Conspiracy

Sasha moved over to the window, staring out into the night as she brought the glass of shining red liquid to her lips to take a sip. She was alone now, Fenton had left, more then like to try and smooth things over with his girl, at least she had been able to smooth things over at last, but she feared there was now a new weariness put into him of her. And there was the problem now of his girlfriend, if she was one of the blood, that could change everything. How could this be happening? She suddenly found herself so uncertain of her fate, as it had been thrown somehow in the hands of others. Of variables she could not control.

A knock came at the door drawing her from her spiraling thoughts, whether she was grateful for the interruption or not she was not certain, of course she would know that knock from anywhere. She could show no sign of her uncertainy now. "Just a moment" She called out in her honey sweet voice as she stepped away from the window and took a moment to get herself in order just before the mirror. Her face smoothed over and she locked her thoughts away then moved over to drape herself over one of the chairs just before the fireplace. "Come in"

Once the door was open the figure that stood there filled the doorway, both in just the sheer force of his presence, and his physical stature. Despite being Luca’s twin, Nicoli was the opposite of his brother in every possible way. "Did I interrupt something?" He said with his usual devil’s charm that air of mischievous always surrounding him underplayed by something much darker. He was dangerous in that there was no question, but he lacked something that Luca processed. Perhaps it was because of his generally rough nature. They were both charming but in completely different ways. Luca’s charm was sophisticated, while Nicoli’s charm was the typical bad boy sort of charm.

He stepped into the room pulling the door closed behind him as Sasha tilted her head up to watch him rolling her eyes at his comment she brought her glass to her lips once more. "Wouldn’t you like to know?" She said silkily. Nicoli walked over to the hearth and looked to the fire for a moment as he propped his arm just against the mantel before looking back over to her, a few dark strands of his hair slipped just in his eyes. "In your case I probably rather not. I take it we are alone now? Your little pet scampered away?" 

Sasha drew down her thin high arched black brows as a frown turned upon her red painted lips, Nicoli always was so crass, and Fenton was the last thing she wished to think or talk about just now. Her voice took on a slight edge "Yes we are alone, and he is not my pet as you put it, unless you have forgotten why we are doing this." She knew she could not keep what she had found out from him forever, but she had thought it best not to tell him just yet. She needed more time to think it over.

Her sudden tone would cause him alarm something was not right, he pushed off from the fireplace and walked toward where she was seated moving to stand behind the chair as he placed his hands just upon the back of the chair. "My my, someone is in a bad mood, did something happen?" Sasha tilted her head up to look to him where he stood just over her and she would give a shake of her head as she tried to laugh it off bringing up one of her hands she trailed her fingers along his arm. "Wrong? No nothing is wrong"

Though her ticks might work on others, she was clever Nicoli would give her that, he knew her too well, he knew her tactics, and he was not so easily won over. His hand caught her by the wrist as he pulled her up forcing her to rise from the chair he yanked her forward. "There is something you are not telling me" There lingered something particularly ominous in his voice.

Sasha tugged away from him as she ripped her arm free from his grip, at first overtaken by fury as she backed away from him but kept her eyes fixed upon him as her chin trusted upward. She knew there was no point now in trying to keep it from him and she turned away slightly. "There was an incident, I had some trouble with Fenton, but I was able to smooth things over, apparently" she paused a moment before she proceeded, "that little girl of his was here"¦.she saw him, and well I suppose they exchanged words and he blamed me for running his whole life" Nicoli’s hand dropped to his side as she pulled away and he just stood there and watched her as she spoke, but something told him there was more to it then that, though he knew better then to push her too hard, she could be quite impossible. "What do you mean his girl was here?" She turned back to the window for a moment, she knew this would not be easy, but what could she do? "He said"¦that she was wearing a mask."

Nicoli was frozen he felt as if ice suddenly filled his veins "How could you have let this happen"¦..how could you not have known beforehand? Do you know what this could mean?" Sasha spun around to face him fully. Did he really think he could put this all on her? "There is no possible way I could have known"¦.he would not even so much as tell me what she looked like let alone give me her name"¦he was intent on protecting her from"¦well us" A light chuckle would pass from her lips at this as she dropped down upon the couch. "Turns out he did not have to"

He wondered how she had managed to be so smug all the time. It could be maddening. "Do you find this funny? What if he decides to tell her about you? About what you are doing?" Sasha tilted her head as she looked up to him, he was really riled up about this, though she did not see the point, and accusations would get none of them anywhere, if he could just learn sometimes to control his emotions and think things through. "There is nothing we can do about it now. He could not tell her even if he wanted to not with the bond."

"I do not like it" Nicoli persisted, as he began to pace within the space of the room back and forth in front of the fireplace. "Maybe we should just get rid of him this has become too much of a risk, we will just have to find another way" Sasha pushed herself up to stand and walked over to him as she came to stand just in front of him, checking his pacing she slid her arms around him as she looked into his eyes, her voice became almost a croon, as if to try and coax him. "Would you listen to yourself? I have him under control as long as I have the bond, he cannot do anything whatever happens, and what do you suppose will happen if he suddenly disappears? The last thing we want is one of the blood starting to snoop around our business, and don’t you think she is going to be a little suspicious if he were to vanish shortly after being located here? He is our only chance and you know it, because if we do not get it right the first time we won’t have anything left to worry about."
