Lexi Duncan has gone through hell and she would do it again if it meant protecting her younger sister Ivy.
After an already difficult journey she finds out her father was a mafia boss and this causes another mafia to become very interested in her...
I was surprised when I woke up to the comfortable sheets of the bed in the guest bedroom. I try to remember the events of last night but it's all kind of blurry. The last thing I remember was Ash walking towards me then I must have passed out. I then remember a needle in his hand reminding me of the one that made me unconscious at Mr. Ferrara's house. He drugged me. Why? He didn't hurt me like his father told him too.
I shake off my confusion from the events that took place the night before and hop up to take a shower.

I change into a workout outfit in hopes to get some training in today. I didn't know if Kol and Ash would be okay with that but I honestly didn't care. I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen grabbing an apple out of the bowl on the counter like I owned the place. I see Marie and smile then I decide I should probably apologize for last night " Hey sorry about causing a scene last night," I wasn't really sorry but Marie seemed nice and I wanted to keep on her good side.
" It's okay sweetie, nothing to worry about," She responds with a small smile. " Harley had a good idea that we should take you shopping. How does that sound?
" Yeah sounds great." I had only been here a day but, it felt like a prison. I would take any chance to leave.
About an hour later we get in the car to leave for the mall. We have a driver take us there so Marie takes the front seat and Harley and I are in the back.
" I kinda wished that when my brother got married that his fiancé would have a sibling for me to hang out with. Cause Im homeschooled so I don't get to hang out with kids that often." She sighs
" I actually do have a younger sister," I tell her smiling.
" You do!" She exclaims.
" Yeah she's 13 how old are you?"
" I'm 12"
Harley and I had really started to bond. She reminds me a lot of Ivy and gives me kind of a sap happy feeling. Finally the car pulls up to the mall and we start our shopping spree. It had been almost two hours and everyone was getting hungry. We were waiting in line for food I used this time to go off to the bathrooms.
Or at least that's what I had told them. I was kind of sad because Marie and Harley had been so nice to me but, I can't imagine what Ivy could be going through right now. I make my way towards the bathroom but instead I head out the door and run as fast as I can.
I see a bike laying up beside a building and decide to grab it. I'm not a thief but, I have to get to Ivy as soon as possible. As I start to peddle away a man comes out of the store waving his arms and yelling at me. oops. I was unconscious when the Gordon family had taken me so it is difficult to find my way back to Mr. Ferrara's house but, luckily I finally make it.
I park the bike into the trees so that no one could see it. I sneak in from the back quickly and quietly making my way up to my old bedroom. I open the door and see Ivy on the bed curled up in a ball sniffling. No no no no.
I go over to comfort her and she flinches slightly. She then realizes its me and wraps her arms around me in the biggest hug.
" Hey, hey your okay," I assure her
I get a good look at her face to see that her nose is bleeding possibly broken and her lip looks to be cut open.
" Hey let's get you out of here. Then we can get you all cleaned up okay." I comfort her.
She nods and we make our way out the window.
We run as fast as we can. We don't stop running for what feels like forever. We go into a convenience store and head to the bathroom so that I can get Ivy cleaned up.
After I had talked to Ivy about what had happened and fixed her injuries as best as I could with the little supplies I had we walked out of the store.
We were barely two steps out of the store when I see a familiar face coming towards me.
" You're just making this harder for yourself by trying to escape," Ash says.
" Lexi what's happening?" Ivy asks while trying to hide the fear in her voice.
" It's okay, stay behind me" I say putting my arm in front of her.
" Ash" I say looking at him " Kol" I say glaring at the man
" You don't want to do this," I state not sure if it was true or not.
" It doesn't matter we need to," Ash clarifies.
" You can take me back there. It won't matter. I'll still escape. I'll still give you guys a piece of my mind. I'll drive you crazy until you guys realize it's not worth keeping me alive" I say not breaking eye contact. " Or I will come back. You can do whatever the hell you want with me. I won't try to escape. I won't complain or talk back. On one condition."
" Why would I listen to you. I can just make you do all those things. " Kol suggests
" Really? I don't think you can how did teaching me a lesson go last night huh?" I smirk trying my hardest to prove my point.
" Okay, what is it you want," Ash pushes.
" I want a good stable home for Ivy. I want proof that it's stable." I say.
They seem surprised at my answer and then Kol says " Deal" and walks off towards his car.
I did not trust Kol one bit but I just had to hope on this one that Ivy would be in good hands.
It had been a couple of hours at social security until we found a perfect family that was willing to take Ivy in.
I went to their house separately from Ash and Kol because I did not want them knowing where Ivy was. The family did seem nice but I would be checking up to make sure they weren't just putting on a mask. I hug my little sister goodbye and tell her that I'll see her soon and that this is for the best. Hoping that those words were true, I head back to Kol and Ash.
" How did you find me?" I ask Ash once I was back in the car.
" Tracker" He says in a low voice
" You guys put a fucking tracker on me?" I yell pissed.
He just glances at me from my sudden outburst and doesn't speak another word to me the entire drive back to the house.
Dustins POV:
I had just found out that Ash and Lexi were to be married. I didn't know how I felt about it. I just hoped Lexi would make him happy since I knew I never would. My thoughts are interrupted by Ash yelling out. " She escaped! I swear this girl is gonna be the death of me"
A/N: Sorry I wrote this when it was really late and I was on like 4 hours of sleep. So that's fun. I feel like this chapter was really rushed and written poorly but I'll hopefully have time to go fix it later. Anyways see ya in the next chapter.
