Italian-American Mafia: Origin Story

55.

Persephone Pov

The sound of a gun safety was heard around the room. The room was quiet, walls were still, and everyone was focusing on the task at hand.

'Darrius put the safety back on the gun' I said.

He said something under his breath but ended up putting the safety back on. I finished putting a loaded clip into the gun.

I finished my set of guns and started to put one in the back of my sweats. I pulled down my sweatshirt so you can't see.

I grabbed some holsters and knives and made my way to the bathroom. I got into the bathroom and pulled my pants down but stopped when I saw my infinite scars.

I rub my hands over the scar and think about that day.

I came home from middle school, excited to show my parents what I did. Of course the abuse started but it wasn't as bad as it went on.

I thought I did something wrong, but me being the innocent naive child I still loved them.

I got home excited to show my parents the drawing I made them, and tell my mommy all about a boy that I met as well.

I saw my parents in the living room and I started to tell them all about it.

'Mommy look what I made'

I showed her my drawing and she had a dead look in her eyes.

'That's me and my new friend, I meet him today and he's super nice and sweet' I said all excitedly.

She scoffed and threw the paper back in my face. I wanted to cry in that moment but mommy and daddy told me that crying is for weak and I'm not weak.

'You see that honey, our daughter is a slut' she said.

'Mhm I see she needs to be taught a lesson don't you think' daddy said.

At this point I was scared but I was to frozen to move. Daddy went into the kitchen and came back with a knife.

I hadn't registered anything but the next thing I know was that I'm on the floor screaming my lungs out telling them to stop.

'If you EVER SHOW SOME SHIT LIKE THIS, YOULL GET A WORSE PUNISHMENT THEN A FEW KNIFE CUTS'

I nodded my head really fast hoping they stopped.

My mother stabbed the inside of my thigh and twisted the knife.

At this point I was screaming for bloody murder. She took the knife out and slapped me across the face.

'Now no boy would want you with all those ugly ass scars, now get the fuck out of my face'

Coming back to reality I put the holster on my right thigh and strapped 4 knives to it. I then put the second holster on my left thigh and put the gun there.

I pulled up my pants and washed my hands. I dried my hands off and open the door and the boys were right there.

'Yall ok' I said side eyeing them.

'Yeah you were in there for a long time and we tried calling you out you weren't answering' Hades explained.

I nodded my head at them and walked back to our planning table. Things with Hades are still on the fence and I'm just not ready to talk to him.

He held information from us for months and I'm kind of irritated at him. Yes he had the right intentions, but it affected him and he said some stuff that just cut deep to me.

The boys made their way to the table and we begin talking, well more so Hades began explaining.

'So what's the deal with your parents and what the fuck happened' Darrius asked.

I leaned my head on Darrius shoulder and he leaned his head on my head.

'Well this started right after Valentine's Day-'

'You mean to tell me that you kept this kind of information from us for 2 almost 3 months' I asked

'Yeah, but it hasn't been three months yet'

'Babes it's almost May I can positively say it's about to be 3 months but keep going' I said.

'Anyways this happened right after Valentines Day after we just finished fucking, I got this weird text message, and at first I didn't think of anything of it at first so I blew it off. But my gut told me a different story, so I looked at the message and it said 'we're coming'

I heard a snicker beside me and I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

'Is that what you both say' Darrius said but couldn't hold it together. He broke out in laughter and I couldn't help but smile.

'Darrius be serious for once' I tried saying.

'Sorry sorry, go on Hades tell us how you held this kind of information for months and started acting weird towards us' he said.

Hades rolled his eyes and finished telling his story.

'So I didn't think anything of it because it could be just a prank so I blew it off. Skip a couple of weeks I got another message from the same number but this time it said "we're back". I knew from that message, that this could only come from the donors. Only they know a way to fuck me up when I'm the most happiest' he said the last part looking at me.

'So you got a message, doesn't mean it's from your parents' I said.

'That's what I thought too, and I tried to track it but couldn't do it so I asked a friend to help me track it, which led to a dead end' he said.

'Ok so you still don't have any evidence that this was your parents doing, for all we know it could be a stupid prank' Darrius said

'I know but they had sent me another message that confirmed it was them. They said "we're going to get you when you least expect it... Apollo"

Fuck. The only people who knows his middle name is his parents and us.

'So why didn't you tell us, your fucking parents hired someone to kill you but we fought together and killed them. So what's the difference know' Darrius said.

'Yeah they tried to killed me, but I almost lost you guys in the process and I don't want to do that again. Last time was risky and I'm not risking y'all's life again for that matter' he said.

'Dude your talking to the same people who wanna be mafia leaders when their older, cmon their something your not tell us' Darrius said

Hades sighed and rubbed his hands down his face. Shit this is not good.

'Hades what is it' I asked

He didn't say anything but just toss photos across the table. Me and Darrius looked at each other and made a silent conversation.

I picked up the photos and my heart dropped. It was phots of us... all of us for at least the months that he held this information from us.

'That's not all' Hades said.

'What the fuck do you mean that's not all, what else is there' Darrius said.

'They know about you two' he said.

'Ok how's that bad' I asked.

'Pers... they know EVERYTHING'

Well fuck me.
