The Cinderella Life

Trouble 4

"I have a plan" Carlos said raising his hand like a child. Both me and Sofia looked at him with hope, but then he gave a sheepish smile. Sofia hit his head hard with her bag.

"Do we look like we are planning a joke?" She asked as she hit him again on his head.

"The people helping your sister are pro and are very smart" James said. We were all In a big room in the hospital, four of both me and Carlos men were present. My mum and Sofia was also there, Jennie already went home with my dad.

Dduuuuuu Dduuuuuu

My mum phone rang.

"Excuse me" she said leaving the room.

"I have an idea" Ben said looking at me for permission.

"Go on"

"I was thinking that we should both divide ourselves into three or two. Let's get some men to go to the Northern forest to ensure your lady. Some others will follow Carlos sister and mother, but if they go different places then another group will follow Carlos Sister and the last group will follow the mother" Ben said.

"I agree with him boss, it's going to be a win for either the groups or just one"

"Your right. If the first group can get to Tana they can keep safe, then the second group following Christina will know the rest of her plan. But if her men catches Tana before us, Christina will lead us directly to where they will keep her" I said getting the plan.

"Will they leave the house today?" I asked Carlos.

"They both leave the house everyday mostly my sister, am sure the plan will work well. But we will need a very tight and strong security" Carlos answered as he gave a suggestion.

"We will take care of that boss" One of Carlos men Alex said to Carlos.

"After hearing of the incident of the house burning, we......" He was cut by a voice, a very familiar one.

"Antonio" He said as he walked to me hugging me tightly, I stood up and hugged him back.

"The flight was for three-four hours. Am sorry I didn't make it on time. How are you doing?"

"There's no need to be sorry I understand. Am doing good, how's the family?" I asked as little tears dropped from my eyes. I haven't seen my brother for five years.

"Aren't you my family?" He asked teasingly as a smile crept to my face.
"They send their regards to you and your girlfriend" He said winking at me.

My mum walked in as she smiled widely, she sat back on her chair. I guess the call she went to answer was from Tony {My brother}

"I heard everything from the news and dad" He said as his smile reduced.

"I'm sorry about everything" he said placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Everything will be alright" He said with a reassuring look.

"Carlos" Tony said as they both shaked hands.

"Good day Sir" My men and Carlos men greeted at the same time. He nodded to them giving a warm smile.

"Heyyy, it's been long"  He said to Sylvia as they both waved to each other.

He sat on a chair besides my mum.

"So what's the plan?" He asked eager.

TANA'S POV

Am still running fast as my legs are becoming weaker. I mistakenly tripped on a stone causing me to loose my balance and fall face to the ground as I groin in pain.

I cried bitterly cause I think I just twisted my bones or broke my leg.  The footsteps were getting closer and I started to hear a little roar.

I used my elbows to move as the puppy ran towards me. It looked at me with pity, as it dragged my shirt forward with it's teeth. We were moving so slow,and whatever or whoever is chasing us can catch us at any second.

The trees and bushes around suddenly became quiet, the birds on the trees all flew away. Fear tighten my chest.

I started hearing the footsteps getting closer with a little roar.
The dog stop dragging my shirt as it went into my arm afraid, I wrapped it with my hand tryin to comfort him.

All of a sudden a lion jumped out of the tree, standing as it moved little by little towards me. I immediately started searching the bag the first my hand gripped was a gun. I brought it out holding it shakily and pointing it towards the lion.
The lion seem afraid a little bit was still moving towards me.

I dropped the gun back in the bag, as I dipped my hand in the bag again and brought out a candle with matches. I immediately lit up the candle with the fire from the matches. It seemed sacred at first by shifting a little back. I think I made him angry, it roared loudly this time.

It walked towards me again not being sacred again. My heart raced fastly as the puppy started to shake it's body fearfully.

I closed my eyes tightly as tears streamed down from my eyes. I can't believe this I how am going to die.

I opened my eyes slowly when i noticed nothing had attacked me or the puppy for a minute. I looked on the ground as my eyes went shocked. The lion was lying lifeless on the ground, there wasn't any trace of blood or weapon. I looked up in the sky and thanked God- Miracles Do Happen.

I rested my head on the tree besides me, I can't move my leg or walk and the puppy is still on my lap with it's eyes closed.

AT THE HOSPITAL

"Ben, Alex. I want you to get more of your men, You guys should all met up and divide yourselves in two but if Carlos mum goes a different way then three groups" My brother said with a commanding tone.

"Yes Sir" They responded as they left.

"Carlos you need to get home, if you sense they are about to leave the house then give my brother a phone call" Tony said.

"Sure boss" Carlos said sarcastically as he laughed and my brother joined. He walked out of the room winking at my mom, he's trying to make me angry but I will ignore.

"Sofia, Mum. You guys should get home we will handle everything"
My brother said.

"I want to follow"Sofia objected.

"I think you should let them go with us" I spoke.

"Sure" My brother agreed. "But first you ladies should go and rest" My brother insisted.

"James let's get to work with the security" I told James as we started working on how to hack any computer, or the security cameras.
