Warrior 130
RYN
After lunch with Miro, Sadie and I drove away in my new car.
I didn't have a driver's license yet, so that was something to add to my bucket list.
"Are you nervous about tonight?" Sadie asked, and I turned to her, pondering on her question.
"No. I'm only upset."
"I know. What that lady did to Uncle Theon is terrible." She said, but that wasn't why I was really upset.
In all of Miro's laid-out plan, none of it involved beating Chelsea's *** and that...is very annoying. I really want a rematch with the **h.
"I want to come with you," Sadie stated, her eyes fixed on the road. "...when you go on the mission."
I began to shake my head. "No. Your cousin will not allow it, and you know it."
"Exactly why I want to go in secret with you. If we're going to sneak into Chelsea's room to find the potion she used, then I want to help. I can be on the lookout or something. Please, Ryn.
I thought about her words and slowly shook my head. "If something happens to you, your cousins won't forgive me."
"I have a plan to prevent that." Sadie looked at me with a mischievous grin and I looked at her wondering what plan a five foot four ginger like her could possibly have.
That plan led us to a self-defense store where Sallie bought all the tools she could use. From pepper sprays to makeshift. knives that could be pulled from belts and high-voltage tasers, Sadie filled her bag with joy and determination set in her eyes.
Not able to argue with that, I felt somewhat at ease that Sadie would be able to protect herself. So once Theon, Chelsea and Miro leave for the event, Sadie and I would sneak in to search Chelsea's room.
As soon as the self-defense shopping was done, Sadie decided it was time for my makeover and to find ourselves a dress for the King's Ball. We first had a thorough facial grooming where my brows were picked and facial hair removed. Then body grooming, which involved waxing and... tears.
After all that, we ended up with a spa massage that soothed all the pain before having our nails and feet done. Then, Sadie took me to a stylist, a g****y man, who gave me a little haircut and took my hair from sleek and straight to voluminous soft curls. I beamed at my new hairstyle, loving the curls that made me look a bit mature.
I
Since Sadie would handle my makeup, her stylist went on to make me try on a bunch of dresses and clothes to change my wardrobe. Two hours later, it had to take some begging to stop Sadie from piling on more clothes.
Now, it was time to shop for the King's Ball and after trying several dresses, it took a sleeveless red dress with a thigh-high slit to make Sadie and her stylist stand with their jaws down.
I turned to the mirror and gasped.
The chest area of the dress had the color of burnt wood that slowly blended out from the waist into the dark red color of fire.
GT.
I turned back to them, beaming and excited.
do you
The stylist simply gawked, making the 'OK' sign with his hand while Sadie looked at me like a proud Mom.
"You're going to be a knockout."
turned t
to the mirror smiling, believing her, then my smile faded. If only Theon could see me in this dress with his clear head. Maybe then he'd feel something for me.
Anyhoo. I checked my wristwatch and realized it was getting late.
"We need to get home soon." I told her and after settling the bills, our bags were carried to the car and then we left.
We waited
at
thome for some hours, both dressed in jeans and a shirt with our hairs packed.
According to what we told the Cresswells, it was just a simple search and grab, but in truth, Miro hinted that the guards could have been poisoned by Chelsea, but he wasn't sure because they all acted normally. Since he couldn't dismiss all of them in order not to look suspicious, it was up to me to go in and get the stuff.
At
Prior to this, he had informed them that I was coming to pick up something I forgot, and I was to be given access to anywhere I wanted. Now if I find guards at Chelsea's door, then I must abort, but if not, then I could go ahead. eight-oh-nine in the evening, Miro gave me the go-ahead and by then, Sadie and I were already parked somewhere close and hidden. We waited ten more minutes before approaching the house. On entering the compound, I noticed that there were a few guards on patrol and they nodded to us with a smile as we were let in. Afterward, we entered the elevator and rose to the penthouse. Sadie and I stared at each other in the mirror. Her face was flushed, but her eyes were resolute.
We were both wearing matching knife belts disguised as normal belts and in our pockets we had high voltage tasers. Hopefully, we won't have to resort to them. The elevator opened and after entering the security code; we entered.
True to Miro's words, there were five guards on the inside and he strictly emphasized on not engaging with them if I found them at Chelsea's door. The moment the guards saw me, they nodded with a smile and I tried to detect something off about them, but couldn't find any.
I gave them a small wave before going upstairs with Sadie.
Now, Chelsea's room was right before mine and as we walked down the hallway, we saw no one at the door. Sharing a happy glance, we hurried to it, and I made sure to listen for heartbeats in case they were on the inside, but I heard none. Excited, I turned the k***b but to my disappointment; it was locked,
"I've got this," Sadie said and before I knew what was happening she removed two hair pins from her head and with great concentration on her face, she worked the pins around until we had a soft click.
Smiling o herself, self, she put the pins back in her hair and I stood dumbfounded, staring at her.
"Where did you learn that?" I asked her in awe.
simply shrugged with an air of pride. "Online? Story for another day."
Agreeing that I must hear this story later, I turned the knob and went in. Then I froze, my jaw dropping as I took in Chelsea's bedroom.
08:33 Thu. Nov 14 GT Chapter 130
"Sacred Goddess!" Sadie whispered next to me. "How mad is this woman?"
Every inch of space on all the walls was covered with pictures of Theon. All taken while he was either unaware or posing for the press. I slowly walked into the room, taking in the greatest obsession I have ever witnessed. On her nightstand was a scrapbook and when I opened it, I saw picture cutouts from wedding magazines, couple and family magazines as well. All pasted in the book and all having her picture and Theon's picture planted on each adult male and female except for pictures of the children. Good Goddess!
No wonder Chelsea poisoned Theon. She really took the statement 'madly in love' to a whole new level.
"Ryn?" I
I turned
ned and discovered that Sadie had opened the closet. "You need to see this."
I crossed the room where she was and when I peered in, my heart plummeted.
Right in the center of the closet was something I could call a shrine?
Balanced on a table was a huge portrait of mine - a picture I took months ago for Lycantide High's yearly book. All around my portrait were lit red candles and on my eyes, red Xes were drawn with a marker. My face had been disfigured with vulgar words and drawings, and a red line had been drawn across my neck.
I swallowed as my eyes fell on the words she wrote in caps on the rest of my body.
"DIE! YOU LITTLE B****H! I HATE YOU!"
"Wow." Sadie's voice trembled. "She is really mad."
