My heart started racing and I felt like my lungs weren't working

My heart started racing and I felt like my lungs weren't working. I needed to catch my breath. I inhaled and exhaled slowly. Breath. In. Out. In. Out.

"Honey breath, it will be okay. Ares is a fine man and will take care of you" my dad said. He's a fine man? I feel like I should question anything told to me.

"Your name is Ares?" I asked my tears not forming anymore. They were dry and itching my face. Scratch. Scratch. I had no more tears.

"Yes, Ares Russo." He said.

Davina Russo, sounds funny I thought.

"When will I leave?" I questioned. What I really meant was: how long do I have left?

"You have an hour" my dad said.

"Can I see mom and Tilly?" I asked.My father nodded and started walking out of the office.

"Looks like your going to meet the family Ares" my father said.

"I guess so" Ares added.

I stayed quiet on the way to my parents house. My father and Ares were chatting talking about there mafias and how they work. My stomach dropped.

It's weird to hear them talk about it. Less than an hour ago I had normal parents, or at least I thought I did. But now I'm the daughter of a fucking mafia leader. I'm the heir. Once my father retires I'll be given it.

Do I want that? It is my birthright. But at the same time I went to university to learn the law. I learned how to be a good person and fight for what's right. I learned to defend the innocent and sometimes guilty. That's what I held onto, I held onto me being the good girl who always followed the law.

"We're here" my father said. I got out of the car and raced to the front door leaving Ares and my dad behind. I opened the door and walked into my parents kitchen.

„Mom I'm home" I yelled.

"Hey sweetie" she said walking into the kitchen I ran up to her and hugged her. I hugged tightly and heard the others come through the front door.

"She knows" my dad said. Yes dad, I know.

My mom pulled away and looked me in the eyes. I saw a tear roll down her face while she was talking

"I'm sorry"

"Mom it's okay I don't blame you" I said to her.

"What's happening?" Tilly asked while walking towards the rest of us.

"Ill explain later" dad said. Tilly nodded and went to the fridge. She turned back and saw Ares.

"Wait who is he?"

"I'll explain later" dad said again.

"Okay, okay fine, I'll be in my room if you need me"

"Wait" I said. She turned back and I walked up to her and hugged her.

"What's this for?" She asked.

"A goodbye I guess or a see you later"

"Um okay" She hugged me back then returned back to her room. After I said my goodbyes to my mom and dad.

"We love you honey, goodbye" my mom said.

"I love you too, bye" I said while waving them off.

"You ready" Ares asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be" I said. He smiled slightly and we headed back to the car.

"To the airport" Ares said.

Guess this is it. I guess I'm going to Italy and living the life I was supposed to live. The one I was born in. The mafia life.

When we get there I want to learn to defend myself. If I'm going to be apart of this life I want to be able to fight off others. 

To Italy I guess.
