chapter Thirty-eight: Italian pest
Red splattered the dungeon.
Not much was left of the Swedish man, his brothers made sure of that.
Loki was sitting on the floor with a broadsword in his hand, a cigarette in his mouth.
Egil was taking a shower to wash the blood off of him and Thurston was drying off from his shower.
Magnus was cleaned up and back in his office with coffee in one hand and a book in the other.
Thurston went back to check on his fiancee, she had not moved.
The lovely gown she wore was somewhat see-through in the sleeves and past the thighs, her long silvery-white hair looked to be a veil of fabric beneath her that draped off of the bed.
She was even more lovely now that he was looking at her after being away for a bit, he fluffed his hair a little and crouched down beside her.
He only had his sweatpants on and no shirt, a towel hung around his shoulders.
(Y/n) seemed to be in a peaceful rest, almost too peaceful.
She was supposed to have some torment while she slept. Perhaps the head trauma had done something else?
He was too tired to think of something like that, he lay right next to her and draped his arm over her protectively.
A little kiss was placed on her cheek.
He listened to her heart, her breathing, the movement of the others in the house.
Thurston sighed warm breath onto her and heard a small noise from her, he lifted his head to look at her.
"Kulta?", he asked and found she was still unconscious.
The small noise gave him hope that she would be better soon.
He snuggled close to the unconscious woman, hoping that any heat he provides will help her.
Daylight came and Thurston found that he had stayed the night in his beloved's room, the female had not moved from her original position like one would do in their sleep.
The Finn got up and kissed her good morning along with a, "Good morning Kultaseni."
He smiled slightly from the sight of her and went to his own room to get dressed for the day.
Egil passed him in the hall and gave him a small wave before continuing on his way, Loki was no doubt up early to go flying with Drage.
The scarlet eyed finned smelled breakfast being cooked, Magnus was cooking.
He put on his usual uniform and walked to the kitchen for coffee, the blond Dane was there as suspected.
"She's not up?", The Dane asked.
"Nei.", the Finnish man answered, "She is still unresponsive. But she is stable."
Magnus nodded, "Good.
Thurston got himself some coffee and took a drink of it, he listened to the sounds of cooking food and the garden outside.
The scarlet eyed Finn looked outside to the garden with an idea.
"I should make her a gift for when she wakes up."
"She would probably like that.", the Dane spoke and continued cooking.
The Finn took another sip of his coffee and wen out to the garden, he picked out some of the blooms of flowers he worked hard on growing and breeding for (y/n). To decorate her room and her.
He picked the ones he wanted and left the rest to use at a later date and for more breeding.
This garden was years in the making, many breeds of flowers he made just for her. Those that could only be found there.
One bloom he took into his hand and inhaled the fragrance, a delicate smell came from the soft flower.
He picked his head up when he heard the sound of car doors shut, he stood and saw Luciano walking up.
The Italian looked at the house then to the garden, the rest of Luciano's group joined him.
"Well, I-a did not think that-a you would be a gardener.", the Italian said to the Finn.
"What the hell do you want?", Thurston asked and placed the flower in his harvesting basket with the others.
"To-a do business.", the Italian replied and waved for Gilen to hold up the package he was carrying, "And to give a small token of goodwill."
"Go inside. Magnus will meet you.", Thurston said and went back into the house. He walked to the kitchen and alerted the Dane of their visitors before going back to the female's room.
The brunet Finn took the dangerous thorns of of the flowers and trimmed the stems before he placed the blooms in a small vase and around the female.
Smaller and fragrant blooms were placed in her hair and on her skin.
He stood back to look at her, it was like she was a picture. Perfect, unmoving.
The flowers' delicate scent gave satisfaction to the male as he looked at his beloved's face, he could kiss her right now. But he would be needed in the business discussion, yet he could not leave his fiancee alone.
The door creaked open behind him and he pointed his hidden handgun at the intruder, The albino Prussian.
"M-Magnus told me to come get jou.", the soft-spoken Prussian said shakily.
Thurston put his gun away.
"I'll be there in a bit.", The Finn answered and gathered up the stems and thorns he cut off the flowers.
"Vhat happened to her?", Gilen asked.
"Bernard. He bit her and sucked out most of her blood.", Thurston answered, "He dropped her and that damaged her head, now she is like this until she heals."
Gilen nodded slightly and held up the small box he was holding, "Zhis is for her. Assorted treats."
The brunet Finn took the box and looked at Gilen with a half annoyed and half questioning gaze.
"Zhe ones from Lutz and I are to zhank her for being a friend to me. Und the others are from Luciano and Kuro.", the Prussian said quickly and quietly.
Scarlet eyes looked at the box and back up at the prussian, Thurston knew he would not hurt (y/n).
This prussian was no threat, "Kiitos. I'm sure she will like the treats."
Gilen looked a little happy after hearing that, he nodded quickly.
The Finn waved the prussian to follow him and walked out of the room, he closed the door once Gilen exited.
"Now what is the other reason for Luciano's visit?", The Finnish man asked.
Gilen murmured quietly, "He vanted to see (y/n)."
"He will not be seeing her.", Thurston said.
"Ve both know zhat he von't go until he sees her.", the prussian answered.
"Be glad I don't hate you as much as the other ones in Luciano's club.", the brunet man said and looked around, "I need someone to keep guard over her."
His scarlet eyes looked over the halls to look for a guard, he saw Egil nibbling a popsicle.
"Hey, fuckhead!", the Finn yelled at the icelander.
The platinum haired male jumped and almost dropped the popsicle, "Meanie!"
"Watch (y/n). I need to attend some business.", the Finnish man said and walked off, leaving the two males behind.
Egil quickly ate the rest of his popsicle to go see his little sister, Gilen followed to see his friend again.
Thurston walked to the office and glared at the males sitting in the guest chairs.
The Finn stood beside the Dane as the large blond man leaned forward with his hands folded together, "Now what is this deal you wish to talk about?"
"It's a partnership.", Luciano said with as charming as a smile he could muster, "We could-a help each other out, two mafias working-a together make more-a money than ones working-a separately."
"Or the profits will be halved between both.", Magnus answered, "You have an ulterior motive. I can see it in your face."
"I'm hurt.", the Italian chuckled, "You really think that of me?"
"We both know you are a slimy piece of shit.", Thurston spoke up, "Gilen told me what you really want."
Magnus cut his eyes at the scarlet eyed Finn then to the Italian, Luciano's men chuckled.
"Fine, I-a wanted to see your sorella.", the Italian man admitted while his little hair curl twitched, "Speaking of, where-a is she?"
"Far away from you.", The brunet Finn answered, "Thankfully."
Magnus put his hand up to quiet Thurston, "She is unable to be seen at this time, due to unfortunate circumstances."
Kuro looked around, "Where is Bernard? He usuarry is in these meetings."
"I wager zhat he was part of zhe circumstances.", Lutz said.
"That does not concern you or this matter at the moment.", Magnus said and leaned back in his chair, "I, like my mother before me, reject your proposal. We will sell you some weapons, however a partnership between us will never happen."
"I thought that-a was what you were-a going to-a say.", Luciano smiled, "I could-a take my knowledge of-a your little mansion here to-a your double. I'm-a sure he would-a love to know the location."
Magnus narrowed his eyes at Luciano, "What kind of weapons do you want?"
Luciano smiled, "Let-a me see her first, then we-a can talk business."
The Dane motioned for Thurston to leave, "Prepare her for visitors."
The Finn begrudgingly left to do what he was asked, Luciano was smiling like he was victorious.
"Now what weapons do you want?", the Dane asked again with a bit more irritation.
"No no no, not until I get-a to see your sorella.", the Italian said, "Lutz, go join your fratello."
"Ja Luci.", The German man said and got up. He walked out of the office and down the halls.
"Shourd I go too?", Kuro asked.
"Stay here Kuro.", Luciano replied.
The Japanese man stayed where he was, in compliance to his boss's orders.
Luciano's expression made Magnus angry, the smugness. It was insulting.
A knock to the office door sounded and cut the tension between the two men, "Come in."
Egil peered in, "Thurston says he's ready."
The Italian man got up quickly and made his way to where Lutz was standing, the German was lookin into the sun room.
The large windows in the room let in light that was shaded a little by the drapes decorating the place.
The room had vases of flowers everywhere.
In the middle of the room was a large cushioned chair, Thurston and Loki on either side of it.
In the chair was the Scandinavian female, her long hair flowing around her and her gown covering her delicate body like a gossamer cloak.
Luciano walked closer to the female and noticed Gilen kneeling close to the chair she was in, his concerned expression was visible.
The Italian knew something was a bit wrong with the female, she did not have her eyes open. She was not breathing very much.
"What-a the hell is-a this?!", The Italian man asked, "Why-a the hell have-a you not taken her to the-a hospital?!"
Kuro peeked into the room with great amusement, he could steal as many looks at a woman as he could want right now.
"This is why we told you that she was not able to be seen.", Thurston said with annoyance and held his hand on the young woman's shoulder, "We did not take her to the hospital because she is a, immortal. She will heal but longer as this is her first great trauma."
Luciano nodded, "I-a would have put her in the-a hospital and not take-a a chance."
"You've seen her now, do business so we can get some money.", Loki said, "Or are you just wasting our time?"
The tanned Italian looked at (y/n), then to her brothers.
"Let's do-a business.", The man said, "But I-a want to give a gift to-a her."
"Another offering?", Thurston asked and got a small glare from the Italian.
Luciano placed a small box on her lap, it seemed to be made out of blue velvet.
The box had a gold inlay of a designer brand on it, some sort of expensive jelwery.
He took a little time to lift one of her soft hands to his lips in order to give a kiss on the back of it, he could have sworn her skin tasted a little sweet.
"That's enough.", Loki said and pulled the Italian up after he kissed her hand, "Thurston, take her back to her room. We will take care of these guys."
The Finnish man carefully picked up and carried his fiancee to her room, he knew he was being followed by Gilen. The prussian was genuine in his concern, the other one following was not.
He saw Kuro was following and that he had his hand on the katana he had the whole time.
Thurston carefully placed the female down on her bed and turned around in time to parry the strike from the Japanese man's katana.
"I knew you and Luciano would want to try to take her.", The scarlet eyed Finn said, "You two are predictable with your lust."
Kuro narrowed his eyes and made another swift strike that Thurston had to knock away lest it hit (y/n).
Gilen began to be worried by the fight that was unfolding that he gripped her hand for comfort, he could break the fight up with his own sword but he would either be hurt or be yelled at by his boss for attacking superiors.
Gilen held her hand and held up his arm to defend from some of the sword swipes that were coming quite close to them.
A pillar of ice broke the fight up. Egil had a upset look on his face.
Go back to the office, Magnus wants to talk to you.
"This is not over.", Kuro said sharply to Thurston and returned to the office.
Egil looked at Thurston and motioned him to go as well, Gilen put his arm down and sighed
A little bit of money and some candy was presented to him, "Here, it's thanks for doing your best to keep litlasyster safe."
Gilen took the gifts from Egil and nodded, "She's nice, I like her."
"She's freat, isn't she?", the icelander giggled, "Sometimes I wonder how great it could be of we weren't related. I would be able to date and marry her."
The lovesick face on the icelander made the quiet prussian fear for both the male's sanity and his sister's safety.
"Well, thanks again for helping!", the Icelandic man said, "I need to check her vitals again."
Gilen quietly walked away to give the female some privacy, he hoped that she would be safe and that whatever was wrong with her was temporary.
He returned to the office to find his boss had made a small deal with the Dane, Luciano shook in the deal with Magnus.
"I expect good work on these weapons.", The Italian mafia Don said with a smile, "I can get Flavio to make her a new dress as part of the payment."
"That will be accepted. Thank you for your business." The Dane replied.
Luciano walked out of the house with the rest of his crew following.
Gilen gave one last look back before entering the car and heading home.
