The Queen and Her Killer

Chapter Three

Aria

"Yo Bianchi" A voice called making me turn around glaring at whomever it was
"That isn't my name" I warned the boy as he came to join me. The boys introduced themselves all which is the only way I knew that this was Isaak
"Potato potato" He answered
"You know, you of all people should not be walking around on your own. Did you father not provide you an escort?" He asked making me scoff

That father of mine can try and do a lot of things but me allowing them is a different story 

"Look, can I help you with something or? I just want to go back to my room" I said stopping at the bottom of the corridor
"I just wanted to prewarn you something. But you didn't hear it from me" He warned making me tilt my head at him
"Whether you see yourself as a Bianchi or not. Just having that name looming over your head has put a target on your back. Do not trust anyone Aria" He said 

What is this place, why the hell am I being prewarned about something like I'm about to get murdered the moment I turn a corner

"The guys and I have your break for now but don't get yourself into so much trouble that we can't get you out of it" He muttered to himself before walking away leaving me in that spot at his figure got smaller and smaller

This entire place is eery and dark. There is this shudder every single time I hear a random noise
I'm alone here, there is nobody around that I am familiar with. The two people in this life I've ever trusted aren't here
My mum is gone and Uncle James isn't at all who I thought he was

I walked into my room to see my suitcases piled by the bed. The room was dark and bland. I'm used to having photo's all over my walls, books left right and centre. I'm used to my room being full of life but here there isn't a life
This isn't a life. 
This isn't my life 

"Mumma, where are you" I said softly as my breath hitched. I closed my eyes hoping it would stop any of the tears falling but that was never going to happen

 This time last week we were planning for our trip and now Mum left with no trace, no warning 
She left me alone.. 
Everyone does that in the end and I guess this just proves that 

"I don't understand this" I cried pulling my knees to my chin 

I had everything figured out. Mum and I were going to travel for the final summer before my senior year. I was going to go to Med School. Everything I had worked for was now non-existent and worthless
Every last breath I took preparing myself for everything I did was a waste of time
If this was the plan all along..

As I looked down at the suitcases in front of my I couldn't help but notice all of the stickers from our pervious trips. We had so many plans, so much left to do together
It doesn't make sense that she would just pick up and leave
Something had to have happened right?
My mum wouldn't just leave me.. She couldn't she wouldn't

I walked down to the main hall around dinner time in the hope that I would have missed the rush but from the looks of it, everyone seems to eat around this time "Looks like you are just in time lyubov" That familiar voice said making my head snap around 

Gabriel seems to be one of the main ring leaders around here and I didn't hear that from him
Passing anyone in the corridor, if they aren't talking about me and my grand entrance he'll be the next thing on their tongues
And I don't just mean metaphorically 

"Sit with us" He said placing his hand on the square of my back, jumping instantly at the touch he soon withdrew his hand flashing me an apologetic look  

"I think I'll just come back later" I muttered tucking a piece of hair behind my hair turning to walk away 

Socialising with people was not on my agenda right now. In fact standing here in this room, even coming down here was a bigger mistake then I think I realised
All it'll take is one comment, one wrong word and I'll turn back into a babbling idiot

"Aria" Gabriel's voice said firmly making me turn to him cautiously 
"When was the last time you ate?" He asked. That was a loaded and dangerous question if I had ever heard one 
Food and I have never really had a good relationship but I'm working on it
Or at least I was? Before I ended up here I guess

I went to turn on my heel and walk out of the main hall when an arm took a hold of my wrist just like Antonio had last night. I turned back to see Gabe looking at me with a glare
"I asked a question" He muttered pulling me back a little closer
"And I didn't answer" I said back before hearing a icy chuckle
"Don't play smart with me. When did you last eat" He said making it sound more like a warning then anything

"Breakfast" I growled while his eyes only got darker
"Today?" He pestered 
"Yesterday" I answered before watching his brown hazel eyes darken to the point they were almost black

Before I had a chance to move away from him a retreat to my room, his grip on my wrist shifted to my hand before firmly taking a hold of it dragging me over to a table where his friends sat
"What are you-" I said a little too loudly for my liking
"Sit" He said pulling out a chair next to Isaak
"you aren't the boss of me" I said crossing my arms against my chest but Gabriel looked at me before shaking his head lifting my by the waist placing my on the seat pushing my in tightly before turning to the boys

"She does not leave this table. Got it?" He warned them all, the fear in their eyes was evident but that wasn't going to stop me from attempting to try and get away 

The moment he was far enough away I attempted get up out of the chair
"I warned you Aria, I hate to break it to you Gabe is a lot more scary then you are" Isaak laughed making me narrow my eyes at him before turning to look at the other boys at the table with a pout potently on my lips 

"Eat" Gabriel said throwing a plate of food down in front of me
"Ew no" I said making the others chuckle before Gabriel glared at all of them
"You either eat this shit voluntarily or I'll force feed you Aria" He glared at me 

I looked to him before turning back to everyone else in the hope someone would let me know he was bluffing 

"It is not negotiable. You have 5-" He started before silencing himself the moment I picked up the fork placing a small amount of food into my mouth

"Khoroshaya devochka" He said making me narrow my eyes at him again. He knew I couldn't understand what he was saying but two can play that game 

"Stronzo" I replied before hearing him chuckle leaning back into his chair
