This story contains strong language viewer discretion is advised

Scarlett Mia Lanore was born in the heart of Los Angeles. She lived a normal life (other than the fact that her parents were secretly in the Mafia cartel). She was young and happy like any other kid until that fateful evening. That night she found a new side to herself ,a dark one that would make her to be one of the most "morally correct" Mafia leaders in the cartel.

It was on her 16th birthday she and her parents had just gotten home from the amusement park where they had spent their day.

Her father had sensed the presence of something in their home but thought nothing of it. He did the usual routine of hanging his coat and kicking off his shoes. As he turned to put on the lamp he felt warm breath on his neck, it was stained with the scent of whiskey and cigarettes. He tried turning to see the face that matched the presence however it was pointless for he already had a dagger in his side. He dropped to the ground, panting heavily.

The unknown figure then said in a slow, husky voice "It's nice to see you again brother." Scarlett's father slowly looked up and there stood one of his corades or rather someone who was trusted, a man that he trusted more than his own blood relatives. But now this all changed the man before him was a enemy, a fiend and a threat to his family.

Scarlett's parents were both assassin's in the Mafia however her father had worked his was up the charts and later became the leader's right-hand man.

The man that stood before him was the leader's adopted son. He was however pushed to the side for his father felt as though his skills did not even but come close to Scarlett's father's.

"J- Jeremy"said Scarlett's father in complete agony while holding his side. "W- What do you want from me?"

(Jeremy is the unknown figure)

"Aww come on Zaine is that really how you're gonna talk to your dear brother-in-law." Jeremy had said this with a menacing grin on his face."Where's that lovely wife of yours, I'd like to say hi to my sister for a change. Oh and see you have a daughter now wha-"

(Zaine is Scarlett's father)

He was cut off by Zaine "Get the hell out! Why would I want my family to be in the presence of someone who murdered his own father!?" Zaine was starting to get anxious but he couldn't show it.

Jeremy replied "Coming from a murderer like you that means so much to me."his voice was filled with sarcasm."Look at the predicament you're in. You're literally on your knees yet you're still acting a ass!"he then let out a loud laugh "Hah, look at you, how pathetic."

"Our agencies best assassin kneeling before me. Hah,that's a new one."

Zaine could feel himself slowly becoming light headed,he was loosing too much blood.

There was silence which was shorty broken by the sound of footsteps.

Zaine's heart dropped,he now knew that his family was now in great danger. Jeremy pulled his gun out of his pocket and slowly began walking to the staircase where the noise came from.

Once he was out of sight Zaine stood up even though he was in pain he knew he had to do something.

Scarlett was in the attic. Fortunately she and her mother had went into the house through the backdoor. When her mother heard the comosion infront she darted upstairs with Scarlett by her side.
