The Mafia Chose Me?! (Completed) ✅

Chapter 7

Leonardo hugged me tight, making me feel comfort for the first time in a while. "Erin," he kept whispering over and over again. "Leonardo, can you untie me?" I asked softly. Leonardo nodded his head, quickly went around me and untied my hands from the rope.

My hands quickly came in front of me so I could twist them making sure they don't feel anymore pain. Leonardo came back around to the front of me and gave me a hug.

I hugged him back, resting my head in the crook of his neck. I started crying. "I'm right here Cucciolo(Puppy), I am right here." Leonardo whispered softly into my ear as I kept on crying. Leonardo picked my up, cupping my butt to keep me from falling on the ground.

"I was so scared!" I cried struggling to breath for air. "I know," he whispered rubbing my back with his one free hand. "I was too." He said softly making me shake some more. I kept on crying.

"Let's go home." He said softly lowering me to the ground, making sure I was able to stand on my own. I winced in pain from the wounds the metal tipped whip caused. "What's wrong?" Leonardo asked softly holding me up with an arm keeping me from falling.  "Nothing," I whispered, wincing once again, I lied straight to his face.  "Well something is wrong."  Leonardo said turning around once again, this time to pull my shirt up that was somewhat bloody. 

He lifted the shirt up revealing marks from the whip.  "Who did this to you?"  Leonardo asked angrily staring at the wounds all over my body.  "Diego," I said softly quivering with fear.  Leonardo hugged me close to his chest.  "He wasn't at the mansion when you were kidnapped."  Leonardo whispered hugging me close to his body. I snuggled into Leonardo chest wanting to feel close to someone familiar.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Gunshots were heard, echoing through the the small little rickety room we were in. Leonardo quickly turned looking for the person who fired the gun. The person was not in sight. Loud growls and howls were heard getting closer to us. Leonardo took out the gun from his holster on his back and pointed it downwards at the ground.

Black furry dogs came running up there was a few less than then there was when I met them first.  Leonardo put his gun away when he noticed it was his dogs.  They jumped on me licking my face the most.  They probably missed me, a lot it seems.  I heard Leonardo laughing next to me as he was watching over me. 

"Them really did miss you, a lot."  Leonardo said and held a hand out for me to take.  I took the hand to help me up.  He pulled me up onto my feet.  I stumbled over one of the black furry dogs and was engulfed in Leonardo's arms.  His body was warm and welcoming, I melted right into his arms. 

There were more gun shots heard. 

The echoing sound of the shot made me anxious.  I don't know who was shooting at what, were the people that were being shot at on our side or the other side. 

"We need to leave,"  Leonardo said dragging me towards the opposite wall he came in from.  "There is a car out here that will take us back home."  Leonardo said, but he instantly stopped when we heard the reload of a gun. 

I froze in my spot. 

I turned to look behind me I saw Diego pointing a gun straight at me.  Leonardo quickly took out his gun aiming for Diego.  "Drop the gun!"  Diego screamed putting his finger over the trigger.  "Or I'll shoot him!"  Diego threatened, I looked over at Leonardo to still see him holding the gun up at Diego and not lowering it. 

"I mean it!"  Diego said and started to slowly pull the trigger backwards.  Leonardo lowered the gun, seeing how Diego's threat was true.  "Fine," Leonardo sighed putting his gun back in his holster.  "Nope not back in the holster, toss it."  Diego said motioning with his gun.  Leonardo tossed the gun but not very far it was a good few meters away.
