Revenge
Chapter 17

We both place our bags inside the truck and head to the back to sit down together. Derek closes the trunk and heads to the front of the truck into the driver’s seat and Megan in the front seat. Derek starts the car, pulling out of the parking space then drives up the driveway and out the garage. It took us three hours to get to Ruby City. During the drive Derek talked to Megan trading information and refining the plan.

Ezra and I passed the time asking each other questions to learn more about each other.

After an hour I placed my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes to take a nap. As he takes out a book from his backpack and begins to read while I sleep. I started to dream about my animal, we were one and I was somewhere in the mountains. Looking around I took in the environment. It was gorgeous.

Everywhere was covered in snow. And there were trees as far as the eye can see. I begin to run my paws hitting the snow. Running to the top of the mountain, till I reached the top. Climbing up the tree I lay down on a branch and took in the view.

The sky was a mix of purple and pink. The sun was at the horizon mark. I couldn’t tell if it was sunset or sunrise. Regardless, the view that I saw took my breath away. And couldn’t help but sigh with contentment. I was gently woken up by Ezra. Sitting up I yawn, stretching out my arms. I start to rub the sleep from my eyes.

“We’re here little one”, Ezra says.

“When we complete this hit you will be calling me the deadly one”, I grin.

“We’ll see about that. Who knows I might kill him before you do”

I hmph “fat chance.”

And look out the window to take in my surroundings. It was now mid afternoon. The city was a decent size and it looked pretty busy. There was more advertisement for BefWellington’s opponent than there was for BefWellington. Which made me think that either two things were happening here.

Either he didn’t replace his opponent a threat or he was confident that he would not be losing his re-election. Too bad for him he will not be alive to see the voting day. Derek pulls into a house in a more woodsy area. Or what could be considered woodsy for a city area. I haven’t been here long and I already hated being here. And missed being surrounded by threes.

As the car came to a stop and we all got out. I turn to Ezra.

“When we buy our home, I want it near a lot of trees. I am not going to budge on that”, I say in a matter of fact tone.

“Honestly, baby I agree. I’m not going to argue with you there”

We take our bags out and take them to our room. Placing them down before turning to leave back out the house to help Derek with the rest of the equipment and bags. The house was a one story home with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. It was gated in the back with a decent yard. The font had a gravel driveway and trees lining the property.

The house was lightly furnished. With a seating area in the living room consisting of a love sofa with comfy chairs and table with a tea set on top. The den had an L- sofa with an ottoman foot rest. In front of the sofa was a flat screen television. I’m guessing around fifty inches, which works for me in case I want to watch a movie while we are here.

Our bedrooms were not as spacious as our suites back home but they were big enough to house us all. The bed was king size with soft bedding and a mountain full of pillows. I wasn’t expecting there to be so many but at least Ezra and I will be comfortable. Adjacent to the best on both sides were night stands. In front of the bed was a chest of drawers with a tv above it.

I assume it was the same in everyone else’s room as well. The furnishings were warm and the colors were kept in neutral tones. The tones made me want to go back home.

But with this job looming over us and how important it is to us. I could not afford to allow this man to live. We would have to get this job done and get it done right. I would have to handle it until our mission is completed. I will make Natsu pay for all the pain she has caused me all those years ago.

Ezra and I both set our bags down. We begin to unpack, putting our things away in the drawers. When we were finished we took inventory of what weapons we had and how many we brought.

“Ezra honey, how strong are these new blades and shurikens?” I ask, setting my blades out before me all.

“The are made of tungsten so there shouldn’t be any reason for them to break on you at all.” he responds

“Does your source have any back up for me in case I need them?”

“Oh he says just send a message when you need new ones and how many. So he knows the quantity to make.” Ezra says with a smile.

“What about you, do you have enough bullets for the job that you need?” I ask him

Ezra laughs, “honey, if you’re that nervous we could alway go another round to make you destress.”

Blushing, I quickly look away, “I am not nervous and your charm won’t work on me this time.”

“Oh really, then why are your cheeks rose pink even under your fur?” Ezra teases.

“I..I am going to go take a shower and change” I quickly stand up grab a set of clothes and practically run to the bathroom.

Setting my clothes on the small table inside. I couldn’t believe I bolted like that. I feel so mortified and I can still hear Ezra chuckling in the room. I swear that man makes a point to make me blush at least sometime during the day. I start the water and set the water temperature to just the way I like it.

Stripping off my clothes I toss them into a hamper by the sink. Then step inside the shower letting the water rain down on my back in a relaxing pattern. As I lather my body I can hear someone knock on our door. And Ezra gets up to go answer it. Another voice I can hear but it is difficult to make out with the water running.

I quickly rinse off and shut the water down. There is no way I was going to miss any details about the plan so long as I could help it. Grabbing a towel I dry off and get dressed. Looking at myself in the mirror I examine my outfit. It was my favorite blue owl crop top black t-shirt with my black mini skirt that hit mid thigh and knee high black sock.

I make a quick twirl liking how the clothes fit and the custom hole for my tail. After my last couple of outfits. I made sure to ask Megan for custom clothes in my style that can accommodate my tail. I had to say they fit pretty well and are not tight on my tail. I let my hair stay down and brush it out.
