Song~ Power by Lil Mix



It's now Friday and I have been suspended for two days so far. Today is my third day of suspension but I'm not complaining.

Lucian and Antonio are visiting his Grandma from his mother's side as she was always a sweet lady to Lucian and Tony. They should be coming back tomorrow or the day after.

Today is the day I am going to kill Shadow-Hunter. A stupid fucking assassin for the Russians.

I can't wait to kill this bitch, it's been a while.

Okay I sound psycho.

It's currently 6:00 AM, I got two hours of sleep last night and a horrible nightmare. Rolling out of bed I walk to the shower.

I'll just go to my closet after I shower. I shower, washing my body and hair. When I'm done with my shower and smell like coconuts, I dry off and then brush my teeth.

When I'm done in the bathroom, I walk to my closet with a towel wrapped around me. Walking into my closet I find an oversized shirt and some sweatpants, I also throw on some crocs because I'm just chilling today before my mission tonight.

After putting on some jewelry and my outfit I go downstairs.

In the kitchen, it's the same as usual thing, Sebastian and Domenico doing work, Elijah is cooking. Ares with a protein shake, Luca is drawing, Matteo is asleep on the counter, and Giavanna is still getting ready.

"Good morning Diovanna, how did you sleep?" Elijah asks all cheery. I give a thumbs up sitting down on a stool and pulling out my phone.

According to Shadow-Hunters text he should be at the club for 22:00, Ten PM. I need to have my wig and makeup on and be there for 9:45 to make sure I'm there before him.

"Diovanna, what are you doing today?" Elijah questions trying to start a conversation with me. 'Nothing' I sign.

I'm not going to try and start a relationship with them. I'll get hurt in the end and I don't want that.

They hurt me once, it'll happen again.

'I'm going to my room' I sign before leaving the kitchen.

Why did I come down in the first place?



You can tell she doesn't want to get to know us, I mean we did- I did sit on my ass while our father sent her away for a file, a fucking file.

I knew he didn't like her, that he blamed her for our mother's death. I did nothing and now we may never have a good relationship with her.

"I'll be back" I grumble to Dom.

Walking up the stairs I head to Diovanna's room. Knocking three times on her door I wait.

A couple minutes later she opens the door a curious look in her eyes but all her emotions leave her face when she's sees me.

I'm sorry.

"Can we talk?" I ask her hoping she will give me a chance to talk.

She opens her door wider for me to enter. I do so walking in, she goes and lays on her bed, her back against her headboard.

I sit in her desk chair before beginning. "Look, I know you probably resent us for sending you to that school. I know the basics of what they did but I know it has to be deeper than that." I say.

"But I want you to come to me when you're comfortable to talk to us- to me. I'm sorry our father sent you there Diovanna, I really am" I exclaim, hoping she can forgive me, to give me any amount of emotion.

She sighs closing her eyes and breathing before she opens her eyes and starts signing. I know most of sign language I'm just not hella fluent yet but I can read it.

'Much appreciated Sebastian, but I don't care. I don't want a relationship with you- with anyone, it's better to be alone. Our father was a cunt so please leave cause I sure as hell don't want to talk to you about anything' she signs, I missed a couple words but managed to understand the gist of the message.

She hates me- us.

I sigh nodding and standing up walking out her door defeated.

I tell Dom we have to go to our base in figure something out with the Russians.

One day, I hope one day she will forgive me.



I felt a ping of guilt in my chest for coming off so harsh to Sebastian. He wasn't the one who sent me away, but he watched. He was about 15 and sat there watching as I was dragged out the house.

If my father could do something like sending me to that place none of his little spawns who lived with him for years after could be any different.

The only person I will ever be close with is Lucian, and Rylee.

Anyone else could hurt me.

Everyone is capable of bad things.

~/~/~

It's about 8:15 PM and we just had dinner. It was in eventful, Sebastian kept glancing at me and the whole dinner was silent. Well silent except Matteo who blabbed the whole time but I didn't mind listening.

I'm now getting ready for the club to kill the Russian assassin, Shadow-Hunter.

I take about a twenty minute shower washing my body but not my hair as I washed it last night and I don't want it to be greasy.

When I'm done my shower, I get out drying off before brushing my teeth. I take my hair and tie it up before pulling on the wig. That was a struggle.

When I'm done I put on my makeup, going for a natural shade as eyeshadow with I slim eye wing and some red lipstick. I apply mascara and I'm done.

I walk into my closet with a towel still wrapped around me. Looking through my closet I find the perfect outfit. I found a red satan dress, with some red stiletto heels.





I look so good right now.

I apply light foundation and concealer to some of my really big scars that bother me if people see them.

Those are private.

But I don't care about the smaller ones.

I strap my knifes and a gun to my thigh.

When I'm all done getting ready I notice it is about 9:15 PM so I quickly turn out all my lights in my bedroom and put a pillow under my blanket to make it look like I'm sleeping there.

I disable the cameras for five minutes so security or the older spawns don't catch me.

When that's done, I wait for one of the guards bye the fence close to my window to move before hoping down the balcony and getting down the pipe on the wall close to my room.

When I'm down there I quickly hop the gates of the mansion and make it to the street walking down and towards a tree close by where a car of Lucian's is. He wasn't totally on board with this plan but he knew I would do it anyway.

Reaching the car I open it and get the keys out the glove compartment. It's about a 35 minute drive so I should be there on time.

I start playing Chase Atlantic to pass time in this car.

Reaching the club I slip past the bouncer who was busy keeping two drunk ass teenagers out the club.

I walk straight through the door.

When I get into the club the loud music fills my ears and the smell of alcohol and sweaty body's fills my nose.

I head straight to the bar and write down my order on a napkin for the bartender. Whisky.

Scanning the club I spot a couple low life gangs who are of no threat. I see Casandra dancing without a care in the world, but what really catches my eyes is the man with dark black hair across the room. Looking at his back he has tattoos all up his neck.

When he turns around I finally recognize who he is by his emerald green eyes. The Greek Don.

What the hell is he doing in Italy?

We had met probably two years ago when I was sent to assassinate a low life cartel leader who he apparently was supposed to make a business deal with.

It's not like the deal would have benefited him anyways.

I didn't- still don't speak so he just sat there yelling at me, asking me what I was doing.

I may or may not have spilled my drink on him because I was mad that he was mad I killed the drug guy but i started cursing him out in sign language.

Now if I see him, I avoid him as much as possible because I "fucked up his business" and now we hate each other.

When he closed his eyes to breathe while i was signing to him, I slipped away.

He was furious, but he didn't know who I was.

But if he happens to recognize me it would fuck everything up.

I quickly turn back around avoiding his gaze. When looking around again a familiar dirty blonde man appears seeming to walk to the bar. Shadow-Hunter.

When he sits down ordering his drink he looks around, his eyes finding Casandra who seems to not notice his gaze on her as she talks to the second in command of the Greek mafia.

I take his opportunity to go up behind him and *gags* put my hands on his shoulders rubbing them before kissing his neck.

This is so gross, I will need bleach for my mouth after this.

He sighs moving his neck to give me more room to kiss his neck.

He mutters something in Russian along the lines of "Думаю, у меня есть время по-быстрому потрахаться перед этой работой". [i guess i have time for a quick fuck before this job.]

"Let's get out of here sweetheart" he says in a strong Russian accent.

Nodding my head I follow him to the back room.

When we get into the room, he pushes me against the wall, memories I never wanna remember begin to surface.

Before I can go into a panic attack I swiftly grab his hands twisting them till I hear a crack and his screams. Pathetic.

I slam his face into my knee hearing the crack of his nose. I take out my gun shooting both his knees and his shoulders. He screams in pure agony.

I rip off my wig smearing my lipstick to wipe some blood that splattered on my face off.

His eyes show recognition before he smirks.

"Di-Diovanna, it's b-been a while h-has it not?" He says rhetorically, mockingly.

I don't acknowledge his words, I take my knife and repeatedly stab him, gutting him like a stupid mother fucking fish.

He deserves the pain, to feel a fraction of what I felt.

I stabbed him 57 times getting my anger out before slitting his throat ensuring he is dead.

When I'm done and he has no pulse I carve a small dove into his forehead showing the Russians I'm coming for them. I want them to know I'm coming. To fear for their lives. To fear me.

I am the monster they created.

Here I am covered in the blood of my creator, one of the people who hurt me so bad to the point of no fixing.

This starts my revenge and there is no going back.

If I didn't have a target on my back then I for sure have one now. They will come for me and I have to be prepared.

I leave the room and as im walking to the back of the club I run into Casandra, the Greeks second In command and the Greek Don, Nikolaos Doukas.

I try to walk past them but it seems Casandra recognizes me.

"Dove? That you? Wait whose blood is that?" She practically whisper shouts the last part.

'Be careful Cas, you have a target on your back, watch your surroundings' I sign to her surprised she can see it in this dimly lit hallway.

She is so sweet, and all though I only saw her a couple of times on missions she was almost like an older sister to me. She knew about the school, what my family did, everything.

Because it was easier to poor your heart to a stranger you thought you would never see again, rather than your friends or family who will never be able to look at you the same.

'Shadow-Hunter, Russian assassin. He was here to kill you, lucky for you we had personal beef and I wanted to kill him anyway and when searching for him I saw he was being paid to try and kill you.' I sign to her wanting her to understand to be more careful.

I don't know what I would do if something happened to her.

"Thank you D, I mean it. So that's his blood?" She questions wanting confirmation. I nod. "Good, wait if you're still at that school, won't they know you're killing their allies?!" She asks in panic.

'Im out, the school closed and I stole something important from the Blood Doves and Russians. I have a plan Cas, I'm taking them down. Be careful' I sign trying to walk out again but she stops me.

"Give me your phone, we have a lot to talk about I'll put my number in your phone, okay?" I nod wanting to get out of here before I get caught.

She puts in her number. I look back at the two men, the second in command with curiosity in his eyes, Nikolaos with anger or hatred I don't know.

I also don't care. It's not that deep bro.

I walk out the back door, blood covering every inch of my body.

I walk to my car and drive home.

I make sure there are no guards by my balcony before hopping the gates and climbing the pipe close to my room.

I get on my balcony walking into my room.

I'm so tired I start taking on my stilettos not looking around.

When I look up I make eye contact with.. Luca.

His eyes widen at the sight or amount of blood on me, I can't tell.

Oh shit, this will be hard to explain.

Please don't snitch Luca.
