Aryah's POV

*Date night continued*

Austin pulled up to a somewhat fancy looking restaurant called Cliché.

"I have a reservation under the name of Sanders." Austin informed the hostess.

"Ah right this way sir." She smiled as she grabbed two menus. As she walked us to our booth I couldn't help but notice a table of four men dressed in all black staring at me intently. Austin didn't seem to notice which was weird because he is always aware of his surroundings no matter what.

"How do you like the restaurant so far?" Austin asked as we sat down.

"Its nice, I just want food I'm starving." I laughed as I picked up the menu.

"Hello, my name is Anita and I will be your waitress for the night. Is there any drinks or appetizers I can start you both off with?" Anita asked as she took out her note pad. We ordered our food and one of the men in the black walked by. I instantly felt nauseous from the cologne he was wearing.

"Babe I'll be right back I need to go use the bathroom." I told Austin as I got up and headed towards the bathroom, after releaving my stomach I washed my hands and rinsed my mouth as best I could from the vomit. On my way out I ran into an old friend from high school.

"Deedee?" I asked in shock.

"Aryah?!" She semi yelled my name and we both went in for a hug.

"Girl its been so long! You look good."I complimented.

"Thank you thank you." She smiled doing a little twirl to show off her whole outfit and I chuckled.

"Girl you haven't changed one bit. How have you been?" I smiled.

"I been good, I just out here visiting for my cousin's wedding." She sighed.

"What you don't like it out here?" I asked her with a pout, I mean who couldn't love Cali?

"Oh no! Believe me I love it out here, but girl let me tell you," She put her hands on her hips causing me to laugh a little."Leena is turning into the definition of a bridezilla." I laughed so hard. The smell of food hit my nose instantly. Damn was I that hungry?

"I can imagine, but hey it was good catching up with you! We should chill before you leave." I hugged her and gave her my number before making my way back to the seat.

"Took you long enough." Austin mugged as I took a sip of my rootbeer. The hell is his problem?

"Look if you gone have an attitude we can cancell this date and take me back home." I looked at him with anger written all over my face. He mugged me as the waitress sat our food down and saying I was hungry was an understatement... What was wrong with me?

As we were getting to leave the restaurant Austin decided he wanted to take a walk down the beach and talk since not much was said at dinner. Since it was still pretty warm out I decided to just go despite what happened less than thirty minutes ago.

As I took off my heels and stepped out of the car, an uneasy feeling came to me and suddenly a blacked out Chevy Suburban pulled up and the men I recognized from the restaurant jumped out. I pulled out my box cutter knife from underneath my dress because my dumb ass left my gun at home. Since when did I do that?

Austin didn't seem fazed one bit as he lit his joint and smiled at the men.

"Jake, Don, Ron, and Quay, my niggas!" Austin dapped up the four big men," Oh baby I'm sorry, baby these are some close friends of mines, boys this is my girl Aryah." He introduced us as he took a long drag from his joint.

"Aryah as in your father's number one target?" One of the men whos name I can't remember asked. The fuck he mean number one target?

Austin nodded at two of the men rushed me, I immediately made sure my knife made contact with both of them. I am not gone bitch out and just let these big bulldozer niggas take me and drag me away like a damn rag doll. With my clutch in my left hand and my knife in my right, I ran as fast as I could in this tight ass dress. I took out my phone and called Deja so she could hear me. As soon as she answered the phone U was tackled to the sand and punched in the face causing me to get a little dizzy and I tried my hardest not to scream. I lifted my right hand up and tried to stab the man holding me down but failed as I was kicked in the side of my head. My brain was running a million miles a second. Why the fuck is this happening? When I finally put some trust in a nigga and try to leave my past behind me, why did I get betrayed? Why me... Again?

I tried my hardest to fight as I was going in and out of conciousness, luckly these niggas didnt find my phone for it was face down jn the sand somewhere. Where the hell is Deja? I know she has a tracker in my phone and she should be here soon.

"Sorry it had to end like this, I really wanted to be with you," Austin stroked my cheek as I struggled to get away from his men and beat his ass,"Calm down baby, I'm doing what I was told to do." With that I felt a hard fist to my face. The last things I heard was a car screeching and gun shots before I was out.

Deja's POV

I answered my phone and heard what sounded like a Aryah dropped her phone. Her clumsey ass I chuckled to myself which soon came to a hault after hearing people struggling in the backround. I got one of my workers to track her phone since I was chillen wit some of my girls since Aryah was on her date and my baby Trey went to Atlanta to visit his grandmother. I wasn't ready to meet his family yet so I didn't go.

"She's at Santa Monica Beach." Tory told me with an anxious look on his face. I hoped up and grabbed my keys to my black van and rounded up a team. If you fuck with my girls, you fuck with me. I stayed on the line so I can hear what was going on.

"Sorry it had to end like this, I really wanted to be with you...Calm down baby, I'm doing what I was told to do." I immediately recognize Austin's voice. I was so angry. How could he betray my sister like that? My Ace Boon Coon my mutha fuckin Ridah?!

"Drive faster!" I yelled at Celine letting my temper get the best of me. In no time we pulled up to the beach and started blastin on these niggas as my team hoped out of the can rushing to get Aryah. Little did I know as soon as we pulled up they took her in some otger direction.

As I looked around I seen two men dead and two of my men wounded.

What the fuck is happening? I thought to myself as I picked up Aryah's clutch and cracked phone the was wedged into the sand.

"Everybody back to the trap." I yelled with anger. How could I have not saved my fuckin sister? I was so fukin furious my hands were shaking as I called Bre'yanna. Why does she have to be taken from me twice? Five years ago was the first time, I thought she was trying to get over her oast and move on so ehat the fuck went wrong this time?

"Hello?" Bre'yanna answered and sounded exhausted.

"We need you back in Cali ASAP, some shit just went down and I need as many men and Lucies you can bring."
Lucies was our code name for guns.

"Bet we will be catching the first flight out there. I'll strike you then." I hung up the phone and walked to my bedroom to take a shower after I left the trap house. This is going to be one long ass war. I thought to myself. Yes I meant war don't fuck with me and mines.
