Chapter One

ATHENA POV:

I hear the chime of keys. We all call him Mr. Jingles, the man that smirks as he locks us in and scrowls when letting us out.

Sitting in my cell but not alone, dreaming of the outside but knowing it will never be the same. Most people are scared of me on the outside, some are disgusted while others stare with eyes full of hatred. I mean who wouldn't.

I did kill my husband. My cellmate always pushes, she wants to know the story but I don't like to brag, I mean I bloody KILLED my husband for goodness sake. Being a part of the mafia taught me many things.

Born into the mafia, arranged to marry my deceased husband the same day. I guess you can say I'm widowed.

I've got a plan and I'm taking my cell mate with me. Can you guess what it is? Well, I'm escaping, being in the mafia has its privileges.

Changing my name, dying my hair and wearing contacts. Going back to the underground and taking down my brothers, they won't see it coming.

Making another mark on the wall to symbolise another day, I hear the sound of the lock on the door turning and I look up. His scrowl is priceless.

He doesn't say anything, he roughly grabs me and my cellmate by our upper arms. Neither of us make a fuss or try to fight him, there was no point anyway we would just end up in the hole, it's dark in there.

He practically drags us out of our cell, not worrying about Kenna tripping over her own two feet. He doesn't let us go even going down the stairs, Kenna eventually trips, this girl really does have two left feet.

Taking me down with her Mr. Jingles moves to the side to avoid taking a tumble, with his two favourite prisoners.

Hearing a chuckle, I groan and get to my feet holding my hand out for Kenna. She happily takes it.

When I'm standing I glare at him, Kenna notices my action and does the same. I mentally high five her.

He rolls his eyes and begins to drag us again, Kenna still falling behind. Mr Jingles let's out a frustrated sigh, '' You really do have two left feet girl.''

As I was about to say something, a large bang is heard, echoed throughout the prison. I told them to be discreet about it, what did I expect, I was asking something from the most dramatic guy I know.

Suddenly, I feel someone grab my hand, then I feel cold metal wrap around my wrist. I heard a gasp from next to me, looking down the officer had cuffed me and Kenna to him, making sure we could make no escape.

"What was that?" The officer asks, clearly suspecting it's something to do with me due to my history. I ignore him and give Kenna a look that says 'keep your mouth shut and don't say a thing', she doesn't say anything but gives me a look to show she understands.

Sighing a frustrated sigh, mocking the one the officer did earlier. ''Well this is going to be fun, you know you really shouldn't have done that.'' I say hearing a giggle from Kenna.

''Oh yeah and why is that?'' He answered, irritation clear in his voice.

''You see, now your going to have to join the ride.'' I reply, a smirk slowly making It's way on my lips

''Wha-'' The officer is cut off, another loud bang is heard throughout the prison.

''ATHENA! WHERE ARE YOU PRINCESS?'' I look up and see just who I was waiting for. Kyle a.k.a Wrath in the underground. I roll my eyes and he gasps when his eyes land on me.
