Alyona quickly pushed herself away from Luciano as soon as she felt her feet touch the ground again. She grimaced and pulled the knife out of her shoulder. It began healing at a slower rate, probably because it was deeper.

There was a metal clink and she looked over at her kidnapper, who had dug the bullet out of his arm. "Bene allora," he mumbled, tasting some of the blood off his fingers. "I've never had a gun do that before." His wound began to string back together, healing itself at a pace that seemed slow to him. "Oh well."

Luciano managed to get Alyona tied up in a chair while she was weakened from her wound. She pulled against the ropes which scratched her skin and turned her arms red. "Iniziamo." He grabbed his knife again.

Alyona sighed, staring at her reflection in the blade, she winced at the memories it brought back. Luciano smiled at her, and stuck the blade in her arm, she screamed out in pain feeling it twist around. He pulled it back out and the cut began to slowly heal, blood poured out of it and dripped onto the floor.

"I wonder how many stabs it'll take to kill you," he said, "if that's possible." Alyona glared at him and spat in his face. He groaned and took out a handkerchief, stabbing the blade back in her arm while he cleaned it off.

"Why are you doing this again? Is that all you do? Kidnap people every two weeks."

Luciano laughed. "Little ragazza hasn't it occurred to you yet that there may be something else at play?" Alyona's eyes widened and she whispered her sister's name. "Si! Now you've got it. Kuro has big plans for her, and in the meantime, I get to hear your darling screams again." He pocketed the handkerchief, and pulled out his knife.

There was a knock on the door, interrupting them in the very middle of their session. "Luci, darling brother of mine, are you done in there? I need some measurements for your new suit."

Luciano sighed in annoyance. "I'm busy, this is why you save the measurements you take." Alyona began giggling, her head hung low and blood covered almost every inch of her body. Her wounds were still healing, but a new one was slashed into her skin every second making the process slow down. She was starting to feel dizzier too. Luciano sliced the knife to silence her, causing an eruption of pain and making her fade in and out of consciousness.

"Are you sure you don't have the time?" His brother walked in, followed by three people holding various weapons up to him.

"Fanculo." Luciano held his hands up and dropped the knife. "This isn't the end, little ragazza."

Oliver walked over to Alyona and cut the restraints off, she slumped forward, completely passed out. "She doesn't look well," he said, looking at Mathieu who helped tie up Luciano and his brother. He sighed.

Canada suddenly ran to the door pushing to get in. "Where is she?" His other self stopped him from going any further. "James is she here?"

"You don't want to see her..." Mathieu said, pushing him away. Canada tried looking past his counterpart's shoulder to find her, but she was out of view. "She'll be okay."
