The Mafia's Lost Assassins

Chapter Eleven

Adelina's POV

Our brother's arrival home seems to have surprised our family members talking to us but I knew they arrived home at this time every day unless they had sports or another obligation. The older boys also like to stop working in the early afternoon so they come home all together often. I take out one of my daggers and spin it as I wait for the show to begin. We had our hoods and masks off so it will be easy for our other brothers to identify who we are just like it was for the others. Their voices drift into the kitchen and a few of the boys argue about some pranks and complaints about school. Everyone in the living room was silent, seemingly waiting to see what would happen.

It is obvious that they didn't tell the younger boys all of their plans so their reaction to us casually sitting in their living room will be interesting however we will need to leave soon. The longer we stay the higher the chance someone will figure out our connection to our family and if The Roses are the lost kids of the mafia then The Aces will automatically be the focus of suspicion for being the other three missing kids. The Nightmares and many other people in our world are aware of the closeness of our two teams and the people who trained with us know we are related in some way.

Unseen Nightmares can not disclose any information about other members however if questions come up they can insinuate things or if they are told to kill The Roses family without any further clarification they can interpret it any way they wish.

When their voices get louder and closer to the room I look at the door I knew they would walk through on their way to the gaming room where they all like to hang out. They don't seem to notice everyone in the living room for a few moments, still caught up in their own conversations. Leone was the first to notice us all and froze, setting off a chain reaction from all the boys all freezing staring at us. Valentino is the first to snap out of his shock and he runs towards Santiago like he was going to hug him however before he could Santiago grabs him and forces him down onto his knees and places a dagger at his neck.

I couldn't blame him. These responses to people running towards us were ingrained into our minds. We were trained to act first and think about it never. To be the perfect soldiers. Everyone froze again staring at Santiago who didn't even seem to notice he has one of his brothers in a position where he could be killed easily through various different ways.

Luka sighs as the silence grows, "Santiago let him go." He does after a second and slides his dagger away, looks over everyone, and then shifts back against the wall. Valentino looks at him and then stands up and shifts away back to where our other brothers stood. No one else tries to hug us or anything and my father motions for the boys to sit down which they hesitantly do with their focus still centered on me, Luka, and Santiago.

"What did you mean by danger?" Enzo picks up where the conversation left off which is as expected with him from what I know.

"We're The Roses and Emma, Emilio, and Ezequil are The Aces. We all have lots of enemies we've made over the years. Not to mention the other Unseen Nightmares, while no one would risk harming another Nightmare, other than The Aces, they wouldn't hesitate to take a job from a scorned person whose loved one was killed by us at one point or another." My tone was emotionless and so was I. We would leave before we would have to deal with any shit our presence may bring.

My father looks at us as if trying to piece something and we wait, "Do you-" he takes a second and glances around the room. "Are you able to get out of your," he pauses, "job?" Interesting word for killing people.

I spin my dagger, they were naive about so many things. "To put it simply, no. We can't leave no Unseen Nightmare has ever left. Even now we will have to leave here and continue to work."
