like you've been having a good time with that vodka. We can talk about this later... huh. You know how Ivy is, leave no one behind. It's just what she was taught in the organization. No witnesses... no loose ends, right." I said uncharacteristically and she stared at me. They both did.

.... "What?" ....

Raven said while Ivy continued to rub her neck and catch her breath.

"What Scathe drilled into our heads from the beginning. Please don't be so mad at her. I'm sure everything would work out in the end, especially our plan. You're still going to go through right?"

"Oh hell yes! I want my life back! I will stop at nothing to have my picket fence! But if your little carpet muncher interferes again, I'll kill her very slowly!

NO!... I'll have her begging for death and let the bitch live. Just to quickly kill her later! This is soooo good! Where did you get this vodka, and may I have sum-more?" She's clearly drunk right now. Maybe that's why she spared my girl.

Raven licked her fingers, and did a series of pointing in the air and hugging herself. She went from whimsical to menacing all in a matter of seconds.

Very Schizophrenic if you ask me hah-hah.

But that's Raven. Always has been, always will be. The substance of choice just brought it out in the worst ways, on all occasions while she's been in the organization.

"No there's no more, but if you want... Ivy and I can go find you more."

"Will you?" She said like she was innocent.

"Yeah. Come on V... let's go get Beast some more vodka." I urgently motioned Ivy to get her ass in gear. I can't really gauge Raven's mood right now. With the drugs I given her, she was predictable, but now, I just can't tell which frightened, ME! And let me tell you, I don't scare easily... at all!

"Oop... hold on, there's no rush. It's like more than half a bottle left! Come sit and drink with me Ivy!"

That look, that look in her eyes made me fear for Ivy's life... again!

Ivy quickly complied and sat at the small table across from Raven. I just stood in the background. I did NOT want to fight with Beast, and I hope she didn't feel like ending my girl tonight. She seemed relaxed as Ivy held her head low in submission of the alpha female.

"Now explain! Explain yourself!! Raven was quite intoxicated. Now I had to watch out for my cuz because Ivy is an opportune killer! One wrong move of Beast and Ivy would take the upper hand, especially since she was attacked first.

Ugh... my life right now! Two volatile killers at the peak of rage...

"I'm sorry Beast, I didn't mean to make you upset. I just thought that." ...

"Fuck that!!! My one and only question is, why didn't you kill her! YOU SHOULD'VE KILLED THAT HOE!!! You knew that you are trained to do so Ivy. Now because of your mishap, I have to be HERE right now, instead of having a fantastic time! I could've been slobing or robbing the dick right now... you... you... BITCH!!!"

She slammed her closed fists on the table forcefully. Ivy and my eyes grew wide at this statement, also surprised by the sudden jolt of her frustration.

"Here have a drink." Raven shoved the bottle in Ivy's face and she in turn took a healthy swig. I winced knowing that Ivy was in pain, but oddly enough she molded into the moment. I had to remind myself that she'd ingested the same liquor much earlier while she attacked Terra, which is probably the reason she couldn't complete the task of erasing the blond.

"Hey cuz... let me in on this!" I said keeping an eye on them both. Ivy passed me the bottle. I filled my entire mouth with the vodka and swallowed.

'Hmm, smooth!' I thought and took another drink, then another, then... well you get the idea.

If I had to protect my girl and have Beast in my corner, I might as well. Why fight to the death, with Ivy and myself on the losing end of the spectrum if Beast gotten really angry, when I can just comply and lose my senses tonight, and maybe have a little fun!

After about a half hour I witnessed Raven and Ivy laughing and getting along like nothing had transpired between them, and I felt... relieved. I didn't have to referee anymore. The element was, different!

It was nothing like when we were in the Scathe house, as I called it, even though I was born and raised there, no...it felt like a true bond of women! It was like we were true friends and nothing like competing for our survival.

This is... my family! My loved and covered ones! No one will harm them.

NO ONE!" I'd make sure of it or die trying.

What can I say, even Revenger has a heart! Sure it was cold and non-beating, but now I can feel my pulse. Who knew that even I have a heartbeat!

"Where can we get more of this Belvedere Bears?" Raven inquired as the liquid neared the bottom of the bottle.

"Oh I know just the place... Terra's house! She has an entire refrigerator full of the stuff." Ivy said feeling her groove again.

"So... leh-go!" Raven said pulling on her hoodie with Ivy in toe.

"Wait cuz, what if there's cops and FBI around her house." I said. I can't believe that I was being the rational one in this shit!

"Who cares. We're Scaa-att...the!" Raven said elongating the word with a crazy look on her face. I chuckled at her as she placed her arm around my intoxicated woman, them both skipping and laughing, heading to the door. I smiled at them both and followed, thinking...

Oh well... let's have some fun!
