The Duchess's angel

(This is how Ace met Flora! This will be in Flora's POV)

Gunshots rang out. I kept running and running as members of Zodiac kept chasing me to get me to lure K.A.R.D out of hiding. The members included were: Cancer, Leo and my brother, Scorpio. I ran and ran, but they were still chasing me. I saw my only chance: I hid in a nearby casino. Bending down to my knees, I proceeded to catch my breath. "Hey, you ok?" A woman's voice asked me in concern. I looked up at her as my face paled. This was Ace, she was the one who killed Taurus all those years ago.

She sat me down and I proceeded to tell her everything before the doors were bursted open. "There she is!" Yelled Scorpio as I started shaking. That was then Ace clicked her fingers as a man walked over to us. "Vincent." Vincent read the room before taking me into a room. "Are you ok.. Uh.. what's your name?"

"Flora."

"Flora.. Scorpio's your brother?"

I slowly nodded my head yes and whimpered slightly. "Again, will you ok?" He asked as I was afraid. "Maybe.." his eye glittered with danger and I tilted my head. "Do you want to see her in action?" I said yes and he took me to another room. I leaned into the doorframe as I watched her and Leo were in that room. Ace was moving her cards and placed the cards in front of her. "Pick a card.. any card." She said as I watched him choosing one of the cards. She stabbed his head and placed a rose thorn crown on top.

I heard of that killing and knew he chose a king card. I smirked as I watched Cancer sit down next in the chair, only this time, she chose a diamond card. She slumped onto the floor and finally, my brother was next. He picked a spear card as she shot him from afar. My eyes glittered and my face turned into a strawberry. Damn it.. why was she so gorgeous whenever she killed those members? "I know your there, doll. Come on out~" I blushed deeply as I walked over to her. "How'd you know?" I asked, moving a lock of my red hair, something I inherited from my mother.

"I could see a head of dark red hair and I could assume Vincent brought you here." She said, pointing to him. "Sorry, Ali. She was frightened to death by those fuckers." She hummed slightly before taking my hand. "Not to mention, she was going to be sold to us as bait to lure us out of hiding." She said with distain, moving her thumb across my knuckles. "You'll be staying with us and I ain't taking no for an answer, sweet thing." She said, watching my face.

"I.. ok. What the heck I have to lose?" I said, smiling. That day, I realized I was going to be ok with being in K.A.R.D. At the time, I didn't know that feelings were going to bloom into something quite beautiful.
