《Reaper's Girl》Chapter 11: Meeting The Club
Advertisement
I wake up feeling a small weight on my chest. I open my eyes and see my beautiful baby boy sleeping on my chest fisting my shirt. 'What happened,' I think before trying to get up. As soon as I move my abdomen starts to hurt, I let a small yelp of pain. Just minutes after Drake comes running into the room. "Are you ok!" he exclaims swiftly checking for any more injuries. "I-I'm fine but what happened?" I ask laying back down. "You were shot last night," He says, his eyes turning a darker shade of blue. "I- I was what!" I yelled jumping up but instantly falling down in pain. My franticness woke up Kai and he started crying. "It's ok little guy," Drake says picking Kai up and rocking home back and forth instantly calming him.
"Look I'm sorry about what happened it's all my fault you got hurt," Drake says sadly looking down not being able to meet my eyes. Before I could think my arms are wrapped around him in a tight hug. I didn't care if my stomach was burning with pain, he needed reassurance, it wasn't his fault I got shot. "It wasn't your fault, you weren't the one holding the gun," I say letting a tear slip down my cheek. "It's should have been me what if something worse happened you have your son to care for," Drake says with a kiss on my forehead. "And you have your club to take care of," I say rubbing my thumb u and down his cheek.
"Ok love birds time to break it up," A tall man with black hair and grey eyes says from the doorway. "Way to break up the sentimental moment Ace," Drake says rolling his eyes. I just glare at him before sitting back down on the bed. "What! Emma is waiting for the both of you so we can eat breakfast," The man I now know is Ace says walking out the room. "Time to eat I guess," Drake says turning back to me. I just nod before getting back up slowly and follow Drake to a lounging area. "Let me introduce you to my club family," Drake says looking at all the people in the room.

It took almost an hour and a half to introduce me to everyone, It turns out I had already met Emma cause she's the girl who does my nails, I also met some of the other Girlfriends/Old Ladies, Alana, and another girl named Dalia. "So how do you like it here so far," Dalia asks taking a sip of her orange juice. "I like it everyone is so nice here," I say, my gaze meeting Drakes. "If you don't mind me asking where's Kai's father," Alana asks. "O-oh umm He didn't really want him so I left," I say giving clipped answers about my previous relationship. "I can tell that's not all but we're not gonna push you to answer," Emma says rubbing my shoulder before getting up to go over to her Husband.
After they asked about Kai's father I just stayed quiet listening to them tell funny stories about Drake and their husbands. "So Aniya I heard you were willing to help us with our little 'problem'," Prez says pulling up a chair to our table. "Yes, I did agree, because I know the importance of family," I say taking a sip from my water. He nods before saying "All you have to do is apply for a job at Club Cheeta in Savannah GA, scope out the club then report to us, and we'll d the rest of the work." As soon as he said Club CHeetah I was frozen in fear.
My Ex may not live in the US but he does own some clubs here in Georgia and Club Cheetah being one of them, that's how he found us last time. "C-Club Cheetah?" I ask just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. "Yes, Club Cheetah you have a problem with that club," Drake asks coming up behind me. "I...I-It's just that I used to work there and um Kai's dad owns that club," I say mumbling the last part. "Wait what?" Ace asks coming out of the kitchen. "I thought Kai's dad was from the UK," Drake says completely confused. "He does live in the UK but he has a couple of businesses here in the US, Club Cheeta being one of them," I say rubbing my temples.

"I don't know if sending Aniya to scope out the club is a good idea she isn't on the best terms with her Ex," Dalia says budding into the conversation. "I agree to," Emma says. "Guys ill be fine if I wear my usual shades and put on a wig I won't be that noticeable," I say standing up exasperated. 'The worst he'll do is beat me,' I think or so I thought...

The City of the Dragon Twisted
. 🐉 . The City of The Forever-Peace witnesses a pale young Buddhist Monk fighting his fearful thoughts of whether to cross the borders to Nepal and India against the death penalty. Why would that matter? In that September Autumn night of circa A.D.655, Emperor Táme’ Tie’-Zeon has been ruling an empire spanning 13,000 miles from the East to as far as the Baikal Sea in the Western Regions bordering the Middle East kingdom and the Rome Empire. Meanwhile, news has traveled that his Dharma-Son, Pan G. Monk faces an incredible Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves. The Empress Wǔl Zénder-Tan’ couldn't be careless. Why would that matter to the imperial family? Monks are just officials with equal vicarious duties and privileges. She would then spare her resourceful energy to maintain the fruitful relationship intertwining The Grand-Khan Jurchen-Warlords Clans in the North-East Desert in attempts to affirm her fate as the first and only female-Emperor, in the Medieval Ages of the Great City of the Dragon. Whereas The Abbot Master Xend'-Zeon of the Jade-Lotus Temple faces factions of religious politics. Particularly in the present, the Empress needed to manipulate the Master’s reputation to desperately seek life and/or the after-life merits. She decreed to be addressed as The Old Buddha Grand Father. The Master has had ideals of service to sentient beings since he was young. He could have traveled the Silk Road to the Far West entrance-point bypassing the five beacons as shortcuts save that he lacks the pertinent travel documents. Instead, he chose to cross the 800-mile овь-Gobi Desert that is as vast as the Baikal Sea, on foot. A route that is impossible in the history of the Buddha dharma. His heart never withers to support the mage of the red lotus that promises the Enlightenment of the Buddha-Land. Except that no one has ever endured the latitude of the heat. The pain. Alive, out of the desert sea. But he is also vulnerable to recognize the un-staticity of The Truth, The Truth itself, and the truth of seeking passion and mission for compassion in humankind. The mind and body reciting The Sūtra and The Heart, A phenomenon they knew better as if souls in chemical layers of their physique. Realizing enhanced mind training attaining controlling powers of life and death. Realizing the transformation of the unbearable pains and grievances he thought possible. . 2 . 🐉 . Meanwhile, dreams have been watching him to open The Third Eye, at The City's Amethyst-Jade Palace of the Second Emperor, Third Emperor, and Fourth Empress.

Lives at brinks of suicidal choices slaughtering ordeals. Who have inadvertently neglected the Master's karmic inflictions that would paradoxically affirm in a point of Near-Death Experiences; The Two-Profound-Reflective presented upon attaining The Deep-Active-Meditatitive Flow of Equanimity Samādhi. Eventually, The Seer Consciousness sees the Active Heart that is replete with The Latent Unconditional Love, Compassion And Empathy; that had been so close to us that we could not see it; as if one cannot see her own face. . 3 . 🐉 . Meanwhile also, the Imperial Criminal Affairs Clerk Ewen Hawk-Jean suffers too much seeking possession of desires and relief from a certain situation. Pan G., the Assistant Dharma-Translator to the Abbott Master Xend'-zeon has voluntarily or otherwise fallen into the supposed conspiracy or plain indifference. The imperial family's agenda of the Imperial Family of The Fang’-Chucks of course longs for a waist cut in halves not simply as souvenirs. Awaiting the Abbot Master is to come out from the disturbance. Incredibly transformative factors of the Mind-Transcendence-Samadhi are profoundly desired to spare the Monk Pan G. from the Post-Autumn Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves...... …But why would it matter to You?
