Fiona O'Hara's Story

" Fi, I've gotta go, come on!" Jake yells pounding on her bedroom door. His sister is always breaking rules, running late. It pissed him off to no end, finally she opened the door. Her hair wild and eye makeup on only one eye. " What the hell is so bloody important that it couldn't wait until I was done with my makeup?" she asks with a glare.

Jake holds up his phone, it had a text telling them to get to the main house. He watched as his sister's eyes widen in recognition," I'll be done in two minutes." she says shutting the door. Sighing Jake walks down to the garage, and gets in to his car. A few minutes later his sister comes running in to the garage her makeup now all but gone. " Let's get going." she says breathlessly as Jake drove out of their garage at law breaking speeds.

Pulling in to the large drive way of the O'Connor house Jake hops out of the car. Walking in to the living room he sits down on the couch giving Liam's daughter a glance , then he sits back and waits for the rest of the family to show up. Fiona being less of a drama queen than her brother walks in to the main house. Going through the kitchen she smiles at Blare, " Hey Blare, how are you?" she asks with a smile. Fiona liked Blare, he was one of the few people in the family who really got what she did.

She heard a car pull into the driveway and gave a long sigh, one of several people had arrived. She quickly found out that it wasn't just one but two; the O'Hara siblings, one of which was her bodyguard Jake.

Jake walked into the living room and sat on the other couch, Rebeccah glanced over out of the corner of her eye to check. The blond male was leaning back, settling in to wait for the rest of the O'Connors and his own cousin Freya. Rolling her grey-blue eyes, the teenager dialled a number quickly and stood to pace around the room. The call was automatically forwarded to voicemail and Rebeccah felt her temper rise.

" Carl," she began, her tone warning. " You better get your ass over here before my father or he is going to murder you." The O'Connor shrugged her shoulders as she glanced out the window before continuing, " I thought I'd warn you. See ya!" With a light tap of her finger she had hung up and was now gently tapping her chin with the phone, annoyed at how long the wait seemed to be.

" Bored, Liam hasn't given me any good assignments in almost a year. I just want to make a boom, you know? " She says with a small laugh, she loved her explosives. Taking the beer from Blare, Fiona says " But who knows? He might give me a good mark during the meeting." She smiles hopefully taking a drink of the beer. She makes a small face at the taste, " That is one thing I will never get used to in the states. The rubbish that gets called beer, no offence." she looks down hoping she hadn't offended him.
--------------------------------------------
Jake smiled slightly at the lady of the house Natalia, god that woman scares me. He thinks before saying politely " Ello, Mrs. O'Connor."

Fallowing Blare in to the living room Fiona smiled, being with family made it easier for them all to cut loose. Still nursing the beer Fi sits on the ground in front of her brothers legs. She leans back sightly so that her back was resting on them, " Beer?" she asks holding it up to him. With a small smile Jake grabs the beer and takes a drink. His eyes widening he nearly spits it out, " You call that shit beer?" he asks his Irish accent coming out.

------------------------------------------

Pulling in to the drive Liam steps out of his car and walks in to the house, noticing that the family was gathered in the living room he smiled. " Well I'm happy everyone decided to show up." He walks over to Natalia and kisses her on the cheek, " Ello' Love."

Liam turns to the group ignoring Rebeccah for the moment ,She shouldn't have to go through this. He thought shaking his head sadly . He didn't know what was going to happen to them, but he prayed that they would all make it through. " I've got some news, its going to change everything in our family. The Corleones are planning to start a war with our family. And it looks like a few of the smaller families are joining up with them." he takes a deep breath, "This means everyone who can use a gun will have one. The kids will have their body guards with them at all times. Even at school, and last but probably the most important. I am leaving New York to talk with my father and his branch of the family in Ireland. We need their support if we are going to get through this." He pauses, then says " Any questions?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Liam started talking Jakes jaw dropped, A war? He thinks worried I never thought I would live to see one. I thought those days were over.. he places a hand on his sisters shoulder. He had to be strong for her, when he heard that he had to be with Rebeccah at all times he stifled a groan. Great, I'm gonna be stuck with the most bitchy princess. Ever.

" What?!" Rebeccah shrieked, jumping up from her seat on the couch after having nearly choked on the last of the foul beer she had just chugged. " No..." She shook her head as she placed the beer on the table, " Daddy, please tell me you're kidding..?" Her grey-blue eyes were locked on her father but it appeared that he was ignoring her for now. She would have ignored herself too, Rebeccah thought as she observed her shaking hands. They hadn't been doing that a moment ago.

" Jake is older, daddy," Beccah continued as she shook her head, it would be obvious that the O'Hara male would be her bodyguard since he was closer to her age than Fiona was. " He's not going to have to actually go to school with me, right?" Her tone showed her distaste and, suddenly, she hated that she'd taken the drink from his hands. Especially after he'd touched it. Now her freedom was being stripped from her and he was the one who was to take it. He'd probably enjoy it too, she thought as she began to play with her long light brown hair nervously but she stopped as something finally sank in and her eyes grew wide.

"I'm leaving New York to talk with my father..."

"I'm leaving New York.." Liam's voice echoed in Rebeccah's mind and, finally, she couldn't take it and dropped back onto the couch and buried her face in her hands, feeling completely overwhelmed. Not only was a war starting, Rebeccah had to have him tag along everywhere she went and, now, her father was leaving the country?! This was way too much for her to handle.

Liam sighed, Rebeccah would never be able to work in the family. She was too much work to take care of, she couldn't even shoot. He thinks shaking his head. " Rebeccah, calm down. The odds are you won't even be part of the war, but until it is over Jake is to go everywhere with you. And if you run off from him that will include the bathroom. If that happens more than once I will send you to stay with great aunt Marie in the countryside of Ireland. Am I clear?" his icy glare now on her. Then turning to Blare he says " No you will not be running the family. Your mother will be running things in my absence. I have other plans for you, and Mrs. O'Hara. Come and see me later to get the details."

Liam's eyes grew darker, he had had enough with his daughters attitude. " That's it, you're all dismissed." He swiftly walks out of the room following his daughters path. Once at her door he knocks on it. " Rebeccah Adrienne O'Connor open this door." he growls. She had to learn some manners, she couldn't disrespect him like that in front of his men.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fi was excited, she might actually get a good target. And getting to work with Blare was a plus, she would never tell anyone but she had a little crush on him. She always had, ever since she first came to the O'Connor house a few years ago. But, she thinks standing and walking to the kitchen to see if there was anything moderately good to drink, I won't let that get in the way. I'll be perfectly normal and not let it show.

Looking around wildly Fi realizes that they weren't going to be able to get out of there in a fire fight, grabbing Natalia she says " Get out of here, we'll hold them off. Take Liam with you." she pushes the woman out of the room. Then turning to the group of men she takes a deep breath, there had to be at leas a dozen left. " What do you make of em'?" She calls over to Blare letting of another shot. " I think they're cowards, attacking us like this." dropping her empty guns to the ground she pulls her knife.

" Nos pugnare ad ultimum spiritum." She says with her eyes shut, it was the O'Hara motto. We fight to the last breath, it was what they were bred for. Opening her eyes she launches herself to the nearest guy cutting his hamstrings and then his neck.

"Damnit!" Fi says running after Blare. Once in the garage she hears Rebeccah complain that she needs shoes taking off hers she tosses them to the girl. "There you go, now get you little ass in that car and don't complain." Jake grabs Rebeccah and tosses her in the car. " I'm going to take her to a safe house." Fi nods and hops in a car.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liam follows his family and gets in the car with his wife. " Groups of two, get to a safe house and stay there till I call." he yells before he drives out of the garage.

Rebeccah's hands came up to catch the shoes quickly, surprised at the flash of red flying through the air. She opened her mouth to retort but thought of her father's words and closed it instead, saying nothing as Jake picked her up and tossed her into the car. She didn't bother with her seatbelt, at first, as she bent and shoved the shoes on her feet. Then the teenager straightened and grabbed the belt, pulling it over her to hear the click. Her head turned as she looked out the dark window with icy eyes, feeling like everything in her world was slipping from her fingertips.

If Rebeccah was thinking this, she could only imagine the thoughts running through everyone's minds as Jake climbed into the driver's seat beside her and, seconds later, they pealed from the garage like a shot at an extremely illegal speed. She felt a vibration in her pocket and pulled her phone out, checking the screen for texts and missed calls. She noted one number and, with a glance at Jake, pressed the redial button lightly before holding the phone up to her ear. As she had expected, she got the person's voicemail.

" Hey, it's Beccah," She said lightly, careful to sound as normal as possible. " I saw you called and, well, I got caught sneaking out.." Rebeccah lied, " You know how my dad is though, I got my phone back pretty easily." Here, she let out a laugh feeling anything but happy. " Anyway, I'll call you back some other time."

Rebeccah sighed as she clicked the 'end' button and dropped her phone to her lap, " What a lie," She mumbled under her breath as she watched the lights as they sped down the road. " Liam would kill me if he ever caught me sneaking out.. Not give me my phone back.." This dragged her thoughts to the Great Aunt Marie threat, most likely her destination if she did something so stupid to anger her father.

Leaning her head against the window, Rebeccah closed her pale eyes and bit her lip. She was usually so much stronger, never needing to lean on anyone, but today had ruined all of that. Now, she wasn't feeling so strong as she fought against the tears. She kept her head turned so her face wasn't visible to her bodyguard. She didn't want anybody, least of all Jake O'Hara, to see her like this. Emotional and afraid.

Making a sharp turn Fi says " I was thinking MacLaren's. There is an old apartment above the bar, Liam uses it for drug runs." with another sharp turn she pulls up to the back alley way. " I'll have someone get rid of the car, come on." she says getting out of the car and holding out her hand, she wanted to help him but she knew he would most likely brush her off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jake holds out his hand. " Phone, they could track it." he looked over to her his eyes challenging her to argue with him.

Fi sighs, " You men and your love of being seen as tough." she shakes her head walking over to him. " You are going to let me take a look at that bullet hole when we get inside." she says wrapping his arm over her shoulder to take some weight off his leg. " Now lets get inside," she leads him in to the apartment. It was small, but nice enough. Leading Blare to the couch she sat him down, " Be right back." she says walking to the bathroom to find the standard issue safe house first aide kit.

Jake shot up, something wasn't right. Rushing to the room he had put Rebeccah he sees her trying to open the window. "What the hell are you doing? You're going to get yourself killed." He grabs her hand and pulls her away from the window. " do you know nothing about keeping yourself safe?" he was amazed by how stupid this girl could be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fi looked over at Blare, he was calling his son, Carl. " do you think he's ok?" she asks quietly. She didn't know what it was like to be a parent, but she knew what it was like to be an older sister and being a parent must be kind if similar.

Rebeccah stared at Jake, doubt crossing her features as she felt the small mobile be slipped into her hand. Wouldn't he get in trouble for this? And who was she supposed to call? Her father had specifically said he would be the one to call, no one else. The teenager turned her gaze to the screen as she looked through the contacts, not sure if Blare was in there or not. If not, Fiona would be since she was Jake's sister and who would be with her brother? Fiona, of course.

She knew her brother wasn't so good at actually answering his phone so, instead of dialling his number, she settled for Fiona. With the click of a button, Rebecah lifted the phone to her ear and listened. One ring. Two rings. Three..

Pick up, pick up..

Her lips moved as she thought this but no actual words came out. Cool blue eyes stared at the closed curtains with annoyance as she heard the light click that told her someone had, in fact, picked up after all. She didn't wait for them to speak first.

" It's me," Rebeccah didn't bother to say her name, she was the youngest female in her family so it'd be quite obvious who she was. " Is Blare okay?" At this point her eyes flickered to Jake before returning to the curtain, her eyes calm for once.

When she was almost asleep Fi hears her phone ring. " this better be important." she says getting off the the couch and grabbing her phone. Before she could say anything she hears " It's me," it was Rebeccah, Fi rolled her eyes. She wasn't a huge fan of the princess but her heart melted slightly when she hears " Is Blare okay?".

"yeah, he's fine, just a few bumps and bruises." she smiles slightly, knowing how worried the girl must be. " what about my little brother is he alright?" she asks her worry creeping in to her voice.

Letting out a relieved sigh at Fiona's words, Rebeccah allowed herself a small smile. Good, he wasn't hurt too bad then. She'd been worried when the bullets had been going everywhere and, especially with her brothers track record, terrified he'd end up with several more bullet holes in his body. Which he definitely didn't need any more of.

" Jake's fine and, as far as I can tell, no damage whatsoever." She glanced to the male as she said this, raising her eyebrows as though she was waiting for him to argue that point. " He's taking his job quite seriously too," she added, rolling her eyes. That'd make Fiona glad as it would tell her that Jake was being extremely careful about everything. " Anyway, I have to go. Jake only allowed me one call," Rebeccah paused for a moment, her eyes thoughtful. " Would you like to speak with him?"

" Jake's fine and, as far as I can tell, no damage whatsoever." Fi let out a sigh of relief hearing that her baby brother was ok. She laughed when she heard " He's taking his job quite seriously too," Fi wasn't surprised, her brother was a little broody that way. " Anyway, I have to go. Jake only allowed me one call," Rebeccah paused for a moment, then asked. " Would you like to speak with him?"

"No that's alright, just tell him to lay off the brooding for me. It doesnt suit him." Fi says smiling slightly.

" Alright," Rebeccah responded quietly, " And thank you Fiona, for the shoes too." With that said, she disconnected the call and, after making sure Jake was prepared for it, she tossed his cellphone back to him. " Thanks O'Hara," she murmured before adding, slightly louder. " Your sister said to tell you; lay off the brooding, it doesn't suit you."

" Anyway, now that I feel a little assured about that, I'm going to have a shower." She stood and stretched, feeling her stiff muscle protest. " Towels would be in the bathroom, I assume?" Rebeccah looked to Jake as she asked this, her eyes showing how much she just wanted her space.
