During Lunch, I stayed in an empty class to have my lunch. While eating, the door opened and Landon, Noah and Ethan walked in

"Hey" Ethan said quietly

"Hi. What are you guys doing here?" I asked, last time I checked, they didn't want to talk to me

"Ella look, we're sorry. We admit we were complete assholes, we shouldn't have reacted that way. We messed up and we're really really sorry" Landon said, his posture tense.

"It's okay" I said and Noah shook his head

"It's not though. We made a mistake and we probably wouldn't have realized it if Blake and Aria didn't knock some sense into our heads" he said

"It's really okay. You guys had all right to be upset, I know I've been rather difficult and distant so I understand why you would react that way" I said with a smile

"Really?" Ethan asked with a wide grin and I nodded

"Oh thank God. It was really hard to ignore you" he said and pulled me into a hug

"So friends?" Landon asked hesitantly

"Friends" I confirmed

The bell rung signalling the end of lunch and we all went our separate ways.

"Hey" Alessio called out to me after English class

"Hey" I said

"What did your brothers say about my offer?" He asked in a hushed voice

"Antonio said we can handle it ourselves" I said and his jaw clenched so hard I thought it would break

"That's crazy. You need help" he said gruffly

"He wouldn't say we could handle it without a reason" I defended him

"It's stupid!. I won't let anything happen to you, we'll help whether he likes it or not" he growled and stormed off

I stared at his retreating figure in confusion. What's wrong with everyone?

The hallway was empty and gave off an eerie vibe. I couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched

I heard footsteps behind me and I quickened my pace. A hand grabbed my wrist and I twisted it harshly, I turned and saw four huge, masked men

"Come with us quietly princess" the one Infront said and I sneered at him

I took out my daggers from my pants. I watched them intently, I didn't dare make the first move knowing it would put me at a disadvantage

The tallest one came forward and grabbed me by my arm so tightly it felt like he was crushing my bones. I stabbed his hand and he immediately let go of me

"Fuck" he cussed, clutching his hand

I didn't give him time to recuperate and sliced his neck, his hand flew to his neck

The others rushed to me in full speed. I tried to fight them off, swinging my dagger in every direction. I felt a stinging pain on my leg and I groaned, these bastards are really begging to die

I began attacking their legs, I can't kill all of them so I need to slow them down. I targeted their ankles and stabbed them

Their screams filled the hallway and I frowned. How has all this noise not attracted anyone yet? It doesn't make sense, something isn't right

I felt someone creep up behind me but before I could turn I felt a pinch in my neck and my vision blurred

~~~~~~ Third person's pov

The day had ended and the brothers all stood by the car waiting for their sister. They began to feel uneasy, it was unlike Gabriella to be this late

"Do you think she's with her friends?" Xavier asked, worry shining in his eyes

"Let's go ask them" Stephano said and they all went in search for Gabriella's friends. After ten minutes they finally spotted them together, talking

"Have you guys seen Gabriella? We've been looking for her for some time now" Xander said and her friends frowned

"No, we did see her at lunch but that was all" Ethan said

"What?" Matteo said in shock

"She didn't come to any of the classes we had together after lunch" Aria said

"Something's wrong. She wouldn't just disappear" Stephano said, trying to push back the feeling of dread that was slowly overcoming him

"You, hack into the school cameras" Xander said to Ethan

Ethan immediately brought out his computer and began doing what he does best.

"Guys" Ethan whispered shakily, his hands froze on the computer

"What is it?!" Xander snapped when he wasn't saying anything

They all crowded him when he still refused to say anything. There on the computer was the CCTV footage, in it was Gabriella, struggling to fight off four men who were thrice her size

"What the actual fuck is going on?" Blake asked

"Oh God. She-" Matteo said in horror as he watched his sister, who was unconscious, getting carried like a bag of potatoes out of school

"How is it possible that no one heard any noises? I mean they were closest to the principal's office so how did no one hear?" Aria asked in confusion

The others were also thinking the same thing, how come so much mess was made and a student was kidnapped yet no one heard or saw anything

"We need to tell the capo" Landon said, completely forgetting the presence of the other friends

"I'll call him" Stephano said

"Wait" Blake called out when he saw Stephano walking away

"What?!" Stephano snapped, it was taking everything in him to not go crazy at the thought of his sorella getting kidnapped

"We can help" Blake said and Stephano cocked his head to the side

"How the fuck do you think you can help?" He asked rudely

"Do not tell anyone this but we are part of the Cobra gang. My dad is currently the leader. If it leaves your mouths I will kill you all" Blake threatened and the brothers were slightly amused

Although the cobras were a powerful gang, they were nothing compared to the Italian/American mafia so his threats were indeed funny

"I'll go talk to Tony first, see what he says" Stephano said and disappeared

Antonio's pov- We were in the middle of a meeting when my phone rang. I looked at it and saw that it was Stephano

"This meeting is dismissed" I said and all the board members left the room, leaving me with just Ales and Dom

"Yes Stephano, do you need something?" I asked as I picked up

"Something really bad has happened" he said hesitantly and I sat up in my chair

Noticing my change of expression, Ales and Dom sat up straight as well

"What happened?" I asked

"Gabriella, s-she w-was k-kidnapped" he stuttered and my eyes widened. My grip on the phone tightening

"What?!" I asked, praying I misheard him

"Some men came and took her" he said and I closed my eyes, trying to contain my emotions

"All of you come home right now and tell me exactly what happened" I said harshly

"Two of her friends said they're part of the Cobra gang and offered to help"

"Bring them along too" I said and hung up, I dropped the phone and clutched my hair tightly

"Fratello what happened?" Ales asked as I felt him move closer to me

"Gabriella has been kidnapped" I said, feeling my throat tighten as those words left my mouth

"Cazzo" Dom cussed and ran out of the office, we followed him and got in the car. He began driving like a madman while cursing repeatedly

"Dom calm down. You're breaking all traffic rules right now, slow down" Ales said and Dom casted him a heated glare

"Shut up! We own the goddamn country. Our bambina has been fuckin kidnapped, who knows what they're doing to her and you think I give a fuck about some stupid rules?!. Fuck the law" Dom yelled with unshed tears

"You're right but I won't tolerate you speaking to me like that" Ales said sternly

"Don't piss me off fratello. You know very well what happens when I lose my temper" Dom warned and Ales opened his mouth but I cut him off

"Enough, that's enough from the both of you. Focus on what's at hand now, we need to get her back so stop your petty little arguments and Domenico, apologize to Alessandro now" I growled at both of them

They both looked away from me, sensing my anger. I never wanted to intimidate them but right now, fighting amongst ourselves while our sister is gone is something I cannot have

"Sorry capo. I'm sorry Ales" Dom apologized, his hand gripped the steering wheel so tight his knuckles turned white

The rest of the drive was quiet, a drive that was supposed to be thirty minutes was shortened to ten minutes

When we opened the door, I saw some strange faces, probably her friends. I looked around and my eyes landed on my brothers

I saw Matteo and Xavier in the arms of Emilio and Leonardo. I walked towards them and pulled them into a hug

"It's okay, I promise we'll get her back. Stop crying buds" I said trying my best to comfort them

"What if they hurt her like they hurt us? No that can't happen. Fratello please get her back" Matteo said as tears fell freely from his eyes

"I'll get her back. Now stop crying and let's figure out a way to get her back" I said and wiped their tears away

I turned to the strange figured in the room and my face turned cold

"I was told you guys said you are in the Cobra gang. Please get your father here, I want to talk to him" I said and the boy brought out his phone

"Dad I need your help, track my location and come quick" he said and hung up
