Anna's Trial

Chapter Eleven

What's all that noise.

"How the hell did this happen?" I could hear Ren's angry voice.

"It was her fault, she made me get out, said I was useless that she would be your wife." Brittany was sobbing to Ren. No, it's a lie I wanted to say but nothing came out.

****

"My lord her heart stopped." Maliki called to Ren as the Limo sped as fast as they could through the streets.

"Come on angel. Damn it, don't die on me." Ordering everyone to move I remove her from my lap where I had been holding her I sprawled her out across the seats kneeling on the ground of the limo next to her. I could feel her cold lips against mine. Maliki do chest compression's I shouted desperately breathing for her.

"Ren stop, she's gone!" Brittany said grabbing my arm.

"Get the fuck off me!" I push her away as I order Maliki to continue.

"Why then hell are you trying to save the women who tried to kill me!" Brittany screamed out furiously at Ren.

"Because she's not that type of person, your lying, and I can't wait to find out the truth." Ren growled back his voice filled with a lust for blood as he looked at Brittany. Then went back to breathing for Anna.

When I woke, I wasn't sure where I was but, it was defiantly a medical facility, Ren's head was laying on my bed asleep his big warm hand clasped in mine. What happened, I moved feeling the pain rush through my left shoulder, I try not to cry out. Oh, yeah, I was shot. I really became his shield. I squeeze his hand accidentally waking him up. He looks at me surprised. His smile is glad but, his eyes look as if they were filled with worry. I smile happily that he is alive.

"Hey Ren, I forgot to say thanks for the save again. You came even though I didn't call." I try to laugh though it hurts and I cough. So much for looking cool.

"You idiot" He starts shouting, I can feel he's shaking through his hand that's holding mine.

"You promised to come back!" He shouts at me more. Letting go of my hand he swings his legs out around his chair and stands beginning to pace not looking at me as I listen. I know, I'm a huge idiot, I get it already, I can't help rolling my eyes at his tantrum as he continues. I say nothing though because he's not mad, he was worried and I'm just happy he's okay.

"You were going to listen to whatever I had to say!" He suddenly shouts looking at me it was the same pained look as when that bullet hit me.

"Hey Ren, while I listen to you shout away at me for being a dummy can I at least ask since we are alone that you kiss me. I mean I was shot." I smile at him watching his eyes go darker making his face look more hurt. Moving to sit on the side of my bed his fingers rub the side of my face I close my eyes waiting, wanting to feel his lips on mine to feel him alive. Pain shoots through my head as I open my eyes seeing his finger above my forehead. This ass just flicked my forehead. Feeling my head, I notice the bandage on it. I notice that my long hair has been cut short. Looks like I had also gotten stitches from the blow to the head from David.

"Don't try to get cute with me, I'm pissed as hell, you idiot." He says more calmly as he looks at my surprised face. I almost feel like I can see him laughing through that sour face.

After that Ren doesn't come back to visit. Mike comes to chat with me though the topic was over the events that took place. So, I'm sure there just collecting data from me. What I don't understand is why. Lady Brittany was defiantly there she could have told Ren. Thinking of her, my head hurts more. I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Some of the other men came bringing flowers thanking me for protecting their Lord. It all felt so strange. I ask about Brittany but no one gives me an answer just a weary smile. Had something else happened.

Two weeks since I had been shot has passed, Today I am fit to go home. Ren picks me up personally to bring me back to the manor. I almost feel so happy to be returning. As I walk in the front door Maliki, Mike, and all the other men of the manor are there waiting.

"Welcome home Lord Feng, Lady Darkz." The loud welcome echoed through the entry way. I was a little take back by the welcome. Maliki approaches to the side of Ren holding something out. Elegantly Ren's hand slips into Maliki's palm closing around the item and takes the trinket that I had known all too well. He brings it down in front of my neck pulling it around to the back and clasps it for me. They all start to cheer, I hear congratulations one after another as I am escorted to Ren's room. I am partly astounded and partly confused by what just occurred. I touch my necklace as I stand in the entrance to Ren's room not able to speak. Ren and Maliki follow in like the welcoming was nothing. I watch Maliki follow Ren to his corner window to talk. I stand frozen not sure what to do. Should I leave and go back to my room? This matter seems important. I turn on my feet to leave.

"What are you doing?" Ren turns his head to me as he speaks I look back over my shoulder.

"Ummm, shouldn't I let you guys talk?" I fidget feeling a little uncomfortable as I look back and forth between Ren and the door, this is the room Ren and Lady Brittany are to share yet I was brought here like I belong, part of me just wanted to go to my room and rest.

"Why?" Ren asked confused staring as if to find the answer on my face.

"Not like you have any other place to go while we talk Little sis." Maliki piped in.

"I can go to my room and rest." I mumble, I grab my left arm squeezing it hard with the other.

"Your room isn't there anymore." Maliki says waving it off like it doesn't matter as he continues to talk to Ren about someone.

"What do you mean my rooms not there anymore!" I shout unintentionally from the shock of hearing that, once again interrupting them.

"Lady Anna please do try to calm down. It's simple your place isn't there anymore." Maliki answers again like it's nothing.

"Is this some kind of game, and what's with the Lady bit suddenly from everyone? What do you mean not my place? Have I been fired from guarding Lady Brittany? I'm sorry about what happened but it wasn't my fault! As I already explained. If I'm fired why am I here, where am I supposed to belong."

"With me." Ren speaks up suddenly to my last question. Is voice strong and serious as he stares at me. I don't get it. I know the necklace means I'm a full-fledged member again but why is he saying I belong with him, I stare back at Ren wanting answers wanting an explanation. I feel like my mind was going a mile a minute and my head was starting to hurt. Did he mean that I was to sleep here or just that I'm to guard him since I took a bullet for him, and where was Brittany I hadn't seen her since the kidnapping?

"Ren to make the report short the man is ready to be interrogated." Maliki says to Ren ignoring all my hysterics. Ren hearing him turns to face him again and nods in understanding.

"All right, let's go I want to interrogate him myself." He says pushing off the wall he had been leaning on with his left arm.

What; they were leaving, and no one's told me anything. They pass by me Maliki's hand on the door knob to open it for Ren.

"Are you jerks really going to leave without telling me anything! I shout now annoyed.

Ren stops in his tracks looking back over his shoulder now grumpy as hell. The sound of his foot pivoting as he turns and begins to walk back to me could be heard in the now silent room.

His hand reaching out grabbing my short hair that had been chopped off enough that I had to go to the salon to get it styled and cut as a long pixie style. He pulls it hard enough to make me fall forward into his chest.

"Who the hell do you think you're calling a jerk? I think I've been far too nice to you little girl. If you weren't such an idiot in these matters you would know the answer from my words. He was angrily growling at me. But none of this made since.

"Come on!" Ren says letting go of my hair and grabbing my arm as he pulls me along behind him.
