Chapter 3

Present

“Do you think the plane will catch on fire once it lands?”

Looking at her sister Jezzebelle gave her the shocked look. Her sister looked at her and smiled.

“Whhhaaatttttt, we could always get lucky you know.”

Jezzebelle laughed out loud and so hard that she ended up bumping into someone behind her. She turned quickly and apologized to the guy and as she turned she noticed the eyes. Three shaded of blue. Shocked she had to do a second glance but once she did there was no one behind her. Her sister was busy looking for their boss. Jezzebelle turned around again hoping to see those blue eyes again. She didn’t know if its just because she missed him so much that she was seeing things or she started to believe she was being followed.

“JZ, Anna I’m here!”

Groaning with displeasure, Jezzebelle turned and looked right at her manager.

“Well damn, your plane didn’t catch on fire, it looks like your still here.”

Matthew Rimure was a Artist Scapegoat meaning he liked to suck more money from his singers rather than being fair. Luckily Jezzebelle had been taught by the King on how handle such idiotic things.

Her boss stopped short of the girls and took his sunglasses off his eyes trying to act all cool at her but all it did was make her sign with displeasure along with making her more agitated.

“What bit you on the butt and made you very cranky. I think you need to get laid.”

Anna snickered and looked away from her older sister and Jezzebelle felt a muscle twitch near her right eye as she held up a fist shaking it at him.

“Who do you think is causing all of my headaches.”

That’s when her little sister roared with laughter. Turning her head sharp at her little sister Jezzebelle gave her the death stare look that told Anna she was in some hot water. Their boss had short black hair with a blue greenish eye color and you can definitely tell where his age was he had wrinkles forming around his head and eyes.

“Well lets go get your bags and we will get you settled in at the hotel.”

The carriage carousel was just a little bit across the airport so all three of them were starting to make their way until Jezzebelle caught a familiar scent that made her stop. Closing her eyes she took in another deep breath. She could smell the deep cinnamon the one smell she knew all too well. Catching her movement her Anna stopped and turned towards her

Their boss how ever just continued walking towards the luggage department. Walking up to her Anna looked around.

“Sis something is going on. You are starting to act really weird like…”

Her words faded from her, as she didn’t know how to form anymore.

“Did you smell that.”

Smell what…you. Oh yeah I can smell you a mile away.”

Her little sister was trying to crack a joke but Jezzebelles heart was thundering too loud in her ears to care.

“I mean it, I caught the smell of cinnamon.”

Anna shook her head and held up her arms.

“I think your nose is broken. All I smell is nasty humans who have been too close to each other in a small plane.”

Snorting at her little sisters comment, she agreed with her on that one.

Hearing luggage on wheels coming towards them, they both turned to see their manager hefting two rolling suitcases, a duffle bag along with a computer bag.

“What the heck did you bring your whole house. You could of left that in New Orleans sheesh.”

Before Matt could tell them anything his phone went off. Of course it was another one of his artist because he went on full manager mode. The girls shrugged their shoulders and started to help lug his luggage.

Matt told who ever was on the line to hold on he then turned towards the girls.

“What type of car did you bring today?”

Jezzebelle smiled ruthless at him, took one of his suitcases from him and continued walking.

“I don’t like that smile. Something tells me you brought something high class, and very speedy.”

“Aww what’s the matter Matt, a little air sick from the plane. I brought my nice shiny Lambo.”

He indeed turned a little green.

“You brought the speedster, ok can you make sure not to speed and turn corners like a raging lunatic.”

Her little sister snickered and took his other suitcase. He put his phone back up to his ear and started chatting again forgetting that the girls once again.’

“Dude! Super rude.”

Matt put his phone down from his ear and looked straight at them.

“Are you ladies coming or what.”

Anna growled and looked straight at her sister.

 “What the hell sis. We should of let him take a cab and suffer some more. We aren’t a service to be rendered. One of these days I am going to eat the bastard”

Hearing her little sister telepathically talk to her meant she wanted it to stay quite. Jezzebelle snickered through her mind.

“Lets get him to the hotel so he can drink up the bar and sleep the whole next day away.”

The girls caught up with their boss and the trio started out of the airport and made their way to the car. Luckily she didn’t have to park in the parking garage and it was a few clicks away from the sidewalk. She pulled out her keys and hit the automatic start. The purr of her vehicle was welcoming to her ears. As they got closer a shadow was near it and it caught her eye. This time it wasn’t just her that saw it either. Anna had caught the shadow as well.

Looking at Belle, Anna spoke once more through her mind.

“Ok so your not being a cranky vampire, I see what is going on. We are being watched.”

The girls sped up and started to help their boss load all of the luggage into the car. She wasn’t expecting him to bring this much so and she hated putting luggage in the back seat. She was always afraid of tears.

“I told you something was off and you blew me off. Since you now know we have company now you react.”

Belle opened up her driver side to insert key and was about to throw her purse in the car but stopped. A envelope was sitting on her driver side seat. Flipping it over she saw the royal seal. Opening her purse she shoved the envelope in her bag and placed it at her feet. She didn’t need her little sister looking at the envelope or her boss as he would want to read it.

Slipping into the drivers seat she waited for them to finish up. Her little sister offered to sit in the back and give the boss the front.

Jezzebelle looked in the rearview mirror, looking straight at her sister.

“Who do you think is following us?”

Her eyes shifted to make sure they were clear to pull out, belle tapped her fingers on the steering wheel as their boss finally put himself in the car.

“I do not know but if you pay attention there is more than one shadow.”

Grimacing her little sister was shrinking in the seat. Belle put her car in reverse and payed close attention to her back up camera. As she turned out of the parking spot the light from the car lit up one of the shadows. There stood Lazarus shielding his eyes from the light. Somone grabbed him another shadow merged into the light. Zephyr the king was with him.

“What the hell! Where did these two yahoo’s think they are doing!”

Before the girls could tell him to stop, Matt rolled his window down and stuck out his head.

“Would you please move out of my way. I would like to go to my hotel. Thank you!”

Anna paled very fast and sank lower.

“You do realize that they probably heard him say yahoo. Do you think he will make it past tonight.”

Jezzebelle didn’t care at the moment as she wanted to get away from both of the men. She slammed her foot on the gas pedal she spun her tires at a hard rate. Both of them jumped out of the way with their superhuman speed.

Turning her steering wheel at a fast rate she got to the gate fast. Paying her toll to get out of the airport, she looked around to make sure they weren’t being followed.

She looked to the side of her and saw her boss was trying to clutch the door.

“You forgot to put your seatbelt on?”

Matt starred at her, he couldn’t believe what she did.

“You didn’t give me a warning you was going to do that JZ!”

Snorting she back her speed down and looked at him.

“Well I think your safe to put it on. I don’t need to be getting pulled over.”

Rasing an eyebrow at her he snickered.

“Oh yeah I think a seatbelt will be the least of your problems. Have you seen what your driving it smells money pull me over.”

Looking at her sister in the rearview mirror she finished their conversation before she had went crazy with her driving.

“I am pretty sure they did hear him, what has me worried is that they are flying right now and following us because our idiot boss can’t keep his mouth shut!”

Shifting her gears, Jezzebelle kept her eyes on the road but was also scanning through the darkness to see any signs of being followed. Matt was busy chatting up a storm with her little sister about the upcoming contract when her memories once more came at a harsh rate.
