Chapter 8
A few days later
"Henry, I really can't take her from you" I say looking at him shocked as he leads a second puppy to the back seat.
"Nonsense girl, you take her and she'll keep you safe just train her up" he says.
Looking at Rachel I raise my brows seeing her smile, she's been accepted into the college I've join and starts soon, somehow I gave into being her roommate so we can live off campus and been trusted in keeping her safe.
Giving in I sigh nodding "alright, thank you Henry and I'll make sure Rachel comes home for the holidays" I add ignoring the puppy trying to lick my face while I keep it back.
Turning us around I wave again before we take off "what are we going to do with two big ass Great Dane and English Mastif mixes Rachel?" I ask rolling my eyes at her laughing "they're literally the two biggest breeds in the world" I add.
"I think I'll call him Bear" she says smiling at the brown puppy.
"Bear" I repeat looking at her frowning "that's kind of generic and over done".
"Oh yeah, then you do better" she counter smirking at me.
Humming I then smirk at her "Renaştere" I say seeing her mouthed the word looking confused.
"What does that even mean in English?"
"Rebirth" I answer laughing at her rolling her eyes at me.
"What's with you and being obsessed with death and rebirth?"
"It's a cultural thing" I answer.
"Being extremely vague part of that too?"
"Yes, naturally suspicious of outsiders and don't share our culture easily" I answer knowing she's teasing me since she never pushes for more.
"We'll have time to get settled in and adjust to the area before we start classes" she says casually.
"Yeah and hopefully teach these big asses not to destroy shit while we leave"
Eventually we reach the house we're renting and I climb out catching both dogs before they get loose and lift them over the gate dropping them over after leaning over slightly so it's an easy drop for them.
"We have everything we need other then decorations" I say casually while grabbing my bags.
"Your dad?" She asks.
"Hopefully, I'd hate if Karl or Alcina did it, then I'd have to go home and kick their asses"
"Why?"
Chuckling I head to the door getting the keys down and unlock the door "one would make the place look like it's the 20s and the other would be a ton on metal and clutter" I answer.
Opening the door I sigh seeing it's modern furniture with a few things to remind me of home "why's there a wooden goat in an altar?" Rachel asks frowning at it.
"Something to remind me of home" I answer stepping over to the display opening it.
Seeing four small house crests with Miranda's in the background I smile seeing gifts in the offering bowl, picking up the first I see it's a note from Miranda and open it having a key fall in my hand 'if you find it useful it's available'.
Picking up the locked box I move it to the side then pick up the next seeing a bottle of wine 'enjoy it was a good year'.
I chuckle moving it to the side knowing she's bragging about her wine without saying when she made it, humming I move a book, camera and paper knowing it's from Bela, Cassandra and Daniela asking for certain things since they can't leave often.
Finding cheese wrapped up tightly I curl my nose holding it out to Rachel "go throw that in the trash outside and hold your breath unless you like stinky cheese".
She nods before gagging and covering her mouth while rushing out with it.
"Thanks Sal, but that smell was to much even for that wrapping" I mutter.
Hearing Rachel throwing up outside I pick up a gun frowning "what's this Karl" I mutter pulling the note off the barrel 'this shoots nails, if the head slips in then they can be fired'.
Chuckling I roll my eyes before picking up the doll seeing it looks like a generic female holding out a goat statue like an offering.
Smiling I gather them "what the hell was that" Rachel asks.
"Vieux Boulogne, from my cousin he likes cheese, the stinkier the better" I answer while heading to find my room.
