Under Attack

I take Kurter’s hand in mine, pulling her with me, running fast towards the safe room. Now I might be a rebel but I know better than defying my brothers when it’s wartime unless it’s really needed. When we were safely in the safe room I activated the small voice device that is connected to both my brothers and father.

“Boys, both me and Kurter are in the safe room, now kick-ass and emerge victorious.”

“Good job sis.” My brothers replied

“I have a feeling this won’t end well so no matter what happens do not get out of there princess,” my dad advised. I understand his worry but right now we all need to have a good might set.

“Don’t say that dad, as long as we are together, everything will be fine,” I assured him. Kurter was looking at my bracelet with her eyes bulged out.

“Bitch start talking! That bracelet is cool as hell.” Well, here we go again.

“Well, I was going to tell you, I just didn’t know-how. Please don’t hate me.” I looked at her with my best pleading eyes.

“If you’re going to deprive me of the news of the year I might just hate you. Lu, my ears are itching.” If this situation wasn’t serious I definitely would have laughed at how desperate she was stomping her heels on the floor.

“The thing is, what I am about to tell you is really huge and me telling you will automatically makes you part of it, so you have to really make sure you want to before I tell you this. And you cannot tell…..”

“And I cannot tell another soul! Out with it now Patricia.” she cuts me off. I need to close my eyes for this.

“My family and I, we’re in the Mafia, in fact, we are the Mafia. MY father is the leader not just in SIN city but around the world.” I can hear the thump-thump of my heart as seconds go by in complete silence. It’s like she completely disappeared. I decided to open my eyes and see for myself. I find her bearing the most comical surprise expression on her face ever.

“Haha hahahahahah.”She finally seems to have snapped out of her trace because of my laughter. She is unbelievable. Before I completely sobered up I heard a groan of pain coming from the bracelet. I shot on my feet with fear as fast as lighting can strike. Kurter was faster to pull me in her arms, she knows I am worried.

“Innocent, Damon, Luca, dad! Is everyone alright?” I asked in desperation, my throat was becoming dry from fear itself. I can’t live without any of them. Losing any of them will break me.

“These fucking Russians.” That’s how I knew Innocent was fine.

“I can’t believe a girl is kicking my ass for the second time today, argh.” that’s our Damon but how about the others? I waited for a whole minute, in hope that one of them will say something. Kurter was squeezing my hand in support but it just couldn’t stop me from worrying. What the hell is going on down there? The groan came again and this time it was raw and intense. I couldn’t just tell which one was it.

“Dad, Luca! Someone fucking answer me before I leave this room” I waited but no one answered. No, no, what’s going on?

“Lu, calm down. I am sure they are okay, they are probably just occupied with kicking those pigs' asses.” My best friend assured me while pulling me in for a comforting hug. I thank the heavens for her. I guess there is nothing I can do other than wait for them to open the door for me. The thing about this safe room is that if you get in, you can never get out until someone who knows the code opened it from the outside. Apparently, they were specifically built like this so my rebellious self won’t get a chance to get out even if I wanted to when we are under attack. Just great! My patience is running really thin right now, all I need to know is that my family is alright, is that too much to ask? After 10 minutes, we were finally out of there running downstairs. When my eyes land on them my blood froze, no this can’t be happening.

“Luca, Dad? What the hell happened to them?” I yelled on top of my lungs with tears running down my face. My dad was lying on the floor with blood oozing from the stomach while Innocent is trying his best to apply pressure on the wound. Luca was just lying there on the floor, I can’t see any movement from him, is he dead? I run to him to inspect. He was breathing, thank God for that.

“Sis, don’t worry, the doctor will be here soon.” Damon, I assured me. I looked at my dad struggling to speak and breathe, I can’t take this anymore. I was running to hide God knows where when Kurter came storming in from the entrance with car keys in her hands. When the hell did she even get out of here? Now that I can clearly see my surrounding, there were bodies lying everywhere in our sitting room, and so much blood. Both of our mafia and of the enemies. Fucking Russian, they will not get away with this, not when I am around.

“Hey boys, get the old man in the car, he is not going to make it by the time the doctor gets here. Lu, we are carrying Luca to the car. I know a doctor that is going to help us. He lives just 5 minutes from here.” I trust Kurter so I gave my brothers a nod to do exactly as she says. It only took us two minutes due to Kurter’s reckless driving. After two knocks the door opened and I opened my mouth in shock as the person who opened the door does the same.

“Patricia, Noah!?” we both shouted in astonishment. I guess we both thought that we will never meet again. Taking in the condition we are in he welcomed us in his house in a haste.

“Please lay them on the beds in the room that is straight ahead on your left. I am just going to get my tools, I will be right back.” He said while running up stairs. Damn, what a hot doctor.
