Song~ Girl With One Eye - Florence & The Machine.



"Have you found anything Dante?" I ask, so far we have nothing. The footage in the kitchen of the attack was gone and no one, not even Luca could get it back.

However, the cameras on the outside of the mansion showed a man enter through the kitchen window. The video caught a glimpse of his face so we have been running his half face picture through database recognition for the past two days.

So far, it came up with nothing.

"No, it's like he doesn't even exist." Dante answers annoyed. Fuck.

I sigh, "okay. Let me know if any updates, I'm gonna go check on Diovanna." I tell them, without waiting for a reply I leave my office.

It's about 2:00 AM so everyone who isn't in my office, should be asleep.

Making my way to the hospital wing of the house, a couple guards nod to me in greeting and I nod back.

I reach Diovanna's room and quietly open the door before stepping in. However, to my horror, the hospital bed where my sister once was, is now empty.

I immediately flip the light switch on seeing a piece of paper placed on the bed. Amara wakes up with a groan, seeing the bright lights but I pay no mind and grab the note off the bed.

I open it. 'I was not kidnapped, I'm safe and with a friend. I have something to take care of.' It reads. I swear to gosh that if someone made her wri-. At the bottom I read, 'Ps: no I was not forced to write this, I'm fine.'

What the fuck?

I smack Lucian and Luca on the back of the head, effectively waking there dumbasses up before kicking Matteo- who is on the floor- in the leg.

Matteo groans but sits up.

"Where the hell is Diovanna?" I ask, deathly calm. To calm.

It is now that all four of the people in this room turn to the bed. Amara quickly stands up and checks the bathroom.

"She isn't there, she left a note." I shout to her. She comes back in the room a second later snatching the note. "Fuck." I hear her mutter under her breath.

I would scold her but right now isn't the time. Does Diovanna even realize she is in so much danger right now? She just got out of a damn coma!

I look over at Lucian who hasn't said a word this whole conversation. He looks... unbothered. He knows something.

"Where is she?" I exclaim, directed towards Lucian.

He looks at me unfazed, "I don't know, ask Diovanna." He says, sarcasm lacing his tone while he shrugs his shoulders.

"Are you not worried in the slightest? I don't even think she understands how much danger she is in!" I tell him. He just chuckles.

"Believe me, she knows exactly how much danger she is in. She just simply doesn't care. And second of all, I have a feeling she isn't alone right now so please, let me sleep in peace." He says before resting his head back on Luca's shoulder.

We all just look at Lucian dumbfounded.

Where is she?

Who is she with?

Is she safe?

"Luca, track her phone. See if you can get a location. Just incase." I say before walking out the door.

Where are you sorellina? [Little Sister]

~/~/~

My brothers, Giavanna, my cousins and our aunts and uncles are all sitting in the huge family living room watching a movie.

Luca and Dante are trying to track Diovanna's phone. Lucian is occasionally helping because he is 'bored' as he says.

All of a sudden, the news turns on for an emergency message.

"Breaking news! Five warehouses in Russia have been blown up, killing almost 2,000 men inside. We advise all citizens to stay inside and keep safe. There may be a war starting and we would like for all people to be safe!" The news guy- Jerry- says.

The news then switches to live helicopter footage of the explosions. And there, there are some of the locations of the Russian warehouses we were going to attack in retaliation against the Russians.

So who blew it up?

I know it wasn't the Spanish because Antonio is with us and would have informed us of this. So that leaves a whole bunch of other mafias who could do it, but why?

"Hell yeah! Take that you fucking Russians!" Apollo shouts, his Italian accent prominent.

"Language!" Elijah, Emiliano, Aria, and all of our aunts say at the same time before busting out laughing.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, laughing, watching the movie and just talking, before Dante and Luca snap their heads up from their computers.

"Uh guys?" Dante's voice rings out, causing us all to face him.

"We just got a semi location off of Diovanna's phone..." he trails off.

"Spit it out." I demand, my tone harsher than I meant it.

Dante sighs, "Her location right now is flying over the Pacific Ocean, but her location before that, pinged in- we'll- uh- Russia." He finally finishes his sentence, scratching the back of his neck.

"She was where?!" Alejandro growls out. He is older than me by three years, and he is scary as fuck.

Our cousins- the Baninchi's- run the Sicily mafia and since my uncle Santiago was the oldest son of his father, he had inherited the mafia and passed it down to Alejandro three years ago. (A/N: I know this was not mentioned before, but just go with it)

He is even scarier now that he is the mafia don, and that is coming from another mafia don.

But leaving that thought behind, I go back to the situation at hand. My aunts are all worried sick. The cousins are all waiting on more information from Luca and Dante. My uncles are making calls, trying to see if she was spotted anywhere in Italy.

But then, out of nowhere, Lucian bust out laughing. Then he starts rolling on the floor laughing. Luca nudges him with his foot, "Lucian, I don't think now is the time to be laughing." He murmurs, his eyes fixed on all of our angry faces.

"Lucian, Mattia, Martinez, if you don't stop laughing I will kick your ass. This isn't funny, if she was on enemy territory, do you know how much danger she could be in?!" Antonio shouts at his younger idiotic brother.

Lucian glares at his brother for using his full name. I can't blame him, Mattia? What were his parents thinking.

"She is fine, they won't kill her. You forget where that school was located, do you not?" Lucian questions. I tense, the only people who know where that school was, is Domineco, Ares, Me, and Antonio.

We weren't going to tell anyone else as it would only cause problems.

I see my family's confused faces at Lucian's statement, but before anyone could say anything, all my grandparents walk into the room.

"Did you all see the news?!" Grandma shouts. Without giving us the time to answer she starts speaking again. "Someone blew up five of the Russian warehouses!" She says, a wide smile on her face.

I smile softly at her, "yeah Grams, we heard." I inform her.

"That's amazing, man I really hate Russians. Hey we're missing one of you, wait where is Diovanna?!" Grandmother asks, her voice going from happy to concern at the realization.

"Not her-" I start but am cut off by Alejandro. "Well she was in Russia." He states casually and eerily calm.

"What?!" Both my Grandmas shout.

Grandpa looks shocked, and so does our grandfather. Surprisingly.

I love him, but he has been such a dick to Dio that he is getting on my damn nerves. If he keeps it up, I will beat his ass, again.

"Wait, you said was? Where is she now?" Grandma exclaims, getting out of her thoughts.

I go to answer but Dante beats me to it.

"Uh well according to her phone, she just got to an airstrip in Italy, so she is back on our territory." Dante replies, shifting in his seat.

We all know how scary grandma can be.

"When she gets here, we will all speak to her." Grandma states before walking off to the kitchen.

Probably to go bake some cookies to keep her cool.

~/~/~

The front door opens at about 9:00 PM, but no footsteps are heard, you would think it was a ghost.

That is until, my little sister who happened to wake up from a coma yesterday walks in. "where have you been?! You could have been hurt! You just woke up from a coma!" Elijah says immediately after seeing Diovanna for any new injury's.

'I'm fine.' Is all she signs before trying to head to her room.

Lucian steps in her way before whispering something to her. A blush makes its way to my sister's cheek's before she suddenly smacks Lucian on the back of the head with a scowl on her face.

Mood swings at its finest.

"Diovanna." I call out catching her attention. She raises an eyebrow at me. "Let's talk in the living room." Is all I say before walking away.

She follows close behind with Lucian on her heels.

We enter the living room to find ALL of our extended family sitting here.

"Sit Diovanna, we need to talk." Grandma says from her seat next to grandpa.

And so it begins.



Lucian looks at me with a knowing smirk on his face. I may not have told him what I did, but he just knows.

He may have also guessed who I was with...

I do as Grandma says and sit on the couch where Luca and Dante are. Lucian sits on the floor leaning back against my legs.

"Diovanna, why were you in Russia?" My grandmother asks, a little uncertainty in her voice.

Ignoring her statement, I ask my own question. 'You were able to track my phone?' There was a hint of surprise on my face.

"Yes, Damte and Luca did. You just woke up from a coma! What were you thinking?" Uncle Santiago asks.

'I had something to do. I was out for what, a week right? I can't just lay around.'I state.

My grandma sighs, "Diovanna, your health is serious. We just want to know what was so important as to why you were on enemy territory." She explains softly to me.

I go to say something but my grandfather beats me to it. "She was probably there to help the Russians destroy us." He mutters with a scoff.

I grit my teeth at his words and resist the urge to punch him in the face.

"Look at her she isn't even denying it! All the information she probably has on our mafia to try and bring us down!" He shouts, anger seeping through his tone. My jaw clench's so hard at his comment I think it might break.

"Father, stop." Uncle Lorenzo says sternly.

"Why are you all defending her! Your own brother knew what she did and you don't even care! I say we send her back to that school!" He shouts, it's a good thing Luna and Ruth are in the game room with aunt Olivia.

I won't go back, I'll die before I go back.

"Stop Gin-" grandma says but grandfather ignores her completely and keeps his gaze on me.

"Come on! Defend yourself! Oh wait, you can't! You don't even speak! No wonder my son thought you were weak!" He continues to yell.

"Stop." I whisper.

"You can't even stand up for yourself!" He says again. Lucian by now is trying to get up but my hold on his shoulders is keeping him down.

"Stop." I whisper a little louder.

"Your own father used to say you were weak! And he was always right!" He says. I know.

"Stop." I whisper a little louder.

My uncle's and the older cousins shout at grandfather to shut up but he continues.

"Your father-". I don't let him finish.

"Stop!" I shout.

My grandfather's eyes widen at me shouting. The whole family just stares at me, mouths slightly open and surprise shown all over their faces.

"My whole life no one ever listens! To my cry's, to my shouts, to my pleas for help! I'm done! I'm tired of being unheard! So fuck you!" I scream at them, wanting- needing them to understand.

"My father this, my father that! My father was a bitch! Dragging his fucking four year old daughter to her room to beat her with a belt! I did nothing wrong! I was a child!" I shout, everyone looks at me astonished. But I don't care, I need to let this out.

"Maybe in some way I deserved it! Maybe I am weak, worthless, stupid! I'm done! I'm done caring about what others think of me, I'm done trying to get people to listen to me! I'm done! I was a child! A child! Your 'perfect son' used to beat his own kid!" The words are spilling out before I can even think.

My grandmothers face morphs into one of sadness. My grandfather has an emotionless mask on. But his eyes- his eyes hold pain.

And I couldn't care less.

"You want to send me back to that 'school'? Well I'll tell you what! I'll die before anyone can send me back there!" I can't control the rage that I'm filled with, and I might just let it out.

I might let the rage control my whole body, because I'm tired of being nice, of staying quiet, of being silenced.

"You wanna try and send me back to a school where they abuse you, where they starve you! Where they kill little kids?! You want to send me back to that hell hole? I'll kill before I go back there." I say the last part calmly, some of there faces morphing into horror at the glimpse of what happened at that school.

They think that's bad? They don't want to know anything else that happens there.

"They do horrible things there. They want to turn you into a fucking killing machine! If you can't pull the trigger on a five year old girl as your task you are beat to near death! Would you want to go there?! Huh! Would you!" I shout, my anger getting the best of me.

Stop, you don't want them to know everything.

"I don't think you do! You have no idea the worst that happened at that school, so you wanna send me back there grandfather? You'll have to kill me first bitch." I tell them honestly.

"Honestly, did you even check to see if Elio- your son- was telling the truth?!" I ask, wanting to know. I already know they didn't.

"No- but- he is my son! He wouldn't do that!" My grandfather defends his son.

"Well if you had checked his word, I wasn't even in his office the day he sent me away! He found someone else looking through the files and all it took was one word from that person to get my father to drag me out of the house and throw me on a plane!" I shout.

I watch Giavanna tense, but I won't expose her. For now.

"My father, is no father to me! He may be your son, but he was a monster. A child abuser is what he was. And he knew exactly where that school was, he knew it was on enemy territory and he still sent me there." I tell them starting to calm down.

Some of there faces morph into confusion at the mention of the schools location, but I don't pay attention to it.

"Tell me what that says about your son." I tell them beginning to walk out the door.

But is top half way there and turn around. "And regarding your mafia, I think I have saved it more times than you will ever know." I state before turning around and walking out the door.

The guards open up the gate and I immediately start running. To where? I don't know, just away from that house.

I need to get away.
