His Star | A mafia story

I'll always be here

He drags me down the stairs causing flashbacks from the last time he did this exact thing. Two large men follow Kol down the stairs.

" Okay boys this just isn't fair. I mean I know I'm pretty intimidating but come on three on one. If we're gonna fight, let's at least make it fair." I state sarcastically before feeling a hit to the face.

" Come on you can hit better than that Kol, you hit like a girl," I tell him, staring into his soul.

" I'd watch your mouth if I were you," He warns.

" I don't see the point in that." I respond snarkily.

Suddenly I see Kols foot swing towards my gut and I jump out of the way startling him. "Looks like you missed me ." I taunt stupidly.

" Boys, I don't have time for these childrens games. Get her contained." Kol orders.

The two bulky men grabbed me in no time although I did put up quite the fight. They drag me over to the corner of the room. While I try to get out of their grasp.

" Teach her a lesson, I'd enjoy a good show, boys." Kol cruel eyes meet my pleading ones.

The two men tie my arms behind my back forcefully. I let out a small grunt of pain. The rope is rough and torn. It looks like it has been used a thousand times before and it wouldn't surprise me if it had.

I see the taller one of the two men reach behind his back and pull out a shiny dagger. The blade was small but sharp. And these men looked like they knew how to kill.

One man pushes me up against the wall while the one with the dagger steps closer. He tightens his grip around the dagger before driving it into my left arm. I felt like I was burning. He slowly drags the dagger down my arm making a slit open up on my entire arm. I let out a scream. The fact I know someone can hear me but decides to sit there and do nothing does not help.

The other bodyguard had a bored look on his face before leaning in to whisper something in my current tourcherers ear. They both have darkness in their eyes and cruel smirks curving onto their face.

He slips the dagger carefully into the other man's hand catching me off guard when the other man drives it into my abdomen. My vision is getting cloudy and all I see are tiny black specks. I'm still conscious as he carves something into my abdomen with the white heat of the dagger searing my skin. 

I am laying on my back in too much pain to move. I hear the shuffle of Kol's feet coming closer. He smirks as he looks down upon my bloody broken body. " Bitch," he smirks before kicking me one last time right in my bloody stomach.

My blood is pooling around me and I know I should try to slow the blood but I am in too much pain to try. " Help," I whisper, hearing the final latch of the door knowing no one was coming to save me.

Dustin POV:

" Dustin, Dustin help!" Harley screams as she rushes into the office I was working in.

" What is it?" I ask slightly annoyed assuming this was one of her pranks that she pulls on me all too often.

" Where's Lexie?" She asks nervously.

" I can't tell you but she's okay," I pushed her off confused as to where this was coming from.

" I think she's in the basement," She tells me with her eyes tearing up.

For a moment I was confused until everything clicked. " Harley, listen to me Alexia is with her sister, she's safe." I assure her.

Harley still doesn't seem sure. " Can you go check?" she pleads.

" Harley, you know what your dad does. I can't just go barging in on your father. If I did I would probably be killed and this pretty face is way to young to die."  

" No, your Ash's right hand man and Ash is in charge." She explains proud to have found a hole in my story.

" Fine. But it's not going to be her." I tell her as I walk out of the room. I wait until Kol has exited the room before I continue my way towards the stairs. I prepare myself for the unbelievable amount of blood that is surely pooled all over the floor. I am about to head down the stairs when the door swings open.

" Why are you going to the basement?," Ash asks seriously.

" Wow, hello to you too. It's ridiculous but Harley thinks that Alexia may be down there. I know it's not but I don't want to listen to your sister whine all day."

Ash immediately pushed past me down the stairs, I followed him down the stairs and as he swung the door open I could see his heart stop. Lexi is bloody on the floor. Unconscious.  

Ash POV: 

"Lex," I whisper. I pick her up bridal style and rush up the stairs. I head straight to my bedroom and order Dustin to get out the first aid kit. I lay her gently on my large king bed with black comforters. I lifted up her shirt to see the damage done from the obviously multiple stab wounds and what I see horrifies me, one word carved in her stomach forever bitch  " I promised you he could never hurt you. I'm so sorry," I whisper in her ear after I finished doing all that I could with the supplies I had. I called a few doctors that were on their way to help further. 

 Lexi had still not woken up. The doctors had left but will be back first thing in the morning to run tests or some shit. Anger flowed through me like a volcano about to erupt. 

I walked down the stairs to the main floor and saw my dad standing calmly in the kitchen. 

" Son why aren't you training?" He asked sternly.

" Why the fuck would you do that to Alexia? I yelled in his face. " Huh?" I yell again knowing that no answer would be accepted as correct. I swung at him knocking him down to his feet. I step on his throat then grab him by the collar demanding that he gets up. 

" I'm not a little kid anymore and I should have done this to you a long time ago."  

Fury rushes through me like a blazing fire as I shove him out the door. 

" All the guards complain and same about the members of this mafia about your leadership, no one is on your side. I am the leader of this Mafia and from this day forward you are banned from this property. If you are seen I will let the guards know to shoot on sight," I demand, before slamming the door closed as I saw two guards dragging him out of the gate. 

I run into Dustin as I'm making my way to check on Lexi. 

" Good going boss," Dustin says. 

" Yeah, you know what isn't "good going" letting my fiancé get tortured. Where the hell where you? I told you to look after her." I say angrily my volume slowly getting louder. Dustin stays silent. 

" You have nothing to say?" I questioned with a look of pure fury. 

" Didn't think so, get out." I order pointing towards the door as I look him straight in the eyes. 

" Boss don't you think thats over exaggerating a little bit," he questions me. 

At this moment in time I am about to explode. " Over exaggerating? I am being nice he could have killed her and it would have been YOUR fault!? I should kill you for that but I am letting you off easy. I never want you around me or Lexi ever again." I explain ignoring him and his desperate attempts to plead his case as I finish my way to my bedroom. 

" Hey, baby." I whisper as her eyes begin to flutter open.

" Ash..." she whispers quietly. 

" Shhh... shhh. Rest, I'm here. I'll always be here."
