Meanwhile, in Mexico... 18Please respect copyright.PENANAPTpxVlcvYR
"what do you mean you can't find her?" Santiago roared knocking down a chair "did she suddenly grow wings?" Enzo just stood by the door, not daring to come close "there was an intruder sir" a guard on his knees stammered looking to his colleagues for help "somebody attacked us sir" another buttressed "attacked?" "yes sir, the figure was dressed in all black with a hood on so we couldn't see the person's face sir" the guard continued "and where were you?" Enzo spoke this time".
"I went to fulfill an order sir, and when I came back, all the guys where unconscious sir" he explained "unconscious? you mean someone came to rescue her?" Santiago inquired "yes sir" "I see..." he narrowed his eyes then turned to Enzo "deploy the teams in Mexico and Jamaica, let them search every nook and cranny of the country, I want her here by tomorrow" he said making his way out of the room "and if not.." he turned abruptly glaring at the guards "your heads and pitiful families will pay for it" then he walked out.
Carl's POV.
I couldn't believe my eyes, a Brown, delivered on a platter, although I don't know this one, she has the same annoying domineering aura like the rest of her damned family. The worst part is the council is opting to protect her? are they blind? why can't everyone see them for who they really are? I don't have the answers to these questions, but if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that she will pay. For her sins, and that of her family.
Jasmine's POV.
"I can't do this" I barged into the meeting room and came face to face with some of the council members, Carl excluded (thankfully) "Jasmine shouldn't you be in training with the girls?" a brown haired woman said and I scoffed "training? doing what? learning how to use a nail polish? or plait my hair? do I look like a proper girl to you? to any of you even?" I raised my voice up a notch, I've been nurturing this in my heart all night, and might just implode if I don't let it out. "Jaz it's not all about that, there's more to it, the training teaches girls in the camp how to treat our protectors during war and helps.." the calm voice from the other day spoke "helps? will sitting here looking pretty and treating a bunch of folks going to help me put a bullet in Santiago's head? will it?" I interrupted.
"Jasmine you need to calm down" Dolores said and I looked at her, this is all her fault anyway "no I need to go home" "what?" Carl who just entered exploded "I said I want to go home" I repeated "are you crazy?" he asked looking at me "the last time I checked, no" "then maybe you should check again" he said then added "we are trying to protect you" "I can protect myself" I said crossing my arms "oh yeah?" he scoffed then brought out his phone to show me a short video of some uniformed guys parading the streets then complimented it harshly "these are Santiago's men, they're parading the streets looking for anything similar to your shadow" he said retrieving his phone "your point exactly?" I spoke in a bored tone "we're helping you dummy" another scoff "helping me? how? by keeping me prisoner?" he was getting on my last nerve "is this what you call prisoner?" he scoffed (seems like one of his fav habits "left to me you'll be in handcuffs" he taunted and I snickered "that wouldn't be much of a surprise, since you're obviously the dumbest person here"
"what did you say?" he asked enraged "you need hearing aid or something?" I taunted and he opened his mouth to speak then shut it abruptly as if having second thoughts "I am sick and tired to your rudeness and effrontery..." "you think? how do you think I feel, when all you do is make noise and throw your weight around" I said to his face "well, maybe I'm annoying, but at least I'm not selfish" "selfish?" I spat the word out like it burned my tongue "yes, selfish, don't you know that if Santiago and his men get their hands on you they'll get access to the arites thereby endangering everyone?" what? is he accusing me now? "I don't give a damn about what happens to any of you, if you thought about me or the way I feel since you've brought me here you wouldn't have ushered me out of the room that day and treated me like a ticking bomb ever since, knowing fully well that I know nothing about this arites shit farm"
I felt my voice rise "we're trying to protect you by keeping you here" he raised his voice also "and I don't need your hypocritical protection, I'd rather die in the hands of strangers than sit here and fade slowly in the hands of those who call themselves my family" we were facing each other now "well too bad cause you aren't going anywhere" "take me back home or.." I threatened "or what?" "or I'll bring this effing building down" my voice boomed and bounced off the walls of the room causing the ceiling to rattle. I clamped my hand over my mouth instinctively, not believing that the sound came out of my mouth.
I looked around, every one in the room had wide eyes, except the brat of course who just scoffed then added scornfully "why am I not surprised, after all this is what an ambingar does, cause turbulence" I glared at him, then without thinking, lunged at his stupid face, scratching it.
