Song~ Never Felt so Alone - Labrinth and Billie Eilish



I do a round house kick effectively knocking out a few teeth and knocking out James. James is a complete asshole who actually fucking enjoys being in this hell hole. I have no clue why.

This place is shit.

I get out of the ring I was just sparing in and grab a towel wiping the sweat from my face when Mrs. Lucia comes over and smacks me across the face. My head whips to the side and the familiar metallic taste fills my mouth.

"You may be our best assassin but remember your place Dove. We own you. Did we tell you that you could step out of the ring?" She asks but before I can shake my head no, she beats me to it.

"No, I don't think so. Since you can't seem to follow simple orders, you are going to the pit." She spits with venom. This makes my eyes widen the slightest, the pit is dangerous, really fucking dangerous.

I nod while gritting my teeth.

She roughly grabs my arm in a death grip, yanking me towards the pit.

The pit is a giant hole in the ground. Literally.

Lucia or any of the guards can leave you here for days sometimes even two weeks with no food. You can drink water from the puddles down there to survive. But staying down here isn't even the worst thing, they get rapist, abusers, and ex-gang members down here. If you don't fight them off- no matter how dehydrated or starved you are- they'll do whatever they want to you.

I learned that the hard way.

Lucia throws me in the pit, literally throws me down the hole. luckily for me, I land on my feet though.

Am I secretly spider man?

In the blink of an eye- before I can even look around- I'm tackled to the ground, a man on top of me trying to hold me down. He is straddling me so I have the perfect position to knee him in his two inch dick. And that's exactly what I do.

He lets go of my wrist while I crawl out from under him.

Damn this hoe is fucking fat. Pot belly looking ass.

He grabs my ankle when I manage to get out from under him, pulling me back by my leg. I kick his face with my other foot effectively earning a crack from what I assume was his nose.

I stand to my full 5'7 height and kick the man in the stomach while he was holding his nose.

While he is distracted with the pain, I go behind him and grab his head twisting it with full force snapping his neck.

Gosh that was hard cause he weighs so dam much.

I go to sit down and rest but I hear shouting and yelling from above me. Looking up I see people running and grabbing things. What the hell is going on?

"Dove?" The rough voice of my best friend Lucian rings out.

His head leans down over the opening to the pit- which is normally covered- and he smiles at me. "Cops are here. Lucia and the other school owners ran but left us. They didn't want to get caught! Hide that body and I'll pull you up!" He shouts down to me.

I smile and do as told hiding the body in a far part of the pit and out of sight. I'm finally getting the fuck out of here.

Once I finish hiding the body I go to where Lucian is and he pulls me up with a rope. He gives me a slight pat on the shoulder cause neither of us are much of the hugging type of people.

Lucian is a year older than me, but we got here the same year. I got here a couple weeks before him. He knows everything, what my family did, how I got here, why I stopped talking, he knew me when I did talk, and him of all people understand me better than anyone.

We both go to run back to our group rooms that have 20-50 kids in each group room. And we wait for cops to show up.

Cant let the cops know we are assassins, no one here wants to go to jail.

I stop half way there, having thought of something. 'Go to the group room I'll be there in a few' I sign and turn to go the other way but he reaches out and lightly grabs my arm.

"Where are you going?! We have to go, cops will be here any moment! We have to go look innocent and play a board game or something." He whisper shouts as we hear sirens close by.

'I'll be right back go wait in the group room I promise I'll be okay' I sign quickly, turning around and running through the halls looking for the book.

That special book has all of the Russian Mafia plans along with the Assassins program- Blood Doves- to destroy all the other mafias.

If they don't have the book, they don't have their plans that they've spent years working on, they don't have their poison syrums- without knowing what goes in it, they don't have the prints for their special guns and knifes. They don't have their special technology. They have nothing.

Walking into the upstairs office where the Russian leader would be when he came to visit, I trash the room tearing it apart looking for a stupid book.

Finding it under a floorboard- amateurs- I make my way out the office sprinting back to the group rooms before the cops bust down the door.

I shove the book in my shirt so no one sees it. I won't tell Lucian about the book, I can't bring him into this shit just because I want to destroy the Russian mafia and the Blood Doves.

It's my problem, I'll fix it alone.

Walking into the group room I immediately spot Lucian sitting at a table- his leg bouncing up and down while he stares off into space.

I slip into the seat across from him and give him a comforting smile while interlocking our pinkies.

He gives me a meek smile back which I understand in these circumstances.

The cops will probably return the younger ones to their parents while older ones like us will live on our own.

How old do I have to be to live on my own? I'm 17, that's old enough right?

All of us are either just laying in our beds or playing board games or something when cops bust through the doors kicking them down- literally- and that's when everyone puts there scared crying acts on and the police immediately lower there guns and start asking questions.

Lucia and the others had always taught us what to do if this were to happen. You lie. Deny. Whatever you have to do. You just keep your mouth shut.

Always.

If Lucia found out that one of us snitched to the cops, she would put a fucking bounty on our heads. She wouldn't risk it.

Everyone is replaceable.

The cops investigated and looked around- questioning all of us. Well I didn't speak- couldn't speak.

Eventually, all of us are taken to the police station where they asked more about our families and less about the school. They wanted to get us all home.

They asked questions like "how long have you been there? Do you know where your family is? How was it like at this school?" Shit like that.

Kids who remember their parents call them and of course their parents are on the way right away.

I obviously remember my family but I don't want to go to them, hell I'm obviously not wanted if they send me away for something I didn't do. So when it's my turn I signed to Lucian just to tell them I don't remember.

But odds must not be in my favor as they ordered for a DNA test.

Many of us have been here for half our lives, like me and Lucian. Lucian's brother meant well, he sent him here to have a good education and so he didn't get caught up in the illegal world.

Lucian may have been young when he was sent here but word always travels around in the underworld so he found out why he was sent away while on a mission.

Lucian called his older brother- who is apparently the don of the Spanish mafia. You would think a mafia don would be able to tell the difference between a regular boarding school and a secret assassin training school.

But nonetheless, Lucian's older brother just wanted what the best education for his little brother, which this school was supposed to have. Obviously it didn't. But his brother loves him so he called him.

A lady walks in the room I'm in with Lucian as I speak through sign language and the police didn't understand so Lucian is translating for them.

"Hey darlings, my name is Bailey! I'm here to take your blood. Is that ok with you? I don't want to touch you if you're not comfortable with it." She says calmly as she pulls on a pair of latex gloves.

I give her a firm nod to let her know I'm okay with her continuing the blood test.

She comes over takes my blood leaving me a cookie she brought for lunch today incase I was hungry.

Gosh I love this lady.

"Alright I will go run this in the lab to see if you have any relatives, I will be back in about three hours, maybe a little longer. Feel free to ask anyone here for anything you may need." She assures before leaving.

I give her a small smile and a wave before she leaves. She is nice.

I look over at Lucian. His leg bouncing up and down as he looks to be deep in thought. I gently put my hand on his shaking leg to stop him. He looks over at me and I sign to him. 'It will be fine. We always make it, your brother loves you. It'll be fine.' I sign with a small reassuring smile.

I just hope that DNA test gives false results and I don't have to go back to my family.

"Yeah, yeah" he sighs rubbing his face. "It'll be fine. Just- just promise me whatever happens we're in it together. You're my best friend. Whatever we do, we do it together." He states.

I throw one of my arms over his shoulders. "I promise." I say leaning my head on his shoulder.

~/~/~/~

Lucian lays asleep, his head on my lap with my hands playing with his hair, my back leaning against the wall.

I know it was definitely getting late and it's been a long day so I told Lucian to sleep.

There is a light knock at the door before the door softly opens and Mrs. Bailey walks in, a huge smile adoring her face and papers in hand.

Oh fuck, please don't say it.
