Song~ Reflections - The Neighborhood
3 hours of sleep? That's a pretty good nights rest right there.
Looking at the clock on my nightstand, it reads 4:26 AM. Not bad. My throat is hella dry so I swallow a bunch of times but it doesn't help.
Deciding even if I'm thirsty, I don't wanna run in to any biologicals right now so I get up and make my way to the bathroom.
Opening the door I go to the sink, turn the water on, and put my face under the faucet.
Even in the sink it tastes like rich people water.
Once I feel satisfied, I make my way back to my room. Pulling out the paper with the cryptic codes I wrote down, I continue to go over first targets and every detail about them.
Every detail till I know their dead dog's name. I will not have any surprises to catch me off guard- no loose ends.
This revenge is not only about me. It's for all of us.
~/~/~
Looking over at the clock, it reads 6:55 AM. I didn't realize I had been planning for that long.
Rolling out of bed, I walk out my room and down the stairs going to the kitchen. In the kitchen I notice Sebastian, Domenico, and Elijah.
Giving a nod in greeting to them I walk over to the fridge to grab some water when Joanna comes to me.
"I can do that for you Mrs. Diovanna!" She says cheerfully. I put my hand out shaking my head in a 'no' motion before signing to her.
'No it's okay, I just want water I can get it, also just call me Diovanna, your older than me and i should be calling you Mrs, not the other way around' I sign before turning around.
"Oh uh- dear. I started learning sign language after finding out that's how you communicate, but the only words I can understand are my name, yes, no, and okay" she says scratching the back of her neck out of nervousness.
I smile amused at her. I look to Elijah who happens to be watching our interaction along with the other two lads.
'Can you translate for her?' I sign to him knowing he will understand. He nods explaining to Joanna what I said.
"Oh sweetie your to kind Diovanna, if you insist on getting your own water than it's okay with me. Whatever you want" she assures patting my slightly bruised shoulder from being thrown in the pit- literally.
I bight my lip, turning around and grabbing my water. Turning back around to face my brothers seeing them already looking at me.
Raising my eyebrows at them in silent question of 'why are you staring at me?', Sebastian speaks up.
"You're going to go shopping today, probably with Giavanna, Matteo, Luca and Ares. They will get you everything you need" he says going back to his things on his laptop. I just nod.
I look over to Elijah signing to him. 'What time are we shopping?' I sign. "12:00 so be ready" he says with a happy smile on his face.
I give once again, another nod heading upstairs.
~/~/~
A knock interrupts my for once peaceful thoughts.
Opening the door to see my twin- who might I add looks nothing like me, holding some clothes.
She is a copy of our father. I'm a copy of my mother.
"Hey, I brought some more clothes for you to wear to the mall so we can shop! Here." She says handing me the clothes. "They should fit perfectly but if not just come back over to my room okay? Okay, see ya!" She rambles before turning around and skipping down the hall.
She is definitely a ball of sunshine.
With the new pair of clothes, I decide to shower and then change into the outfit.
Once I'm finished showering, I dry off, leaving my hair to air dry. I put on the black ripped baggy jeans and the black crop top before pulling on my jacket I came here with.
(A/N not the hat)
Once I'm changed I begin to work on my hair, no way was I leaving this long ass wet hair down so my jacket is wet cause of my hair.
I hate that feeling.
Pulling my hair into a slick back pony, leaving a couple front prices out to frame my face. I plate the ponytail.
After finishing my hair and changing into the outfit for the day, I quietly head down stairs and wait by the door.
A couple minutes Luca shows up by the door too.
I haven't heard or seen much of him, he seems like the kinda guy to keep to himself. He wasn't quiet when he was younger that's for sure.
Taking the chance he may no sign language I turn to him. 'You know sign language?' I sign to him.
'I do' he sign back. This causes a little grin to form on my face. 'That's cool, you still like to draw?' I sign back to him.
'You remember?' He signs with a surprised face. I just smile and nod at him. 'That's cool, and yes I like to draw. I'm a tattoo artist' he signs to me.
'That sounds fun, wanna give me another tattoo?' I sign, actually liking Luca's presence. 'Another one?' He signs back with a teasing smirk on his face.
Shaking my head at him with a smile i reply to him. 'Yea, I have a couple tattoos already' i answer honestly.
'I'm always happy to give you a tattoo' he replies instantly. Before we could talk more the three other evil spawns appear.
"Ready to go?" Giavanna asks.
I just give her a nod.
We all head out the door after telling Sebastian we were leaving. Me and Luca got in his Matt black Lamborghini huracan. While Ares, Matteo, and Giavanna got in a white Audi R8.
Me and Luca were vibing the whole way to the mall with Chase Atlantic, The Weekend, and The neighborhood. We didn't have time to listen to more.
I'm pretty sure Luca sped the whole way here because the others pulled up about ten minutes after us.
"Dam! Luca you need to slow down! We were in no rush." Matteo exclaims placing his hand on Luca's shoulder. Luca just rolls his eyes in response.
"So where we going" Luca asks us, well more me than the rest but.
I just shrug. "We can decide once we get in there, come on let's go we look stupid just standing around." Giavanna says in a duh tone.
We all walk into the mall, where a lot of fucking people are staring at us, we'll them.
I don't give off any expression to anyone.
Ares goes to a sports store off on his own as he says, and I quote "I don't want to be seen with you losers".
Ares hasn't been mean to me in the slightest, in fact they have all been quite nice. Ares just doesn't seem to like people that much.
Whats new?
Giavanna met up with a couple of her friends. She offered for me to go with her but those girls didn't look like the nicest people.
They gave off Regina George vibes if I'm being honest.
Matteo said he was going to the toy shop and then the arcade.
He is such a golden retriever.
Luca said he just wanted to spend sibling time with me so he ended up going everywhere with me. He also teased me about my tattoos I got illegally.
We got me a whole new wardrobe, a bunch of shoes, some makeup, and a couple hair products especially since all of my shit I was allowed to have at boarding school is in police investigation.
Now we're heading to Victoria Secret and then apple to get me a phone.
Once at Victoria Secret, I go inside while Luca waits outside for me. I get a couple regular pairs of undergarments before getting a couple lingerie's to make me feel a little better about myself.
Once I'm done I pay with the black card and walk out the store. When Luca sees me, he pockets his phone and nods his head for me to follow him.
We get to the Apple Store where he buys me a phone, laptop, and AirPods. I really didn't need him to pay for anything but he insisted.
Once Luca payed we both leave and he texts the family group chat saying we will meet at the food court.
Me and Luca ended up getting there first. About ten minutes later Ares showed up and then Matteo.
Giavanna said she was still shopping with her friends and might catch a ride with them incase we finish shopping before she does.
Ares, Luca, and Matteo seemed to be unfazed that Gia wouldn't be with us as they told me she goes out with her friends often.
I shrugged it off and found a table, Luca and Matteo go and order our food while me and Ares sit here and wait.
Ares was just looking at his phone while I looked around. The feeling of being watched was causing the hair on the back of my neck to stand up. Someone was watching, hidden in plain sight.
I just don't know where.
Looking back at Ares who is already looking at me suspiciously. "What are you doing?" He questions.
I wanted to say 'your mom' so bad but I refrained because that would be insensitive sense she's dead and she is my mom to.
I just shake my head at him. He just shrugs his shoulders muttering something along the line of "weirdo."
Asshole.
Matteo jumps onto the seat next to Ares bumping his shoulder while he's at it while Luca sits calmly next to me.
"Watch it Mattia." Ares says pushing Matteo's shoulder.
Matteo gasps, "I'm not a girl! I'm a man. Matteo the man." He says puffing out his chest. Ares scoffs in return, "yet you scream like a girl." He says punching Matteo in the stomach.
Matteo hunches over holding his stomach from the impact of Ares's fist.
Luca and I just watch the two while shaking our heads.
When I'm half way done with my Big Mac, the feeling of being watched intensifies.
My sixth sense is going crazy right now.
Looking around one more time, this time I do see something out of place. A man leaning against the wall in black jeans, black shirt, black hat, black sunglasses, and black shoes.
What dumbass wears all black in plain daylight?
The man has tattoos going up his arms and a certain tattoo sticking out his shirt sleeve. The Russian tattoo. Looking more closely at this man I realize how familiar he looks.
Igor Aleksandr. And he is smiling right at me.
Igor is one of the highest, best skilled assassins for the Russians. I've met him a few times and not on good occasions.
He is ruthless, a killing machine, a robot with no morals. He was horrible, and devoted to serving the Russian mafia.
I have no doubt they sent him here to get what they want, the book I stole? Me? To try and kill my brothers? Or all.
But considering Igor is starring at me with an evil glint in his eye, I can only assume whatever he wants has something to do with me.
I wont tell my brothers but i wont let anything happen to them either. I'm upset they didn't try to get me out of that school after our father's death but I would never let any harm come to them.
With that thought in mind, I turn to Luca-'I'm going to the bathroom' I sign getting out of my seat and walking towards the restroom. Still having sight on Igor from my peripheral vision, I see him walking this way to.
It's about to get messy.
I enter the family bathroom with only one stall so no innocents are involved or watching. I take out my knife and lean against the counter waiting for Igor.
Just as I'm about to check my watch once more, the door opens and Igor steps in and looks towards the left side of the restroom.
Should have looked the other way.
Taking this distraction, I jump on his back putting him in a head lock. His hands reach for my arms locked around his neck- pulling, trying to let any amount of oxygen into his lungs. But I don't let go.
The dumbass falls to the floor causing me to fall with him.
He rolls us over hitting my head on the floor causing a light groan to escape my lips.
If I don't end this soon my brothers will probably come look for me. Or not, didn't think they cared that much.
I back up getting onto my feet as Igor does the same, however I'm quicker. I sweep his legs but he grabs my foot.
I take my free for and kick him in the face before grabbing a fistful of his hair and slamming his head into the white tiles.
I push his pressure point and knock him out. Can't kill him yet, that was too easy.
I grab Igor's phone from his pocket and send a message to the Russian don, Vladimir Mikhail.
"It's gonna take more than that to get me you cunt. Just leave me the fuck alone. ~Love, your favorite, Dove. Ps. Tell Lucia I said hey, and to go fuck herself." Read the message I sent.
My code name in the underworld is Dove. Sounds so stupid, I mean "I'm here to kill you and yet I go by the name Dove" How peaceful.
But I guess in some ways the name isn't so bad. Doves symbolize peace and freedom so I guess knowing the people I kill think I'm peaceful because of my name brings me joy because I am the one to inflict pain to them, make them wish they were dead.
I take away there peace, to give innocents peace.
I wash the blood off my hands and finish sending the message before making my way back to the table.
Now I have to think of an excuse. ~~~
A/N: these chapters are ass but I promise when I get to the huge plot of the book it's better.
Don't forget to vote and comment!
Till next time my hoes<3
