Katarina and Emmalyn have been driving for what felt like hours. The adrenaline wearing off from the events at the casino. Both girls are relatively quiet, Katarina trying to figure out her next steps. Getting anxious now as she headed to the town she grew up in, once Laura took her after her mothers death she had no desire to return. The town brings back both so many good, and sad memories for Katarina. Laura wanted to bring her up, away from the glitz and glamour, in a humble home, give her the life she knew Cassandra would have wanted. Then Katarina saw it, the sign she passed on so many trips in and out of the city with her mom.
¨THE HALLOWS¨
Katarina looked over at her best friend who had her head propped on the seat beside her, fast asleep. She began anxiously rubbing her hands, not knowing what awaited her. She looked down at her right hand, where a beautiful sapphire ring,adorned with a halo of diamonds, sat on her finger. This was a ring left to Katarina from her fathers will; a piece of jewelry from his mothers estate. It meant alot to her, something to feel closer to that side of her family.
“I am going to get Blaine back, Dad...I promise you that” she whispered looking own at her ring
She nudged Emmalynn, trying to arouse her from her impromptu nap.
¨Are we here..? Emmalyne said excitedly, wiping her blonde matted hair, from the side of her face as she looked out of the window
¨Ÿou grew up here¨!? Emmalyne gasped, ¨Ëxacty how rich were your parents?¨ she said looking at Katarina
¨Money isn't everything Em..¨ Katarina remarked
¨Better than not having any, Kat!¨ Emmalyn said snidely
“I think we are here..” Katarina said nervously
Emmalyns eyes wide as they pulled into a driveway which seemed to just keep going. A gorgeous stone mansion at the end. Katarina was stopped at the metal gates. She pressed the intercom.
Intercom:” Hello, who am i speaking to?¨said a woman
Katarina:¨ Katarina Hamilton, Dannỳ`s Niece¨
Intercom:¨ Katarina, sweet, sweet Katarina….we haven't seen you in so long¨ the voice said sweetly
Katarina:¨ Hi Maria, please get my uncle this is urgent¨
With that the gates opened presently the beautiful home. Some many memories of times with her mom here. She pulled up to the front door handing her keys to the valet. Both her and Emmalyn get out of the car.
Emmalyn looked around “So fancy¨ she joked as Katarina rolled her eyes.
They walked through the front door, directly in front of them was a twin staircase, leading to the upper floors. Red carpeted with black Stars, indicative of the ¨Starr name¨. The back wall hung portraits, the center portrait, her mother and father, pictures adorning both sides of her, her brother Danny and the deceased love of his life Jenn. Katarina broke her gaze to see Emmalyn knocking down a vase, worth probably more than both of their yearly salaries. She ran over and grabbed it before it met the ground.
¨My lovely Niece” a males voice echoed from the hallway
Katarina whips around to see her uncle standing before her. The playful look; she had with Emmalyn was wiped away by his presence.
¨What is going on, Danny? Where the hell is my brother?¨ She said angered
¨Ïs that a way to greet your uncle¨ Danny said playfully touching her hair
Katarina swatting his gesture, and raising an eyebrow to him
¨The fuck Danny,I was just shot at….at your casino?! ¨explain to me that and where Blaine is and maybe i'll give you a warmer greeting¨ She said aggravated
¨God, you are so much like your mother¨ he said with a laugh
Running out of patience Katarina grabbed him
¨Where is Blaine?¨ Katarina Demanded
Danny motioned the girls to follow him as he walked into a large sitting room. Two leather chairs lined the wall and he sat behind a large wooden desk. Emmalyn, still in a trance staring at all the expensive trinkets lining his office.
¨Here's the thing K, you know how this world is. In order for me to run my businesses the way I wanted, I had to make some promises to the heads of state. They knew you and your brother had special abilities, and in exchange for my free enterprises i would need to hand one, or both of you over to the Pearl Fusion, to aid in their army.¨ he said matter of fact
Katarina eyes widening, her fists clenching
¨You sold us to THEM¨ she screamed
¨Look, it was right after your father was killed. A Lot of us had to make decisions quickly, I didn`t think they would actually collect on it. K, you have to believe I thought I was doing what was best for both of you.¨ he said sinking into his chair
¨Don´t give me that bullshit, YOU were doing what was best for YOU¨ She scolded him
¨You always did what was best for you. You never gave a shit about us. AHHH” She yelled
Not giving him a chance to respond
¨None of it matters now. How do we get Blaine back¨ she asked
¨These are dangerous men, my hands are tied.¨ he stated
"Then untie them¨ she said pointing her finger at him
¨K, they control everything. They promised he would fight alongside them, he wouldn`t be hurt¨ Danny said honestly
¨You trust the people that killed dad. They came shooting for me, what do they want from me?" She said suddenly remembering Blaine wasn't the only one being tracked down She grabbed her face staring at him
¨They believe your ability to tell the future could benefit them greatly in their attacks, against the neighboring nations.¨ he said nervously
¨I am not going, this is bullshit. I am not some toy that can be traded like pokemon cards¨ she said strongly
¨And if you won`t get him, I will. I will finish what dad started, and get my brother back.¨
¨Nice to meet you.¨"Emmalynn said awkwardly as she followed Katarina out the door.
