Walking out in front of me, she says, “Come on boys, let’s just forget about this whole thing.”
“I didn’t ask for your opinion you dumb bitch, now get out of my way.”
“No need to be hostile, I was trying to calm down the situation, but since I am just a dumb bitch, I guess I will have to ask my friend to help me,” she says while showing a coin to the man.
“Wait isn’t that.”
“Yes, this is one of the five coins that the boss of the Nu gang treasure above all else.”
“But how could you have that?”
“Use your imagination.”
Getting on his hand and knees he says, “I am sorry for this transgression.”
Turning her head to me she says, “You see boy this is how you deal with problems in an efficient manner, unlike what you were about to do I have absolutely no fear of any retaliation.” She then turns around and kicks the man in the face saying, “You see, I can do this all day and not be scared of anything.”
After kicking him back and forth repeatedly, she screams, “YOU LIMB DICKED BASTARDS, LISTEN UP.” All the other people in the bar freeze up, and then she says, “I WANT ALL OF YOU TO HAVE A GO AT KICKING HIM IN THE NUTS, IF HE IS STILL CAPABLE OF HAVING KIDS AFTER THAT, I WANT YOU TO REPEAT THAT PROCESS.”
“But he is in charge around here.”
“SO, WHO ARE YOU SCARED OF, HIM, OR THE PERSON HE BOWS TO, I GIVE YOU FIVE SECONDS TO START.”
In those five seconds, they start following her instructions. “Hey boy, come sit with me,” she says taking my hand, as she guides me away to the table all I can think is that this woman is terrifying.
When we sit down on one of the tables, a waiter walks up to us, and says, “Is there anything you’d like miss.” The waiter sounds incredibly nervous, and I can see why.
“Oh, I have always wanted to try the péfko ble, give me three bottles of that, and make it on the house.”
“But mam, that is our most expensive bottle, if we just give them to you we would be making a loss.”
Flipping the coin up and down she says, “Even though I have been coming here for years I have been treated quite poorly, and now you're refusing me my drink of choice, It really puts me in a very destructive mood.”
“But we couldn’t have known who you were.”
With a serious expression she says, “Your lack of knowledge is your own fault, no one else’s, and am I supposed to believe the treatment I have been given is the standard here, it makes me also want to burn this shit stain of a shop into the ground.”
As the man stands there about to cry, she says with a smile, “Though there is one way you can change my attitude, and that is by giving me what I want in five minutes, tick tock.”
As he runs away to fulfil their order she says, “Also make some ice cream for the boy.”
After the waiter brings what she got us, she takes a sip of the wine and says, “This is incredible.” Then looking at me she says, “Aren’t you going to try some of your food.”
“I am full.” That whole situation has removed any appetite I had.
“oh, don’t be like that,” she says while forcing a spoon of it into my mouth.
After tasting it, I say, “Delicious,” and start eating the ice cream.
“What a cute boy you are, I thought the days when cute men would come looking for me are over.”
“What do you mean.”
“Well, you and your three friends have been looking for members of CN, and congratulations you have found one.”
Surprised I move back. “How did yo-.”
“You’re about to ask me how I knew about that, but I can’t tell you it is a trade secret.”
“So, you knew and still approached me, for all you know I could’ve been after your life.”
She laughs as I say this. “What so funny?”
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
“Sorry about that. Now let me respond to your question with a question: How did I just completely turn that situation in my favour?”
“Because you have the favour of his boss.”
“No, because I have information, this coin you see me holding is a fake.”
“What.”
“You see, I found out a long time ago that the boss of the Nu gang collects a certain rare set of coins, which he gives out to people who he is very intimate with. So, all I had to do was make a copy of it and then any of his gang members who see this will immediately bend the knee.”
“You talk as if your plan is smart, but there are a bunch of flaws there.”
“Do tell me, boy.”
“First, what if one of the gang members asks the boss about who has said coins.”
“These coins are mainly given to women who have sexual relations with the boss, and said boss of this gang has a very deep separation between his work life and his personal life, so his employees won’t be allowed to know anything about the coin holders, they are only told to protect people with these coins no matter what. Is that all you got boy?”
“No, it isn’t. You have now put way too much attention on yourself, what if rival gangs come and try to kidnap you as revenge against his gang, in said situation, not only will they find out you're lying, but that would ruin your whole mission here as an undercover reporter of CN.”
“All the gangs on Elpída have a strict code of chivalry when it comes to their warfare, no family. They will never attack anyone’s family in their disputes, this has been proven time and time again, the only people who would do that would be rival organisations from other countries, but they are usually wiped out upon arrival.
And I am not actually the member I CN stationed here, I am just visiting so if I have to flee the country, it doesn’t impact us at all. So is that all?”
“Yes, it is,” I say begrudgingly.
“All your arguments make sense, but they were all based on what ifs, and you can now see how all those issues can vanish as long as you’re well informed, and due to how well informed I am I can confidently say that meeting with you poses no threat to me. Information is without a doubt the strongest power.”
“You say that, but you just gave me a bunch for free, I could use that against you. I am quite sure I could restrain you and tell all those guys kicking that man nuts. So, I guess you aren’t as smart as you think.”
“You have a legacy that allows you to create and manipulate ice and snow, so I guess that is what you mean by restrain me, but I can give you a one hundred percent guarantee that I can escape you and flee this nation before the gang could get anywhere close to me. I gave you all that information for free because it poses no threat to my safety.”
“I heard CN is great at evading everyone and staying hidden, but you exceed my expectations. Congrats on passing my test.”
“According to my sources your hair changes colour in response to your emotions, so just guessing from your facial expression and tone lime hair must mean you are lying your ass off.”
“I am not lying.”
“Now you are pouting, how cute, you really are adorable trying to save face like that.” As she says this, I see drool flow down her mouth.
“You, ok?”
“Oh, don’t worry I’m fine, but let me tell you this, there is no one easier to manipulate than a smart person who lacks information, so be careful cause you seem to fit that description.”
Dammit, I came here to have a conversation with her as equals. but she really has been running circles around me. I need to change the flow of this conversation. With a serious tone I say, “Thanks for that, but I would like to get onto the business I actually came here to discuss.”
“Oh, a commanding voice, but that is cute in itself, so boy what do you want from me?”
“I happen to be looking for someone and I would like to have your help,” I say bowing slightly.
“I didn’t think you would bow to me, you seemed a tad too prideful for that boy.”
“I believe asking politely for something is a must, but I would prefer if someone barely older than me would stop calling me boy”
“Well of course a twenty-eight-year-old woman like me should stop that,” she says proudly.
“So is that a yes or no,” I say nervously.
“Don’t worry, of course, a cutie like you can count on my help for anything you need, I guarantee it.”
Letting out a sigh, I say, “Thank you so much, you know I was scared that you were going to be an awful person, I am glad I was wrong. I guess Capti wouldn’t have any bad friends.”
“By Capti, do you mean Captivant Adrian Nightfall.”
“Yes,” I say looking up at her face. When I see her expression, it has completely changed from before, it is no longer sweet and pleasant but it is filled with anger. “I thought you both were friends.”
“Friends with him, yeah I am friends with that bastard.”
“But you don’t really sound like it. Do you and Capti have some bad blood?”
“If only it was that simple. THAT IDIOTIC FUCKBOY BIBLIOPHILE! HE THINKS HE CAN JUST DATE ME ON AND OFF, FUCK ME, AND THEN JUST GO MARRY SOME STRANGER BECAUSE OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. THEN THAT BASTARD STILL ASKED ME FOR HELP ALL THE TIME, DO YOU KNOW HOW OFTEN I HAD TO HELP RAISE HIS KIDS AND HE EVEN ASKED ME TO HELP NAME THEM, THAT BASTARD I WON’T EVER FORGIVE HIM NOT IN THIS LIFE OR THE NEXT, HE IS LUCKY HE RAN OF TO FIMBULWINTER OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM NINE TIMES OVER. ”
Shit, shit, shit, I thought she was his friend, but she is his ex-lover, Capti you promiscuous bastard, I knew you liked women but couldn’t you of left such an important person In a better mental state.
Wait a minute, she said she dated Capti, but isn’t she twenty-eight and if you take away the twelve years Capti spent with me she would of dated him when she was sixteen at the latest. That still doesn’t make sense, Capti's son and daughter should currently be in their forties, with Dragoste's ( Capti son) daughter; Viata being sixteen. How old is this woman?
She looks way too young to be anywhere close to Capti’s age. As I say this, I look at her face and see that it looks as if a piece of her face is cracked; is she just layering on the makeup, is that even possible with makeup?
But ignoring all of that, this woman is giving me the creeps, she goes around telling people proudly she is twenty-eight when she is (Probably) older than Pine. Not only that, but my senses have been going off for a little while, my body is telling me to run. She is really freaking me out, but that’s not my biggest issue, right now it is her mood.
After she stops ranting, she looks me dead in the eye and says, “Hey boy, what’s your relation to Adrian.” Staring at me with a set of crazy eyes, she says, “Don’t you dare lie to me.”
Crap how the hell am I going to get out of this, I am not even worried about getting the information I am worried for my life.
