Chapter 15- Clan meeting (2)
(ROSEMARY P.O.V)
I followed behind Sage as we walked up the stage. My grandfather looked happy to see us, honestly I was also happy to see him.
When we made our way upon the stage, my grandfather introduced us. After that, he called up Cena and another young girl named Kenai. I guess they are also sisters.
The girl Cena looked at Sage and I with a dirty look on her face. This stupid bitch was already showing her true colors. I know she's Na"mah 's daughter, but all I had on my mind was smashing her face in. Get along? You wish grandfather, I mumbled to myself.
Na'mah came on stage handing something to grandfather, I looked at Cena and she had an evil look on her face. I put my hand out to shake her and she ignored me until grandfather turned back around. She stupidly showed a fake smile. Soon as our grandfather turned around again towards Na'mah I pulled her towards me. She looked like I caught her off guard.
"Fix your face bitch", I said. And she slapped my hand away. I smirked. And she pushed me, almost making me fall off stage.
Sage was able to catch me because of her fast reflexes. And I pushed her and hopped on top of her.
Grandfather turned away after the commotion broke out, and pulled us apart.
"What the hell is going on?", he asked in an angry tone.
Cena rolled her eyes at me and walked off the stage. I slapped grandfather's hand away wanting to go after her. Sage grabbed my arm and shook her head.
Grandfather looked very pissed, he pulled me and went after Cena grabbing both of by the ear and dragged us off the stage.
" What do you two think you're doing?he asked in a very pissed off tone.
Cena pointed at me and then at Sage.
"I can see her being our cousin," she said pointing at me. " But how do we know if she belongs to this family?"she said, pointing at Sage.
Sage walked up and stood in Cenas face.
"I'm her sister, we are fraternal twins", she said, looking confident.
The room went silent. And grandfather walked towards Sage.
"They are sisters", he said. He pulled an envelope and took out some papers.
"This is their DNA test", he said, "They are sisters, and they are my daughters' children, he stated I use the hair on Natalie brush that she had, I never changed anything in her room", he continued on.
Cena looked at me and walked off.
My grandfather sighed.
"Don't worry about her, she sees you two as competitions", he said.
I scoffed and moved closer to Sage. She gave a high five thinking anyone noticed, but of course Peyton saw us. And she wasn't very happy.
My grandfather went back up on the stage. And try to break the atmosphere.
"Now that I have proof that their my granddaughters, I want everyone to stand up and welcome them", he said in a demanding tone
Everyone in the room stood on their feet and bowed once.
We bowed back as a courtesy, of course.
"Everyone, I have some information I would like to share", he said. " Sage and Rosemary are also the daughters of former crown prince Moises Vanuatu", he said, looking around the room.
One older man stood up, " how could this happen, the royals are our enemies", he shouted.
Everyone in the room began to shout. My grandfather slammed his hand down on the podium, " enough", he yelled.
"Whether you bitch or moan about it, doesn't change the fact that they're my granddaughters", he shouted.
The older man gritted his teeth and sat back down.
"Sage and Rosemary, as long as you two are here, you have to follow the Clans rules you will train at the academy, I'm not saying you have to become mercenaries, but as clan rule you have to train as long as you are within the territory", he said.
Sage and I nodded our heads.
"Yeshiva since you are their bodyguard you have to train them before going", he ordered Yeshiva.
Yeshiva stood towards and bowed.
"Meeting dismissed, elders follow me to my office", grandfather said.
The elder all got up and followed behind grandfather.
The other members started to leave as well, leaving behind only Cena, Kenai, Yeshiva, and Na'mah. Sage and I glanced at each other and started to walk out the hall.
"Hey, as long as you two are here, you better stay in your place", Cena shouted at us.
Sage and I didn't turn back and just pointed our middle fingers at her and walked out.
(PEYTON'S P.O.V)
I knew Rosemary was crazy, but I wasn't expecting her to start a fight", I thought to myself as I held my head.
That was pretty badass, I'm impressed they handled themselves so well", Yeshiva said standing next to me.
" You have no clue how crazy they are", I said, getting a major headache knowing these two are going to get themselves in trouble.
"If they want to survive here, they have to be a little crazy", he stated, " well let's go check on our girls", he sad sounding excited
"Our girls?" I asked him jokingly.
" Hey I've been waiting for someone to knock Cena off her high horse, she thinks she can become the next Chief one day", he stated.
I made an Oh facial expression, " is that why she is so hostile to Sage and Rosie", I asked.
"Yeah, more direct lineage to the main family, means more competition, and since Masiro only has granddaughters he would have to choose one of them or if they get married one of the husbands becomes Chief", he stated.
I understood very well what he meant, after all I grew up in a family full of Knights, I thought to myself.
"Where is Massey?", Yeshiva asked, interrupting me.
"He's currently in the room trying to find more information on who else King Lincoln has tracking the girls", I explained to him.
He made a look filled with curiosity, " Do you know why he's afraid of the girls' ', he asked.
" My guess is because he considered them illegitimate children, you know how he treats commoners, and for his son, the crown prince of the kingdom to have kids with one is probably boiling his brain alive", I said.
Yeshiva chuckled, " Yeah that man is a totally nut job, I can definitely see him trying to kill his own grandchildren for stupid reasons like that", he said.
"Hey Yeshiva, can you do me a favor ?, I asked him
Yeshiva looked at me, "depends on what the favorite is", he said, with a stupid looking smile.
"I need you to keep an eye on the girls, while I go and see Moises, right now it's still too dangerous to have the girls out in the open '' I said , pleading with my eyes.
"Since I'm their bodyguard I have no choice, by the time you come back, I'm going to have those girls become killing machines", he said with a creepy looking grin.
"Hey, I'll kick your ass if anything happens to them, while I'm gone", I said looking him straight in his eyes.
He backed up holding his hands up in a playful surrendering stance.
"Yes ma'am" , he said, still with that stupid grin.
I started to walk off to go check on the girls, and then a thought crossed my mind. I looked back at Yeshiva, I looked him up and down, sizing him up.
He looked at me confused, " What's that look for?", he asked.
"Make sure you keep your dick in your pants, they're still under age for another 2 weeks", I said and walked off. I left him standing there looking even more confused.
(SAGE'S P.O.V)
Rosie and I took a walk in the garden after Na'mah told us we could wander around the territory freely. We walked through the left side of the garden, it was filled with roses bushes. It led to a little green house, next to a little pond. Rosie and I were amazed at the sight. The door opened and an older woman who looked to be around her sixties or seventies, came walking out holding a little flower pot. I noticed she couldn't walk well and was taking careful little steps. I walked forward toward where she was, it looked like she was about to lose her balance. Rosie and I rushed over to catch as she did end up losing her balance.
"Oh, thank you very much," she said, grabbing on to my hand.
"I'm sorry, I can't see very well", she said, while trying to hold on to the flower pot. Rose grabbed the pot and held her hand.
" Where are you headed to miss?", she asked.
The woman smiled, " I'm going to water some herbs, she said.
"We can help you", I said to her.
She welcomed the help and we took our time helping her take small steps.
"Who are you two young ladies?", I don't think I've heard your voices before", she asked.
"I'm Sage", I replied.
"I'm Rosemary", Rosie said.
The woman looked teary eyed and she gripped our hand, "Ahh what lovely names", she said, looking a little sad, " I remembered Natalie saying, she was going to name her daughters if she ever had them", she said.
Rosie and I looked at each other and nagged.
"Umm ma'am", I paused trying to find the words.
"Natalie is our mother", Rosie said.
The old woman was taken aback and lifted her hands up to Rosie and I's faces.
"You're Natalie's daughters?", she asked, almost shedding a tear.
Rosie and I said yes at the same time, and the woman engulfed us in a hug.
" I was your mother's nanny", she said.
Rosie and I hugged the woman back but was interrupted when a man came up to us reaching for the old woman.
"Grandmother you shouldn't be moving", he said looking at her with concern.
He looked up at us and nodded his head.
"It's good to meet you, I heard about you at the clan meeting, I'm Jemas Blairsville", he started holding his hand out.
" Hey isn't he the one on the danger list", Rosie whispered in my ear.
I looked at Jemas while he was trying to hold his hand out, I extended my hand shaking his, of course he gripped my hand so tight I wanted to step on his foot.
Jemas grabbed the flower pot from Rosie and held his grandmother's hand and walked away.
"Great, now we met two assholes in one day", she mumbled under her breath.
"Hey girls", we heard a voice behind us.
We turned around and saw our grandfather and a man dressed like a butler. We headed toward where he was standing.
"Do you two need anything, I can get Henry here to get everything for you", he said, looking at us with a soft expression.
"Crossbows, bows, arrows", I said immediately, I really missed my crossbows, I thought to myself.
"You know how to do archery I heard from Ms. Peyton", he said, and I nodded my head.
"Get everything that involves archery", he told Henry, and he wrote it down on a notepad.
"And what about you Rosemary ", grandfather said with a smile.
Rosie paused for a minute thinking to yourself.
"I'm only good at anything involving track and field", she said.
Grandfather put his hand on his chin and rubbed his beard and looked like he was deep in thought while he seemed to be studying us.
"Rosemary how about learning swordsmanship since you're good with speed and Sage since you are already good with archery and have good eyes, how about you learn how to shoot different types of weaponry", he started looking us up and down. " Since the Kingdom of Vanuatu is more traditional and they are not equipped to handle weapons like we mercenaries are able to, it'll be to our advantage when we put the plan together to rescue my daughter", he said, still rubbing his beard.
"I want to learn", I said looking up at him.
Rosie nodded and agreed.
"Grandfather had a smile on his face, "Good, I'll have Yeshiva and Jemas train you", he said.
"I guess we're going to meet that asshole again after all", Rosie whispered to me.
I mouthed to her to shut up.
(PEYTON'S P.O.V)
I finally got my bag packed and ready to go. Massey booked us a flight to the location Moises is in. I couldn't wait to show him pictures of the girls.
I heard a knock on the door and went to open it. When I opened it and I saw it was Sage and Rosie.
"Wait, why are the two of you covered in grass?", I asked them.
"While we're talking to grandfather sage told me to shut up, and after grandfather left I tackled her", Rosie said, looking confident like she won.
"It was a cheap shot I wasn't even looking," Sage said grumbling.
"I heard you were leaving", Rosie asked me.
"Yeah I have to go see your father, you two will have to stay since it isn't safe for either one of you.
We nodded our heads and Peyton put her hand on our heads caressing our hair.
" I expect you two to be careful while I'm gone", she stated, "And you", she said looking at Rosie, "No flirting with Yeshiva", she said.
I can tell Rosie likes Yeshiva, she stares at him every time she sees him.
Rosie shrugged her shoulders and walked across the hall to our room. I felt a little hungry, and decided to go downstairs.
"Hey Rosiez I'm going to see if there's something to eat", I said walking towards the stairs, Rosie nodded and walked into the room.
I stood on the stairs looking at the walls full of pictures. Soon as I turned around to walk down the stairs, I felt someone push me.
Before I knew it, I was on the floor blackening out.
