The Twins Almighty

Chapter 4

VENUS POV

I was just sitting on the floor of our house counting the money we had stolen and saved up to see if we could buy three plane tickets to France.

We needed to go.

All I wanted was a new start, where Giovanna would be our somewhat mother and I could just be at peace with Juno without a care in the world.

I just wanted the best for them.

Is that selfish?

I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts and world that I thought I was hearing things when I heard two men speaking in French.

"Pourquoi diable sommes-nous ici mec? Je pensais que la vieille dame était morte? Pourquoi le cherchons-nous?" The higher voice of the two asked someone.

(Why the devil are we here man? I thought the old lady was dead? Why are we looking for her?)

The guy responded in English,

"Because imbecile, we finally have some sort of leverage against the Italian mafia don't you see? After they killed the old boss so easily, nobody wants to do business with us and if this old lady helps us get on current bosses' good side, who cares about anything else? The reason we're here though is because our source said she had two bodyguards protecting her and since they live here, we just kill them and kidnap her. Simple as that."

The other person seemed to have nodded back since I didn't hear anything else.

I got up and decided that I was going to confront them when I heard shuffling and began to smell gasoline.

They're going to torch it....I thought as I began to realize I needed to leave and stop them otherwise I would die, and they would burn our home down.

It was too late.

I heard what I think the lighter was, drop and everything erupted into white. I hurriedly stuffed my pockets with the money I was counting and began crawling to the entrance.

I was almost past it when a blast sent me flying towards the ground headfirst.

I must have passed out because I woke up to paramedics yelling at me to stay awake and them telling me what amount of im guessing painkillers to give me.

The only thing going through my mind is how the hell didn't I notice that Giovanna was in the mafia?

-20 minutes later-

I wake up to find myself in a bright white room, connected to me are a bunch of IVS.

I see the doctor in front of me on the phone   speaking in French.

He must have thought I passed out because of the painkillers.

I internally thank all the days that Giovanna made us train to become immune to certain drugs.

I continued to pretend to be asleep as I eavesdropped his conversation.

"Oui monsieur. J'ai une des filles ici mais-" he apparently got cut off by whoever he was speaking with, "oui je veux me venger de Giovanna depuis qu'elle a tué ma femme mais pourquoi devons-nous aller traquer ces pauvres filles?" there was another silence when he got wide eyed, "N-pas de patron, je vous les apporterai tous tout de sui-" the other person seemed to have hung up on him leaving him to ramble on his own for a bit.

(Translation:

Yes sir. I have one of the girls here but-

Yes I want revenge on Giovanna since she killed my wife but why do we have to go hunt these poor girls?

N-no boss, I'll get them all to you right awa-)

He turned to me and must have thought I was still sleeping since he kept rambling to himself. This time he spoke clearly in English,

"This is all the damn Italians fault. That bitch definitely raised these girls to become part of their mafia." he took a pause seeming to be deep in thought.

"Should I kill this one now?...It would be less of a hassle....

No, no I'll wait till they're all here and then I'll kill them all at once."

He seemed happy with himself that he thought of this oh so "brilliant" plan. What he doesn't realize or doesn't want to admit, is that we can each kill about 20 grown men. Giovanna could kill 30 if she tried, I bet.

The man left and all of a sudden, the door burst open and in came Juno and Giovanna.

-10 minutes later-

We all finished talking when the doctor came back inside.

I saw the shift in his eyes when he looked at Giovanna and I nudged my sister.

"Πάρτε αυτό, έχω την αίσθηση αν κάτι πέσει, θα το χρειαστείτε περισσότερο από εμένα." I hand her a syringe filled with what i'm hoping is an anesthetic that I grabbed from one of the nurses taking care of me as I continued, "Εάν όλα πάνε νότια, υπόσχομαι ότι θα φύγεις από εδώ. Με ή χωρίς Giovanna και εγώ..." I whispered to her in Greek.

(Take this, I have a feeling if something goes down, you will need it more than me. If all goes south, promise me you will leave here. With or without Giovanna and I...)

She simply nodded without making eye contact with me. I looked to see what she was looking at and it was the Doctor beginning to stalk towards Giovanna.

I swear time began to go in slow motion.

As the doctor lunged for Giovanna, Juno lunged for him. Juno was lighter and faster it seemed, because as the doctor was going for Giovanna's neck, Juno struck him on his back with the syringe, pushing it until the liquid in the syringe was gone.

He then slightly turned around to stare at us before falling onto his knees. Giovanna brought her leg up and roundhouse kicked him in the face.

Even though she might look like a fragile old lady, man is she lethal.

Juno just stared at Giovanna in shock.

"What? I don't want him to wake up and start hunting us for at least another hour." she said as she stepped over the doctor.

"Now come on, we must go to Italy." she started towards me, removing all the lines connected to me and helped me off the bed. While doing so, I started to ask her some questions.

"Wait, I thought you couldn't go back to Italy?" I ask her, confused out of my mind.

"Now since they've found us, there's no use in running. Plus, you two will be my protectors." she responded with a heavy Italian accent.

I looked towards my sister as we both nodded at each other.

This lady was the only person that was there for us for most of our lives, she actually cared.

We were not about to send her to get slaughtered in Italy.

"To Italy we go..." I said as all three of us walked out the hospital.
